The worst thing about anime fandoms online is all the racist, homophobic weebs that come out of the woodwork whenever BIPOC and LGBT+ people in fandom enjoy themselves.

Black cosplayer: *exists and cosplays an anime character*
Racists in anime fandoms: "Your cosplay is inaccurate! You look ugly! (Racial slur and/or other racist comment)." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYmpsWJe2jM">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

POC artist: *draws/edits a character to racebend them or color them darker for fun*
Racists in anime fandoms: "This harmless art/edit bothers me immensely for some reason but I& #39;m not racist!" *takes the art/edit and turns it into a racist caricature* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y0wVFXeZXQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Lgbt+ person: *headcanons characters as lgbt+, ships anime characters of the same gender*
Homophobes/transphobes: "Sorry to burst your bubble, SJW, but that character is straight! That character isn& #39;t a (transphobic slur). Stop bringing your politics into anime!"

(can& #39;t find a youtube video covering this last one but I& #39;m sure you know what I mean, crap like what I talk about in this thread) https://twitter.com/lizcourserants/status/1382025015458197511">https://twitter.com/lizcourse...

Anyways I& #39;ve been wanting to rant about this for a while but I think I& #39;ve just been hesitant to because bigoted anime dudebros legit make me anxious but I& #39;ll just mute this bad boy if this thread blows up lol
