Notability of masking vs autistic masking

Made autistic masking a section header instead of a subsection. Autistic masking has way more notability in terms of ease of finding references in scholarly, psychological, and sociological work than regular/emotions masking. Considering its importance it should be notable enough its own page (when expanded). Unburnable (talk) 21:38, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Unburnable: I've moved most content on autistic masking to its own entry autistic masking and plan to consolidate and expand it in the upcoming days. I'd be happy to hear your suggestions and/or would appreciate if you could contribute there.--TempusTacet (talk) 15:12, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccurate discussion of Fanon

Under "History," the article says: "Frantz Fanon is credited with defining masking in his 1957 Black Skin, White Masks, which describes masking behavior in race relations within the stratified post-war United States. Fanon explains how African-Americans, especially those of low social capital, adopted certain behaviors to resemble white people as well as other behaviors intended to please whites and reinforce the white man's higher social status." This is misleading: Fanon was from the island of Martinique, and he is mainly focused on race relations in the context of French colonialism, both in the Antilles and in France. He does cite certain Black U.S. writers, such as Richard Wright or Chester Himes, but they are not his main focus. In addition, Peau Noire, Masques Blancs was published in 1952, not 1957. At the conceptual level, it's also an incredibly reductive account of the argument of the book, and the concept of masking is not actually central to the book at all. Indeed, the title of the book was imposed by the publisher; Fanon's original title was On the Disalienation of the Black Person (see David Macey, Fanon: A Biography). I suggest that the whole passage be struck from this article. CultureGardensOnline (talk) 19:13, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
