New authors that she claims change stuff in fantasy and they are from: Canada, US, born in US grown up in France, US, US.
Yep, nothing fishy about this selection at all. And funny how earlier she accused authors of othering and racializing etc. when they wrote about cultures not their own, but not here. And trust me, the last author in her list, does racialize, I have come across him in Marvel Comics, he is racist.

Finally, I am done with this shit. It has been a while since I read such a racist book.

I take note that earlier she considered to have red hair be connected to supernatural powers as essentialism and racialization, but now having magic be linked to being born with dreadlocks is fine... typical hypocrisy.

Fan communities... screw this. The author has lied way too often. And I am firmly convinced that she is a white supremacist now as she mentioned not a single non-European, heck, barely any non-Anglo influence on popular culture. Not even the Last Airbender cartoon was cited as a positive example.

Presence of people of color is necessary to break Fantasy´s habit of Whiteness? Didn´t know that all the fantasy fiction produced in Asia and Africa was considered white. Then again, why should an anglocentrist like her care about those continents...

Oh Cultural Appropriation again... funny how what Grimm did was not considered cultural appropriation even thought it was a textbook example of cultural vandalism claiming authenticity.

Grimm is "fulfilling precisely the purpose that the Brother´s Grimm attempted with their original collection: locating/creating the mythology of the Germanic peoples which, they believed, had been suppressed by conversion to Christianity and the rationalism of the Enlightenment?" They sucked at that as several of their stories were deeply christian and became more in their later editions by the two.

Grimm is "littered with markers of Gemran-ness" and has references that are "identifiable as germanic nonetheless"? Is she referring to germanic language? Because english germanic as well? Or is she one of the idiots equating germans with germanics? And not only was their "german" horrible in the show, their creatures had no resemblance to the stories in almost all cases, nor grittier than many stories themselves.

The jiang shi is not a vampire, it is a revenant yes, but not a vampire. And I wouldn´t all those bestial, neither are many Eastern European vampires. How do these idiots get this... oh right, they don´t care.

Lets see, she criticizes Buffy, her next author is from England, and now she shits on Angel, Charmed, True Blood, Lost Girl (what is that?), Once Upon a Time, Grimm and I guess also Sleepy Hollow. How predictable. And no, no Last Airbender or American Dragon here. No Asians allowed apparently.
