So, I was thinking about BBC Sherlock fandom’s hate-on for Sally Donovan, and just earlier today I was talking with Maria about Tara Thorton’s shitty treatment in True Blood.
And then I made myself a list.
You’re not fooling anyone, fandom. I know what’s up.
They want these women to be invisible and get upset when they’re not. Then they’re bitches, sexless (i.e. no chemistry with ANYONE), or sluts. And it’s not like the show writers don’t have the same problem, those tropes are a consistent fallback when it comes to any major characterization of black female characters. But when they step out of those tropes (Bonnie becoming more assertive, not just a support system for the white female lead; Martha wanting the Doctor to see her in a romantic way, not just as a support system for the white lead; Gwen being the LOVE object of several male characters, not just a support system for the white lead) fandom goes apeshit cause their worldview is being messed with. These women are not supposed to be important, loved, complicated in their minds, just easily forgotten once the episode is over.
Fandom hates black people.

of-praxis states,
this is the stupidest painting i’ve ever seen. to think that someone took time out of their damn day to make this ugly and dumb piece of shit.

Is that President Obama stepping on the Constitution of the United States of America/ Declaration of Independence with former presidents Clinton, Franklin Roosevelt, Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson cheering him on?
I think this is actually pretty awesome. Thinking its racist is making you racist, dumbass.
silly me, i forgot thats how racism works
Suddenly, the sole Black president who has governed like so many other white presidents is destroying our nation, bringing the white man down. Right.
This is the epitome of racism.
What about that poor sad white boy? What about his feelings? /sarcasm
HAAAAAA. Oh my GOD, you brainless idiots make me laugh so much.
Let me first start by saying that the man on the bench is a middle-class, blue collar, working man. Who has been forgotten in the wake of Obama’s policies, while the president sets his foot on the Constitution of the United States, and some of our best presidents are like WTF ARE YOU DOING YOU SNOT-NOSED ASS WIPE. It is true that Obama is the only black man to ever be elected as president, and as such, you people would think that seeing him in the crowd of our past white presidents is racism.
And yes, Clinton, Woodrow, and the Roosevelts are cheering him on because they, in essence, belong in the same political party. Liberal/progressive/socialist.
Did any of you bother to research this painting? Anybody?
No, didn’t think so. Good thing I already knew all of this shit.
Goddamn, you people really are that stupid, aren’t you? Why am I not surprised? Fuck.
‘some of our best presidents’
‘progressive/socialist’
tumblr makes me sad
because people like you exist in the real world
this pic is so inaccurate where’s fdr’s wheelchair
and how can i be cool enough to chill with the socialists in the corner
Vice President Biden exchanged tweets with a fictional character on Thursday.
A Twitter user identified as Joshua Lyman, “Chief of Staff, Dark Prince of American Politics and 101st Senator,” sent Biden a question during a White House question-and-answer session, and the vice president replied personally.
Joshua Lyman is a fictional character played by Bradley Whitford as the deputy chief of staff to the president on the NBC drama “The West Wing,” which ran 1999-2006. The Lyman twitter account is not formally affiliated with the television show.
The faux Lyman tweeted: “Does President Obama’s proposal to keep kids in High School until 18 include an opt out for kids who want to get a GED? #whchat”
Biden tweeted: “Yes, until 18 or graduation — includes GED. But staying in school increases earning power. -vp #whchat #bestidea”
