I have never met people as hostile to their own cause as the End OTW Racism crowd. Do you have questions about how their proposed solutions work? You’re pro-racist, you piece of shit. You want to know more proposed solutions beyond ‘hire staff to review things reported as racist’? That’s just what a racist would say. You think that blocking and muting people who are racist is a good step to take to protect yourself? Typical pro-racist rhetoric. You want to know how staff is supposed to deal with people reporting things to spite others, reports that are in error, and make a judgment call on what is and is not racist? You’re such a fucking stan for racism, Karen.I gather that these people think people care about some big-name anti in their midst but honestly, from their seething contempt for everyone who even asks a single follow-up question about the logistics of something to their utter disgust towards anyone who they perceive as not being on their side, they’re the ones making me not have a lot of faith in this as an idea.But if you don’t have a lot of faith in it, you’re of course 1. white and 2. rejoicing that an anti-racism campaign is failing, you racist. So I’m sure they read this, yelled, “fucking pro-racist white cishet lady!” and reassured themselves they’re doing something great for fandom, meanwhile in reality the first time I hear about it was a white person telling my black ass that I was pro-racist for asking what End OTW Racism even was. Don’t know about their campaign? You’re racist. Want to learn more? Racist. Oh, sure, you can say no one told you, but that’s just a lie meant to excuse your racism.Bruh. I was SPAT ON at a convention last week for cosplaying while black, how likely is it that my tumblr, AO3, Instagram and Tiktok, which are all under the same handle, are all elaborate deepfakes by a hardcore white racist pretending to be black? By contrast, how likely is it that on a planet of 8 billion, one person might not have heard of your internet thing? Especially since my fandom is an old one that refuses to move fic onto AO3 and keeps posting on FFN? Wait, wait, let me guess – “that’s just what a pro-racist would say!” ?IDK about ending OTW racism but it’s definitely helped fandom racism as a whole stay alive and thrive by giving white teens in the suburbs an excuse to call me racist with impunity so hats off for that. Really made my life better as a black trans person in fandom.
