Please read the reblog-tags on Marywhal's post, because other POC are actually complaining about the racism thing. Like, jesus, we know the situation is shitty and a lot of people decided to be assholes to Travis for the most stupid details, but calling the McElroys out on their racism is not reaching for straws, specially after it's been brought up before and ignored.

I dont think I ever said that its grasping at straws, just that people liked to use criticisms of Graduation to be literally disgusting towards Travis. My point is that this conversation tends to lack nuance because a lot of people care more about canceling Travis than improving TAZ.

I think maybe that POC comment was out of line, but I really can't fix the version of the post thats getting way more traction than I wanted it to. Someone asked me in the tags if it was ok to rb and I probably should have said no but its lowkey too late now. I'm not trying to downplay ANY criticism, I definitely feel like that critique of the indigenous-coding of the centaurs is valid, its just frustrating to me that this entire fandom can get up in arms over something that the people it affects don't even care about. I understand the frustrations with them not addressing it, but please people. I'm frustrated too.

Overall, that post was meant to be bitter, venty, and was fueled by one take that vindicated me. I hope it didn't seem like I was going after anyone specific, but please. You are arguing with a bitter vague post about how I'm not having fun in this fandom anymore due to the poison I've seen spewed on Twitter, not an essay on racism in TAZ. That might seem hypocritical since that post also complains about nuance but im sick of being the person to analyze and bring nuance to the table. I'm sick of being the one asking every hot head in this fandom to calm down. Im frustrated because hatred towards one of my favorite creators made a piece of media I liked not fun anymore. If you want to talk nuance, I'm definitely all ears. I love media analysis. But that is not the post. Fuck.
