DA your comment explains the secret better than the secret does. Because all it says that is if you ship many slash pairings but don’t have any with a black/brown person bottoming and an Asian person topping then they side eye you. And honestly that definitely comes off as, “You didn’t check this block on the list of wokeness and are A Bad Person.”

I dunno, I mean my response was 'yeah probably lots of people in slash fandom have unacknowledged or unconscious race kinks for various reasons, reflective of IRL and media. it's kind of a thing'. I wasn't the only one to respond like that either. So some people read it differently from that.

The rest of the thread being immediately like 'I like what I like! Weewoo fandom police! But what about het?? Go woke go broke!' and over the top defensive is... unfortunately very much demonstrating what the original anon stated about people refusing to consider the idea that bias may drive people's fiction preferences, when it's applied to themselves.

Or maybe people who ship m/m are kinda tired of being the primary group that always gets singled out by the morality police when it comes to ~problematique~ shipping behaviours.
And honestly, I think it's just as if not more questionable to basically accuse everyone who doesn't ship a certain dynamic of totally having racial biases as it is to not consider you have them.

Mmm I'd disagree with that. I don't go out of my way to judge someone's ship preferences or lecture them about it, who has the time for that? But, for example, if OP is someone wary of someone who ships black men but only when they're domtops and never with other black men and are uninterested in black men otherwise, I'd find that less "questionable" than someone laughing off the very idea that people's preferences might be biased that way, whether through their own bias or through conventional media bias. Especially when that sort of bias re: that particular way black men are sexualized seriously does exist and has some kind of basis IRL.

I just don't think this makes OP the morality police or anything for so many people to be defensively up in arms about.
