Sorry not sorry, but it’s just funny when people of color & those who identify as BIPOC in fandom spaces have been pointing out how racism runs rampant in online communities whilst getting jumped for it. And when they try to make space for themselves, the space that they’re entitled to btw, they get pushed out because white narratives are favored in fics or they’re harassed to the point where it makes it literally unsafe for them to share the same online spaces as their white “peers”.

Please don’t be purposefully obtuse or willfully ignorant because you don’t catch how something might come off as blatantly harmful and violent to marginalized people especially with historical context. Quit being stupid when it comes to racism & microaggressions when we’re living in a time where we have Nazis claiming power and supporting eugenics movements threatening to exterminate anyone who is not considered an able bodied pure blood cis white man. And it’s ironic that some of y’all be moving like feds in a community that was created to support a latino man of color who doesn’t meet white Eurocentric beauty standards and comes from a family of political refugees, but that’s somehow always missed. Y’all constantly talk about community and inclusion particularly in this fandom/community, just to end up doing shit that harms the very thing y’all be preaching about and it’s worse when people are so fucking passive about it. Usually that’s because your mutuals that are being threatened in such a way do you a favor by suffering in silence, cause when they post the anon hate they do get, they get told to just block and move on and that within itself is a privilege whether you guys realize it or not.

And I don’t care about being harsh in my approach cause we don’t have the time to be coddling people on how not to spread or do “racist” shit on accident for aesthetics even in fanfic, especially as an adult. Y’all don’t give the same grace to your mutuals who are getting slurs and threats thrown in their fucking inbox repeatedly to the point where they hate even coming on here because of the bullshit they have to deal with on a daily basis from 4chan incel wannabe losers who use people’s identities as a way to attack them. Get it together. Do better. All of you.

I hate going here to say takes that if I said anywhere else I’d be blown up on sight and this place has become a giant word salad anyways but yall I need to be so fucking fr about something: I genuinely do not understand the mindset of “you should try to get into things you know you aren’t gonna like” even though I KNOW this is gonna make me come off as picky but let me COOK RQ.

This mindset isn’t harmful or anything, I have no issue with people who do follow this themselves, what I have a problem with is when people enforce this onto others and not understand their personal preferences. I saw someone argue this is how you build taste and it’s true but also like- what if the person taste has already been defined cause growing up they tried lots of different media so they found out what they do and don’t like? So enforcing this makes it redundant if they simply KNOW what they’re into.

But also my bigger problem with this whole thing is when people INSISTS you finish a media you gave a chance and still didn’t like it so you drop it because either “it gets better” or people really think you need to go through something you don’t like in full and I’m sorry bro that’s genuinely fucking stupid. Forcing yourself to get through a media is just going to make you dislike it more where as dropping it puts you on decent terms with it-maybe one day you WILL want to go back, but if you don’t that’s okay-but also do yall just- not realize people don’t have the time for that shit? Like they can’t be bothered to consume media they don’t click with because of their personal lives and consuming media is the way they unwind? Cause that’s another big hole in this logic.

I really only personally would do this with something if it’s like I didn’t realize I liked it until I got far in but I’m so far in I should finish it or the media is short enough to justify me consuming it even if I won’t like it-i.e. a game that takes 3-5 hours to beat, a anime that is 13 eps or less, etc-or at the very least I’m consuming media with friends so even if I don’t like it I still have fun but otherwise? Why the fuck should I watch or play something I’m going to hate and waste time on that, I don’t understand otherwise.

Anything You Like - the soulmate theology part

*

“They’re a gift from God,” Claudine says confidently. “He sends them to us so we know where to find the good people in the world. The ones who are meant for us, for us to love and learn from. That’s why so many parents will mark their children.” 

“That’s stupid,” says Mal, who is eight years old, and has exactly two soulmarks, one from her mother and one from her future-henchman in training, Jafar’s son. “My mom’s the worst of the worst. She’d never let some silly god tell her who to mark.” 

Claudine glares at Mal from behind her thick glasses. The effect is a bit like being glared at by an especially nervous monkey, one of the creepy ones with huge eyes who sometimes come on TV in the hours-long marathons they get of the stupidest children’s shows imaginable. 

With all of the fury in her six-year-old body, Claudine sticks her tongue out at Mal. “Then you’re stupid, and so’s your mom!” 

“My mom could crush you dad like a bug.” Mal says carelessly. “And probably his god too, if he’s wasting his time giving people soulmarks. My dad’s the most powerful god on the island, and he doesn’t have any soulmarks.” 

“That’s because nobody loves him!” Claudine says, full of confidence in her own correctness in a way that only children can be. Mal would punch her teeth in, if she thought she could get away with it. “If God made somebody to care about your dad, he’d have found them by now and you wouldn’t even be here.” 

“Take it back!” 

“No!” 

“Take it back right now or I’m gonna hit you!” Mal shouts, clenching her hands into fists so tight that she can feel the tiny points of her nails start to cut into her palms. “My dad’s the most powerful god on the isle and he’s gonna hurt you if you don’t take it back!” 

Claudine frowns, screwing up her whole face. “My God can protect me,” she says, but they’re a shadow of doubt to her words now, and Mal knows that she can win this. “He’s the most powerful of all time, not just here.” 

Mal, with the honing instincts of a child who has never been told to shut up, goes for blood. 

“Then why don’t you have a soulmark? If your god is so powerful and cool and loves you so much, why didn’t he make anyone who loves you back?” 

“I—“ Claudine sputters, face crumpling behind her glasses. “I— I, um, I’m waiting. For the right person.” 

Mal frowns. She’s more evil when she pretends to care about people first, that’s what her mom says. “I thought your god was supposed to show you the right person. If he didn’t give you anyone, I think it means you’re just an unlovable freak.” 

“You’re mean,” Claudine whispers, her face damp behind the shield of her glasses. “I’m gonna find my person someday, and you’re never gonna get any more soulmarks because you’re mean and  God hates you.” 

Mal laughs. “There’s no god on the island, stupid. Your dad just lies to you because he doesn’t want anyone to know that you’re a freak.” 

Claudine sniffles. “You’re mean and that’s worse.” 

Mal takes a step back. Crying is disgusting and only for babies, and at eight years old, she’s very much not a baby, and being seen with someone who’s crying could hurt her burgeoning schoolyard reputation. Making someone cry because you hit them is one thing, but standing next to someone who’s crying is a sign of weakness, and there’s no space in Mal’s world for acting weak. 

“Says who?” she demands, from a safe distance away. Bullying distance is further than comforting distance, and it should be clear enough to any onlookers which one she’s standing at. 

“My— my dad,” Claudine manages, sucking in an enormous snotty breath. “And all his followers. Being mean is the worst thing ever, that’s what they said.” 

Mal laughs wickedly. Or at least, close to wickedly. She’s still practicing her Evil Laughs. “Well, my mom says that being mean is how you get ahead in the world. And my mom’s the ruler of the isle, and yours is dead, so I’m pretty sure I know better than you.”
