white favoritism and racism in the arrowverse and cwverse fandoms (a thread) :

I will not be blocking out anyones names if a screenshot of your tweet is here it is because you are racist. If any of these don’t apply to you then rt, like and mind your business pls don’t start a fuss

Iris West Allen (the female lead and love interest on the flash) is a good example of this considering snowbarry was made before the show even aired when it was announced a fully black woman (Candice Patton) would be playing Iris West.

Many snowbarry and dceu fans claim their hatred for CW Iris is due to Barry and Iris being “siblings” or make “step sibling” jokes when Barry was never adopted by Joe West and no hatred is thrown at Barry about westallen so we can call it what it is, racism.

Many dceu fans hate Iris for similar reasons and whenever CW Iris is brought up they often compare her to dceu Iris (who has about the same backstory as CW Iris but the only difference is that the actress for dceu Iris is biracial and lighter than Candice)

Kelly Olsen is the current love interest of Alex Danvers and while her being Alex’s endgame is solidified, many people (sanvers stans) often make racist comments and suggest that Kelly (a confirmed lesbian character) is like Alex’s ‘straight best friend’ +

Azie has had to deal with several racist comments from sanvers and the CW has done nothing to stop these comments even though earlier last year they have claimed they wouldn’t stand for these hateful comments that are mostly against their black love interests

please do not twist my words here but people of the supercorp fandom often pay more attention to a fanon ship than the canon ship that includes a fully black woman and there are times when y’all make a dansen post about supercorp

in the past some people of the supercorp fandom have been known to make very racist comments towards Mehcad simply because his character (James Olsen) was at one point dating Lena Luthor (pls don’t tell me how to feel about these just seeing these made me feel sick)

there is also the karamel fandom who also have a thing against James Olsen considering he was the first love of Kara Danvers and the man they ship with kara (a white slave owner from Daxam) replaced James as Karas love interest in s2 +

Aside from the fact that the CW was wrong for replacing Kara’s black love interest who had plenty of chemistry together with a white misogynistic slave owner named Mon-el (all of this is canon) karamels have made racist comments in the past and recently

(im not a big fan of tvdu fandom so please correct me if any of this is wrong) I know Bonnie Bennet and Kat Graham has gotten plenty of racist comments from tvdu fandom especially fans of the salvatore brothers, bonkais and fans of the gilberts+

I wont speak too much on this show that I do not fully know but I know that the writers and fans have been terrible to Bonnie and Kat mainly because she is the only main female black character on the show and to this day fans still disrespect Bonnie because of Ms Gilbert

Many people in these fandoms try to excuse their racist comments with “it just doesn’t have any chemistry” or “the character is just annoying” when alot of times its just racism. (if I got anything wrong in this thread or i should reword anything please tell me)

I forgot to add that plenty of people love to demonize James Olsen while making Mon-el an “soft misunderstood boy ” when in reality Mon-el was grown when he was a slave owner on Daxam and James hasn’t done anything that makes him worse than Mon-el

theres more ss that are mainly from the sanvers fandom that a friend dmed me and its mainly just them invalidating Azie feeling terrible about racist comments being sent to her both privately and in her own comments
