AYRT

a bunch of frankly minor pairings (in the sense that i could probably find more sherlock/mycroft fics) listed, save for zutara/lok and brittana.

And no, racism isn't just something experienced by slash fans.

where the fuck did that come from? non sequitur to the max.

(in case you're the same person who said they were to blame in a lower thread).

yeah, well, i'm not.

I'm genuinely sorry for assuming you were that person. They raised my hackles by implying racism was purely a problem for slashers, rather than fandom and the world as a whole. And for that reason, I was being overly vindictive. Sorry. :(

On your other note, though, Sherlock is a HUGE fandom. In a large fandom like that, any given pairing will likely be more prevalant, because of sheer size alone. For example, I've read a bunch of Draco Malfoy/Blaise Zabini in Harry Potter, which is also an interracial couple, though obviously not a bigwig in the fandom (at least partially because we didn't even know if Blaise was male or female for a while, he was mentioned so briefly). Draco/Blaise probably has more fics than Travis/Wes does, simply because Harry Potter fandom is so large. Relative to their individual fandoms, however, the pairings I've listed are somewhere at the top of their food-chains.

I mean, you can make the case, perhaps, that the fandoms are not that big BECAUSE some of the most important ships involve POCs, but I don't know. There are definitely other factors that go beyond writing all of fandom being off as racist. There are gray-zones. I'm putting forward that we'd see more pairings beyond white character/white character if non-white characters were given more standing in their original canons as a whole. With Twilight, for example, Bella/Jacob's one of the two main pairings, actually more popular than Edward/Jacob (tbh, I don't know, as I've never looked at that fandom's archives), and it's also interracial.
