People like this embarrass me as a biracial black person..
You had a somewhat of a point until you pulled out the âWell Iâm [Insert marginalized group here] and I donât think this is bad.â Thatâs great Susan that doesnât mean your opinion matters or people in the same minority as you share it.
Donât say that nonsense thinking you can just speak for people like us because you identify with those things. And I looked at your profile, from the looks of it you are at least half black and also European.
And this is why monorical black people look at us mixed race black people and go âLemme see what your parents look likeâ or automatically go âNah their Mom gotta be white-â
BECAUSE A BUNCH OF MORONIC MIXED BLACK PEOPLE SAY SHIT LIKE THIS AND TRY TO USE THEIR ETHNICITY AS A WAY TO DEFEND IT.
AND THEN TURN AROUND AND ONLY IDENTIFY AS MIXED AND DISMISS THEIR BLACK SIDE AS IF ITS JUST SITTING THERE AND DOESNâT HAVE ANY DEEPER MEANING.
And donât even get me started on the whole âWell you people turn white, cis, straight, or male characters POC and genderbend them so youâre a hypocrite if youâre okay with that.â
âŠNo dumbass thatâs not how that shit works.
That HEAVILY relies on context, like for example in anime, the reason thereâs a lot of black edits of anime characters is because we barely see ourselves represented in a piece of media we love and we want to see what it would look like if we were in said media.
Sure thereâs a lot more black characters being made now but for many years we only got bits and pieces you had to find in hidden gems, and itâs still pretty much like that unfortunately.
And it doesnât help that when these black characters are actually made in canon people will bitch about their existence or claim theyâre not black and act like itâs the end of the fucking world when a black person is represented in anime.
So no honey, itâs not the fucking same in every scenario.
Also you didnât even bother to explain what exactly this self insert was doing or what her role was. I donât watch Heated Rivarly because it looks boring af to me, but all I can assume is this self insert was being shipped with one of the gay male characters and not the bi love interest.
Again I canât be sure because you didnât even bother to actually explain what was going on in that post.
But if that IS the case, then yes, itâs fucking weird that out of all these male characters this person couldâve chosen. She chooses the one NOT attracted to women. Instead of the one who IS attracted to women alongside being attracted to men.
So yeah it IS erasing minorities, being a minority and being okay with this doesnât automatically mean peopleâs complaints about this are invalid.
And I bet you think âBlackwashingâ is a thing too, itâs not, it doesnât exist and never will, because Whitewashing has a COMPLETELY different meaning than just simply making a non white character white.
But you wanna make white people feel good so you try to act like both are bad when in reality one doesnât even fucking exist.
So shut the fuck up when it comes to minority issues if youâre not even gonna acknowledge how problematic something can be when it does seem like a marginalized group is being erased for someoneâs weird fantasy.
And maybe if you want people to understand the full picture actually show us some fucking context instead of just telling us and not showing.
Also not all canon is sacred, weâre allowed to pick and choose which canon is sacred especially if said canon is GARBAGE. Or thereâs something in the canon that should be fixed or shouldâve been fixed because the writers fucked it up. Itâs not a one way street.
You didnât have to âFLEEâ a comment section you just got negative feedback because your point is dogshit. Thatâs what happens when people like you have to deal with otherâs opinions. And when their opinions are different from yours you immediately call them âAntisâ because they donât think self inserting yourself into a gay relationship while one of the guys is not into women at all is appropriate.
Nobody is anti shipping just because they donât like this one thing in shipping. We donât have to agree on EVERYTHING when it comes to shipping.
Literally anytime people get remotely criticized on anything like this you people are quick to go âThis is Censorshipâ or âYou canât tell the difference between fiction and reality.â
If anyone canât take criticism ITS YOU PEOPLE. You act like criticism of anything you like whether itâs problematic or not is bad and is censorship.
You donât even know what the fuck censorship means or what it is so shut the fuck up.
We can tell the fucking difference between fiction and reality dumbass, that doesnât mean weâre not allowed to criticize it or call people out when they make pedo and racist shit. Just because itâs fiction doesnât mean it makes it okay for you to make that shit in a positive light where it makes whatever problematic shit happening seem okay.
And even then nobody is saying you CANT make this stuff or you CANT ship this. Theyâre saying if youâre gonna make stupid weird shit then donât get angry when people criticize you for it and think youâre some sort of bigot or weirdo.
You say we canât tell the difference between fiction and reality, but you people canât tell the difference between censorship and criticism that includes opposing opinions.
Also you lost this whole argument when you mentioned the people youâre arguing with are teenagers. First off how do you know that??? You think because they have common sense that theyâre immature teenagers??? Second if they are kids why are you beefing with kids you KNOW donât know any better??? You know whatâs coming yet you willingly engaged in the argument.
And isnât Heated Rivalry for adults????? Maybe the better question is why are they watching a show thatâs not for teens and is explicitly for adults.
You people bitch and moan about kids in adult spaces but I guess thatâs only reserved for when you wanna hog the fandom of a show targeted towards kids huh?
YOU DIDNâT SHOW ANY ACTUAL EVIDENCE THAT THIS HAPPENED OR SHOW ANYTHING TO GIVE CONTEXT.
So how in the fuck is anyone outside of that IQ deficient echo chamber supposed to believe you?????
Of course all the comments will be on your side because they lack the ability to take others opposing opinions and criticisms without bitching about how theyâre being attacked when you literally knew what you were walking into.
âShip let Ship is basic Fandom Etiquette.â
Not when the ship and how itâs being portrayed is problematic and perpetuates a culture that enables stuff like bigotry or other stuff like Domestic violence or R*pe culture.
In this case, queer erasure.
With how quick you are to defend this nonsense and not provide any context whatsoever I can only assume that this is what happened.
âFandom Etiquetteâ is total bullshit because whenever a black person or a queer person that doesnât fit your standards pops up on the screen, that shit goes out the fucking window and people wanna be racist and homophobic when someone they donât like DARES to be part of a fandom.
Like you canât just expect to be allowed to say and do stupid shit without people calling you out on it. Criticism is important and just because itâs calling you out on obvious shit doesnât automatically make it bullying. Bullying would suggest theyâre saying derogatory things against the creator as a person or saying stuff that doesnât actually count as criticism or saying whatâs actually wrong with the post or content being talked about.
Not everyone is going to agree with you and not everyone is going to want to debate you on this nonsense.
Maybe if you followed your own âJust Scroll if you donât like it.â rhetoric, we wouldnât have this problem.
Stop being hypocritical and just fucking use your brain for once and understand not everyone is going to just accept something happening because itâs fiction.
Fiction does and can affect reality, just because you donât want to believe that doesnât mean itâs not true.
This is why a lot of non shippers in fandoms canât stand shippers period because of people like you. Because you have no fucking boundaries or lines to be crossed and you make us ALL look bad as shippers to non shippers.
And people like you HATE IT when people dare to see something for what it is but then you come out and say âItâs just fiction get over it.â
We know itâs fucking fiction, weâre allowed to criticize it, shut the fuck up.
How about next time you come with some fucking evidence before staying stupid shit because people disagreed with you in a TikTok comment section because you decided to be annoying and ignorant.
You people will just believe anything that comes out of peopleâs mouths as long as the person saying the nonsense is âPro-Shipâ or âPro-Ficâ.
