Every time I hear a reputable museum tell me that most colonial women died in fires it puts me one step closer to homicide
If you hear of a character being romance/sex repulsed and your first thought is to try to debunk or ignore it, fuck you.
If you hear of a character being aro/ace and your first thought is to say it's not canon because it wasn't explicitly stated in the media they're in (even if it was confirmed by the creator), fuck you.
If you hear of a character being romance/sex repulsed and your first thought is to say that character is boring/lonely/sad/evil because of that, fuck you.
It's almost comical how fandom is largely filled with people who claim to support aro/aces until their favorite character happens to be aro/ace. Then it's every excuse under the sun to ignore that or better yet, claim it's not canon.
A lot of you don't give that same treatment to gay characters, so you might wanna figure out why you're so okay with doing it to these ones.
No because if I was Viggo I’d ALSO be fucking pissed off?? Like you’re this mastermind dragon hunter that is running possibly the largest operation in the entire of the archipelago that is family owned and ran with your older brother with hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of henchmen to do your dirty work and whenever people even MENTION your name they get scared and you’re this big strong powerful dude in his like mid forties but then a group of mother fucking barely adult stupid ass kids show up and successfully threaten your entire business model? Everything was fine yesterday but then this gaggle of incompetent fools show up with their stupid reptiles and suddenly you’re in a war??? AND the fucking malnourished stick insect of a leader they have has the AUDACITY to steal an ancient relic off of one of your predecessors ships??? AND THEN THEY BLOW UP YOUR ONLY MODE OF LONG FORM TRANSPORTATION??? AND THEN THEY RELEASE A BUNCH OF YOUR STOCK AND SINK THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF YOUR PROFITS BY SAVING THE DRAGONS YOU CAPTURED??? WHAT??? MOTHER FUCKER HAD EVERY SINGLE RIGHT TO START A WAR. HICCUP AND HIS STUPID ASS FRIENDS SHOWING UP AND JUST TANKING YOUR WHOLE ASS LIFE??? IMAGINE BEING A FUCKING KING PIN CRIMINAL EXPERT IN DRAGON TRADING AND YOU LOSE AN ENTIRE WAR TO A GLORIFIED WALKING EMBODIMENT OF AWKWARDNESS AND HIS 5 WEIRD LITTLE CREATURES HE TAKES AROUND WITH HIM. IMAGINE HAVING TO SIT THERE IN YOUR COOL ASS DRAGON HUNTER EVIL LAIRE AND PLAN HOW YOU WERE GONNA FIGHT OFF THE LITTLE RUNT OF BERK HEIR GUY THAT WON’T GIVE UP. IMAGINE?? FUCKING IMAGINE????
WHO WOULD NOT BE PISSED??? THAT MAN HAD A VERY EXTREMELY RATIONAL REACTION BECAUSE THAT WAS LITERALLY THE FOUNDATION OF HIS LIFE??? HIS ENTIRE CAREER GOT NOT JUST ENDED BUT FORCEFULLY FUCKING SLAMMED INTO A WALL OF CONCRETE AND CURB STOMPED BY A FUCKING STEAM ROLLER RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM. I mean sure yeah he put up the biggest fight of the century and did his whole ‘I’m gonna mess with your head until you go insane and just fuck off and leave me alone you stupid little annoying boy get a life,’ thing BUT STILL HICCUP WON THAT WAR AND THE AGE OF 18. EIGHT GOD DAMN TEEN.

This is mainly directed at the DC fandom especially writers and honestly, it applies to a lot of fandom spaces that do the same thing.
I’ve been noticing something for a while now, and I recently saw @prettylittleky call it “black reader baiting.” I love that term, but I also want to add another: POC character erasure.
To me, that means when someone writes for a show, fandom, or game and consistently leaves out characters of color like they just don’t exist. A good example is Mel Medarda from Arcane, who already gets a ridiculous amount of hate. And the reason I’m even writing this is because of Duke Thomas from DC Comics a literal member of the Batfamily.
You can also look at Cassandra Cain, or honestly any POC character. I see it over and over again: people will write Batfamily fics and include everyone everyone except Duke or Cassandra. And sometimes even Damian Wayne gets left out or written in a way that feels offensive.
And the excuses are always the same:
“I didn’t have time to write them.”
“I just didn’t include them.”
Or something equally weak.
But somehow, they have time to include characters like Stephanie Brown who isn’t even consistently written as part of the core Batfamily in those same stories. That’s where it starts to feel intentional, or at the very least, careless in a way that isn’t harmless.
As a Black woman and just as someone who genuinely loves these characters it’s frustrating. And I’ve stayed quiet before because the response is always the same:
“Why complain? Just write it yourself.”
That response is backhanded. Writing your own stories shouldn’t be the only solution to exclusion. If you’re choosing to write in a fandom with a diverse cast, then you should be capable of writing that diversity or at least acknowledging it. Otherwise, what are you really doing?
It’s especially weird when writers will have white characters “act Black” using AAVE, calling someone “ma,” borrowing from Black culture but won’t include actual Black characters in the story. I’ve seen it happen with characters like Jason Todd or Dick Grayson again and again. You can adopt the culture, but you can’t include the people?
That doesn’t sit right.
At the end of the day, this is simple:
Stop erasing POC characters from your narratives.
Being Black, being a reader, and being a woman already comes with enough barriers. There’s no reason fandom spaces places that are supposed to be creative and inclusive should keep reinforcing that same exclusion.
Do better.
