Am I gonna sit here and act like Amphibitwt is perfect? No thatā€™s dumb
There are two main issues here and while theyā€™re not as strong it apparent thatā€™s purely because weā€™re smaller
ā€¢White-favoritism
ā€¢The sexualization of minors

+Continued in thread
As for white favoritism in this fandom itā€™s pretty clear with Sasha. While I have been seeing it die down lately that doesnā€™t change the fact itā€™s still here. Now Iā€™m well aware that simply liking her character however isnā€™t bad, but when so many people that havenā€™t seen the+
show think sheā€™s actually the main character when sheā€™s so far only been in three, thatā€™s an issue. Silencing the praising of other characters to talk about her is something Iā€™ve seen happen a lot also and Iā€™ve even went through it. +
While Iā€™m no expert and if Iā€™m wrong here please correct me, but the three big signs of it to me are
ā€¢Saying she has done nothing wrong and downplaying all the stuff she put Anne through
ā€¢Silencing others for any reason to talk about her
ā€¢Saying Marcy is more toxic than +
her when thereā€™s more evidence against that than for it.

As for the first example Iā€™ve seen it all to much. Jokes aside I mean when people genuinely say what she did wasnā€™t bad. Not only is it insulting to Anneā€™s character and traumas, real people like me who have gone through+
many things like Anne, but ironically to Sashaā€™s character as well. The whole point is that right now, sheā€™s not healthy and has to get better. But how can you get better when youā€™re already in the right? Perfect.
You can love her character all you want but taking her toxic+
traits away is an insult to her as well.

Now when it comes to silencing others or stopping others to praise her, itā€™s a mixed bag. Some days Iā€™ve seen it happen none stop and the next Iā€™ll see no mention of Sasha on any Marcanne or Marcy or Anne post+
Again itā€™s a mixed bag but it does happen and it gets in the way of what the original posters wish to say. Ex, I posted about Anneā€™s voice actress Brenda Song and instantly the first two comments were about Sasha. Smaller example but it gets the point across+
and itā€™s one I witnessed/experienced.
The simple fact is that if you wanna praise her go ahead but donā€™t silence others talking about the poc characters to do so.

And oh boy my favorite one. Iā€™ll go ahead and say it, if Sasha was the Chinese character and Marcy was white+
everything here would be sooo different. But thatā€™s not the case so letā€™s focus on reality.
Itā€™s the fact that even after itā€™s been made apparent that Sasha knows what sheā€™s doing, sheā€™s not a healthy friend, and such on. Yet thereā€™s some people hellbent on the idea that+
Marcy is already worse than Sasha in every way even though itā€™s also been made clear thatā€™s not the case. Now yā€™all know Iā€™m a Marcanne bitch and Iā€™m keeping ships out of this as much as I can so Iā€™m sorry if I come off as biased, but I can make a literal bulletpoint list here+
ā€¢ā€Iā€™m guessing you havenā€™t found a way home either huhā€ the either showing that she has been looking to get home as well
ā€¢Her worry about finding Sasha shown in both Marcy at the Gates and The Sleepover to End All Sleepovers showing she cares about them getting home as well+
ā€¢Whether or not Anne is around sheā€™s looking for as much info on the box as she can, so much so she read through an entire library to find anything at all
ā€¢And the biggest one in my opinion, tweaking her own logic so she could put Anneā€™s happiness above her own+
even with it being very clear she wants her to stay. She put herself lower than Anne on her priorities list.

Now this isnā€™t a Marcy thread so Iā€™ll stop there, but after all of that the fact thereā€™s still people out there that say sheā€™s more toxic than Sasha is concerning+
As someone whoā€™s been through toxic relationships of many kinds I can assure you, Sasha is the unhealthy one.

And this all connects back to the main point here, the white favoritism.
This isnā€™t saying you canā€™t like Sasha, but pushing down important aspects of both poc+
characters, PLUS her OWN to make her look like a goddess IS something that needs to stop.

And with that part of the rant done letā€™s talk about the sexualization of minors here. Honestly, itā€™s a lot worse in other places. Like I said in another thread it happens here like once+
a week and we report and move on. But that doesnā€™t change the fact it does happen and in other places itā€™s a LOT.
We have it easy here, as someone with a deviantart account trust me when I say we have it easy. But if this message can reach others Iā€™ll say it, STOOOP!+
I really donā€™t understand the need people have to put these minors in situations that are suggestive, or fetishized, or even just straight up sexual.
I know itā€™s an issue that everyone here doesnā€™t like and I think we need to take it more seriously. We report and scroll past+
but we need to do more. We need to call these people out on their actions, call out the people that support them, and make it known what they do. With this plus the fact itā€™s already low here, it shouldnā€™t be a very common thing but people like this being deserve to+
be ignored and left to continue what they do. They have to be outed for exposed.

Anyways thatā€™s my rant
In short donā€™t sexualize minors and donā€™t silence others to talk about the white girl
