Links on fandom’s latest racefail

[rusty_halo]

Signalboosting in case anyone’s missed it: amazonziti has been compiling links related to the J2 racefail story and its fallout.

Her first post is here and contains links to an initial summary of the situation and the early reactions.

Her second post is here and contains more good links as well as some good meta about the misuse of terms like “safe space” and “silencing” by members of privileged groups who are uncomfortable with being criticized. Some of the posts linked are profoundly important in light of the derailing and tone arguing that’s been going on. If you don’t have time to read them all, she’s starred her favorites.

I’m posting links because I don’t really feel comfortable writing meta about this–I think the best way I can respond right now is to read and think, and to signalboost as a way to encourage other privileged people to do the same.
