Unsure what's caused the uptick of interest in my work but some relevant threads if you'd like to understand my take on fandom racism and specifically on the ongoing discussions around A*3's (lack of) policies around racism/anti-blackness on their platform
On how we frame "fandom history" and why it matters that it's white as hell https://twitter.com/RukminiPande/status/1270257194999693312
On why responses of handwringing and "we have to be so careful" regarding ANY potential action to redress historical issues in the A*3 is whiteness in action https://twitter.com/RukminiPande/status/1273734820070219776
On why centering anti-Blackness is crucial in our conversations about race in transnational and transcultural fandom. https://twitter.com/RukminiPande/status/1275714184114814978
On how discussion around ANY potential changes to A*3 policy has been framed, what the org has itself said about its design principles, and what "feminist HCI" means https://twitter.com/RukminiPande/status/1285771556874973184
On more context for my own background and why calling it "western-centric" is simply inaccurate... Also why lumping anti-racist critique with any "side" in the ongoing fandom culture wars around "censorship" is cynical derailing https://twitter.com/RukminiPande/status/1272412759703973888
Those are the greatest hits I think lol... For those who'd like to listen rather than read, a larger discussion on these issues with other aca-fans on the @threepatch podcast https://twitter.com/threepatch/status/1289620366978158592
