  • Dropping mentions of sky fairies on good news but leaving them on bad ones, specifically for the “other” sky fairies than your “own” ones, is better than at least being fair and mentioning the fairies everywhere?

    Dropping mentions of the fairies, especially the competing “other” fairies in bad light, is not going to happen and we all know it. What might be realistic is not limiting the fairies to a weapon of discrimination and alienating the “others” (non-white people), but equally bringing them up on good news too.

    I mean the ideal case would be no mentions of fairies if it’s not strictly relevant, anywhere.

    Right now though, that’s not going to happen, and if we don’t fix the current disbalance and inequality, then we are left with an actively harmful, discriminating situation.

    If we can make things slightly better, even if not perfect, it’s still better than not doing even the slightly better because it’s not perfect.

    Although I guess it’s fair to question my assumption that it’d be more realistic to increase the mentions of other fairies and especially on good news too, than to drop every fairy, especially the Christian white flavored one, from everywhere. I might be wrong in that, but I feel rather strongly I’m not.
