I definitely knew of a few slash fanwriters in various fandoms in the early/mid-2000's who were against actual gay marriage rights bc they thought that real gay men were disgusting. The dreamland of fandom free from racism, misogyny, homo- & transphobia never existed.
10 years ago, fandoms didn't have time for hate and clout. We were too busy finding the right winRAR and HJsplit software to download a DVD rip from a kind local fan and finding the right softsubs made by that ONE fandom translator. You'd be lucky if you can get hardsubs.

If AO3 is the archive of *our* own, we need to have a serious discussion about whether we want fic that reinforces white supremacy on there.
There's a difference between censorship and deciding that nazis need to get the hell out of your party, and we need to have that talk.

The people peddling the "fandom used to be unsullied by racism, misogyny, and homo- & transphobia" are using the same tactics as the alt right when they sell you on a glorified past vision of your society which never existed, or was actively worse than it is today.

One of the largest pushbacks wrt the proposal to AO3 hiring consultants, paying staff and finding a contractor to improve their racism problem is, "But they're a non-profit, where does the $ come from?"
It turns out they have $1.5 MILLION in reserve that they're not using.
So yes. They do have 1.5mil in their reserves which they state can be used to fund the archive for 2-3 years or for large purchases. Again, that’s a large and unusual amount of reserves for a nonprofit to have. Typical nonprofits aim for 3-6 months of operating costs

THIS. Every single time I post about tackling racism in fandom I alwaysget someone in my replies going, "...and the icky sex, right?"
No. FIGHT RACISM. Let people ship things.
Are there people with laundry lists of ~problematic~ content they want to see banned from ao3, making it a sterile wasteland? Yes. But conflating them with people who want sensible improvements (and for ao3/otw to uphold their extant promises) is intellectual laziness.

Boosting this thread that fandom is considered queer-friendly these days because we fought for that. We had to CREATE that culture and space.
Fandom as a queer space did not spring forth fully formed, it was MADE. Be sus of people that tell you otherwise bc that is a tool of disempowerment.
If it did not change in the past it cannot be changed now and we are helpless against the racism and bigotries of modern fandom

A common argument I also see to impede progress on AO3 is that racism is a societal problem, so it's not AO3's place to fix it. This is the wrong argument. The point of reconsidering the TOS or beefing moderation is to *discourage* racism and racist expression ON THE PLATFORM.
Feel like now would be a good time to remember what happened when Reddit banned hate speech.

The lack of effectiveness of the AO3 abuse team is so bad that I have seen folks effectively shrug and give up when they are being harassed. They resign themselves to a long wait for a reply, more harassment, and a milquetoast response. The OTW needs to do better.

There is no legal obligation for the AO3 to host everything. That's a policy that they themselves have decided. I get why they've done so, but AO3 continues, in the name of inclusiveness, to ignore hurt and harm done to other fans when hosting anti-black and anti-semitic content.

Deciding that the KKK and Nazis need to get the hell out of your party doesn't automatically mean that the queers need to get out too. We can decide where to draw the line. This isn't an all or nothing, opening the floodgates kind of deal. We can just say "NO KKK and NAZIS".

And bc everybody's knee-jerk reaction is "OMG CENSORSHIP!" let me just reiterate: I am asking AO3 to consider kicking out those Nazi and KKK members from the party they are hosting, because it's making me uncomfortable. In a real life scenario, this is not an unreasonable ask.

A word of advice: never show up at a 英雄/武林大会 Heroes Conference if you're in a wuxia. Good things never happen there, regardless of whether you're the Guest of Honor or the Keynote Speaker. Don't go to the pre/post-con workshops, and certainly none of the social activities.

There are currently over 3,000 fics on AO3 with either "End OTW Racism" or "End Racism in the OTW" in their titles.
I am floored, amazed, and hopeful that this will catch the attention of the OTW volunteers and galvanize them to action.

Finally, stop conflating this issue with anti-ness. Hanging up a "NO KKK OR NAZIS" sign is completely different from the protect-the-children-what-about-morality rightwing mentality the antis have.

AO3 is extremely opaque when it comes their future financial planning, as well as having any timelines or milestones toward paying their staff or future consultants.
what i am learning from the otw finance committee open chat/q&a today:
- they still have over $1 million usd in budget surplus that has not been allocated for a specific purpose, which would cover at least a year's worth of operating expenses should they stop fundraising

I like this analogy: you are at a party, and there is some lady knitting a swastika. She might be sweet and polite, but she's knitting a swastika. Everybody can see it. This makes people uncomfortable. It is reasonable to ask that the lady and her knitting be removed.

