Idiot: Why does fantasy need homophobia, racism and sexism?!

Me: Because you need someone to oppose? Not to mention if you are an evil character then be evil.

Okay im reblogging this because I didn’t want the chain but like… racism… is… definitely a prevalent thing amongst like all cultures everywhere. Every culture, even subconsciously, is a bit racist because stereotypes are a thing and very pervasive. To make a world realistic there is going to be racism. There is likely going to be sexism somewhere too. Not every culture is blatantly super racist or anything. And it’s definitely not always structural either, but it’ll probably be there unless they’re a super well socialized people with everyone around them.

It’s realism. Of course it’s boring to base an entire story around it, but having it present is part of world building. Also if a story makes you hate one of the characters for who they are or what they believe… good… thats how you’re SUPPOSED to feel reading it.

Also a racist/homophobic/sexist player character can… evolve?  It can create a good arc for said character?

For fuck’s sake GARRUS had shades of this in Mass Effect 1 and he evolved out of it.  Or you see it in Klingons in Star Trek.  Or Paladin Danse in Fallout 4?

Like, all these characters can start out bigoted and it can be a good thing for the story.

Not to mention that the difficulties presented specifically by discrimination are kinda core to the experience of many fictional groups. Look at Fallout, now take away all the prejudice against ghouls and what do you get? A superhuman race that trades hair for immortality, immunity to environmental hazards, and regeneration. Look at almost any D&D setting, take away all the prejudice both against and by the orcs, and they’re just like humanity except stronger, tougher, and more numerous. Look at Mass Effect, take away the prejudice surrounding the Quarians, and the entire fascinating culture of the Migrant Fleet collapses (not to mention every part of the story relating to the Geth in any way).

The point of fiction is not to create a utopia that doesn’t exist and does nothing for the real world. The primary purpose of fiction is to tell an interesting story, interesting stories require conflict, and the majority of conflict in our world is the product of misunderstanding or prejudice.

The secondary purpose of fiction is to simulate serious issues, whether real-world or hypothetical, and propose solutions which do not negatively impact real people if they would fail, thereby spreading ideas about potential ways to improve life for real people.

That said, you totally can remove the aspects of real world prejudice which you don’t like or don’t make sense for the setting. Transphobia would be pretty damn rare in D&D for example, because there’s magic that makes a flawless, instant transition pretty easy. And Mass Effect is pretty much free of homophobia (in-setting anyway, not time to talk about the voice actors…) because the Alliance is an extrapolation of human culture a couple hundred years forward and we’re rapidly removing all the remaining homophobia in our culture today.

You said you had misread the ship question but had a long answer thought out.(UwU) Now I am curious to both what you thought you read, and what the long answer would have been! (*w*) (Summary is ok too) (Tgis is a different anon, one of your mutuals. I like your itachi a lot! )

[[ The long answer was basically… more or less “what would it take for Itachi to stay with a partner for a very long time”.

I thought about making illustrations but I type way faster than I draw and it would just be too much effort.

Now, for the purpose of this…..scenario (ugh) the assumption is there was tension between the Uchiha and the Leaf,  but a solution was found and thus the massacre was avoided. So a non-mass AU. This allows Itachi to stay inside the village since trying to ship with him in a canon timeline is basically impossible.) 

It’s also 99% sure that Itachi would’ve ended up with a girl, but I’ll use gender neutral language anyways. 

But I’ll list the criteria again.

Personality/Behavior

Itachi needs a partner who’s personality will either

a) compliment his

or

b) not clash with his

People like Izumi and Shisui, for example. Izumi has an easygoing, calm, kind of demure personality. Shisui has a vibrant, outgoing, honest personality and always backs up Itachi and his decisions. These are good people for him.

Itachi, as evidenced by the Uchiha clan meetings, does not like being insulted, screamed at, or belittled.

Especially not from people he is close with/has gotten close to. A partner who is too aggressive or who immediately turns to starting fights or insulting/screaming at him is not someone who he’s gonna want to be around with for very long. 

His partner’s view of the Uchiha has to be neutral/positive and free of stereotypes. The partner must not also attempt to apply those negative stereotypes to Itachi. 

Quite obviously…. Itachi isn’t going to be with someone who detests the Uchiha. Itachi is an Uchiha.

When it’s coming from complete strangers? Itachi can brush things like this off and label them as something else. When it’s coming from someone he is in the process of getting close to or is close to, it’s an issue. Especially if the partner is trying to apply negative stereotypes of the Uchiha to Itachi.

I’ve had ships (and an attempted ship) where it was clear the muse, really, really hated the Uchiha. It was awful. 

Itachi prides himself (silly boy) on being different than the other, adult Uchiha, so to be labeled like this anywayas is a low blow. He has his own personal gripes with the Uchiha and unless the partner is Uchiha to begin with, this really isn’t the partner’s place to discuss. Plus that segues into the most important topic….

Sasuke.

How does Itachi’s partner view Sasuke? This is the ultimate deal breaker. If the partner hates Sasuke, it’s over, then and there. He can’t be with someone who absolutely hates his little brother, since his little brother is the most important person in his life. 

But what about if it’s Sasuke who disapproves of the partner? This one is different, because it doesn’t automatically mean that it’s over, but how the partner reacts to Sasuke’s jealousy and aggression will be the key. The partner doesn’t have to be absolutely head over heels for Sasuke, but play nice where possible. Care for him a good amount, and if they really, really can’t, then be polite. The moment the partner starts aggressing back too much (even if it is justified), it will negatively impact Itachi’s opinion on them. 

Is it healthy? No. But it’s Itachi, and Sasuke will always be his #1. ]]

Does Itachi fall out of love with people he falls in love in with (you know like the time people normally feel in love is just a short couple of years) or does he stick to the person for the rest of his life? Not counting canon bc canon’s difficult…

[[ I had…. a long answer thought out because I initially misread this question, but…

Itachi staying with a partner depends on 3 criteria. 

1) Is his partner’s personality amenable to his? Does it compliment it and not clash too terribly? A partner who is constantly screaming or insulting him is one he won’t stay with long.

2) Does his partner have a neutral or fairly positive view of the Uchiha, without resorting to stereotypes? They can’t apply these stereotypes to Itachi, either.

3) What is his partner’s opinion of Sasuke, and how well do they get along? If Sasuke is the person who doesn’t approve of his partner, how does his partner react to that? If the partner can shrug it off and try to make nice, things should be ok. If the partner aggresses back, there will be problems.

If all three of these criteria are met, Itachi is someone who will remain basically monogamous and really easily. ]]
