as pow briefly mentions, warner also read pow's tumblr post & proceeded to engage with her on twitter about it. pow does not link to or recreate this interaction, but she describes it much more positively than her encounters with bcb
December 19, 2024 at 12:04 AM
…while bcb’s similar points are described as “a castigation disguised as intersectional intellectualism”?
December 19, 2024 at 12:04 AM
why is warner’s critique of how olivia pope is raced only a “flawed argument”…
December 19, 2024 at 12:04 AM
(aside here: as a “how to get away with murder” fan, i was stunned to learn that annalise was not always conceived as a black character!)
December 19, 2024 at 12:04 AM
however, bcb’s tumblr response DOES bring up other characters who grew up wealthy, like mary jane paul from “being mary jane” and anika from “empire”. why are these not mentioned in pow’s article?
December 19, 2024 at 12:04 AM
and, pow misrepresents some of bcb’s arguments. for example, pow accuses bcb of leaving class "unaddressed" by only comparing pope’s portrayal of blackness with black women characters who grew up poor (which pope did not)
December 19, 2024 at 12:04 AM
pow also, without any reason for it, brings up that bcb was 21yo at the time while pow herself was 36yo – which to me also reads as trying to deligitimize bcb's points & contribute to framing bcb as an antifan
December 19, 2024 at 12:04 AM
and yk, i myself have absolutely said things that were belittling to people i'm debating with in fandom!

but i question pow presenting her 2015 tumblr response so neutrally in a 2024 article where she states that she is critiquing herself as well
December 19, 2024 at 12:04 AM
...and accuses bcb of trying to stifle debate, a claim that i can find no backing for in either of bcb's responses
December 19, 2024 at 12:04 AM
if you go and read the original tumblr thread, pow’s response is far from as neutral as she portrays it in the article. she continuously belittles bcb's understanding of academia...
December 19, 2024 at 12:04 AM
but other than naming that her ego was hurt, pow characterizes her own response to bcb simply as “i wrote a response a day later, conceding some points, presenting my own evidence, and pointing out bcb's inconsistent arguments”
December 19, 2024 at 12:04 AM
bcb’s interactions with pow are also framed as hostile, going “into an intensely personal realm”. i definitely sympathize with the emotion & anxiety that pow describes feeling – i've felt it myself during fandom debates, particularly about race
December 19, 2024 at 12:04 AM
to give credit to pow, she does critique her own motivations as well. for example, she is clear about the fact that her reasons for responding to bcb were partially bruised ego and desire to protect her reputation
December 19, 2024 at 12:04 AM
…which positions bcb as an antifan who engages in disparaging the show to form social bonds with other antifans (which pow relates, again, to virtue signaling)
December 19, 2024 at 12:04 AM
5) bcb is no longer a fan of scandal, and as such, bcb’s scandal fan production is now centered upon “disaffection for pope’s black femininity”…
December 19, 2024 at 12:04 AM
4) bcb could gain “online social currency and clout” from challenging a big name fan like pow
December 19, 2024 at 12:04 AM
for one, pow presents bcb’s motivations as markedly negative. pow assumes that bcb had five reasons for responding to pow's original post:

1) bcb is personal friends with warner & wanted to defend her
2) bcb sees pow as a stand-in for shonda rhimes
3) bcb is virtue-signaling to other fans
December 19, 2024 at 12:04 AM
pow discusses this not only in her own positionality as an acafan, but in relation to how warner is perceived by other fans in the thread as a “sell-out” and possibly as an outsider to scandal fandom
December 19, 2024 at 12:04 AM
she illustrates this with an example of a time when she embraced fantagonism & formed social bonds with other black women in scandal fandom through a “community of hate” against the character jake ballard
