Maybe this is why many WOC won’t want to be looped in. Because when they make change happen it doesn’t get acknowledged or celebrated the way white women do and we are fucking tired of it. https://twitter.com/semirose/status/1260674346659442689
And they way these accts love to drag #swrepmatters into their arguments when it’s convenient. As if we just sat here and didn’t say shit and didn’t participate in women-led panels in response. Y’all are trying to be oppressed so bad and I am not here for it.
You want civility? We have not been civil. We have raised a stink, used thoughtful language to express our desire for change over and over again. Many of us have burned bridges with LFL and other parts of fandom because of our criticisms. So again, fuck right off.
I think the real issue is that y’all don’t follow the right people. You don’t follow smart WOC that challenge your to de-colonize your fandom and your shipping. You call us bullies when we call our racism and dogpile in their mentions.
So again, if you want to drag the so-called “civility police” into this you’re going to be greatly disappointed when all the WOC you ignore regularly dont fight fair.
I think many of y’all are using your status as queer/WOC/PWD to weaponize your marginalization to defend white supremecy. Feminism is not “equality”. It’s tearing down ALL systems of oppression. It’s tearing down white supremacy. It’s anti-colonialism and anti-racist.
I’m muting this thread because I have to go work and then CREATE CONTENT for my podcast where we talk about decolonization and being anti-racist ALL THE FUCKING TIME.
