FUCK THE CHOW FAMILY

It's time y'all.

Let's talk about HOBIE & RACE

- It is not problematic to say that Hobie would display black solidarity by finding black women in specific attractive.

- It is not problematic to say that Hobie would possibly like a partner who could understand his experiences with racism.

- It is not problematic to say he would possibly like a partner who understands how to take care of his hair, or shares the same hair texture.

- It is not problematic to say that Hobie would find beauty in features specific to the black race - when we have been told those features are undesirable in every way for centuries.

We gotta talk about how Colorblindness is forced on Black Characters - Hobie in Specific

Y'all - it's time we have a VERY VERY overdue conversation about Hobie Brown and Race.

Because it is a necessary one.

Hobie Brown, The Black!Reader, & Representation -

aka Black people are not Colorblind - and neither is Hobie Brown -

[let Diane hop on the mic right quick Chile]

Stop acting like Black Fictional Characters would be colorblind.

Black people can't be colorblind, because our color is weaponized against us from birth. We HAVE to see race - because we have to protect ourselves and know our own history

So when we decide to make spaces specifically for us - spaces where black people and black women in specific can be desired and uplifted, I don't see why people have a problem with it.

Hobie Brown loves, yes. But he also lives in 1978. Racial segregation was outlawed in his country in 1965.

Hobie Brown loves, but he's also a black guy who grew up under racial segregation and racism. He's a black guy who fights cops.

The Writers made Spiderpunk - The Spiderperson who fights oppressive cops - black for a REASON.

The Writers chose to have a black guy save Miles for a REASON. To uplift black people.

Writers here on Tumblr made Black!Readers black for same reason.

If Black Lives Matter doesn't mean White Lives Don't Matter -

Then 'Hobie Brown finds black chicks especially attractive' DOESN'T mean 'white women are unattractive'. This isn't about y'all.

And even for the people that say Hobie would like ONLY black people - okay??? They can say that - it's a literal headcanon.

It's not true if you don't want it to be. You don't have to believe it.

But seeing Black people be protective of a black character, and making black content for other black fans - and then saying 'what - stop that. that's wrong. break this up so I can join'

BEFORE you question why they do it - NOT COOL.

That's like asking for more Captain America in Black Panther. Like ?????

That's like hearing a Riot Grrrl say 'All the women to the front!!' and going 'Uhh, all genders are equal, why can't the men stand in the front too?'

Like yes, all genders are equal. But also - This isn't about them. It's about representation.

Stop preaching equality when we're asking for representation.

Cause there are dozens, hundreds, of white characters who only have white on-screen romances.

And their fandoms do not write black!readers. They do not care enough to say 'oh the show isn't representing this, let us do it.'

The media nor the fandom represent black women. They are an afterthought, always.

And you never see posts for them like -

'Dean Winchester loves black women. Dean Winchester loves latinas -'

When it's a white character only dating white women, with xReaders that always imply whiteness, y'all never call for diversity. At all.

You wouldn't make this post for Miguel.

But when it's a black character and someone suggests they only date black women, or people begin to write xReaders that imply blackness instead of your default-

Suddenly you care about diversity.

Because the first time, you're not represented.

Because let's be honest. Let's be real. No one is writing Hobie x White!Reader. Barely anyone is writing Hobie x Latina!Reader.

It's the Black!Reader you have a problem with. Let's just say it.

Allow black people to have their space, without unfairly calling for 'diversity'.

It was this video that I saw about colourism that I wrote the piece called the "Diana Rossification of Black People.

The piece looks at colourism and the cultural pressures that shape how Black identity is seen, valued, and sometimes diluted in public life. It is not about policing personal relationships or individual choices, but about naming broader systems that influence perception, status, and belonging.

The idea of “Diana Rossification” is used here as a cultural shorthand for how certain versions of Blackness are often elevated as more “acceptable,” while others are pushed to the margins. These patterns show up across media, beauty standards, and social mobility.

The goal is not outrage, but clarity. How do these standards form? Who benefits from them? And what happens when a community is consistently encouraged to soften or reshape itself for acceptance?

These are difficult but necessary questions.

See the article below in the previous post. 👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿

FIFA World Cup American knockout Folarin Balogun has faced racism after receiving an inappropriate red card by Raphael Claus (referee) for accidentally injuring the ankle of a Bosnia player. The referee has continuously allowed Bosnian players to get aggressive with the USA players and the immature Bosnian coach, demonstrating favoritism for Bosnia. This is not the first time Black and poc American players (and Black + poc players in general!) suffered such during the FIFA World Cup 2026. Poc players themselves, particularly lighter skinned, have also been shown favoritism over Black and darker skinned players in this FIFA. There are plenty of Youtube videos covering this subject so I will turn my attention back to what happened in USA Vs Bosnia with Balogun's unfair red card.

For those familiar with my blog, you know I speak that Black people are never afforded nuance in debates whereas any other group is often given benefit of the doubt aka slap on the wrist or worse - justified and coddled.

Many racist individuals claim Balogun injured the Bosnian player and therefore deserved the red card. They emphasize "it does not matter of the intention", their own words. They venomously ignore people who either bring up intentional absolutely matters to determine the card (Balogun's was not meant on purpose and should be issued a yellow card at best) and those who bring up FIFA princess Messi who had a similar play with Algerian player Mandi, a very strong will there, and yet not only was no red card issued but they determined Messi hadn't done anything wrong to warrant a red card.

One player does a hard move (Messi) and is defended, another player does an involuntary move (Balogun) and is not.

Balogun is not allowed the same nuance Messi is. This event happens every day, every hour, every minute, to Black people and darker skinned poc. Nuance is only for the privileged and/or those seen as human.
