The amount of hate towards @ca-suffit is ridiculous. People in her inbox are mad that she wrote a letter (and I'm the one who provided the prompt, so you ought to be sending that hate towards me too--the fact that the post took off the way that it did should tell you that we were far from the only ones troubled by this issue) and threatening to expose her identity? And over what? Because they cannot stand she bring up issues of racism and anti-Blackness?
Writing letters has ALWAYS been a form of peaceful demonstration. It's not even radical. Nowhere in the letter did we even ask that AMC disinvite Maven. We asked that they keep our disappointment in mind when arranging their publicity events and when thinking about whi they invite to these things. Nowhere did we encourage any sort of bullying. But as usual, nothing pleases these people. Whether we are holding signs up in front of the studio or simply writing a letter, it's all the same to these people. This shit is all connected. The way they act towards this is the same way they act when we get KILLED.
And the fact that you all are making threats towards her as if you have access or power to do what you're threatening--you very likely don't, but I know it's the power you *wish* you had. You all would not hesitate to put Black people in very real danger just because we wanted to talk about the racism of a fandom of a show that *checks notes* TALKS ABOUT RACISM!
Pathetic.
