What is very frustrating is that people treat far-right politics as “normal” and therefore “apolitical” so a person can just spew those politics and nobody bats an eye, but if you call it out then suddenly you’re being “political” and the moderation in many of these kinds of communities will then crack down on you.

Antiblackness is unfortunately very universal. Feels like there’s no real safe spaces for us unless we make our own.

It’s increasing exponentially everywhere, racism, misogyny, homphobia, transphobia, xenophobia, rage towards the disabled. The world is getting even more hateful than usual. Even leftist spaces aren’t immune. I had someone on hexbear give me racist abuse for my nationality just because I had a different opinion on a fictional story than they did.

It’s not just fandom spaces. There was a literal Nazi post on here that got wiped a second ago.

I think someone else is better fit to describe what’s going on in the fandoms than me, comrade. I was foing to go with the “paying gacha fans are white petit bourgeois chuds”, but I am not even remotely familiar with the other spaces.

This isn’t even in fandom spaces, but on multiple Youtube channels that I subscribe to. I just saw one posted this morning of Scott Manley interviewing Jared Isaacman at MAX POWER.
