This is hilarious to me because Gurathin is possibly the last person in the world Murderbot would want to learn this from. No one is allowed to think it's hot but Gurathin is especially Not Allowed
Gurathin leaning in the doorway of the room Murderbot is in, Ratthi clearly visible making frantic NO DON’T gestures behind him, in a tone of both boredom and intellectual curiosity: hey we’ve been discussing it and you’re attractive by human standards. how do you feel about this
murderbot: i am either going to shut down or kill you and you have three seconds to start running before i decide
[ID: tags saying, "murderbot is hot and its humans really think someone should let it know but no one knows how to do that. actually gurathin would he's a shit stirrer at heart. #murderbot" /end ID]
“What are you two fighting about now?“
ART said, I made SecUnit’s uniform too nice.
Amena nodded. “You do look great.”
I’m not even going to dignify that with a reaction.
As I said, quietly writing in my notepad, I was approached by a white male attendee. He did not ask if it was a good time to approach me; he did not seem to care that I was obviously working. He just sat next to me and said, "oh good, now I can talk to you. I have a question." The man did not wait for my consent to the conversation. He just dove in.
He described a few of the political activism groups he's involved in, mostly around environmentalism. ...And he was sure that, just like every other event he had attended, it would be populated exclusively with white people. He would love to see more people of color at these events, he said, but they were nowhere to be found. "Why," he asked me in conclusion, "don't people of color care more about important political issues?"
Many white men see a political landscape dominated by white men and think it is that way because white men are just more politically minded. They think that the absence of women and people of color from powerful rooms is due to self-selection.
They do not question how unwelcoming the room they have built might be. They do not question whether or not the discussions they are having in that room are inclusive and generate productive discussions for women and people of color. They don't ask if there are other, equally important conversations happening in other rooms. And they don't even bother to ask if anyone unlocked the door.
They look at the room and say that women and people of color aren't in it because women and people of color aren't interested. Then they cite this supposed disinterest as proof that women and people of color are too unqualified to even be invited in."
Chapter 6- Mediocre, Ijeoma Oluo
For a Tumblr-specific example, this is why if you don't "see" Black people in your fandom spaces, there's a reason for that. It usually means the space is unwelcome at best, actively hostile at worst. You just don't perceive it bc it doesn't directly affect your entertainment.
“The day after Columbine, I was interviewed for the Tom Brokaw news program. The reporter had been assigned a theory and was seeking sound bites to support it. “Wouldn’t you say,” she asked, “that killings like this are influenced by violent movies?” No, I said, I wouldn’t say that. “But what about Basketball Diaries?” she asked. “Doesn’t that have a scene of a boy walking into a school with a machine gun?” The obscure 1995 Leonardo Di Caprio movie did indeed have a brief fantasy scene of that nature, I said, but the movie failed at the box office (it grossed only $2.5 million), and it’s unlikely the Columbine killers saw it. The reporter looked disappointed, so I offered her my theory. “Events like this,” I said, “if they are influenced by anything, are influenced by news programs like your own. When an unbalanced kid walks into a school and starts shooting, it becomes a major media event. Cable news drops ordinary programming and goes around the clock with it. The story is assigned a logo and a theme song; these two kids were packaged as the Trench Coat Mafia. The message is clear to other disturbed kids around the country: If I shoot up my school, I can be famous. The TV will talk about nothing else but me. Experts will try to figure out what I was thinking. The kids and teachers at school will see they shouldn’t have messed with me. I’ll go out in a blaze of glory.” In short, I said, events like Columbine are influenced far less by violent movies than by CNN, the NBC Nightly News and all the other news media, who glorify the killers in the guise of “explaining” them. I commended the policy at the Sun-Times, where our editor said the paper would no longer feature school killings on Page 1. The reporter thanked me and turned off the camera. Of course the interview was never used. They found plenty of talking heads to condemn violent movies, and everybody was happy.”
