not very good at talking to the void

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.

Imagine you're Ladybug. So you're Superman, and you have a crush (Justin Bieber), and he (Justin Bieber) goes to your school, and you (Superman) see him (Justin Bieber) every day even if he doesn't know it and sometimes you (Superman) even save him! He (Justin Bieber) has a crush on you (Superman) too, you think, or at least he likes you, and talking to him as Superman is a bit easier because if he ever made you uncomfortable—impossible as the thought is—you (Superman) could just kill him.

Of course, then he starts really crushing on you. He starts saying you're the inspiration behind every good deed he does (which is normal). He starts admitting to thinking about you all the time to the point of negatively impacting every other aspect of his life (which is normal). And then he (Justin Bieber) starts praying to Superman in class before tests because he believes Superman (you) was ORDAINED GENUINE HEAVENLY POWERS.
