If you don’t think Fandom Racism has a real world impact
- Black actors consistently have the lowest followers of their respective TV show (it took Caleb the longest to get to 1 million followers after Stranger Things came out)
- The above point impacts actors marketability
- Black actors usually have the least questions at conventions - this hurts their mental health and is plain rude
- Fandoms have genuine leverage about how characters are portrayed - if fandoms attack Black actors, next season they face reduced roles or are cut altogether (Ani, 13 reasons why - the problem was with the writing, yet the actress received abuse and got her role heavily reduced in the last season)
- They reduced and sidelined the intimacy between Guinevere and Arthur in the final season of Merlin due to fans attacking the character and shipping Arthur/Merlin
- Actors ability to do their job - newsflash, facing racism on the job is traumatic and horrific. How many stories do we need to hear about actors who no longer want to talk about a project or do it again because their experience, especially with the fans, was toxic (e.g. John Boyega, Candice Patton)
- This is more of an omission but I have seen fandoms keep their foot on actors’ necks to speak out on important topics. Yet it is silent when Black actors are facing racist abuse. It really should not have taken until this year for Grant Gustin to openly affirm his support to Candice Patton as Iris.
- Your shows! You know that thing you stan? When you (and the writers) are racist, Black fans will *leave* and your ratings will go down, and the show will get canceled. So now you have nothing to fan over. Check out how long Sleepy Hollow lasted after they cut Nicole Beharie, or even GMW after the treatment of Angela Moore
Fandom racism is both overt and covert and has actual real world implications. Not just to the self-esteem and wellbeing of Black actor and fans, but people’s finances. If you don’t know, now you know. Call it out.

COME AWAY (2020) / dir. Brenda Chapman
Before Alice went to Wonderland, and before Peter became Pan, they were brother and sister. When their eldest brother dies in a tragic accident, they each seek to save their parents from their downward spirals of despair until finally they are forced to choose between home and imagination, setting the stage for their iconic journeys into Wonderland and Neverland.

Telling somebody what DOESN’T happen is still a spoiler.
