Every Piece Of ""autistic Representation"" In Hollywood Sucks Not Just Because Of The Infantalization

Possibly the greatest struggle in fandom is trying to talk about racism in either canon or as a general fandom trend and then immediately having your inbox filled with denial that exists in any form anywhere and also getting repeated personal attacks against you for daring to so much as mention that racism is still happening. It’s all good and well until you mention racism is an issue, and then it’s like the entirety of Tumblr turns into Fox News.

SouHaru Week | Day One: Firsts & Childhood

the first time sousuke beats haru in a race, he plops his head on haru’s lap. haru just hopes sousuke doesn’t grumble about his bony knees.

some people are so used to mostly consuming media where the women and people of color are static set dressing in stories about white men that they can't wrap their heads around the concept that female characters and characters of color can have arcs of their own. they'll see a character who's not a white man display a personality flaw that is clearly being set up to be overcome and they see it not as the setup of what promises to be an enticing character journey, but as an essential defining trait of their being, and proceed to demonize such characters for it. white men get to be dynamic and complex, women and people of color get essentialism and a pressure for likeability over good storytelling.

i can’t believe goli0n baptized akira/shiro in pure light and no one else

i think part of the rsn is that majority of fandoms perception of aomine is persistently negative but treated as Harmless Fun, evident in the frequency of ahomine jokes (even though theres little in the text that suggests stupidity - immaturity+naivety yes but those are not synonymous to fandoms mockery of aomine the “basketball idiot”; im also not keen on belittling others based on how they perform academically, another distorted yet widely accepted as Canon Truth fandom readily adopts. we dont even really see aomine in an academic setting, so all these hcs of how he sucks at school and only attends just to play basketball are unnecessary bc EVEN IF WE WERE GIVEN CONCRETE EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THIS, it shouldn’t even matter???????? his athletic talent+his worth as a person are not connected to his scholastic achievements and the lack of the latter is not grounds to trivialize him)

perhaps fujimakis and fandoms colorist prejudices arent as in-your-face as reos “campiness”; theyre innocuous at face value, but bc fandom extrapolates and blows them up into memes/fandom-wide interpretations, im surprised fandom is still upholding truly baffling, discriminatory impressions theyve had since aomine was first introduced in the manga

fujimaki (and by extension knb fandom) and the relationship with colorism

people love ignoring canon to a brainrotting degree until you ask them why they don’t give any attention to female/poc characters then they start crying and sobbing about how canon doesn’t give them anything to work with
