Genuine question, I apologize if this sounds insincere, but why do you tag your works as black!reader even when the reader’s race or skin color isn’t explicitly mentioned? Do you not think that that might effect the amount of reblogs you get? I know I don’t reblog woc!readers because I know those aren’t written for me, so I don’t add them to my reading list. Sorry if I’m sounding rude, I’m just genuinely curious.

Welp. You do sound rude and you are raggedy for this shit. Sit in that.

Tbh I read stories on here with mood boards with white women in them even though it says reader! on it. It’s prolly not written for me, but I enjoy stories so I’ve read them. Just like every WOC on here who gets to read stories that ‘aren’t for them’. Why? Cause that’s the trend and mostly reblogged around here. 

It’s so crazy. Like do you read scifi? Romance? How do you watch movies? Do you just skip them cause ‘they aren’t for you’ or ‘you can’t relate cause you aren’t Steve Rogers’? 

And the reason my stories are Black!Reader is because I am Black. They are written in the event I decide to describe skin tone, eye color (which is rare). I came on this site knowing I wouldn’t get as much attention and you prove the reason why. My stories have depth, they can be read by anyone who wants to stop and pretend for a bit. Notes?! Pfffffffffffffffft. I don’t have a single story over a 1k in notes, but I know the right people are reading them and it’s fine by me. So please do me a solid and never come back here. Enjoy your privilege.
