like...this seems like such a specific thing i have to wonder if you're actively looking for these people so you can purposely make them feel bad

No, it's more that I ship SOME black characters and I've noticed that, yeah, they're less popular.

But I HATE when there's complaining about it because then all you end up getting is an trickle of shitty fic,

Like, honestly, I'd rather just have a few well-written fics written by actual fans than people who are just guilted into doing it. They never do a good job.

That and I don't understand why they complain in the first place. They know WHY it happens. It's hardly a secret. But you can't exactly magically make people be attracted to these characters by berating them.

oh, okay. I believe you but I think the same way that they are not getting through to others, you arguing with them isn't going to get them to change their minds. but good luck.

I mean, I get that it's an asshole thing to do. But I just get so tired of beating about the bush.

Like, in MCU, if Sebastian Stan was playing Sam Wilson and Anthony Mackie was playing Bucky Barnes, I would not AT ALL be surprised if Steve/Sam was the more popular pairing.

I'd put fucking money down on it.

I'm not saying it's right, or fair or not racist. But it's the type of thing that you can't change by berating individual people or writing long rants to fandom.

Oh, I'm pretty sure they are, and getting off it, too.
