(Anonymous) 2017-08-24 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)Like lets say Joe and Fred are friends in a show, Joe is white and Fred is black. The show isn't notably racist, but fandom fanon is Joe has a huge fetish for black cock and Fred likes being called the n word during sex. Is it a racist pairing? No because canon? Yes because fanon? Maybe?
Now lets say Joe is fairly racist on the show, but the popular coffeeshop AU in fanon has Joe being a great guy who's never said a racist thing in his life and is very loving and supportive of Fred. Is it a racist pairing? Yes because canon? No because fanon? Maybe?
And also likely - There's a scene that goes
Joe: What's up my n...
Fred: *stare*
Joe: ...oteworthy friend?
Half of fandom: JOE'S A RACIST!!!
Other half of fandom: JOE'S NOT RACIST YOU'RE RACIST FOR ASSUMING HE MEANT ANOTHER N WORD!
Half of fandom: You're racist if you ship him with Fred!
Other half of fandom: WTF?!?! You're racist if you DON'T ship him with Fred!
So that makes any discussions complicated. And then there's trying to make connections between what you like in fiction and what you like IRL being a whole giant mess and me watching Moana doesn't mean I think 16 year old girls should be set adrift alone in the ocean on sailboats. But trying to explain that you know it's ok because it's fictional is hard when people are screaming at you that you're pro-drowning teenagers and that makes you a sicko. You don't like Moana because you're anti-drowning teens? Cool, but that doesn't make you more moral than me because I'm ok with fictional teens in danger.
