You know that Tricky Triangle game at Cracker Barrel? Yea. It's like acupuncture to Bill

so you agree? you only cater to people who look like yourself because you don’t feel the need to for others, instead of making things inclusive for all the readers in the fandom space?

“not everything is for you” so basically when writing an x reader, you (the author) are making it for the person reading it on the other side of the screen (x reader). idk if you knew that. if that’s not your intentions than make an oc x reader.

so yes, it IS for me and anyone else reading, no matter what color they are. so imagine if i came into the space, saying there’s no specific reader in mind, just to post a moodboard of a certain color/race of reader. that doesn’t feel very inclusive doesn’t it? doesn’t feel very “no specific reader in mind” to me!

and let me say, there’s nothing wrong with catering to a specific reader. i do it all the time, and i’m sure other authors that’re poc do too. it’s one thing to preface something as a xblack reader or xdesi reader (as another author mentioned too) or even xwhite reader, but it’s another thing to push a way your reader is portrayed and not say anything.

a lot of people find that uncomfortable. to be so stoked about a piece of writing just to see that the author isn’t thinking about the fact that someone who’s not white may read it. it’s something so simple that takes two seconds.

i don’t think that’s so difficult!!

and I took my TiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiME !
