HELLO TUMBLR PLEASE HOLD STILL FOR HEAD PAT.

Happy Black Fae Day!

I did this as part of a collaboration post with many other wonderful black creatives over on IG. My theme was Warrior Fairy.

This is in part due to climate change messing up the balance of the dry and rainy seasons. The floods have a ripple effect and are also causing landslides and other disasters.

People have died, and will continue to do so. Here are some news Articles: The Guardian RFI The Sun Nigeria PM News Nigeria Here are some charities you can donate to to help: Nigeria: The Borgen Project Ghana: NADMO Côte d'ivoire: Disaster Relief

Togo and Benin are also severely affected. Please consider donating if you’re able or helping spread the word. I have a slightly longer post on my blog that I'll be updating if anyone needs more information.

"Trans people existing does literally nothing negative to your lives you crybaby wimps.

Your life is getting harder and costlier because of the oligarchs, not trans people"

What is the best course of action when a creator or game or show or book says something or does something racist? Or has some characters or themes that are suspect? There are times when the answer is super clear, when creators are past the point of forgiveness. But what about single racist acts? When should apologies be taken seriously? What should I do if people are split online about the decision? What is the best way to get as many available opinions as I can? When is it time to press eject on the entire series? How can I best support Black people still within the fandom?

I promise I’m not asking you to hold my hand or to give me permission, I just want a basis. A general guide. Sometimes I feel frozen, because I don’t know what the best course of action is.

Well let me ask you some questions in response that might help put your panic in context:

1) why is "a single racist act" more acceptable? Why is the amount of times one has been antiblack racist the standard, and not also the impact, as well as the perpetrator's response to that single act?

2) what is YOUR standard for "too far"? That is, what is YOUR line for allowing antiblackness to slide until it is "too bad"?

3) Are you okay that the victims of said antiblackness who have a different standard of "too far" will judge you accordingly?

4) Here's what Black fans consider to be a good apology. How often have you accepted less than? Are you okay with continuing to do that for the sake of entertainment?

5) What makes you think YOU- if you are not a target of that racism- have the right to make that call of what's an "acceptable" apology?

ABSOLUTE CINEMA.
