Funnily enough these same people suddenly have absolutely no trouble comprehending the idea that how you EXCLUSIVELY repeatedly write your only characters from a certain demographic can say something about how you view that demographic irl...when it comes to characters who are queer/trans/female/neurodivergent/disabled like them.

post: the way you write certain characters can reveal certain things about yourself and the way you view the world. for example, the way you treat your characters of color can correlate to how you view Black and brown people in real life.

addition: nope! stop fandom police! kill the cop inside your head! stop demonizing dark fiction! acab includes fandom police!

#just saying:) be consistent if you want me to believe you that this isn't s lot of self-serving rationalization.#new rule if you bitch out every single nonwhite person who points out this stuff in yours/your faves work #then you now have to shut up permanently about how the women/queer ppl in fiction are written.#and what makes this more annoying is that there really are ppl who think anything with more moral or story complexity #than your average children's cartoon is Literally Apologia for Fascism but tbh at this point for every one of those ppl #there's at least 5 others who criticized something or at least didn't wholeheartedly praise it #and get lumped into that first group and trashed.#you don't have to AGREE with someone's critique of an individual piece of media or of someone else's take #to acknowledge when they're actually making points or putting in legit effort. Can we even agree on that baseline? Apparently not #I'm not a pro or anti shipper you do all kind of fucking suck in different ways.#I identify as a person with a job and a life. People are dying. Go do the dishes #stop misconstruing what ppl say just because you don't want to actually engage with it and you'd rather pretend #they are Literally Doing A 1984 Censorship and Cancel Culturing you personally.#or idk go fight the ACTUAL book banning going on in real life and free speech violations #that happen in your country all the damn time. But we know you won't do that even if you could #you're too busy screaming at ppl online for daring to say anything negative about a thing you've based your entire personality on #no matter how fair nuanced or correct their criticisms might be
