Shantell Powell<p>A while back, I was in a writing workshop. I submitted a story for critique written from a redneck POV. The instructor cautioned me to be careful about using slurs like "redneck," although she saw nothing objectionable in the content of my story.</p><p>This startled me. I was raised on the land and off the grid in rural and remote areas across Canada because my father couldn't find work. I lived in trailer parks and campgrounds, and sometimes we squatted in people's yards living in an RV. One other person in the workshop was also a self-proclaimed redneck living in US Appalachia.</p><p>I do not use "redneck" as a pejorative, and think that those who do are engaging in classism. </p><p>It makes me wonder how many redneck stories get published. I know I've had a hard time with some of my stories written in Maritimes vernacular from the POV of redneck characters. I've had an editor tell me that I need to run my story through Grammarly. So yes, there's an elitism going on when the use of vernacular is deemed "wrong." That's how folks actually talk. It should have representation. <a href="https://c.im/tags/classism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>classism</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/redneck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>redneck</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/publishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>publishing</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/discrimination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>discrimination</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/representation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>representation</span></a></p>

Nuki Raccoon: The DEI Program of Furry Erotica<p>Randomly thinking about how fetish work, the good indie kind at least, often actively works to try and normalize the <a href="https://yiff.life/tags/fetish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fetish</span></a> within its space, either by creating an imagined world where said fetish is normalized and the majority of people have it, or having a character with the fetish go through embarrassment and/or persecution for having the fetish, so that the intended audience can feel validated and normalized by it. </p><p>In a sense, fetish works are a form of positive <a href="https://yiff.life/tags/representation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>representation</span></a>, which makes the people looking at it feel just a little less isolated in the normal experience of having a fetish. <a href="https://yiff.life/tags/RepresentationMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RepresentationMatters</span></a>.</p><p><a href="https://yiff.life/tags/erotica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>erotica</span></a></p>
