in BIG 2025, you have no business behaving like wattpad is some gossip girl blog. i don’t know why it became so normal for people to randomly gang up on authors by making shady announcements instead of handling it privately. what do you gain? or do you just enjoy having your friends backing up and going on some crusade? to what end? validation? on a fanfiction app? please go touch some grass.
          
          it’s extremely childish to decide collectively with your group of friends to make targeted announcements about what an author posts or not on THEIR profile just to have them agreeing with you and thinking your opinion’s the absolute truth.
          
          so many drama started in fandoms over the most stupid things but thinking yourself holier than thou because other people write hp fics is WILD. i don’t even know who started this "old" hp fics are okay but releasing new ones is like kicking a puppy or something. people being like "i’m not gonna release more hp fics but i’ll keep the one(s) i have because it’s dear to me"—so it’s fine for you to keep attracting potential readers to your account (because mostly it is a matter of views and followers) because apparently the series is dear to you, but the series can’t be dear to others for them to release new ones? and even worse, y’all sound hypocritical, because when you’re calling out that woman you fail to mention the long years of racist and stereotypical portrayals of poc she’s been doing for YEARS, and nobody gave a f*ck enough to be like "oh we should boycott". even better, it became some type of trend on tiktok to make fun of hp poc characters names because they are indeed ridiculous. but racism wasn’t enough of a line to be drawn? don’t get me wrong, jkr is a bigot through and through, and her using her whole being to be anti-lgtbtq+ is nasty on every level, but why poc’s complaints is never enough for y’all to decide to boycott someone?

in today's episode of izia definitely doesn't know what a hiatus is / complaining: do not write poc characters (especially black ones), just for the sake of writing poc characters... it honestly shows :standing emoji: 
          
          unless it's some fantasy world, it won't really matter to be honest (depends again on which) but, you can't write an oc whose only "poc traits" are their skin color/names/or whatever generalisation. 
          
          i agree that we all want a better world without any injustice, but you can't afford to just erase years, even centuries of discrimination just because you don't want to deal with that. poc can't afford to forget about it, so nor should you. 
          
          i'm not saying you have to heavily write about discrimination your oc may face, but keep in mind that is something that exists, subtly. and even though, it is something that is internalised. as a poc, when someone compliments you and seems surprised, you just know that they're trying their best to not say "i wasn't expecting that from people like you". or even as a black girl, i may know my worth, i may receive compliments, but i know that for a lot of people, i'm not going to be viewed as "the first choice" whether it be romantically, professionally, etc and it weighs heavily on my choices whether i want it or not
          
          just saying, if you have poc ocs in today's world—make them fully poc, not half, not a quarter, fully. every aspect in their lives will sadly be connected to this, so don't forget it. and when poc authors talk to you about something related to your portrayal, please (shut up) and listen to them, instagram posts don't make you experts on discrimination!! (i hate people like that)
          
          i won't name anyone, but that was just me ranting (again. atp let's just say i'm on semi-hiatus)
          
          ps: AND STOP THINKING BLACK PEOPLE ARE ALL THE SAME CULTURALLY!! BLACK AFRICANS AND BLACK AMERICANS HAVE CENTURIES OF (FORCED) DIVISION BETWEEN THEM!!!
