Hey arcane fandom, I was already wary of y’all because of the way you treat some the characters but hearing someone made a serial killer au with Jayce and Viktor defiling black bodies (most being woman) and such is actually disgusting.
Im not saying everyone but just the ones I’m pointing to. It’s worst kowning it was one of my own that wrote that but it’s still weird to note some probably still read it with no issue.
Yes it was a month ago or so but it still bothered me.
I see a lot of this stuff on Tumblr here too and I want to say this
It’s the history that makes it distasteful, knowing black people have been done horrible throughout the years. Eaten, skinned to use as objects , raped , beaten , isolated, force sterilized, killed for fun mind you! And so much more.
I can’t word it how I wish but it’s just the matter of how you write that’ll cause problems. Yes I get it killers , murders , and bad guys are evil but writing it as more of a quirk than actually them being racist is insensitive.
I’m not saying to go out be like “this is Mortan gaver and hes racist that’s it’s tehe” , I mean what else can I say? It’s lazy. Racist don’t need explaining at all but leaving at that will make me question you even more if you try to explain WHY their like that.
(((Yes racism can be taught and such but I’m saying writers explaining it like it’s an excuse is the problem))
Or just a simple thought
DONT USE US AS TRAGEDIES AT ALL?? yes stuff like this happens in real life and some wish to bring awareness but ??? How you write it will be interpreted by your audience remember that.
@vasyandii Thanks for bringing light to that person’s actions. Now let me throw some more in.
Watermelon and fried chicken, why is it offensive to black people?
(Read this to learn about more harmful black stereotypes)
Watermelon and fried chicken was once a staple of income for the freed post civil war. Black farmers wanting to earn money , grew watermelon. It was actually very popular to the point a certain group of people didn’t like that.
Watermelon also wasn’t just something for us to sell. It was a sign of liberty and freedom for us.
______________________________________________
Chicken , chicken was the only livestock slaves could keep or own. Another source of income that eventually was stolen. You know that iconic restaurant KFC is a good example of this. (Search up the origins of the KFC recipe.)
Another item painted in a negative light, and used against us to justify hatred and dehumanization.
(Read this to see the full extent of how this can affect someone of color and more history.)
We have slowly started taking back a lot of things, but with the way these once liberated items been painted to stain. Shame only follows us.
It had never once graced my little head, growing up in the south. Eating these foods with joy that they made me into something others looked down upon.
I was just a child , enjoying food that was made/grown by the people I loved. I love my family, and I love my community.
Thank you all for reading this , and remember to do research and ask. It will not hurt your pride to ask someone of color if what you created/wrote is harmful in any way.
We will not be upset with you for asking us questions regarding our history. But we will , if you intentionally ignore the struggles and causes.
Plus , some aren’t always willing to share their experiences/history. Respect that decision too. We don’t owe anyone anything if we don’t feel like your intentions aren’t great.
