That ... sounds kind of close to 'I wish all the non-white people would go away so I don't have to worry about being called a racist'. I mean, I understand wanting to be able to cosplay who you want, but I don't think less non-white characters (or maintaining a white najority) is the answer here.

What a lovely dream

Just think... tumblr would be a utopia.

That is not even remotely close to what OP wrote. How did you even get to that conclusion?

(Anonymous) 2013-08-11 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Um. 'I'm glad most superheroines are white' kinda looks like 'lets keep the non-whites to a minimum' to me? The secret pretty much says that the more non-white characters there are, the harder things are for them.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-11 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
No, dumbass. OP NEVER SAID that non-white characters shouldn't be written. She's just glad that the ones that already exist are the same color as she is FOR THE SOLE REASON that she can cosplay them without getting attacked. Nowhere did she say that no one should ever write non-white characters.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-11 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
no that's...pretty much what the OP said. If more non-white characters were written in the future, her percentage of playable characters would decrease, and that would obviously make her unhappy.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-12 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
No, OP is glad that there's hardly any non-whites because it makes her life easier. This implies she want it to stay that way because more non-white characters = more risk of discomfort her.

So yeah, OP basically wants non-whites to disappear to make themselves feel good

Uh, no. That's nothing like what she wrote. That's what you see.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-11 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
The answer is for people like you, who make literally everything about race, to stop making literally everything about race and just let people cosplay and write and draw whoever they want instead of raising a huge shitstorm and calling them racist when they cross racial or ethnic lines.

+1

Ah, the "colourblind" solution. We should be so lucky to all be able to do that. Fail.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-12 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
Funny, I thought that was the "don't be a dickhead" argument. I must be slipping.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-12 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Actually, ignoring something doesn't make it go away.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-12 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
We should be able to strive for that.

But people like you don't actually want to, because people like you don't actually want that to ever be reality.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-12 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
What? People who say "just ignore it" are the ones who don't have to deal with it. It doesn't actually fix things, you know.

Try reading The Giver to see where striving for things like perfect colorblindness will probably get us.

[personal profile] glo_unit 2013-08-13 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
What if you believe being color-blind is both impossible, and hurts those in minority cultures?

It sounds to me like they said "I wish all the SJWs would go away so I don't have to worry about being called a racist".
