(Anonymous) 2015-03-20 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)As for me, I'm Mexican and hated this show for being dead dull and, despite claiming to be progressively feminist, STILL making everything about White Males. I didn't need much more motivation to stop watching, but seeing white fandom harass black MCU fans drove the final nail in the coffin.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-20 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)I think one of the things that makes internet (and particularly tumblr) discourse so frustrating is that every narrative is hopelessly fractured and everyone's perspective is inextricably singular such that, in just about every Internet dispute, both sides think that the other side is the one acting like dicks and causing an issue
so, like, in this case, someone who likes Agent Carter is going to claim that POC fans started shit by being intensely critical of the show, and you're going to claim that white fandom is harassing black MCU fans, and there's no way to adjudicate who's right. In fact, there's probably no one who's right, and both are accurate depictors of reality as viewed from a specific point of view
Basically the only solution is to end fandom

(Anonymous) 2015-03-20 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)When I asked if it would be okay for white women to boycott and hope for Black Panther to crash and burn if it had no or poor representation of women, I never got a response.
Funny how that works.

I mean, we know there's Dora Milaje in it and they... well lets just say they might not fly well.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-20 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)It's going to happen when the shows that are said to be representation of all women everywhere star a white woman. Cause yeah, there are going to be women who will feel left out of it when they already feel left out of the societal "universal experience for women".

(Anonymous) 2015-03-20 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)I find it REALLY hard to be sympathetic to black women/Latina women/Asian women in this particular case because they get SO MUCH MORE representation than I do. I basically am NEVER represented in media.
But I don't go and boycott shows with protagonists that are black women/Latina women/Asian women.
It just feels incredibly childish to me. I don't know. :/
Feels like another manifestation of the oppression olympics.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-21 12:01 am (UTC)(link)But I just...I'll admit that I'm horrifically jealous.
And so when I'm enjoying something and people who get more than I do have to dump on it, it gets under my skin.

Do any of those shows claim to actually be universally representative of women? I haven't heard it, though if they do, that's obnoxious and dumb.
no subject
(Anonymous) 2015-03-21 12:29 am (UTC)(link)I think part of the problem is that even if shows themselves don't claim it, others will claim it on their behalf.
For instance, I don't think Girls ever claimed to be anything other than a depiction of a few very specific people. But critics were certainly more than happy to claim it as a representation of the entire experience of a gender and / or generation.

Did anyone connected to the show ever claim that?
