There is a decent sized part of me that's disappointed that the new hermits aren't girls or creators that are a little more outside the already existing collab groups but. On the other hand. Gem had to turn off comments recently for one of the eps in her traffic debut season just a couple months ago and i was white knuckling it thinking about how much harassment any smaller creator, especially a marginalized one, would face, so in some ways, it's a bit of a relief

#the thing is... idk when you solely focus your attention of diversifying these white nerd institutions...#you end up bringing marginalized people into these white spaces and hanging them out to dry with the racist and misogynist fans #and if you arent equipped to stand up for them and risk alienating your audience... then you shouldn't subject those creators to that imo #don't get me wrong... large corperations should be doing better #but. i feel like i've seen all-white collectives run into this problem before bc they never had the chance to weed out racist fans before #and now they have a token who has to deal with all their shit #and if you're guilty that you only have white faves. it truly is on you to fix that #i never liked the 'breadt*be so white' thing bc it seemed like white fans using creators of colors as props to fight with other white fans #and that sucks
