#And this is excluding how they treat Dapper and Bad

[qtubbo]

People being terrible to sunny:

Foolish’s twitter fandom is genuinely the most toxic part of the qsmp fandom they are so horrible, there is so many tweets like these. I’ve seen people call for Sunny’s death, wish her harm, hope that they’re left behind and friendless. Hoping that Ramon choses Leo of Sunny like it’s a competition. The person that posted that is a huge account and you can’t just excuse bullying a literal baby with /rp its so gross.

Edit: read more of that person’s post they said it was Sunny’s fault for disliking them because Sunny’s just a copycat that can’t get her own personality. That is a baby all the tweets got so many likes, and other people made fancams of Leo “getting rid of the trash”

How would the doctors be in relationships? (Including TO and Lucius)

I'm presuming with partners who reciprocate their affection, lol. Let's also pretend we're excluding their limitation of being only at the facility.

Yosuke: He'd be very much loving. The "best" parts of his treatment of Ten are good examples. However, he'd still be a little possessive at times and expect his partner to accommodate his wants and needs. Though he can't avoid it in TF, he won't exactly prefer his partner to get too close to other men and will actively prevent it if possible, or at least hover over them continuously to make sure they're "safe". Yosuke might take his partner on regular dinner dates or to more private place, but would ultimately prefer to keep them at home. He'd give them plenty of affection, kissing and touching them all over. He might even be a little needy and bother his partner when they're lounging around or doing work. He would not hesitate to talk things out if need be, but he may regularly make assumptions or read his partner and try to get them on his side rather than actually solve a conflict. He's quite tricky with words, and tends to go for people who can't easily "beat" him at the games he plays. No matter what, he will always get his way.

Mom: She'd still talk the way she does with a real partner, and still be lively and coy. But she'd show her affection more by being sweet for them and buying them gifts (she'll more than likely be the breadwinner too). She'd also probably take her partner around and meet new people and be social. Mom would baby their partner in the bedroom as is her fascination, and she may expect them to refer to her matronly name even outside of it as she does in TF. She'd probably go on a lot of random dates with her partner, even small things like going shopping. But always, she will keep up with her sexual fascinations and expect regular attention in the bedroom. She might not indulge in a partner who can't keep up with her sexual desires. If a partner shows that they're going to be too much of a stubborn person for her, Mom has no issues cutting them off and finding someone else. Only if it's someone she likes to toy with or have fun with does she get particularly attached. She can be a bit clingy and needy if she really likes/loves someone enough, so her partner would really have to be able to put up with that overbearing personality. But because of who she is and how she gets, her relationships never last incredibly long.

Sven: He'd hardly be romantic, but he'd probably be pretty loose and casual with his partner. His rather misogynistic ways would probably be downplayed around a partner, or else he'd hide a lot of his intentions if he wants them to stick around. Sven likes to be the one in charge of things and has absolutely no patience, so he doesn't take well to partners who try to talk over him or assert themselves. Basically, he's not the greatest guy to be in a relationship with, and would probably want to get his dick wet and chill out more than deal with relationship issues or talking things out. He's not afraid of ending a relationship if his partner ends up being too difficult for him to handle, or if he perceives that the relationship gains are not worth the effort.

Jude: He might be a little more kind with a partner than Sven, and certainly a little classier. He's a bit old fashioned, so he'd expect his partner to be more petite and gentle while he leads. He'd pay for things and take them out now and then, with the expectation that his partner give him affection/attention. Jude would not do well with conflict, but at least try to reason with his partner if they're angry. He's not the type to shut people off, but will not get overly emotional himself and tends to be more calm about things. If his partner is far more reactive, he will have to constantly try managing their moods.

Micah: He'd prefer a partner who can keep up with his interests and attitude, but he does have a few soft spots that might show more often with a genuine partner. He'd like to laze around in bed with them or go out at night before returning to the bedroom for playtime. He might not do well with conflict since he's so hotheaded, but he'll probably feel bad about hurting someone he actually likes. Even if there's fights, he'll apologize later, possibly with his body. Micah is usually begrudging to let others see his softer side, so when he does act gently for his partner, he will probably do it in private.

Jonathan: Jonathan would be a romantic, and treat his partner gently. He'd lead a gentler partner and woo them with his charm, but be submissive and boyish to a more dominant one, particularly in the bedroom. He'll probably shower his partner in gifts and affection. Would probably swing if his partner agrees to it, too. And though he's rather calm and casual, Jonathan may sometimes resort to begging playfully if he wants to involve his partner in something. He has a charm about him that will usually lead a partner to agree to what he wants, but he isn't unfair and will usually compensate a partner for those agreements, either with gifts or heavy petting. Jonathan would be rather fond of romantic outings, and may like to be surprised by his partner, or surprise them himself.

