Tags From Tofixtheshadows: #I Keep Saying That Fandoms Will Always Flatten Characters Into Shallow Versions

tags from tofixtheshadows: #I keep saying that fandoms will always flatten characters into shallow versions of themselves#because they will just sort of skim the surface of the media and let their expectations fill in the blanks#which are usually easy stereotypes#and this will inevitably hit marginalized characters harder; particularly people of color#and these stereotypes will more often be benevolent for the white characters#and more unfair towards the nonwhite ones

the problem of fandom reducing characters who are women and/or people of colour to sexist/racist stereotypes is definitely aggravated by the fact that a lot of fans simply do not pay very much attention to these characters in the first place then subconsciously paper over the gaps in their perception with things they’ve been culturally conditioned to believe are true about people in the same category as said character

Three sketches of Meryl Stryfe on an off-white background from the shoulders up. She is depicted with light-medium brown skin and a wide nose, with prominent cheekbones and a squared facial structure. She wears her white coat outfit in different variations from Maximum and 98, with her dusty gold earrings and cropped black hair. Her eyes are a muted purple. From left to right: Meryl’s side profile, eyes looking slightly down and determined; A black and white sketch of Meryl facing forward, looking into the distance off to the left, distress worn on her features; lastly, a closer bust of Meryl with a neutral expression, looking to the right.
Two sketches of Meryl from the mid-thighs up, colored and shaded. On the left; Meryl looking younger, leaned forward with her arms crossed behind her back, head tilted up and smiling brightly. She wears an off-white uniform with a brown-grey backpack that has more pockets and straps layered over her torso, buckled around the waist. She has a purple ribbon tied under the collar, with two earrings shaped like white stars on her right earlobe. Her hair is grown out a few inches and less cropped, referenced from Trigun Maximum. On the right: a Trigun Stampede inspired Meryl, facing forward with a relaxed stance, weight shifted to her right side. Her head is slightly lowered and she wears a heavy frown with furrowed brows, looking left. She wears dark grey-green cargo pants, a greige shirt with the sleeves rolled up exposing toned shoulders and arms, and a sleeveless brown turtleneck underneath. She also wears fingerless gloves and gun holsters over her shoulders, and a black belt with two pockets attached to the side.

lot of people take the idea they might be an oppressor like it's some kind of curse or marks them or makes them fundamentally irredeemable.

this means whenever someone suggests they might have structural power over some group, rather than being normal about it and going "oh yeah i should be mindful of how i act so i don't abuse that," they take it as a personal attack, and either jump to defending themselves by denying it, or start lashing out.

this makes 99.99999% of all conversations on this website completely fucking unbearable.
