These are a funny set of screenshots. So on one hand, we have a black person being rightfully upset at fandom racism. Then in the second (older) one, the same person is telling someone to ignore something that offends them.

So what gives this person the right to tell someone else how to feel about fiction that portrays them negatively? Considering they’ll point out something that targets a demographic that they’re apart of but still feel the need to finger wag other people for not ignoring bigotry aimed at *them*. This might come as a shock, but I am also black. Seeing a shitty fic like the one above would piss me off and I wouldn’t dare tell someone else -who would be in a similar situation- how to feel about terrible stuff written about them. Or to start mocking them for it. What the above behavior indicates is that their feelings are the only one that matter. At worst they intend to antagonize other marginalized groups through their writing and were trying to bully people into shutting up. I think this mentality happens when they think that there ARE certain groups of people its ok to mock, berate and treat as a fantasy.

To be frank I don’t think people should be able to hop online and act like bigoted assholes with zero consequence and allowing that is bending the knee to conservatives. Spaces like that will only make it unsafe for marginalized groups.
