Adding to reporting by @cbouzy & @TaylorLorenz , YouTubers incl. TheQuartering, Geeks+Gamers, & Nerdrotic dominate networks of users driving racism against @LOTRonPrime . These channels have been at the center of harassment against POC actors & fans for yrs. When is enough enough?

This will not surprise many in fandom, but here’s another data point: Yes, the same YouTubers who incited harassment against Kelly Marie Tran, Moses Ingram are also connected to harassment against #RingsOfPower cast, a network analysis of 1k tweets finds.

Love everything SW rn, but worth pointing out that a big reason we’re not seeing backlash is b/c none of this content puts us on a fem gaze heroine’s journey where the woman is the one picking up skills, dealing w/ internal battles & a sad back story, & ultimately being a hero🤷‍♀️

Just a thought: when fabricating an account in an established fandom, perhaps consider that some of us keep historical backlogs of every tweet mentioning said fandom. I searched ~1.8M tweets from 2015-2020 relevant to "Reylo" & "The Last Jedi." There is no lemonado.

When basically only women are attracted to the villain, discourse is hostile. Ppl ask “this is disgusting, how can this be allowed?” This is explained w/ false claims that fiction impacts how “little girls”/women act IRL. These women **must** be psychopaths or abuse apologists.

*Totally understand that women/non-cis/LGBTQA are attracted to Lady Dimitrescu. But straight cis-men have been heavily involved in the thirst vs somebody like The Darkling or Kylo Ren who are mainly romanticized by women/LGBTQA. This makes a huge difference in the discourse.

Men rely heavily on “hysteria.” It’s not just that women are immoral for liking villains, but they are deranged perverts. Women spread this sexist ideology among other “fem”-dominated communities, seemingly w/o realizing its sexist origins. (see: the entire dynamic of Tumblr).

In our society, a woman (cis or non-cis) understanding her desire is terrifying. It’s dangerous. It’s deranged. It’s sin. We have come a long way — but the differences between how we treat men exploring attraction in fiction and women reveals how far we still have to go.

Women exploring sex — especially through “Not Pure” characters — is directly opposed to traditional misogynistic conditioning. By exploring sex, power, attraction via fiction like men are “allowed” to do, women can understand a lot about their desires and themselves.
