#BlackTrekkiesMatter#EnoughEmptyGestures We can do a better job at protecting the BIPOC Trekkies in our community. Block and report racist accounts today. We need to stop giving people a platform to spread hate. 🖖
@MEMYSELFANDTlNI She unfollowed every one involved in the Brooke situation. I was pretty bummed to be soft blocked myself so I just blocked so I wouldn’t have to be reminded about it. I’m sorry this blew back on you when all you did was speak up. I hope you know you did nothing wrong.
@starklyjd @jAlexMac @RebelRebbetzin @hagaij@SadAndYellow I want to make this 100% clear. I have done nothing without the full support of the Black Trekkies who have reached out to me and I offered to help. I have been listening and doing everything I can when asked. On a personal note Alexis is my friend and I want to see her protected
@starklyjd @RebelRebbetzin @hagaij@SadAndYellow @jAlexMac Brooke directly said she had his support in all this twice. She is involved in his charity, she calls him her best friend, and they talk on the phone together. She isn’t just his mutual. All my initial contact with John was to provide him with evidence which we are now doing.
Parts of #TrekTwitter who seem unaccustomed to facing accountability when harming their marginalized brothers and sisters are trying to shift into *a narrative of being bullied* because of their aforementioned unfamiliarity. Here’s a message from the 21st century
@DreTop1a @jAlexMac @KawaiiMJ @JBillingsley60 @SadAndYellow@BlackAlertPod This is a genuine obstacle for us. When she went private she deleted a ton of stuff. I hope that will be taken in to consideration as she has scrubbed her account to make herself appear as the sole victim. None of the posts she made about me or my hubs are there anymore.
@PodWeirder It does make a difference. His following Brooke makes a difference. He values her voice and input. By unfollowing we are showing we don’t value his.
As many of you have now seen we reached out to JB to get a response about the situation with Brooke and ideally some support from someone in a position to actually help. An email was sent to JB and we didn’t receive a response so I offered to message him to check the address:
Yknow, I don’t know what’s going on in his family and I don’t claim to, but I think if DOZENS of POC Trekkies tell you that someone you associate with is a racist and a scammer, you might wanna like. Listen…(iykyk)
not surprised but extremely disappointed. to pass off the genuine and proven concerns of bipoc and queer people as petty squabbles is distasteful and proves how little you've actually been listening to these voices. if this is the kind of leftist support you provide, I, as a
you are told this person is a threat to BIPOC Trekkies BELIEVE them. Don’t reduce the issue to a personal squabble. We can do so much better as a community when we stop silencing victims and do the BARE minimum of listening to their stories.
All I am asking is for people in a position to make changes to do so. You have power and the responsibility that comes with it. Please use it. What we say on here DOES matter. Choose to do better. Take the threat against a Black woman seriously. Take Black voices seriously. When
