I said this in a reblog but let me just make myself crystal fucking clear:
I want you to know that if you’ve ever sent or wanted to send anons with slurs, racist hate, transphobic hate, or otherwise bigoted nonsense, you could never be the reader character in any of my fics.
these characters would never want you. they would be disgusted by your bigotry, hate and cowardice, just like I am. I hope this sticks in your brain and the next time you try to read one of my fics a voice in the back of your head whispers that this isn't for you. they would never fall in love with you.
maybe you'll stop and think about your actions and the fallout from them for half a second and stop.
from the depths of my heart, fuck off.
and if you're feeling called out by any of the posts today, even if you haven't sent messages like this? please, please do some reading and reflecting. check out these resources @almostempty put together. start actively making this fandom better, not staying quiet and supporting a status quo that allows so many people to be hurt. all silence does is give comfort to racists and uphold that comfort as more valuable than fans of color. make your space inhospitable to racists. it's our responsibility to be proactive with this, as fans in this fandom, but especially as white people (as a white person myself).
