Thinking about the frequent iwtv and wwdits comparisons but esp in the context of the past actions of certain wwdits cast members and just. Really chewing on that
#I mean my insight on all that is limited for obvious reasons#but the biggest reason I haven’t gotten back into wwdits since s3 really does go back to all that#not just the actual offenses but like. witnessing the fandom’s reaction to it#like I remember when that discussion was still first gaining traction#and ofc i felt like it was important to talk about#and on one hand you had fans of color and esp black fans finding out about it in real time and just. having to deal with that massive#disappointment#very much a ‘fuck not AGAIN’ moment#felt especially awful when people would find out for the first time from my posting about it. bc it sucks learning something like that from#a tumblr post just sort of always right#and like. of course you need to know if something like that happens.m#and on the other hand it was like. I felt like a lot of other white fans were either a. ignoring it or b. making it their whole personality#in a way that felt very performative#and like. not that I’m Above all that bc I know I still have to watch myself right#but it was like. tags and tags and tags about how upset and disgusted and horrified they were just SHOCKED shocked I tell you#and god it just felt weird.#and then everybody would ofc appear to forget about it all for a couple months until it inevitably came back up and people were Shocked and#Horrified again#anyway. while it’s not perfect I am glad that iwtv centers black perspectives more to at least a degree#it can be limited just bc Louis and Claudia’s world is limited. but still what a difference#like in some ways I am just glad black fans get to have that#I’m also honestly wary of my own parasocial attachment to the cast#bc they’re SO good and wonderful and I find myself reminding myself they’re just people#maybe the fact that none of them did comedy in the 2000s is itself a green flag though. lmao#what a mess that whole thing was. anyway#no point to this really I’m just Thinking#iwtv tv#wwdits
