Re: Fandom Annoyances
(Anonymous) 2015-01-17 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)Full disclosure (so you know where my biases are): My dad is POC and my mom is white and I love my mother completely and wholeheartedly -- there is nothing I wouldn't do for her.
But I find fandom really frustrating because it seems like certain segments of fandom really like to shit on white women. And I get that white people are privileged and I often agree with some of the arguments made. But…it seems like white women get targeted WAY more harshly and WAY WAY more often than WHITE MEN. And there just seems to be a huge anger and hatred against white women.
Especially if there's POC female character -- then all hell breaks loose.
And even the SJWs don't defend the white female characters in that case.
And I find it really hard to swallow because I love my mother and seeing people constantly rag on white women as though white women are this monolithic group really gets to me.
And it wouldn't be so bad if they didn't prop up white men and talk about how hot they are and ship them with all the POC women, but they DO.
Sorry it's SJW-related, but it's just been bothering me for a really, really long time.

(Anonymous) 2015-01-17 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)Someone who ships POC female with white male will start hating on a white female character. And if you call them out on it you're racist.
That shipper will also likely have lots of hot white men on her blog while constantly saying awful things about white women (but have MUCH MUCH less targeting white men, which makes me doubt that they really care about social "justice" all that much…).
