Riveress :

Cuz if we had fae elves or werewolves racism would get SO much worse 😭

hobbit.at.heart ⋆✴︎˚｡ ⁸ ⋆ ⟭⟬ :

You’re not wrong!!!!! And I bet it’s bc they imagine all of them as white men too despite the descriptors. Fantasy races are almost fetishized anymore.

Jess :

Genuinely the book tok community is genuinely just weird in general. We claim to hate men and all this other bs but we glorify grape and sa in books over and over again. Prime example is the Haunting of Adeline

Magickturtle :

its the Wuthering Heights issue. they imagine these creatures as white bc that's their "fantasy" despite the obvious dark skin characteristics. or if they do see the dark skin, its fetishized. its only as tolerated as it can serve them

Kylee :

I need to get you on one of my Q&As 😅

Vane₊˚⊹♡ :

YES!! I live in a black and brown community. Whenever a book girly visits me, they all have that kind of face of uncomfortable racism.🙄

Jolly Yellow Nerd :

For a lot of booktok girlies those non human races are just proxies for men outside their race. They want something "exotic" and "dangerous".

odinsat :

hear me out... if these entities existed what slurs would have been created for them?

Prose Without Thorns (Denise) :

OOOP!!

MajorJae3x :

They forget that most of those creatures aren’t actually friendly to humans… or each other for that matter😂

Isa :

Nailed it, lmfao. 😭

Char :

In a book series I’m working on, I cover this exact topic. And I also cover how BookTok girlies don’t even know the horrifying lore that some mythological creatures actually have and turn their desire on its head.

Redwar :

But really [Innocent]

CoriW :

seriously tho

Fi-Romantasyauthor :

Say it again. 😩

Agent Maine Apologizer :

I remember showing one of my friends one of the families I had in a Creepypasta variant story, and I explained how they were connected from the Direwolf, and the exact predecessor was a black mixed woman, and her kid would be a black mixed male who would carry on that Direwolf gene. She thought I was kidding when I told her that, and then when I showed her the designs of how the family looked she PHYSICALLY RECOILED and said “I thought werewolves were hot.” HELLO???? HE IS HOT????

A.H. Coffee | 📚 :

Paula G.A. from V.A. :

I'm not booktok but I'm an author who has a fae prince character who looks like you... ijs

Jones | writer :

If any fantasy species existed they would be hunted to extinction or put on display

Zack Lawrence Books 📚 ✍️ :

jokes on you women, the Fae best friend of my MC is GORGEOUS, hilarious and GAY AF. 💅 he's gonna walk across the street from you, like yall doing to my friend. bc fu thats why

Althea Malva :

I play too much video games and read too much Opal Reyne to be weirded out by a fairy or a dragon on the street. I also. (i say this with love,) I would not cross the street from you because I would assume you were gay. you're too clean. I'm sorry. if we're talking about first impressions. if I saw you in the woods I would try to help you because I would assume this put together young man who knows how to wash his face properly was clearly kidnapped.

Shean Johnson :

Had one dating almost exclusively black men only to eventually swap up to exclusively white once she wanted to make amends with her admittedly racist grandma

Nai.reads.okay🤎📚 :

Make it make sense !!!! Say it louder for the dummies in the back

Mari :

“Guys imagine if we had different skin colors 🥰” is a real comment I’ve read over and over again in different places and across platforms since pretty much for as long as I’ve been in fandom (13~ish years now lol) perpetuating this blissful ignorance and dissonance they hold when they would deadass start filming if them and a black person just so happen to be walking the same way 💀

Megamus :

she wants to be safe and we've swen what y'all do when white women are just sitting on a train
