[early access] How Do We Criticize Our Own? (Also, Stop Calling Lizzo a Mammy)
Added 2021-09-15 02:03:01 +0000 UTCNervous this video is a little too rant-y but I'm just gonna share it with you all. Plus, that thumbnail!
Originally, this video was going to just be about Black criticism, but as more things started happening at the intersection of my Blackness and queerness I decided that I wanted to talk about them both.
We see a lot of discourse about creators of color feeling stifled by the hyper criticism they can receive from their communities. As fans, creators, critics what we enjoy becomes inherently political. So let's discuss the relationships that exist between criticism and critics, as well as exploring the frustration how we can move forward with being critical of our communities without turning it into gatekeeping or war.

2021-09-15 19:48:41 +0000 UTCForever grateful to Angelica Jade Bastién for being the only other Mortal Kombat fan I knew to think the new movie was bland as hell. (Notably MK was one of the few times I've disagreed with you over a recent release 😉)
