worst fucking thing when gamers try to do a videogame critcism video is when they do not know or acknowledge that publishers and developers are different things, its so frustrating, "why did they do this are they stupid???" who is "they" in this situation???

Every attempt to analyze the class position of artists and other creatives on social media is doomed to failure because "artist" is not actually a meaningful class category to begin with, and artists may in fact fall in different classes depending on their particular situation

Not only are we far more likely to get our own stories “right”, there’s power in a piece of art being by a queer person, for queer audiences; by a Black person, for Black audiences; etc.

That said, the reason I’m more interested in hearing marginalized voices tell our own stories is because of how few opportunities we get to do so, esp. when it comes to projects with major studio/publisher backing.

Now I think it’s super ass rare to find a white person with that kind of range lol. Like Teena Marie rare. But it’s not completely out of the realm.
And yes, consulting with and deferring to Black people in doing such a project is key.

And where storytelling is concerned, I think it’s *possible* for some white people who really “get it”, who are enculturated, learned, and respectful enough to tell a Black story well enough, in a way that isn’t voyeuristic or consumptive.

So yes, while I don’t think a white person will ever fully, 100% understand the “Black experience,” I actually think white people should be trying to. All the fucking time.

Cus I think on the flip side, “good” white people have a tendency to not grow around race/racism because they “don’t understand.” It can be used as a cop out or shield from doing their anti-racism work. “There aren’t any Black characters in my book because that’s not my experience 🤷♂️”

But I think regardless, it’s actually very important for white people *to* engage with the reality of racism regularly: to understand how racism might make your white experience of something different than that of someone of color.
It’s the only way things will change, societally, imo

I think experiencing oppression on a different axis (gender, sexuality, ability, etc.) is helpful in illuminating what racialized oppression might be like. Without that, if you’ve never really experienced any kind of oppression, it’s certainly more difficult.

I think there are many aspects of racism that a white person doing their anti-racism work is capable of “getting” well enough—what it is to be dehumanized, to be marginalized, to be unprivileged in a privileged space, etc.

I think “understanding” has layers to it. And I think “understanding the experience of racism” and “understanding the Black experience” are two dimensions with a lot of overlap.
I’ll answer this question from my individual vantage point as a Black person (and I’ll put most of this in a quoted thread so I’m not blowing up your mentions)…

Part of what I'm trying to learn as a weird autistic person is having some stuff exist as just hobbies because I noticed when I get into things I want to be immersed in them. I think its something that makes me an excellent academic but it gets in the way of simply enjoying something.

I realize more and more these days that I do want different pieces of media to appeal to different needs this is not to say I don't want anime video content to be more politically minded and tackle issues relating to the industry I just dont think these guys are the ones to do it.
On one hand it does suck that Trash Taste is the face of the anime community but on the other I never considered these guys to be a bastion of good analyses if I want my anime are political videos I'm not going to these guys and I kind of wish some of them would realize that.

I'm not saying content creators shouldn't be political their is power in having someone who you don't normally expect to be political get involved in politics. Their is a difference between I'm a vlogger and I'm going to no kings protests because its important and One Piece is political bro.
