Re: Tumblr's turning on Tamora Pierce

[darkmanifest]

I'm sorry, I think some wires are getting crossed here? Everything you just said is what I agree with, that service class roles aren't inherently shameful or useless. I definitely wasn't implying that groups of people being slotted into specific roles in real life is ever okay, so how dare minorities ever complain about wanting access to other roles. I meant that in fiction, a black character shouldn't have to be either upper-class or not in a period piece at all because being service-class is so icky, because that's bullshit.

NAYRT

I think the concern is more that having black characters in service-class can really easily play into a bunch of old racist memes, especially if those are the only roles they get. There's nothing wrong with service-class roles but I can understand why people are touchy given that used to be how film worked for black people.

Re: Tumblr's turning on Tamora Pierce

[darkmanifest]

Yeah, that's true. I guess I got my back up over the idea that the roles have to play into Magical Negro-type shit, instead of being as important and dynamic as the upper-class characters. But that's not something that happens with servant characters of any race in most stories.

Would that it were, would that it were.

ayrt

I think you're right about the wires crossed. I thought you were calling me out for implying service roles were bad, like I was being classist or something. Sorry, I've been spending too much time on tumblr I guess ):

Re: Tumblr's turning on Tamora Pierce

[darkmanifest]

Shit, yeah, I was calling out Pierce and her detractors on tumblr for implying that in the link somewhere in this thread, not you. I should have replied there instead of making it seem like I was coming after you, my bad.
