Sup Guys/Gals/Non-binary Pals!!!

I think it really says a lot when people say "fandom is supposed to be fun" and roll their eyes when racism is being brought up because they see it as a nothing burger. I think it really says a lot when the extremely valid complaints and concerns from fans of color are grouped with other unnecessary fandom drama and swept aside. I think it really says a lot when people think fans of color being angry are being aggressive and are ruining the fandom experience. I think it really says a lot that fans of color notice this pattern of behavior and are always told "it's not that deep."

I don't think Gooseworx should have been banned on Tumblr but the amount of people who are actively defending her or downplaying her part in the "negative" controversy and that she didn't even say anything about it until the fans started shit at actual conventions kinda just confirms that as long as you're a white queer person you can get away with ignorance or 'jokes' because you are queer. Being queer does not excuse you from things you may have done to hurt other minority groups. Does your voice actors/fans actions immediately reflect who you are as a person? No, but her silence until things went too far was eyebrow raising in the least.

white people need to be banned from southeast asia unless a local can vouch that they're normal like im sick of the holistic wellness island retreat authenticity new age mystic third eye opening faux kundalini tantric interpretive dance island gentrification sex tourism self discovery shit they're always doing posting videos in elephant print sarongs writhing to shitty edm in the jungle somewhere in thailand ive had enough

im realizing very fast that people do not in fact know that sometimes things in stories suck on purpose and it sucking is the point
