1. El Racismo en la Ficción Fantástica y de Ciencia Ficción.
Se discute la omnipresencia del racismo en los mundos de fantasía y ciencia ficción, a menudo justificado o presentado de manera problemática, y cómo esto refleja sesgos del mundo real.
- Long ago i used to think racism in fantasy worlds was important to give flavor and realism to a setting, but now i just hate it. Its way too often that i see people parroting the fantasy racist shit in a way that makes it pretty clear that those real world people really want to say real slurs.
- First fantasy racism, then sci-fi robo racism, i wonder what the next weird haha guys im not racist but.racism in fiction setting outlet will be.
- The one strange accomplishment of the very bare bones writing is that they made fantasy racismxenophobia allegory actually uuh make sense. Like real racismxenophobia. No zootopia shit no youre oppressing yourselves bullshit lmao.
- Racism in fantasy is always so stinky because its somehow justified. Want it to work? simply dont.
- I think part of writing traditionally based on some sort of european past fantasy is recognizing which tropes contain racism and racist ideas and then actively disengaging with and addressing those ideas in narrative.
- The problem with fantastical racism breakdown by youtuber princess weekes op note while avatar and star trek are referenced in the thumbnail, i did not tag them as they are either not mentioned. True blood hbo disney anime original post on.
- There is a racism inherent to fantasy fiction in the idea that you have races and people that are sentient but understood to be fundamentally bad. And these tropes are so socially ingrained that they kind of show up without the authors express intent.
- I enjoy fantasy racism when its stuff like calling elves knife ears, but when it starts to mimic real world racism is when i get uncomfortable.
- Fantasy authors, do not do this. You have an infinite range of options. Recognize when you exclude brown people in the same breath as telling me how wondrous and diverse your world is, youve made painfully clear that a youre white and b im in for some fantasy racism as a treat. In chapter 2.
- The problem with making the marginalized allegory be people with powers. It fails to understand that racism is irrational. Either both sides need to have powers. Or the marginalized ones need to be the non-powered group being oppressed.
2. El Impacto del Racismo en las Comunidades de Fandom.
Se examina cómo el racismo se manifiesta en los fandoms, desde la instrumentalización en "guerras de fandom" hasta la negación de su existencia y el impacto perjudicial en los fans de color.
- This happens in multiple fandoms btw. People will weaponize racism to their silly little fandom wars whims.
- Worst part is that idk how you combat this issue. Anti blackness is a global thing and racism isnt treated as an issue especially in fandom spaces.
- The issue i have with this is its ao3 and fanfiction. And yes i understand what youre saying but people even in their own minds be subjective about racism.
- The amount of racism, ive experienced in the hellaverse fandom, is so abhorrent is crazy. The moment you mention youre poc people start acting different. Please, work out your internalized racism.
- Xiv fandom at large does not take racism seriously, white people cant see that its something that actually harms poc, reducing our real discomfort and hurt to petty drama and censorship.
- Its the same shit as white people getting way too excited to cosplay fantasy racism in wow or ffxiv, rushing to make up slurs for elves and dwarves and miqote and elezen and stuff. Within every white nerd, theres a deep ache to be a hateful bigot, and it often expresses itself in fiction.
- Its so much worse when people try to take discussions of racism outside of fandom and try to include fandom discourse or try to silence us when it is about fandom.
- Fandom fandom get your latent racism and transmisomisogyny wands wait they might not like that one.
- The parasocial fandoms each contestant have amassed has lead to disgusting racism to their faves supposed enemy.
- I am begging people to stop using predatory creatures as an allegory for brown people in their racism allegory stories.
3. La Representación y Crítica del Racismo en los Medios.
Análisis de cómo los medios abordan (o fallan en abordar) el racismo, desde alegorías fallidas hasta la normalización de estereotipos y la dificultad de los creadores para representarlo de manera auténtica.
- The way their comments make it so clear that this isnt them exploring themes of racism and bigotry through fantasy but just them projecting their own racist bigotry onto their character.
- You can explore racism and bigotry in a fantasy setting but then theres mimicking actual things done to black slaves and verbatim saying i like playing my elf as a legitimate racist.
- Its a very very political series true, and i really like that about it. I didnt know it was supposed to be an allegory about that specifically actually, i thought it was about racism and similar discrimination in general, but that makes a lot of sense.
- Unconscious racial bias colors many, many works of art and fiction. Even from the good guys.
- Gamers when early 200s game developer racism is reflected into their fantasy game and its sometimes questionable lore it is not racism. It is nuanced.
- Some of these people are projecting their own racism into their little fictional world using existing fiction non-racist and they make it racist because theyre fucking racists.
- Even poor or completely absent representation of non-white characters can be racism, and i wish more white people would understand this, instead of getting triggered by articles titles they didnt even open.
- Saying that there is inherent racism in this book and it unfortunately leans into white superiority which alas is something british authors of that era cannot possibly imagine past.
- Yeah when your fantasy racism is just a mimicking of real racism its a problem. That being said if your story is going to deal with it then cool, just land the plane right.
- Honestly wouldnt bother me as much if racism wasnt a central theme but if you are going to tackle the subject matter, maybe you should have a better understanding of it than 80-90s hollywood movies.
4. La Naturaleza del Racismo y su Persistencia.
Reflexiones sobre la irracionalidad, la naturaleza sistémica y la persistencia del racismo en la sociedad, así como la dificultad de erradicarlo y la tendencia a normalizarlo o justificarlo.
- Racism will always exist, but its the way they double down when others point out how certain fandom portrayalshcs might not be so great.
- Racism is a part of the current ao3 discourse but i havent seen behaviour as bad as any of this yet so thats not the event that im referring to.
- Racism is so fucking stupid and dangerous. Im sorry you had to give up something you enjoyed because assholes ruined it.
- Racism is violence, pure and simple. Stand next to it and you are accountable.
- Obviously racism bad but its just that extra cherry on top that irks me as a fellow creator do better lol.
- Racism is based white nationalist whos too pussy to admit hes one.
- Racism is more of a core value to white people than nearly anything else .im so glad i never got the appeal of harry potter.
- Racism is so resoundingly, spectacularly stupid.
- Racism is not racism unless its malicious, direct, and intentioned and if you dont fill every box then it isnt racism and that pisses me the fuck off.
- Racism is indefensible.
