A struggling artist trying to make it. Sometimes I'll indulge in fandom amidst artwork postings and sketches. Actually most of the time. Also, I apparently have a lot of feelings about racism and sexism.

Current shows I'm watching are Nikita, Hawaii Five-O, The Walking Dead, Elementary, probably more to come as long as people of color are represented.

Anti white washing, anti white privilege, anti racism, anti sexism, anti all other isms...people just need to be decent people.

face the strange: media representation is a hell of lot more complicated than just being there. →

thewayistare:

friendlyangryfeminist:

Is the character a fully actualized person? Or just a mess of stereotypes thrown together?

Is the character defined solely by one aspect of their identity (i.e. are they the gay one? the Black one? the girl?)

Is the character played by an appropriate actor? (See: Rebecca Romijn playing Alexis Meade, a trans woman on Ugly Betty when there are trans women who could have filled that part)

There’s probably a better checklist somewhere but please don’t just think media representation is about a character BEING there. 

visibility is not enough
