And speaking about "kink is (only for) white (people)"... Miguel O'hara fandom (for the love of me I can't say ATSV fandom because everything is about Miguel).

A few days ago some on Instagram started calling out/cancelling out a bunch of Miguel O'hara fanartists for the henious, deplorable crimes of:

Drawing selfcest, "TWICE!"

Drawing Miguel with common BDSM shit on (a collar).

Drawing Miguel with common BDSM shit on (a muzzle).

Supporting rape-fantasy and being a non-sharing selfshipper (???????????????)

Having an age-gap in the selfship ("it's giving Lore Olympus Hades and Persephone").

As you can see, your Honor, really awful awful awful not good very bad crimes! The person calling out seven artists in total is arguing that... BDSM and those other kinks are dehumanizing Miguel (making him 'seen as an animal' and 'a slave') because invisible 'poc and indigenous people' are saying that this treatment of a fictional character is bad. Basically: don't have kinks, don't give fictional POCs kink, that's fucking white.

Miguel is Mexican (half Mexican) and, in the movie, he's indeed what you USians call "POC". This was a change they made for the movie, since his version in the comics is more (in looks) Irish (and we all now Irish can't be POC imirite fellas [this is sarcasm]). Miguel is not, however, indigenous. He is not Wixarica, he's not Kiliwa, he's no Cochimí, he's not Paipai, not Cucapá, not Kumiai, not Ixil, nit Kanjobal, not Quiché, not Kekchi, not Kikapu, not Jacalteco, not Mame, not Tojolabal, not Ckchiquel, not Motozintleco, not Tzeltal, not Lacandón, not Zoque, not Tsotsil, not Chol, not Chuj. Neither is he Rarámuri, nor Pima, nor Chichimeca, nor Amuzgo, nor Tlapaneco, nor Mixteco, nor Otomí, nor Náhuatl, nor Mazahua, nor Ocuitleco, nor Matlatzinca, nor Cora, nor Triqui, nor Maya, nor Mazateco, nor Zapoteco, nor Huave, nor Chatino, nor Chontal, nor Chocho, nor Tacuate, nor Chinanteco, nor Tének, nor Pame, nor Yaqui, nor Guarijío, nor Seri, nor Mayo, nor Pápago. So what supposed 'indigenous people' are 'talking about the dehumanization those artists do to' Miguel O'hara when Random Artist give him a BDSM kink?

You (general you) all who pretend to talk ABOVE the indigenous people IN Mexico are more fucking racist than a Who-Knows-What-"Race" Instagram artist giving Miguel a collar in like, a pair of fanarts. You all (general, "anti-only" you) who think POCs can't have kink or sexuality are, to the fucking infinity and beyond, racists.

The Tzeltal Mayan ethnomedical syndrome cha’lam tsots and the Mixe mäjts baajy represent regional variations of “second-hair” illness found in several Mesoamerican cultures. Glossed “second hair” or “two hairs,” cha’lam tsots is a complex Tzeltal Mayan ethnomedical syndrome identified by the presence of short, spiny hairs growing close to the scalp, under the normal layer of hair. It is a serious, potentially fatal condition that is believed by the Tzeltal to be caused by physical trauma to individuals, mostly children. Hair loss, diarrhea, fever, edema, loss of appetite, and general debility are primary elements of cha’lam tsots.

An illness nearly identical to cha’lam tsots has been reported among the Mixe of Oaxaca, Mexico. The Mixe mäjts baajy, or “two head hairs,” primarily afflicts infants and is marked by diarrhea, anemia, a swollen body, puffed cheeks, and “numerous, fine shining ahirs, or ‘small spines,’ growing on the head.” As with the Tzeltal Mayan cha’lam tsots, mäjts baajy is considered a serious and potentially fatal illness, primarily affecting children. Similar “second-hair” illnesses have also been identified among the Cakchiquel Maya of Guatemala and the Jacaltecos and Motozintelcos of the Guatemala-Mexico border region. In all cultures, the core ethnomedical description of the illnesses, its primary sufferers, prognosis, and modes of treatment are nearly identical.

“Somos mexicanas” Y “Aquí estamos y somos 68”

Andrea Castillo Reyes

 La importancia del rostro de 68 mujeres indígenas que representan a las etnias vigentes en nuestro país, siendo uno de los países con mayor pluriculturalidad; con diversas historias que se llevan escritas en el cuerpo (en este caso el rostro). Mujeres que están en una doble resistencia en todos los sentidos y están siendo olvidadas.

De acuerdo con la información proporcionada por el Sistema de Información Cultural de la Secretaría de Cultura de nuestro país, éstos son los 68 pueblos indígenas que viven en la República Mexicana:

Kiliwa, Paipai, Kumiai, Cochimí, Cucapá, Jacalteco ,Mame, Tojolabal, Cakchiquel, Motozintleco, Lacandón, Tzelta,l Zoque, Tsotsil, Chol Chuj, Chichimeca, Jonaz Mazahua, Ocuitleco, Matlatzinca, Mazateco, Zapoteco, Triqu,i Huave, Chatino, Zapoteco, Vallista, Zapoteco de Ixtlan,, Chontal de Oaxaca, Zapoteco sureño, Ixcateco, Chocho, Mixe Tacuate, Cuicateco, Chinanteco, Mixteco de la Costa, Mixteco Zona Mazateca, Totonaca, Popoluca, Ixil Kanjobal, Quiché, Kekchi, Tarahumara, Tepehuan del norte, Pima Amuzgo, Tlapaneco, Mixteco, Mixteca Alta, Mixteco, Purépecha, Mixteco Mixteca Baja, Popoloca, Guarijío, Yaqui, Seri, Mayo, Pápago, Maya, Kikapu, Tepehuan del sur, Náhuatl, Otomí, Cora, Huichol, Huasteco, Pame, Chontal de Tabasco.

En la primera obra “Somos mexicanas”: los rostros se encuentran en las diferentes regiones donde existen estás etnias, generando un mapa de la república mexicana recalando que ellas forman parte de ésta. Rostros resaltando miradas y gestos, siendo una mirada honesta y que nos remiten contextos.

Es retomada la idea de los caligramas, pero en vez de palabras o frases; el rostro de éstas 68 mujeres indígenas, generando una imagen.

En la segunda pieza “Aquí estamos y somos 68”: una imagen rectangular, siendo la mujer indígena el rostro de estas etnias, una imagen con la cara en alto, una diversidad de:  tes, vestimenta, colores, texturas, miradas, experiencias, edades etc; como son todas estas culturas y están conectadas en muchos aspectos.

Para mi es importante visibilizar estos rostros de mujeres que constantemente se han ido olvidado y hasta desaparecido; pero que son parte fundamental de un legado cultural y de equilibrio en este planeta.
