Most of it is honestly just immaturity

[(Anonymous)]

Racism needs to be called out. The problem arises when people try to conflate fandom stupidity with racism or sexism or homophobia, etc. Here's the thing: fandom can be shitty and bratty, but this is pretty across the board. Female characters, gay characters, and POC DO get bashed, but bashing them in and of itself isn't racism/homophobia/sexism/ableism/etc.

You see this a lot in shipping. Writers of fanfic will take a character and write them as a complete jerk who is shrill and abusive. They rip the character to shreds just because he or she gets in the way of a preferred pairing. And it's immature as hell. But it's not an "ism" -- it's just immaturity. Case in point: how many fanfics rip apart Ron Weasley and have him depicted as an abusive, inconsiderate jerk so that Harry can sweep in and "save" Hermione? A LOT. And Ron is cis, able-bodied, heterosexual, white, and male. Doing this same thing to a female character or a POC is just people (again) being stupid.

Calling a female character a "whore" or a "slut"? Sexist statements
Saying a gay couple is gross? Homophobic statement
Saying a black woman "don't need no man"? Racist statement
Writing characters as stereotypes? Prejudicial

But racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. have MEANINGS.

It also doesn't help when some fans react to someone saying they don't like a female/POC/gay character by immediately yelling "Sexist/racist/homophobic" without listening to why people dislike the characters. Sometimes people dislike characters for reason not related to their sex/race/orientation.
