yeah, fandom racism and especially antiblackness is really rampant, and I'm disappointed but not surprised to see it's happening again.

I at least hope the creator(s)? will actually take a hard stance against the antiblackness of the fandom and stand with their actors. The Star Wars executives threw John Boyega under the bus with their pandering to the most racist parts of the fandom and butchering his character.

Hey Backrooms fandom? This is your cue to stop being antiblack racists and actually care about the Black main character, not just white characters. You "just naturally" feel more attachment to the white character?

That's the white supremacy talking.

You have a moral obligation to kill it.

You're not "just having fun", you're not just "a harmless individual'.

You are part of a collective system of bigotry, and you are upholding it.

If you don't want to be part of upholding white supremacy, you must take an active part in dismantling it in every part of life. No matter where you find white supremacy, you must challenge it with every fiber of your being. It is your moral obligation if you think you're someone who's "not racist" or "doesn't see color", or even call yourself "anti-racist".

What you think of or call yourself is not what matters — what matters is what you do.

Are you demonstrating basic interest and care for a Black main character, or are you fawning over a background white character?

You are not just an indivdual having fun. You are upholding a system of antiblackness and white supremacy.

You need to do better.

Every single one of you, individually.

Self advertising & consistency in referencing your creations in posts! (My honest opinion btw)

Could be illustrations, Pinterest-eque boards, writing prompts, whatever you have as a means of creating the world/characters.

I make it sound easy, but it’s primarily because it is! For me? I genuinely AM interested in my own AUs and OCs. From how I see it, you have to be the one hyping up your own characters and AUs before others start to follow suit.

For an example, my Casper AU: Casper’s Spectral Spectacle. I do post it elsewhere, with the mild exception of Twitter/X. Stuff on that site doesn’t have much reach and although disappointing & discouraging at first, other sites can have a different reaction. Here on Tumblr and TikTok, you have a much greater chance of people getting interested in your concepts. The more interested & excited you are of it, the more people are going to want to engage.

Wondering what makes it so interesting.

I really hope we'll get news for a new game soon! Otherwise I'll miss animal crossing so much, it really is my comfort game 🥹

Oh, thank you so much! :D Well, this blog is mainly dedicated to the best duck, although there are things that I like as well as other things that my friends follow. Otherwise, if you are still interested, feel free to check out my drawings that I keep on my art blog: https://ducktoonsfanart.tumblr.com/

Yep! Like, why would you lie about that?? Does he think that's somehow gonna make anyone want to hire him again, when he's lying this blatant about things that, you know, people who want to make TV shows care about?

It's just baffling.

Hopefully someone who's not just another misogynistic, racist cis white guy will be hired to run the show next. Someone who actually knows how to write, how to plan ahead, and not abuse their actors and other people on set.

The fact that anyone let him come back after finding out about all the sexual harassment going on in his first era is just despicable.

The amount of antiblack jokes he put in this era are also unforgivable.

someone else asked in the notes of the post so I'll copy and paste my response here:

paraphrased question "is it because "gooner" is from 4chan?"

there's actually multiple terms people have come up with over the years, I just don't keep specific track of them because I don't categorize ships like that.

Devils advocate isn't necessary, since the people doing this are almost always the same people misgendering the nonbinary characters in question (in this case Kris deltarune). Ignorance isn't an excuse, cuz if they really cared they'd Google it. I know of at least 3 terms, and they're somewhere on my blog, probably easy to find with basic search results but I don't have my laptop on at the moment.

They're using yuri and yaoi to describe a ship with a nonbinary character cuz they view that nonbinary character as either a man or a woman depending on how they ship them, cuz fandom at large only supports straight (in this case meaning f/m or gay (m/m and rarely f/f) ships in particular, and doesn't want to actually meaningfully engage in ships with nonbinary people, whether that's x/m, x/f, or gods forbid x/x.

There's also something to be said about the fact that people are only latching onto these terms and these terms only, when it could just be called a Queer relationship, or literally any other option.

Hell. People could just combine yuri and yaoi if they're too lazy to look up the non-binary equivalents. Yuraoi and Yaouri are right there. The most common ship name formula and people hate nonbinary people so much they won't even bother with it.
