Thankful for the older Black woman who taught at my elementary school and told me straight up, "He doesn't like you. No boy that hits you likes you. You better punch his ass back."
My unpopular opinion is that if you engage with headcanons and fanon more than you do the actual canon, then you don't actually like that show or its characters.
Allowing your child to essentially run into the arms of pedophiles for money is crazy because why the fuck else would a grown ass man make a booking to meet a 4 year old?
Too far?? Mother of 4 year old viral sensation Ms Shirley is catching a lot of flack for offering meet and greets with her daughter....these bookings are for adult gatherings not kids
Being a Black woman in fandom is having to accept the reality that if there's a Black woman love interest, 9/10 she will be ignored, replaced, or highly mischaracterized.
Waking up to realize some of you actually don't actively read, play, or watch the things you claim to like, which explains so much about the current state of fandom.

White lesbians are a bit too comfortable with yelling at bisexual woc about "dating our oppressors" while forgetting that they too are included in that statement.
White people will have a "racist phase" as teenagers and terrorize every Black and Brown child within their vicinity and laugh about it years later like it was some "normal, harmless fun" as if they didn't cause various people massive amounts of racial trauma.
Actual queer stories are losing funding, being censored, banned, and outright canceled while their authors are targeted and harassed, but sure. Let's continue to not support them and instead yell at people for not seeing the "gay subtext" for the same two straight men.
Learning that one of the most popular mlm ships was made in response to white women not wanting a Black woman to be shipped with a white man doesn't surprise me at all.
Fanfic in general has a very deep history of misogyny and racism going back to its earliest forms. The earliest forms of fanfics were ones created by white women who were Star Trek fans with the main ship being Spock x Kirk… I’ll give you a guess as to why
When Black characters are put into positions of power, white fandom is very quick to point out that character's flaws. Yet notice when it comes to white characters, the same degree of analysis and hatred is not applied. In fact, it's usually excused or diminished.
I always find it kinda funny when queer people realize that yaoi and its origins were never this safe haven for them to explore and enjoy their desires but was/is majority written, read, and popularized by straight cis women. This is just normal behavior for them.
