   Never going to forgive or forget that whenever Black people have suggested that hey, cultural spaces and discourse should be maybe a tiny bit less racist, white liberals, leftists, and queers have responded by screaming about the evils of censorship and tarring Black people as oppressors and abusers (:

     And white women and queer people have often been at the forefront of these antiblack attacks under the auspice of protecting white women and queer people from the big scary Black menace (now where have we seen that rhetoric before?). Fandom has taught me that all too often white feminists and queer people's allegiance will lie with whiteness first and foremost, and fedi solidified that lesson.

     Fortunately lots of people do seem to be willing to rethink and learn, and maybe things will get better over time. Idk. But the relentless dominance of whiteness in fandom and and literary spaces is a tiring reality, often even outside direct Anglophone spheres.