Nathaniel: Nathaniel wouldn't be quite as submissive as Jonathan and might attract more tender and gentle partners for him to romance and fawn over. He'd give them gifts as well, and be extremely affectionate and touch their partner regularly with things like hugs, kisses, and hand-holding. Nathaniel's a dapper man who lives lavishly, so he'd make sure his partner looked equally as lavish. He's also constantly fluster them with loving, and perhaps even poetic words. Lots of wine-and-dine dates with this man.

Gale: Gale would be a subtle romantic, but always be gentle with their partner and lead them if they need to be led. They aren't the grandiose type and would instead prefer simple company and time together. They might not be able to help but read their partner regularly and always know if there's something on their mind. They're quite good at working out problems, so it'd be easy to avoid too much arguing in the relationship. Bedroom time would go between hard pegging and gentle play depending on the mood of both partners at the given time.

Milos: Milos would be a bit difficult to deal with, but rewarding for those who put up with his drunker antics. He'd still treat his partner like royalty and give them very enthusiastic affection, but he might be a bit more forward than some people like. He's very unashamed of pressing hard kisses onto his partners in public, and wouldn't much care if anyone were to be disgusted by overt displays of affection. If his partner is fairly dainty, even if he'll still try to treat them gently most times, he might frighten them by being too loud or unpredictable. But if his partner is as aggressive and headstrong as he is, they might be right alongside him. He'd love every minute of that, especially if his partner's an alcoholic too. He may brush off a partner if there's a conflict, or find any way to dodge conflict in general since he prefers to have a good time rather than be too serious. He's not the kind of person to want to be tied down, so he wouldn't be interested in long-term relationships.

Lilah: Lilah would be fairly impatient in a relationship unless her partner was able to keep up with her demanding personality and interests. She'd never be with anyone super gentle, and so her partner would have to be as headstrong as her. There might be a lot of fighting and rough makeup sex in a relationship like this. If Lilah's with a partner who she can be a little bit more "submissive" in the bedroom to and not be a top, she'll probably be pretty demanding and bratty both in and out of the bedroom. When she does get enthusiastic about things, she'll probably want to share things with her partner. She's not the romantic or cuddling type, and would probably rather have raunchy make-out sessions and get sloshed than sit through a boring dinner date.

Monica: Monica might baby her partner a little bit and treat them like royalty. She'd act fairly bubbly around her partner and constantly ask if they'd like to do things with her if she's in the mood to go out and have a good time. She'd be very vocal in the relationship, wanting to talk quite often about how she feels and how things are going. If she has an impatient partner, this might lead to a lot of arguments and conflict of interest. If her partner is as loving and vocal as she is, it'd be much easier to talk about things, but sometimes the both of them will try to talk over one another if they have something to say. Monica would definitely be openly sexual with her partner and would possibly be a little needy since she still sometimes is stuck in her younger mindset despite being an older woman who's expected to be more "mature". She likes to be perky and girlish, and more importantly likes to have fun. However, if her partner is ever having a bad time or feels sad, she'll drop what she's doing to take care of them.

Lucius: See this ask

The Overseer: This one's a bit tough. He's hardly a romantic, nor especially enthusiastic about being in a traditional relationship. He might be a distant, busy partner who doesn't much know how to tenderly show his affections and isn't always present, but he would give his partner anything they needed or even wanted if they were to ask for it. He may even preemptively buy something for his partner if they even hinted casually at it, regardless of whether it was something they needed/wanted (ex. if his partner were to say "I would kill for a car like that" even if they were joking, he'd misread their tone and buy one for them, thinking they were 100% serious about it). TO is a very private individual, and won't be particularly affectionate. He'd struggle if his partner were the affectionate type, leading to a lot of disagreements and one-sided fights. However, an affectionate partner may do little things for him he quietly appreciates or rewards with compliments and gifts-- things like tying his ties, cooking for him, and making the bed. He may even give them kisses on the forehead or cheek in private as a means to satisfy them, but wouldn't publicize his affectionate gestures whatsoever and mostly keep these things in the home. In turn, if he has the time, he may even try to return some of these favors and attempt to clean or cook for his partner, but leave notes instead of waiting for their reaction to his gestures. TO's values tend to be tied to achievements and successes, so he'd be a lot more "open" or "chatty" with a partner who has accomplishments under their belt, like maybe a fellow doctor or someone who's so focused on the work they do in their field like he is. Since he's such a stoic man, he won't be super expressive, but at the very best would deliver a few lines of (well-meaning, but dry-sounding) compliments or praise to his partner. So, TO would probably accept living with and being close to someone, he just wouldn't seem super enthused even if he's actually quite content. Livelier people might ask his partner why they're with him when he seems so "boring", but there will always be something his partner loves about him even when he is a little dry.

Designer Kerby Jean-Raymond Calls out Business of Fashion’s Inclusivity Problem

Purportedly celebrating the most influential people in the global fashion community—from stylists to editors to models to designers—Business of Fashion’s annual BoF500 list has become an industry-wide badge of honour in the seven years that the publication has been putting it out. This year, celebrated New York designer Kerby Jean-Raymond, who helms the brand Pyer Moss, was part of that coveted list of 500 individuals. However, the day after the gala was held in Paris on September 30, he published a lengthy statement on Medium calling out the cultural appropriation and insensitivity he witnessed at the gala event, and why he wished to no longer be associated with the BoF500 list.

