The absolutely pervasive mentality that unwanted criticism or critique shouldn't be given and should be ignored is why fans of color don't stay in fan spaces.

And I am not going to mince words here:

A lot of you are racist. A lot of your fan works are racist.

That might have been difficult to hear. And if it was, you should probably reflect on why that was.

"Fandom etiquette" has created a space where fans of color either bite our tongues and eventually leave or say something, get dogged on, and then eventually leave.

the first chapter of my @stobinminibang is finally here!!! it was such a great time to work with @adesa-arts. this is my first "big" fandom event and i'm just so excited about it :)

summary:

"You're my best friend, you know," Robin says, a statement of fact. He is her best friend. And he does know that. It's not new information by any means, but it tastes different in her mouth, now, knowing that some asshole from high school grew up to drive her to the grocery store after the apocalypse. "Stop that," Steve says, "You sound like you're delivering me a speech on your death bed." His intonation is joking, but his voice cracks a bit on the word 'deathbed' and he glances over at her in worry. "I'll be fine, Steve," she says. "I'm just glad we're alive."

Or, Steve and Robin survive the apocalypse. And then they survive some more. A story in three parts, featuring s'mores, nosebleeds, and nail polish.

excerpt:

It's not until she shuts off the shower and feels water still falling down her face that she realizes, oh, she's crying again. She doesn't bother wiping the tears off. It's nice to have the time to cry. That's what they have now, isn't it? They have time to cry. They have time.

Robin looks at the clothes on the toilet seat lid. Picks up a shirt. Unfolds it.

It's Steve's obviously, and it smells a little bit like dust and a little like Steve. Not sweat. Not blood. Not decay. Steve. It's been a while since she's smelled him, the real him, without the salt or the Upside Down gunk. She missed it. It smells safe.

I'm safe, she remembers.

There's a knock on the door.

here's mickey, goofy, donald, and chip & dale. yeah they turned mickey & friends into anime boys. they're an idol unit or something. they're technically not anime boy versions of the source characters, they have different names. mickey's guy is "Neo Michel". not michael, michel, like he's french. chip & dale are "Ruska Moncrief" and "Ranka Monk", they have different last names, they're not brothers anymore so that they can be yaoibait instead, anyways this post isn't actually about these guys I'm just setting the stage for the actual humanizations I wanted to show you

They also did monsters inc. And. Well it's obvious from the designs who mike and sully are. but you will also notice. the blonde one on the left. with glasses. monsters inc is kind of famously about just the two guys so they didn't really have a lot of other non-villain characters to take anime boys inspiration from, I guess, so, well,

and i know most of yous didnt know this and thats fine! no need to apologise im not trying to make u feel bad, im just trying to navigate fandom and this website without being constantly exposed to a really awful racist slur

if u have to use that specific term, at least keep the slashes between the letters. it still sucks to see tho ngl. even better! stick to omegaverse or instead use aob (alpha-omega-beta) (imo its also nicer to pronounce; ay-oh-bee. ayo-bee)

the upgraded xenonite suit was invented shortly after
