Re: Am I an asshole? a thread
(Anonymous) 2015-06-21 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)Let's not pretend we're ignorant as to why fandom as a whole is less invested in black characters: they're less attracted to them.
Characters considered hot get more fic, no matter what race or gender or sexual orientation. Surprise! It's been like that in every fandom forever.
Writing long posts about how racist fandom is isn't going to make black characters more popular. All it's going to accomplish is getting people who feel guilty to make half-hearted contributions.
Like, I agree that fandom marginalizes black characters. But I think they're way of tackling it is SO ineffective. (And makes it more difficult for me to find quality fic of the pairings I do like).
