(Anonymous) 2016-01-10 03:42 am (UTC)(link)And if people want to take the effort to articulate that, in some detail, at the start of their fic, that would go at least a little bit of the way towards ameliorating the issue. Because when you play with something toxic in public, and encourage others to join in, the least you can do is make the effort to thoroughly remind people of what it is and what it isn't. People will think they don't need this. But as a culture we do need it, because as a culture we are very evidently susceptible to these concepts.
As I said before: it's not about people "drinking the Kool Aid," it's about what's in the water.
all hateful miss-characterizations are done on purpose
This is no longer particularly relevant to the topic being discussed, but it must be said that this is one hell of a generalization. Do you really believe that all racist people know they're racist and are just pretending to believe racist things about others? If only it were so simple. Some hateful mischaracterizations are done on purpose. Some are done because the writer truly believes that's the way the people they're writing about are. Some are done because the writer wants to believe that's the way the people they're writing about are, because the simplicity of it feels good to them and they're afraid of the complication of seeing past the fantasy they hold of a simple world where some are plainly superior to others. And so on and so forth.
