Curate, connect, and discover
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.
