I'm not talking rappers.

If you are a Blerd, we're going to have to start gatekeeping The Big 5.

Many others who aren't Blerds but have overlapping interests are looking for new avenues. They want something different, better, and enjoy things that isn't coming from a small little group of mid-tier to high ranking online celebrities patting eachother on the back & shutting the door closed behind them. They have every right to be mad, but it's not our job to open the doors for anyone and everyone only to relive the same microaggressions and bullcrap over, and over, and over again. To have the same discourse, come up with new solutions, only for nothing to change.

There are some who are genuinely good people! People who are chill & can treat us like human beings, but there are many whom we have seen in recent months who genuinely believes that simply consuming us is activism while acting like the expectation of treating us like human beings with baggage, cultural trauma, and boundaries that we don't want crossed as high treason.

If you are a Blerd, then you probably, and I strongly advise you to as a mere suggestion, have to gatekeep The Big 5.

Our art in this cultural niche is still in it's infancy. There will be disappointments and problems. But if you have enjoyed anyone of the glimpses we have seen of The Big 5 before they've become fully formed, I need you to lock in. Donate if you can, share it with fellow Blerds if you can. Host watch parties with those you trust and like!

I can tell those who aren't Blerds don't even know that these exist. And if they didn't already know, 9 times out of 10, it's a sign that it might have to stay that way.

Everyone needs a slur except them apparently. "There needs to be a slur for (insert thing I dont like)." They'll remember theirs long enough to argue with you about the usage of the n-word in a rap song, compared to what they were called once in a predominantly black/latino public school, but you'll never even see them try to make any, serious attempt at using their own to funnel whatever wicked, sleeping biases apparently "innately" lie low, stirring and brewing, just waiting to pop out around their most informative years ("The Racist Phase"). Like, you can't treat it like it's a canon event and not at least try to funnel it in some way.

Hmm..how do I explain this?

Ah.

I hope the inevitable rise of Black only fandom spaces, and the ever increasing gatekeeping of our culture makes you shriek and vomit with rage. The itch that we're no longer just a faceless hypothetical props to point at and say "See? They don't care about T H E W O R D!!!" makes you claw at your unwashed skin.

I hope when a Black fan walks into a movie theater on June 4th, that they make a hard pivot and clutch their popcorn before having to sit down next to your rancid, scent of an unwiped ass.

I hope mall security packs up every last one of you woobified, wanna be dark woke, no theater etiquette having ass Hills Have Eyes lookin' fans like the dorrito dust nibbling cockroaches you are when you even think of singing "Running The Show."

I hope every other marginalized person learns this lesson and does the same thing (carving out their own spaces in fandom), leaving you to shriek and cry, and claw, and gasp, and howl, and furiously mess yourselves at the very idea that YOU can feel excluded.

That YOU can feel unwanted!

That YOU learn finally, that no matter the demographic of your fellow fans,

YOU will be left out in the sun to dry.

All we have ever asked is that y'all stop playing with the fucking n-word. Stop telling US how we should feel, while posturing to naive bleeding heart liberal that it's OUR job to educate BOTH of you.

NEITHER of you want education. You all have cried about not knowing the rules of the n-word since Kramer's meltdown, and Pewdiepie. You need logic you can argue against, you need permission to enjoy racism.

Decry feminism

Call it one of the biggest failings of 'Western Civilization.'

Hate seeing women and anyone who isn't a cishet white male in videogames, movies, tv, comic books, politics, etc

Insist women can't make good presidents

Rage at Roe v. Wade

Seethe at No-Fault Divorce

Slut shame us

Radicalized an entire generation of men into violent, fascistic incels

Demand that the Bible be taught in schools, have laws adhere to the Bible, and position Christianity as the state religion with all of the gender politics it entails, essentially creating a theocracy

Police how we dress

Target us for how we dress, regardless of how revealing or modest it is

Laugh at us for dealing with the same financial struggles they do and see it as proof of feminism 'not working'

Spreading mass p3doph1le apologia

Called 3pstein & Trump 'cool' when, and ONLY when the latter was shown to be in the files

Film themselves in full camo-uniform, jokingly saying they need to 'watch out for honey pots' when they get to Iran

Are the same ones telling you that we're going to war to 'liberate Iranian women'. And pray-tell, what favorable reference to women's liberation do these men even have that isn't completely self-fulfilling and fetishizing? And what makes you think that anything they want out of this ordeal will align with your beliefs? Because you hate hijabs? Hijabs aren't feminist enough for you?

No one here is taking a backseat on hijabs and their implications of Iranian liberation just because we fear being labeled as Islamophobic. We're taking a step back and thinking for more than 30 seconds about how there's nothing feminist about blowing up a school of women and children. Whatever our feelings are about religious coverings is irrelevant when it's so blatantly obvious that this is NOT the reason for this illegal war. It has been and always will be about empire expansion!!!

And the worst part of all of this is that it's not that hard of a point to figure out on your own when you realize it's all of the wolves who have been feasting on the lambs for decades now telling those same lambs: "Did you know the shepherd on the other side of the field MAKES their sheep wear ear tags? I think I'll do something about that." The most BRUTAL part about this, however, is seeing those same lambs who have been and will continue to be eaten even after the other herd has been wiped out from existence, leaping and dancing around for joy, "Finally! They can choose to have ear tags!"
