20: Race in Fandom ft. Herbgerblin & Marywhal

It’s ye ole race episode – we talk to two BIPOC fandom creators about how to navigate race on the internet! What do you do when people assume you’re white online? What happens when the thing you’re a fan of constantly pulls racist shit? What responsibility do fans have to correct creators' mistakes? We talk about all of that and more, but also, Isabel somehow manages to inject the BTS McDonald’s meal and Doritos into the conversation.    Show Notes Allison’s Tumblr: https://marywhal.tumblr.com/ Joc’s Tumblr: https://herbgerblin.tumblr.com/ BTS McDonald’s Meal: https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/bts-meal.html Doritos 3D: https://www.doritos.com/products/doritos3d   Reading Recommendations from Iz, Joc, & Allison  “Minor Feelings” by Cathy Park Hong “An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States” by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz “Decolonization is not a metaphor” by Eve Tuck and K.