This is the biggest thing that irks me. I often see legitimate criticisms of AO3, and discussions of how to mitigate racism in fandom conflated with the puriteen bad takes. These are NOT THE SAME. The ppl selling you on that are racists who want to maintain the status quo.
(Are there puritanical censorious antis out there attacking people over harmless shit? Yes. But they don't have the institutional power that we have built for ourselves in fanspaces over the years, & they are NOT the same as fen of color making reasonable requests.)

Maybe we can strike a compromise where the lady stays, but we toss her swastika out the window. Maybe she can knit flowery hats instead. But the point is, that swastika is uncool and needs to go, because it's freaking out the other ppl at the party, and we care about each other.

It's not unreasonable to ask the OTW for more transparency and clarity on how it's going to spend the fans' hard earned money. Some folks don't care, that's fine, but don't harass the people who do and want to hold the org accountable for the things they said they were gonna do.

But one thing is for sure: their lack of movement on the racism, harassment & abuse issues aren't due to a lack of funds. They are coming out the ears with money. It's due to mismanagement, and at this point, I may conclude even a possibly malicious resistance to change.

Every time there is something controversial in c-fandom, where people of Chinese descent raise concerns, we are characterized as an angry yellow mob. If you buy into that story, that's your choice, but know that it comes from a deeply embedded set of racist narratives.
once again, it’s going around that Chinese/Chinese diaspora in fandom are “controlled” by a single person
that’s the actual word I’ve seen used, multiple times

It's great to be able to talk about how dysfunctional the OTW is, but it's a privilege to be able to call for reform of the entire org as a white person. POC don't get to talk about that without being harassed out of fandom, so don't pretend that's a failing of

Top tip: if you're tired of doing research, take a break. Grab some water, go for a walk, reset, and then go back to the research when you're ready. Nothing says microaggression like, "I don't give a shit about your culture, I just wanna post my fic and get my validation." (1/2)

So apparently their beef is that the

An excellent thread that very strongly echoes my experience growing up Chinese in a predominantly white culture, and the racism and frustration encountered in c-fandom spaces, when non-CN people have continued to center themselves.
i look at my own experiences of racism within the fandom, how even with strong support from cn diaspora and non-cn diaspora friends, i've wanted to take breaks,
especially when individuals ignore our concerns—or worse, tell us we're overreacting, being a thoughtless mob—

I just got a letter confirming I am now a Swedish citizen! 🇸🇪
The application took 5 weeks and cost less than the Nintendo Switch I treated myself to before Christmas. Really shows that the complicated bureaucracy some countries have is just xenophobic gatekeeping.
Applying for citizenship is often an arduous and expensive experience. It costs £1,330 and is 30 pages in the UK, and . $725 and 20 pages for the USA.

We need to keep holding the OTW accountable, particularly for the hiring of the diversity consultant and the implementation of their suggestions and proposals. This means raising awareness of the problem of racism in fandom and continuing to speak out.

I came out as non-binary/genderfluid to my line manager today and she was so emotionally supportive and is going to start using they/them pronouns at work for me. 🥺
There's hope yet in this world, folx.

Sylle has said it better than I could have, so imma drop their tweet here. Using two frequently harassed POC fans as a wedge issue to discredit the aims of
#EndOTWRacism
is a low blow.
this is a lot of words to obfuscate a fear of """censorship""" and of actions that need to happen for AO3 to align with its supposed anti-racist goals. anti-racism must reach far and deep to be at all effective.

One of the reasons anti-discriminatory policies exist is too make spaces and platforms safer for everyone. They're not trying to solve the core problem, but making the space better instead. This is what we need to recognize.

I forgot to share this gem from FMP's post yesterday that apparently his nickname is Copy Ninja Sharingan no Kakashi (yes, from Naruto) because Sleuth did action choreo on the fly during filming and he was very quick at learning the movements he was taught. #傅孟柏

Rahaeli doubling down on the stitch dog pile is enraging and senseless. If she truly cared about fandom racism, she wouldn't have suddenly swerved to undermine
#endotwracism
while mischaracterizing one of the only fans talking abt racism in fandom spaces. 'Good faith' my ass. 🙄

Interviewer: Stability AI (one of the companies in a class action being sued by artists) claims that creating databases of copyrighted images to train AI is considered fair use.
OTW Legal Chair, Betsy Rosenblatt: I tend to agree with Stability AI's statement.

BULLSHIT. The fight against racism isn't supposed to be comfortable nor is it easy. Letting racism in fandom slide or doubling down on having unintentionally done a racism makes the racism problem worse. Because the actual racists then see that they can get away with it.
