Don’t trust fandom adults who
- are waaaaaaaaaaay over-invested in protecting slashfic at the detriment of all others.
- call any kind of criticism of racism/misogyny/transmisogyny/ableism “PUBLIC SHAMING”
- argue that their white m/m slashfic is SUPER-IMPORTANT and all about ~queer representation~ when they’re straight themselves.
- don’t think fandom has a race problem
- don’t think fandom has a misogyny problem
- lived through racefail (please please google this shit, you should know) and triggerwarnings debates but still complain about ~SJWS~
- use the term SJW to begin with
- complain all the time about young people
- call mass-criticism of their racist tropes “dogpiling”
- pretend like mass-criticism is MORE dangerous to fandom than racism
- call criticism ‘an attack of free speech’ or ‘censorship’
- act like black women don’t exist in media
- complain about sjws taking entertainment too seriously
- complain about young fans not ‘knowing their history or betters’
- act like there’s no such thing as fandom racism, it’s just SENSITIVE PEOPLE
- write 13 chapter ‘essays’ on the ao3 that are just patronizing wrist-slaps to younger fans who call out their fucking racist bullshit
