i was thinking about what to say about what happened, but i don’t think i have many words, if any at all. if you’ve been in fandom spaces before, you know that this isn’t unusual, but as a black person, you know what comes next. (a long thread ⬇️)
The trick to enjoying fandom is to focus on the fan content (especially fanarts, for me) and ignore everyone else except your few chosen people bcs it's surprising how many dumb and annoying people there are out there
