Pink Riot Is the Revolution: Shaking Up Fandom, One Episode at a Time

Every now and then, you come across a podcast that isn’t just talking about culture—it’s changing it. This week on The New Blerd Order, we had the absolute honor of welcoming Pink Riot to the table, and let me tell you, the vibes were unmatched.

Pink Riot isn’t just a name—it’s a statement. A reminder that sometimes, you’ve got to make noise, break rules, and flip the script if you want real change. Founded by two powerhouse Black women, Pink Riot is more than a podcast. It’s a movement. A safe space. A riot in the best sense of the word.

These ladies are on a mission to amplify the voices of marginalized creators in comics, literature, and pop culture. They’re here for the underdogs—the indie authors, the overlooked artists, the fans who never quite felt seen in mainstream nerd spaces. And they’re doing it with unapologetic style, sharp humor, and the kind of real talk that cuts through the noise.

🖤 Why Pink Riot Matters

In a world where fandoms can feel exclusionary—where gatekeeping, racism, and misogyny still lurk in the comment sections—Pink Riot is a breath of fresh air.

They’re saying what a lot of us have been thinking:

• Representation in nerd culture isn’t optional—it’s necessary.

• Black women don’t just belong in these spaces—we shape them.

• If you’re not creating space for marginalized voices, what are you really doing?

Their message is simple: Nerd culture is for everyone. And they’re here to make sure we never forget that.

🎙️ Our Conversation with Pink Riot

When we sat down with Pink Riot, we got into it all.

• What it means to be a Black woman navigating fandoms that weren’t always built for you.

• How to hold space for joy, even in the face of toxicity.

• The power of building community when the mainstream won’t make room.

• And of course, we had to get their takes on Andor (peak storytelling), Ironheart (Black girl genius, let’s go!), and The Last of Us (yes, it still hurts).

Let’s just say… they didn’t hold back. And that’s exactly why we loved every second.

💥 The Big Takeaway

This episode wasn’t just a conversation—it was a reminder:

Being a Blerd isn’t just about loving comics, movies, or games. It’s about reclaiming those spaces, making them ours, and refusing to let anyone tell us we don’t belong.

Pink Riot is doing the work—and they’re inviting the rest of us to join the riot.
