tiny fandom rant
thinking abt how being an Intellectual Brown woman isolates me from fandom experiences bc since i call out orientalism/racism against swana and my people in media that makes me too "anti" but the shit id be into and ship since i was 13 would land me 100ft deep into "proship" territory....
#u see my dilemma?#too proship for the antis and too anti for the proships#i think the entire proship vs anti discourse is stupid anyway just have basic fandom etiquette#of “dont like dont read”#but also feel free to openly criticize media that u consume too bc now media is flawless#also i hate that u can call out smth racist in media but then all the white gays jump you bc u pointed out a flaw in their favorite media#like SHUT UPPPPPP#anyway the islamic symbol appropriation in legend of Zelda ocarina of time for the gerudo sparked this#and also the gerudo being basically desert thieves dressed like bastardized belly dancers like im so tired#and then on twitter i remember seeing a huge thread calling out every instance of orientalism in gacha gaming#and non brown ppl stuck their asses in saying “who cares shut up anti these are good chara designs”#like i hate yall fandom mfs soooooo much u are all so allergic to basic critical thinking#the woes of being an intellectual are so heavy on my beautiful brain and body#also racism DOES show up in your “harmless” fictional media bc EVERY MEDIA CREATED IS INFLUENCED BY POLITICS#WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!!!!#like take a damn university social science class u stupid motherfucker
