Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

I understand how much of a disappointment that was, and I too am glad we can have a friendly discussion!

It's such a tricky subject because it really is hard to decide where to draw the line. Like just racism! To steal a phrase, the only thing two people will agree on about the definition of racism is that a third person has it wrong. I encountered someone on facebook posting a meme that was "The best way to prevent tomorrow's police brutality against black people is to kill all of the blacks today." in complete seriousness, along with a rant about if they wanted to protest people should give them 'something to protest about'. That's FREAKIN SCARY AND VERY RACIST. But where do you draw the line? Is watching Captain America racist because the main character is a white dude? What if you ship Steve/Bucky instead of Steve/Sam, is that racist? Well... racism probably influences people's preferences because we don't develop likes and dislikes in a vacuum, but... What if you then say Steve/Sam shippers are ablest for discriminating against an amputee? Uuuh....

And it's just... messy because it's a messy topic and a lot of squinting at shades of purple and trying to sort them into 'mostly blue' or 'mostly red' and some are going to be easy and some are going to take a judgment call.

So basically my conclusion is that it sounds like supporting what you want in your fandom seems the best way to 'first, do no harm' and thank you again for being willing to listen and discuss this with me. I enjoyed getting to work through some ideas that have kinda been bouncing around a while.
