#AND RACISM TOO

[soup-mother]

"Tumblr is the gay communist website" tumblr is the transmisogyny and racism from people who think fanfic is political theory website

Nex Benedict's death wasn't just for being transgender, it was for being native too. 2 Spirits are revered in many native cultures and it is a native-specific identity. This wasn't just a hate crime against trans & NB individuals, this was also a hate crime against Natives of Turtle Island.

You cannot separate Nex's trans identity from their native identity - this is a case of MMIWG2S (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2 Spirits).

Native children being killed at school is nothing new, so it's equally important to talk about Nex's native identity and being intersectional, this is a devastating tragedy for indigenous people, the queer community & especially those of us who are both indigenous and queer.

May Nex rest in peace 🪶

"The bigots up top think we're ALL fucked up! They want us ALL dead!" Hey that's cool dude you're right! Now are you saying this as a genuine expression of solidarity and community, or do you only bring this point up when the acknowledgement of intersectionality makes you uncomfortable? Is it a rallying cry, or a way to shut down people affected by intercommunity bigotry?

Not to be that person, but if Kamala Harris were a white man with the exact same ideals, positions, and beliefs, it wouldn’t have even been a competition. Realising that the worst thing you can apparently be is a woman, is truly devastating.

Wrong. If you’ve been bigoted in the past and have sincerely grown from that and are working to do better, I one thousand percent would love to hear that from you. I want to know why you believed in it and what pulled you out of it. It is helpful for understanding that bigotry better as well as how to combat it. Obviously there is a time and a place to share it, but your perspective is absolutely valuable. Even if nothing else, it’s a sign that people can learn and grow.

This person went on to say that people have been bigoted in the past are permanently horrible people and need to “poorly make up for it” for the rest of their lives. Untrue again. Your past does not define you, what you do with the present does. Your responsibility is to unlearn bigotry and harmful behavior and do better in the future, the same as literally every other person alive. I see you, and I believe in your capacity for change. I invite you to tell me about it.

sitting here thinking about the fact that the US had the option of tim walz, the most beer and pretzels middle america midwest lutheran high school football coach white man you could ever think to get, and when he actually pushed measures advocating on behalf of white working class american people like school meals for their children and free tampons in high schools he was called some kind of beta male urban elite commie cuck who couldn't possibly know how to fix real american's problems half so well as a nyc billionaire did.

when the democrats actually did put forward practical measures for everyday people they got burned for it, and then idiots have the chutzpah to say they lost because they didn't go far enough left

I just saw a post about people complimenting butches, women of color and trans women in regards to destroying crushing ect. Things/people and it also works in the reverse.

It is okay and normal and fine and awesome to compliment butches, woc, and trans women outside of how uwu soft bebe smol bean they are. Actually.

As a butch black person percieved as a woman myself, it is. Way too fucking common to say they were intimidated by me but I was actually a "soft teddy bear" and be infantilized and uwubified because people don't want me to think they see me as dangerous.

It is. Annoying.

Just. Compliment us. And actually be genuine and thoughtful. Think of something that actually describes us, please. Outside of "could literally break me in half" and "literally could not hurt a fly".

Idk. Idk.

@ 911 fans—

Athena is not Buck’s mom. Hen is not Buck’s mom.

Athena has two children— Harry and May. She is their mom. Hen has two children— Denny and Mara. She is their mom. Karen is also their mom.

These black women are not the mothers of a grown-ass white man. Just as you should not pigeonhole black women into sassy, emasculating, and domineering stereotypes— which I see you all do, you should also not pigeonhole them into the stereotype role of the domestic laborer: cooking for, cleaning up after, and being a mother to a white “child.”

Shut the fuck up about “Mother Hen” and “Mother Athena.” If you aren’t talking about their relationship with their own legal children, shut the fuck up. Stop calling these women sassy and stop referring to them as Buck’s mothers.

Buck has a mother, Margaret Buckley. Margaret is his only mother. I don’t care if you dislike her, but replacing a neglectful white mother with a black woman as a caretaker is not the endearing move you think it is.

cannot believe i gotta say this but please don't follow me if you're comfortable selfshipping with canon racists. i don't care if you headcanon them as otherwise, because if their racism against a real group of people is a key facet of their character (much less incredibly important to the telling of the story that this character is a racist) then i do not wanna see it. this is not the safe space for you

Are you overwhelmed by social media? Yearning for the early 2000s internet with casual games, forums, fun graphics, and HTML customization? May I offer you a goat in these trying times?

Not only that, but users (artists and non-artists alike) are encouraged to submit ideas for everything on the site! Goats, things to add to the doll maker, items, anything! A ton of items are adapted from designs submitted by users. There are contests for them too, where everyone votes on favorites and you get prizes for winning!

oooooo white people in my replies really saying ‘I can excuse racism but I draw the line at homophobia’

Not surprised since this is the site that only talks about racism and thinks it’s a big deal when they see it demonstrated in the cartoons and comics they like *coughs* dungeonmeshi *coughs* (for example at least. I haven’t seen THIS many white ppl talk as in depth about racism on here as much as these fandom nerds, man. I stg. Like “Ohhhh, so you all DO acknowledge that racism is real? Just not in real life even if you could feel it slapping you in the face at high speed. Gotcha.” It’s crazy.

Tumblr is like, 90% white and is extremely centered around them. That’s why you barely see stuff that’s important to black and brown people ever trending here or being talked about. It has to be something incredibly huge to the point where even white people can’t ignore it like they usually do, to talk about it here.

They only talked about George Floyd here because the topic of his death became world news. Even people in other countries were talking about it. Before him, it was probably Ferguson and Trayvon Martin… most of them are still trying their best to ignore the genocides because it’s a “touchy subject.” What do you expect from white people who live in their own bubbles of comfort and refuse to pop it with a needle??? They find comfort in their privilege and faux ignorance (they love playing stupid to avoid conversations about important things outside of fandoms like, are these mfs born with half a brain dedicated to fandom or what.) That’s literally all these mfs make a big deal out of, especially on this annoying ass platform. The ao3 mfs will go to war for the site that allows racist ff and cp like it’s no big deal. I wonder how many people here even donated to the site while actively scrolling past dono posts from folks who really do need help. They act like they’re doing a civil service by defending this site that makes over the amount of it’s intended dono goal in minutes.

Then you already know as soon as you even bring up racism in the stuff they like, they start ganging up and harassing black bloggers especially, calling them TERFs and the whole nine. Anything to make that person look bad for being concerned about the racism that they have such an intense aversion to. God, it’s absolutely exhausting knowing that these people would have no problem choosing a cartoon character over your entire existence if they COULD. Isn’t that fucking sad, man?

"go to palestine and see how they treat you" okay. i did. they treated me like normal. i'm palestinian and queer and they treated me just fine. but you know where i was treated like shit for being queer??? the u.s. of fucking a.

[tgirl-armand]

the funniest thing of all is that even if everything lestat said was 100 per cent infallibly true I just cannot shake the feeling that if louis was a white women the whole “im gonna choke you like you did our child” thing would get tons of yasss queen slayyyy kill your abuser we love to see itttt! but he isn’t so. it doesn’t