A post shared by Kerby Jean-Raymond (@kerbito) on Oct 1, 2019 at 1:07pm PDT

As a designer whose work has long addressed “the erasure of African American narratives in popular culture,” Jean-Raymond’s NYFW shows each season celebrate black culture, music and history with a care and thoughtfulness often missing in the fashion industry. Choirs have been a mainstay of his shows since 2015, when he first assembled the Pyer Moss Tabernacle Drip Choir, so walking into the BoF Gala only to be greeted by a black gospel choir performing “to a room full of white people” understandably set him on edge.

“That level of entitlement is the core issue,” he writes. “People feeling like they can buy or own whatever they want … if that thing pertains to blackness. We are always up for sale… Homage without empathy and representation is appropriation. Instead, explore your own culture, religion and origins. By replicating ours and excluding us — you prove to us that you see us as a trend. Like, we gonna die black, are you?”

Aside from the insensitive decision to have a black gospel choir perform at a fashion event in Paris, Jean-Raymond also outlined other ways in which the publication and its editor, Calgary-born Imran Amed, “gaslighted, used, monetized and then excluded” him from the BoF500 issue. In the months leading up the issue, Jean-Raymond says he was approached by BoF to participate in their Voices panel series, for which he would be interviewed by model/activist Bethann Hardison. Refusing most other panels because of their tendency to lump him with other black designers to speak on the topics of diversity and inclusion, and homogenizing their experience in the process, Jean-Raymond agreed to participate in this solo interview only to learn much later that it been turned into a group panel with two other black designers.

“I did it, begrudgingly,” he writes. “But in reality all three of us have our own unique narratives and histories that warranted our own separate solo stages. The same solo stages that all the other white designers have received, for years.”

He adds that he later participated in a “heated and problematic” Salon conversation that was so insulting he left the BoF event two days earlier than planned. Despite these “degrading” events, he agreed to speak with Amed when he reached out a few months later with the news that he would be featured on one of the magazine’s three BoF500 covers for his contributions to the fashion industry. “In all these calls and talks he’s picking my brain for names to include on this cover with me and a list of “diverse” people for the 500,” writes Jean-Raymond, who felt at the time that “something was off.” Sure enough, he was informed later that the publication had decided to go “a different route.” (Eventually, the three covers turned out to feature Harlem-based designer and Gucci collaborator Dapper Dan, Alabama rapper Chika Oranika, and Valentino designer Pierpaolo Piccioli alongside South Sudanese-Australian model Adut Akech.)

Somehow, Jean-Raymond says, he was able to put all that aside and was convinced by friends to attend the BoF Gala—where things went from bad to worse.

“I’m offended that you all made those beautiful black and brown people feel really terrible to the point where some of my friends said “this is helpless”, “this shit will never change” and others left in tears,” he writes. “I was fine until they weren’t fine.”

Some of the other people of colour at the BoF Gala offended by the event include Aurora James, the Toronto-born founder of shoe brand Brother Vellies and Elaine Welteroth, former editor of Teen Vogue. In one of a series of Instagram Stories posted from the event, Welteroth writes, “Inclusivity or Appropriation? The answers are clear when a black gospel choir is used out of context as a backdrop for a mostly white audience in Paris, all in the name of inclusion in fashion. FYI Black culture is not a trend. I am not one to promote call out culture but as someone who grew up in a black baptist church my ancestors won’t allow me to absorb this shock silently. The paradox here is stunning.”

Aurora James, in another series of several posts, writes about BoF’s disingenuous attempt at inclusivity by hiring a black gospel choir to sing “songs that were intended for sacred black religious safe spaces,” adding that “this is just the further commodification of black culture for corporate gain. That type of cultural appropriation under the guise of inclusivity is exactly the opposite of what we need to be doing.”

She further commented on Imran Amed’s response to Jean-Raymond’s statement, in which he largely focuses on his own affection for choir music and his experience as the son of immigrants in Canada, saying that he has many others to apologize to, including all of the other black and brown people in the room.

“Kerby has every right to voice his concerns and we respect his perspective,” wrote Amed in his response. “He is also right about several things. As Kerby points out, the fashion industry has often treated inclusivity as a trend, putting diverse faces in our ad campaigns, on our runways, on our magazine covers and, yes, at our parties because it’s cool and of the moment. But I can assure you that this topic is not a trend for BoF.”

He goes on to write about how, growing up, he always felt like an outsider. “This is one of the reasons why I set out to build an inclusive culture at BoF, where our 110 employees come from almost 30 different countries and many different races, genders, socio-economic backgrounds and sexual orientations.”

This sounds great in theory, but as fashion podcaster Shelby Ivey Christie pointed out on Twitter last week, the BoF team doesn’t look quite as diverse as one might hope.
