If I Act Like An Asshole Tell Me I’ll Try And Fix The Behaviour.

if i act like an asshole tell me i’ll try and fix the behaviour.

a beginner’s guide to fandom racists

This is by no stretch of the imagination a finished list, nor will it probably ever be. But over my years in Tumblr I’ve started to Notice some Things…

Basic Racist

“so NO poc characters can die????”

purposely misinterprets your argument

“blackwashing exists too. if mj can be black then aang can be white”

“why don’t they just make a NEW black superhero/princess/franchise?”

“stop making fun of xyz writer; they’re probably a much better writer than you’ll ever be”

alternatively “have you written a book? then you can’t have any opinion whatsoever”

alternatively “if you want to see diverse characters then write your own story instead of complaining”

“you should be grateful for the one side poc who died in the first episode”

“imagine if i said the same thing about poc. that’s reverse racism”

Smug/Oppressed Racist

makes several posts expressing their dismay and sadness after being called out for racism

assumes victim position whenever possible

lowkey/highkey an anti-anti

thinks and acts like they are oppressed by the existence of antis

*approaching their mutual of color (or a blogger of color in their community) after writing/reblogging a problematic post* “hey just wondering, why did you block me?”

makes fic/edits/headcanons/art that relies on racist stereotypes and characterization

“i miss the days when you could just be racist write whatever fic/like whatever character/post whatever headcanons without people getting mad :/”

“some people just don’t know how to have FUN!”

“don’t you have anything better to do than run a HATE BLOG about this poor writer?”

part of a network of white mutuals and followers who supportively affirm each other that they’re Not Racist

refuses to acknowledge anything you say unless it’s written in standard white grammar and falsely cheery affect

Schrodinger’s Woke

usually a white lady

has some posts about intersectionality on their blog

doesn’t support any movies/shows/books written by and for poc

never reblogs bloggers of color

alternatively, only reblogs bloggers of color who agree with their opinion (which 90% of the other poc in the fandom disagree with)

goes hard in calling out misogyny, but “can excuse” the racism of the author

alternatively, *about a problematic white female character* “you have to excuse the racism in her narrative. just because there’s racism in it doesn’t mean she’s not a feminist hero. it’s not her fault that the writers wrote it that way”

generally expecting all fans to put the representation of white women before any other representation in terms of importance

“why can’t this strong woc just be single?! she’s awesome without a man”

selectively calls out racism in fandom/content when it makes their preferred character/blogger look better in comparison to the “more racist” character/blogger

repeats what bloggers of color say but in a cheery tone and more watered down; gets heaps of praise from mutuals and followers for being a woke queen

assumes position of authority on all social justice issues, especially concerning gender (and sexuality if they are lgbtq+)

“the writer knows what they’re doing. i give them the benefit of the doubt because we don’t know how the story will turn out in the end”

may or may not have written elaborate posts about racism and race theory

definitely stans at least one extremely problematic white author and defends them and their “genius” to the death

thinks that calling out white cis/het women for their racism/homophobia/transphobia is sexist

Idk what parent needs to hear this but

Your kid’s room is their room. It’s not yours. It’s theirs. It their room. Knock before you enter. Don’t go through their stuff. Ask permission to use their things. I know you feel entitled to the space and the stuff because “it’s your house” or “you bought that bed” (or dresser, or clothes etc.) but you’re not entitled to it. Those are things you’re supposed to provide to your child. If someone gifts you a book it doesn’t mean they can come into your house and read it whenever they want, go through it or take it without asking.

Give your child some privacy please! I’m not saying to let them stay out late, let them lock their doors when they have guest over or, to just never check in on them. I’m saying to knock first. As permission. Let your child have boundaries. Because if you don’t they’ll grow up to be a “yes man.” They’ll grow up not knowing what healthy boundaries are and will be taken advantage of, walked on and abused. Don’t give your child an unnecessary rough start. Don’t be the source of their pain, stress, fear or anxiety.

You’re supposed to be their safe haven. And their room is supposed to be their safe haven. Being home, especially in their own room, shouldn’t be stressful. It should be comfortable. It should be safe.

Me watching several POVs of the Hermitcraft Season 10 debut, so I've heard the whole "We all know what the prize for winning Demise is, but the audience doesn't" spiel a good few times...

... then going to Etho's episode and he goes trotting off and says "I actually had no idea there was a prize to this thing. I still don't know what it is."

Absolutely Etho behavior.

i don’t have a source but i’m fairly sure this was a pun about an opposing theatre’s sewers (the rose) also his theatre was called the globe and he wrote all the worlds a stage so yeah shakespeare did puns

“What’s in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”

so if you don’t know what shifting is, a quick explanation is that it’s the idea that the multiverse exists and that you can transport your soul into a multiverse where your favorite characters are real. It’s a whole thing and was hugely popular on TikTok in 2020+2021.

Anyway I am Not judging anyone or even about to comment on shifting in itself.

But there’s also a concept that you can “script” the universe you shift to and even pick your appearance while you’re there.

And in late 2021 I posted a cosplay video that got a fair amount of views and people kept tagging each other in the comments and saying stuff like “I’m faceclaiming her for next time I shift.”

Which I swear did not bother me I was like okay you funky kids.

But two people specifically started taking about using my face when they shift universes to date Draco Malfoy. And I was like man. Don’t use my face to kiss Draco Malfoy. Im begging you.

I didn’t actually say that in the comments mind you I just let them be.

So anyway a few months ago someone posted a video discussing that they were one of the main shifting influencers and they faked everything and they were just lucid dreaming the entire time. So as you can imagine, shifters were very upset to hear this

I made a single comment about this situation. Maybe two sentences. And people are. Very angry.

And now for months I keep getting comments on my TikToks that I’m too ugly to date Draco Malfoy. This is considered the ultimate insult to them, I believe.

“Trust me. Nobody wants that face dating Draco.”

They’re also mostly running K-Pop fancam accounts and I’m trying to figure out the Draco Malfoy K-Pop link but so far I’ve got nothing.

Idk where I’m going with this I just felt like other people should know that I’m currently K-Pop Draco Malfoy’s number 1 enemy.
