you guys heard of gawain? sound of the summer

Oh! Also! Lest it get overshadowed by the transphobia-- it's time to bring up the fact that in wilder culture, being interested in king Arthur is a frequently a red flag for being a racist (not so much in teenagers, I'm talking about adults). Although online that is thankfully not the case anywhere near as much, we should not ignore racism in this fandom. Fans of colour have repeatedly criticized certain trends and elements of the literature and fandom, including but not certainly not limited to th White's influence, and been repeatedly talked over. They have done critical, interesting analysis of racism in medieval literature and been dismissed as starting discourse instead of doing great meta at an academic level. Theyve been harassed for character designs (dont have receipts on that one but multiple ppl have told me about it). And if you think this fandom is safe from white nationalists, ppl have gotten anons accusing them of ruining arthuriana as a symbol of "western society," as well as repeated dismissals of colonialism and the existence of racism in med lit. If, like me, you're white, then please be aware of the white nationalist associations of the genre and listen to fans and creators of colour within it!!! They are not "starting discourse," they are making incredible content and doing really awesome analysis and deserve to be heard and anyone who doesnt like it can fuck right off
