Re: Controversial Opinions (Non-Fandom)

tbh I don't give a flying fuck if so-and-so author is black/asian/white/whatever. I don't give a flying fuck if that store is ~minority owned~.

I resent that I'm supposed to give a fuck about who owns the shit I want to buy. I don't care. If I like your product, I'll buy it. I don't give a crap about your story and where you came from and why your tragic tale means I should buy your product.

If I like your product, I'll buy your product. I don't care where you came from or what color your skin is or what your cultural roots are.

I just don't.

Oh wow, yeah. This is a majorly unpopular opinion right now.

IDGAF either BTW.

I am thoroughly confused by the 'if you don't own/read any BIPOC books you're a terrible person' rhetoric.

I know what maybe... a handful of the authors on my shelf look like and that's only if they have an author pic on the book, which a great majority don't nowadays.

I do agree that there is likely favouritism among the Big Publishers for "wholesome" and "white" because to them it equates marketability, but that change has to come from the inside.

On the one hand, there are some shitty authors whose stuff I still like even now that I know they’re shitty. On the other hand, I get mad when privileged authors write sanitized, sensationalized, fictionalized accounts of stuff marginalized people live with/through, and have already written about, in both factual and fictionalized accounts, and get more fame and acclaim for doing it than the people who actually lived the experiences they profited from.

And I’m white. I work in a library and it’s really obnoxious when people think they know all there is or all they need to know about a subject from a badly written, factually incorrect book by a white author who got a seven figure advance and a movie deal.

same. I don't want to buy or consume a shitty, terrible product just because the person is nonwhite, female, queer, etc. if it's a good product, great! but it has to be good.

I think people care less what you buy and more about whether you care a) about the structures of capitalism which uphold white supremacy, and you are willing to actively do something about it (this usually includes buying from minority owned shops because that is the source of social power which affects whether capitalist structures see marginalized people are valuable but that's not the only way to deconstruct white capitalism), and b) about widening your perspective to similarly marginalized or more marginalized people, which is a step on anti-racism, which requires that you engage with their perspective when they offer it.

Does that require that you buy from only certain people, technically no. But if you think your buying habits are dissociated and independent from white supremacy, then you're mistaken, and acting against that takes deliberate choice and investigation. Which again, no one can make you do.
