... well then.

Does it make you uncomfortable that Korra is a POC? Do you not want to acknowledge that fact about her?
How are we making it all about us? I'm a POC but I have plenty of white friends who refer to her (and other characters from that universe) as POCs so...
I don't understand what you're reaching for, OP.

and yes, maybe for once the pocs would like it to be all about us

No gifs today,

[cuteanimalpics]

but there's a bonus video.

[rmg]

what a dumb secret

It's Time

[(Anonymous)]

A while back, someone made a secret about the GetUp Australia video that they wish one had been done with women.

Your wish is my command:

I think OP meant "all about them" meaning the white people making it all about them. There's no such thing as "white" or "PoC" in the world that Korra is from; there's no white/other divide and only things like the "Water Tribe" the "Fire Tribe" and so on.

Why are white people insisting that they are still the default in a world where they clearly aren't?

[rmg]

so the secret isn't that you wrote RPF about him hooking up with somebody you actually know, but that you think he looks good that that photo?

seriously don't write RPF and especially don't write RPF about people you know

that's weird and creepy

[(Anonymous)]

Fictional stories do not exist in a vacuum -- not even if they're set in a fantasy world.

Art always imitates life. There is always a reflection of real life struggles in fiction, and race and ethnicity are no exception.

She might not be a minority in her world in the same way she would be in certain parts of our world in real life, but calling her a POC for context in more meta/stepping-back-and-looking-at-the-context-in-real-life-the-story-causes kind of discussions makes perfect sense to me.

[(Anonymous)]

"POC" is a loaded term in real life, sure, but you can't deny that Korra is a person of color. She may come from a fantasy world, but one would never hesitate to call, say, a white princess form a medieval story "white". POC can and should refer to characters who reflect their appearances POC. Otherwise you are taking away a lot. I want to see a character who looks like me and call them what they are, not be forced to "share" their POC status with white people since it's a fantasy world. /on meds and unable to articulate stuff very well

[(Anonymous)]

Wow though sugarless gum in utenaverse and korrasami? those are the best and who wouldn't join fandoms for them?

a little disappointed that you posted jake/dirk and not rose/kanaya >:(

[(Anonymous)]

How is it creepy if the group of friends does that with each other? They seem to all be okay with it. I would find it creepy if the other friends had objected but it seems to be a mutually tolerated thing.

SanSan secrets are old.

[(Anonymous)]

well, um, the tv series made me like animals more, so, uh, i kind of get where you are coming from

[(Anonymous)]

OP

I'm not sorry.

[menage]

I can sympathize with you OP and it sucks that her story hits close to home, but part of me would give an arm and a leg for the slightest information about Azula's life and whereabouts after A:tLA.

[chocorate]

Oh here we go.

[(Anonymous)]

So every japanese anime character is a POC? This reasoning makes zero sense.

Loca, the pug who cannot feckin run
Never mind, I guess you can't embed videos on Dreamwidth.

You should still watch it, though.

"tolerated"

I think it really depends on how uncomfortable/comfortable everyone involved is with it, but as a general rule of thumb it's better to avoid doing that. Many people wouldn't like to be used as fictional characters in their friends' or strangers' stories, much less with romance/sex involved. That stuff can ruin friendships, you know?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm only disagreeing with this because Ros needs to gtfo.

[(Anonymous)]

I love the last couple Ani secrets that have been here lately.

[(Anonymous)]

Anime is on a whole different real life cultural context than "western" works, don't pretend it's the same to start wank.
