I found this post last night after doing my own research about racism towards Bipoc in Fandoms.
80 examples and this is just the tip of the iceberg.
This is more than just reblogging or signal boosting posts or changing our moodboards, we (as white people) have to prove ourselves to be a safe space for our peers and friends here and make it the unsafest space possible for racists and bigots, it's not just something you just get to decide.
It's about recognizing when your own actions could be seen as performative allyship or virtue signaling, don't always rely on other people to call you out and if they do, please don't double down, listen and learn, especially to Bipoc users.
Again this isn't something to just move on from until the next time someone we care about is receiving hate, just because we don't always see it doesn't mean it isn't constantly happening, because it is.
That is the very stark reality of it, that users are receiving anon hate and deleting it for fear of making waves or receiving more hate on top of, we saw it happen yesterday to Kat, Dev and Vetty.
But we don't always see it and that is what we have to come to terms with here.
This is a constant moving wheel that we all have to keep turning because if even one person with hatred in their heart thinks your blog is a safe space to allow for it, the rest will trickle in behind them.
Reading fics will wait, this will not.
Imagine all these being a possibility when you log into your 'escape'
Consider the real world now as it is when you think about this statement. The world as it has been for a very long time for Bipoc, actually.
Please take some time out of your day to do your own research, not just on anti racism in Fandoms, but as a whole.
