first art post here and It's a most recent recurring obession of Vampire the Masquarade. My elder Tizmisce in current day and her time as a fledgeling in salem. More to come when I can get the time!

Fandom has always been exhausting to me. But I've had thoughts about Antis from a post on my mainblog that I can't just restrict to the Tags.
The notion of Antis isn't just purirty culture and american paranoia to anything outside of their norm. It's also very white.
For everyone in the back, I am black and navigating fandom especially now has always been a headache in terms of shipping and just who people gravitate to in fandom.
Now I like my fucked up villians. I like my ships like I like my radioactive waste. I have enough OCs in relationships that rival the fucked standard to Harley and the Joker. I like mine hot and steamy and will happily write such in my spare time.
The problem is that all of this gets antis in a tizzy. Now add in any POC in there and you've got a soup of fuckers in your inbox telling you that you're wrong for liking any of this. Or that you're a terrible person for even engaging in such.
The Examples I can think of
Let me tell you something, alot of this does come from that conformity to whiteness as goodness as well as american assimilation to the precived norm. To sand down the edges to fit comforably in their mold. Most of the time People of Color cannot do this for this and by extension get rejected or called bad works. It frankly isn't fair. Its a standard thats not only censoring but stupid if you believe that expression is important.
I don't know and at this point, It's just fuck it we ball hour
