stitchmediamix:Bodhi Rook – Looks Like A Cinnamon Roll…Riz Ahmed’s Bodhi Rook is a breakout star in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Without his character’s mission and his persistence, the resistance would be dead in outer space. He’s shown to be a capable pilot and a brave soul who decides to go against everything he’s known while working under the Empire in order to be a hero.And fandom treats him as if he’s a toddler.I’m back with another essay series on race and racism in fandom. This short essay series will be looking at the ways that fandom dehumanizes, infantilizes, and/or desexualizes male characters of color – using the “Cinnamon Roll” meme/trope as a jumping off point for critique – by approaching certain tropes and archetypes without thinking along intersectional frameworks.This first essay looks at the way male characters of color are frequently removed from the shipping arena via infantilization that sees them reframed as other (usually white) characters’ children.If you like what you read, feel free to support the Stitch via: Patreon | PayPal -- source link
