If You Appear To Not Notice That You've Reblogged Somebody With "radfem" In Their Literal Actual Username,

If you appear to not notice that you've reblogged somebody with "radfem" in their literal actual username, it's because you're a radfem.

The logical conclusion, then, is that the generic "you" being addressed here does not want minority representation in media.

What they want is to complain about minority representation, because Good People complain about this subject, and they want to be perceived as Good People.

That is not the same as caring about minority representation in media, and it is also not the same as being a Good Person.

You want more minority representation in media but if they have flaws its problematic and if theyre perfect theyre a patronizing mary sue. If they crack under the pressure of the conflict the author thinks that minority is weak and if they overcome the adversity they must be a neoliberal bootlicker who thinks real world bigotry is a matter of personal attitude. You want minority characters but if theyre a villain its violently problematic and if theyre the protagonist then we circle back to the very first sentence. If theyre a side character theyre being sidelined and the author is once again bigoted, and don't you know that every single minority character death is unilaterally bigoted, without exception? You want more minority characters but if their identity is a big part of their personality or struggles then they're problematic and if their identity has nothing to do with their personality or struggles then the author is tokenizing that identity for clout. You want more minority characters but every time theres a minority character who doesnt have every single experience that you have then you tell the author to kill themselves on twitter. You wonder why not even minority authors will write minority characters.

I would ask you to read Catch-22, but you'd just call the military base problematic.

Black and white photo of a young white man sitting on a lawn in bright sunlight, smiling broadly at the camera. He has a tortie kitten in his left hand white a tabby climbs up his shirt next to his neck, and two more kittens are wobbling around on his outstretched legs.

On this day I offer you a cute boy covered in kittens. Photo from my collection, no further info.
