Something that I’ve often wondered about in fandom, after too many years of observing things about Avengers fans (and the larger MCU / Marvel comics fan community) is the 2 YT dix trope and how that plays out in the reverse.
What I mean is when you have ships like Sam Wilson/Bucky Barnes (or WinterFalcon, or CaptainWinter). I think about whether or not pairings like this would exist at all if not for Bucky (or really, the insertion of ANY popular white character).
What I mean is the nature of white-adjacency as it relates to interracial ships. I wonder this often because a huge chunk of my OTPs or OT+ pairings from all my various other fandoms are interracial (or interspecies if you count ships like The Arbiter/Master Chief).
And while I understand fully that the term “interracial” doesn’t necessarily have to include a white person (in fiction or IRL), so much of Western society’s understanding of these couplings (romantic or not) usually do because of the burden of white supremacy. And, like many other societal blunders that needs to be erased, this is also reflected in fandom.
Now, I know there is THE truth, truth and “truths”. I am more referring to the kind that is based off constant observations made in both the micro-fandom spaces and mainstream arenas I occupy. I really do wonder how much mainstream fandoms would take to having more interracial pairings that didn’t partially revolve around at least one white character…

CW: re: Guide to Hashtagging | What do I Hashtag For?
In my opinion, its good practice to evaluate your posts and define the objective aspects of it. As an Example this could be Gender, Species, Kink, Theme, but those categories can be whatever you want. (It is at least good to CW and/or hashtag kinks or themes people may like to avoid, because even though your post would be filtered, not only does it not get you flack from someone who didn't wanna see it, you intrigue people who ARE interested to have a look)
If you had fanart from a show with 2 characters in a ship you like, the objective truths about the art you can tag for would be Name of the show, character names, ship name, or even what AU the picture is! Its your blog you can use hashtags to find your posts again too!
For organization sake I try to put the categories of my hashtag all together in order so I'd have something like Numbers, Alphabet, Double Digits It'd be like #1 #2 #3 #a #b #c #10 #25 #42 This is completely optional and order does not matter for visibility, its just something i like to do to keep organized

CW: re: Guide to Hashtagging | Researching Hashtags
To figure out which tags you want to use, it can be a combination of trying to puzzle out the correct format of the tag or using other people's posts to hop between the relevant ones. For example, if you are tagging fanart for a show with spaces in it, what is more often used? Would it be #The_Show or #TheShow? Same goes for characters. Is it #Character_Name , #CharacterName or #TheShowCharacterName
What I usually do is check my first instincts of a tag and evaluate the frequency of them so I can make my own judgements of which I'd like to use for my own blog archives and visibility. From there, I'll see if the posts in that tag have adjacent posts, as other people often will do what we said in the last post. Use different hashtags for the same concept. Especially in cases of fandom work, this is an easy way to gather intel on what the community is using the most.
