lotesseHey guys, I'm having one of those moments when I want to transport my Internet Knowledge (tm) into academic writing and am trying to find apt sources and/or research keywords but can't. Somebody's got to be writing about that thing that happens with tearjerker portrayals and racism, where the tactics of representational sympathy demand the display of a sad-but-deserving victim who can't be too weird or political or angry, and so the whole thing ends up reinforcing kyriarchy overall, right? What do you call that?

Also I have no idea what the word is for that concept, but my first thoughts were in line with princessofgeek's, above (deserving).
