Historical reenactment of course always has a host of potential problems at hand but Regency events in particular often have a very visible clash between queer multiracial nerds who dig the clothes and folks who make the Duggars look moderate.

Anyway, if you wanna do Regency events and not be surrounded by terrible white people, Do Your Research. And no it being at a sci-fi convention or Bridgeton-inspired doesn’t mean it’ll be fine! And I haven’t even begun to talk to you about the transphobia situation!

(Also if you “missed the antisemitism” in Heyer it just means you haven’t read The Grand Sophy. People reccing that book to me without a warning for it are how I’ve found out those friends were antisemitic … not like in a casual culturally absorbed way but in a Hitler way)
