Pause before posting that meta! This week, Maggie and V are joined by Violeta @morethanonepage, winner of 2021′s Fandom March Madness, to talk about coding. Why do so many Black characters in scifi have purple or blue skin? What’s the difference between queerbaiting and queer-coding? Is Kylo Ren really a femme? Does Loki represent white supremacy or transracial adoption narratives? Plus, Violeta joins in on “What Are You Into This Week” with a rec of her own!
