In 2019, after trainee IAS officers reported the use of caste-identifying wristbands in government schools, the Tamil Nadu directorate of school Education issued a circular directing officials to crack down on the practice. Within days, then minister for school education, K A Sengottaiyan of the AIADMK revoked the circular, publicly denying the existence of such markers. “The main groups that have to be targeted to address the root of caste feeling are students, teachers and parents,” said Jeyarani. “But no political party wants to participate in this work.” In public remarks, Assembly Speaker and Radhapuram MLA Appavu of the DMK dismissed caste-related clashes among students as “minor disputes,” saying they should be handled by school authorities. These comments were criticised by Justice Chandru, whose committee found widespread casteist behaviour among school teachers and principals across the state. The report also noted that, in many cases, parents of students involved in caste-based violence did not condemn the attacks. There is also a systemic failure to understand caste violence more broadly. In a 2024 commentary published in EPW on why caste atrocities in southern Tamil Nadu continue unabated, Manikumar, a history professor from Tirunelveli, pointed out how judicial commissions such as the Ramamurthy Commission and the Justice S Mohan Commission “have approached the issue of caste conflicts from a legal angle, thereby treating each incident of caste violence as a law-and-order problem.” In the 1997 Melavalavu massacre, a Dalit panchayat president was beheaded. Both DMK and AIADMK downplayed the seriousness of the crime by not pursuing acquittals of some of the prime accused or by facilitating early release of those convicted. Such actions have created hostility against Dalit leaders. To this day, Dalit panchayat leaders still face resistance when asserting basic authority, and are even denied chairs to sit on during meetings. There have been instances of the cadre of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), which is in alliance with the ruling DMK, being denied entry in dominant caste neighbourhoods. During the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, VCK flags were reportedly excluded from events in some dominant caste localities.

I bet Timmy Turner could’ve easily prevented his secret about having fairies from ever getting out by just wishing that Cosmo and Wanda would always appear invisible to the naked eye of other humans, and wishing that no one could hear him if he was directly addressing them

I’m generally wary of any YouTube videos that discuss published reylo fanfiction (and the ship in general) because of how often people use mockery of it to get clicks and attention on any platform. Deriding the reylo shipping base is a pretty straightforward way to get clicks, which makes it very pleasant to see videos that thoughtfully engage with the fandom and don’t reach for low hanging fruit.

However, it’s always double edged sword because even if the creator is respectful and willing to engage, you can be assured that the commenters will do the opposite of that. They’ll use the typical talking points from 2016, misremember what happened in the films, spread misinformation etc. But I can at least be satisfied that there are some YouTubers out there who can examine the fandom without defaulting to cheap jokes.
