"Sometimes, I wish that as an anti-anti I could call out bigoted works in fan and professionally released media, but then people will think I'm actually an anti out to censor fandom"

That sounds like a hell of your own design and you are welcome to suffer in it.

🤷🏾‍♀️
The people actively identifying as anti antis and running anonymous discourse blogs where they dismiss all criticism of fandom content and fan behavior as invalid are ridiculous fucks who actively worked to get people to equate criticism of media/fandom with censorship.

🤷🏾‍♀️
Sucks that you can't like call out the racism you'd supposedly would call out if not for the existence of critical fans of color you've relabeled as fandom police, but uh... You did this to yourselves in the process of making fandom extra unwelcoming to critique.

So stfu?

😊
It just angers me that there are people who dismiss and derail conversations on racism in fandom and who've definitely contributed to strangling the potential for criticism in these spaces blaming their silence on bigotry on fandom police they've labeled and are silencing.
Y'all created a fandom environment where criticism is anti behavior.

Yall created a fandom environment where criticism isn't taken seriously.

Y'all have actually made it okay for people to write off all criticism of fandom as bullying/harassment.

Fuck y'all for it.
Anyone who essentially says "I would call out bigotry in fandom and media if not for how I'd be seen as an anti" is

A) an asshole
B) someone that wasn't actually going to call out bigotry in those spaces in the first place unless it directly affected them as an individual
That's why they don't like... call out obvious racism but do mock it.

And why many anti antis actually sided with Rey/Kylo shippers across this whole thing John even though they were attempting to silence and punish HIM for making a single sex joke, therefore "censoring" him.
Here's a discourse blog being reductive and dismissing conversations about the way bodies of people of color are treated and portrayed in fandom.

This isn't a user who cares about racism in fandom because here they are mocking convos about one form. https://twitter.com/stichomancery/status/1195293507809955847?s=19
Here's a tweet where I talk about seeing people (usually anti anti accounts) dismiss my work

Like if you truly cared about fighting Genuine Bigotry in fandom/media, you'd do it. You wouldn't drum up scapegoats to excuse your inaction and disinterest. https://twitter.com/stichomancery/status/1140934419215257601?s=19
