Thank you for reading. I won't lie- I would prefer if you explained your disagreements about minority and fetish to see if you misunderstood or actually disagree with me ^^ Because it's something I feel strongly about as a Black person, not just as a 'minority'. It was specifically in relation to my race, but I brought it up in case other minorities felt similarly about this and to have non-Black people think about fetishes that don't affect them.
I think the relationship between the being a minority and fetish-work itself is complicated, but the reason I mentioned it is because on SNS there are often rallying cries behind posts with big lists of fetishes that are viewed as 'weird' that people should support, but it just ends up bothering me because 'raceplay' and adjacent fetishes are never mentioned despite it being such a popular fetish and something I have to actively watch out for when interacting with others online- because it is so common but just not acknowledged at all. As a cis girl, it affects me differently from black men too, but it is much more defined and visible for them to the point where it's mentioned in casual conversations now.
Entire countries depictions of black people are often majority fetish related or show the consequences of fetish work (ie Japan/Korea) and it affects how we are viewed and interacted with by others. In these large conversations, people love to pretend it doesn't exist or not discuss it which makes me very uncomfortable because we are often erased anyways, but at the same time, some of the fetishized depictions are very beautiful depictions, but they'll never be mainstream because the casual fetishization is what is in mainstream media and that stuff continues to result in us being viewed negatively. This I've seen happen with other minorities too, but the fetishization of us in particular is so mainstream and normalized that it the erasure isn't even questioned anymore.
Despite it being something no one talks about despite it's popularity, it's not affected by the Paypro stuff AT ALL which to me is significant, even if I left is as subtext in the zine itself. It's something a lot of people engage in, but because it's not queer, it's not being targeted which allows it to be left out of these convos.. You can't say words related to familial relations on a lot of Xvideo sites but you can say 'black slave' freely. The relationship queer people have with fetishization and Black people is different- hence I didn't go into it very much because it wasn't a Main point and this zine was focused on the disproportionate queer work being harmed that includes fetish and non-fetish work, but I mentioned it to bring this into the viewer's mind's eyes.
But I can also have my opinion changed or altered, but well, I can't gleam anything from your comment ^^ I'd like to hear what your disagree with so I can think about it because we have been erased in these conversations, and you are the first person to bring it up in this comment section and I've been curious about how people would respond to it for a while!
