I keep waking up to new #AO3 discourse, so:

- Anti-racist work in spaces you love/value is hard. Do it anyway

- There aren& #39;t easy solutions but that doesn& #39;t mean we don& #39;t try

- Plz don& #39;t call ppl asking for systemic change any variant of the "fandom police." That& #39;s fucked up!
- It& #39;s not the responsibility of fans of color to offer bulletpoint, actionable proposals for you to fix your mess.

- We& #39;ve identified problems. If you agree that those exist, use some of those donation dollars to pay someone for policy work. Lots of ppl do!
- Ofc it is very possible the @OTW_News doesn& #39;t think it& #39;s a problem for them to engage with at all.

-In that case, please remove my work from that post and stop saying you& #39;re concerned about racism in fandom. Let& #39;s just be honest.
- And finally if you use #AO3, if you were proud of winning that HUGO, if you believe #BlackFansMatter, and that fandom spaces SHOULD be better, and that change is possible, please make some noise.
Additional note: Please keep this convo focussed on RACISM IN FANDOM!!!

If you& #39;ve never used the term "fandom police" to talk about race/ism then congrats! This thread is not about you!

Please don& #39;t derail because I& #39;m not going to engage with those kinds of comments.
Adding this as a final clarification. If you still got problems, well we probably won& #39;t have a fruitful conversation anyway. https://twitter.com/RukminiPande/status/1272196023318835201?s=20">https://twitter.com/RukminiPa...
