Signal boost to the f-list

[esmenet]

furiosity : On serious discussion 'ruining' fandom.

kanata: A round-up of the current racefail.

glockgal: An awesome reaction-work to the current racefail. (No, seriously, this is GODDAMN AWESOME. Take note, world: this is how you racebend.)

dark_agenda: This is where you go to follow glockgal's example.

And THIS is how you apologize for writing something problematic. It always makes me happy when someone figures out what they've done wrong.

. . . It's strange, realising that my f-list and my Dreamwidth reading circle are sometimes extremely different. I don't need to post these links to DW, because I can successfully assume that everyone there has already read them.

Thanks for the links. I'd still managed to avoid seeing them aside from Dark Agenda, as 90% of my DW reading page is Scans Daily (http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/profile), ahaha. (Although US comics being what they are, that doesn't exclude discussions on racism, homophobia, and sexism. FAR from it.)

That comic is awesome. It reassures me about Dark Agenda. The premise of focusing on white characters to promote the depictions of people of colour is, y'know, off in a way. but what's portrayed in the comic is a great way to show 'hello duh, of course it has implications on the characters if you change their race. How the hell do you think this is neutral?'.
