To other white people, cishet or marginalized,
We have a responsibility to raise the voices of the marginalized BIPOC around us.
Our whiteness gives us privilege in any community, so let's use it for good.

Call out racist shit, stand up with marginalized people, women, members of the LGBT+ community. Don't expect a clap on the back, because that is the minimum.
Decenter yourself, listen, learn, and boost.

I'm paraphrasing Krystina Arielle but, invite them to the table in these industries and franchises we love. Make sure they aren't eating alone. Extend the table.
Put them in leadership positions as editors, writers, publishers, ect. Brandon Easton is a start in TF. Lets get more

Lets get people like Vita Ayala, Felipe Smith, Khary Randolph, Mildred Louis (Srsly a TF comic by the creator of Agents of the Realm if they'd want to do it? SIGN ME UP), hell my friend Nigel Carrington!

On the flip side you have the stuff with Rooster Teeth coming out. I hope Netflix and Hasbro are listening and they cut ties with them after the first season of WFC TF. The history of abuse, grooming, and harassment (among other things) in RT and the community is large.
People who've abused and groomed young women in the industry or fans in a community have no space here.
You better believe I stand with victims. I was groomed, I was abused, do not test me. The stories coming out helped me realize just what I went through. I believe them.

Not being a shit isn't rocket science, and that comic pledge thing going around is the DUMBEST thing I've seen. You shouldn't need a pledge to be a decent human being.
