So as you can tell by our name we deal with racism within any fandom people want to talk to us about and we’ve gotten an ask about what you had to say about Poussey’s death. I had to go three pages into your blog to find what you originally said so I’ve seen everything that’s been sent to you and everything you’ve said on the matter.
I’m gonna address everything but also while I’m addressing you I’m not gonna call you out of your name. I’m not gonna wish death on you or threaten you. No racial or gendered slurs are going to be used against you past the read more.
Get it out of your head that it’s progressive to kill off Black characters for non Black audiences to learn lessons. That’s disgusting. And it’s insulting.

It was when I was 12 and I got cast in The Hunger Games, and people called me the N-word and said that the death of my character, Rue, would be less sad because I was black. That was the first moment I realized being black was such a crucial part of my identity in terms of the way that I was perceived and how it would affect any line of work that I wanted to pursue. I often find myself in situations where I am the token black person. It can feel like this enormous weight. I have definitely had moments when my hair felt too big or like I needed to make myself smaller and easier to digest.

Dammit, world, we can’t even collectively sit and try to hypnotize ourselves into forgetting the most awkward moment ever because you have to go and be racist. Wtf. Stop it.
