i read that book when i was like 13? 14? and loved it cuz i think i very much fit the target audience at the time (i ended up reading the sequel recently and wondering what the fuck she was on tho) (also why are all of colleen houck's stories about a white girl saving a foreign culture from destruction or whatever. #whitesavior)

personally the worst

Worst book or story you've read, watched, or heard? (Including fanfictions and games)

hhghggg nnnnn

Okay so the difficult part of "worst story" is that the worst book I've ever read at my current reading level might have been the best book ever a few decades ago, before my grasp of nuance and cohesive storytelling and realistic dialogue had grown to where it is, so "worst" here would be highly subjective and meant to be taken with a grain of salt

The worst book I've ever read, or at least the worst book I could have read at that particular time in my life, was The Tiger's Curse by Colleen Houck. I was about fifteen, it was about a girl who meets an Indian prince who's been transformed into a tiger, and something about the first ten pages pissed me off so bad I put it right back on the library shelf and spent half an hour verbally shredding it with my friends. Cannot recall a single detail.

The worst movie I've ever seen was Holmes and Watson starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly. My younger brother heard it was bad so we rented it for a game of Bad Movie Chicken to see who could sit through it the longest and we both tapped out at about ten minutes in. This is a kid who had seen Tommy Wiseau's The Room twice and said, quote, "it's not that bad". Its not even the kind of bad that's fun. If we'd been forced to watch it any longer I sincerely think I would have begun stabbing myself in the leg with a fork to distract myself. It was really really bad

I refuse to shit on fanfiction

Thanks for the ask! :D

you need to understand the context of florante at laura with a filipino writer under spanish catholic censorship, because otherwise it sounds like a whitesavior story. but also the ending was gross but also

AFRICANGLOBE – An American woman has been accused of lying about being a medical professional while treating children in Uganda after more than 100 babies allegedly died at her facility. After leaving Virginia in 2007, Renee Bach set up a private non-governmental organisation called Serving His Children (SHC) in eastern Uganda. She is accused of leading parents of children in her care to believe she was a doctor despite having no medical training.

(1/2) So last Saturday, I went to #Sarnia with the #toxictour and rode with #risingtidetoronto . Apart from not accommodated for lots of things (simply because only white/Caucasian/lactose-tolerant mutants were part of planning), I was harassed on the bus back from Sarnia to Toronto. Lets start with some excerpt of the tour. Annually, #aamjiwnaang First Nation in #AnishinaabekTerritory host a Toxic Tour for the world to see what #Thanksgiving celebrating #pilgrims and eventual #settlers and #whitesaviors who came to the land, not only stole it but also concentrated the people before them in a tiny “circle” with #borders in Sarnia, after they “#discovered ” petroleum by the river bank. #Refineries built in the nation of #canada and the first one started here, @Sarnia , as the #firstchemicalplantincanada and since then, 40% of Canadian chemical plants surrounded the treated and “Indian-Act”-ed Aamjiwanaang people, with only 800 people living within the #zoneofchemicaltoxicity . Its at least #5oktimesofconcentration compare to the majority of the rest of residents in this #whitebordered nation calles Canada. I firstly ever heard about Sarnia was not because it sounded like dat movie but because of @kathbum , the Sarnia born and raised Stand-Up Comedian who’s based in London, UK now. She uses comedies to convey one of the harder truths, the stunning-topping-the-chart suicidal and cancerous-death rate of Sarnia, the peak of Canada. And after moving to Toronto recently, I ran into the event and a Conservative MP candidate from the city too. All of the signs made me decide to make it a ritual to have a digital retreat simultaneously for last Saturday’s itinerary. Though after all of this, I have to mention something seems totally far-stretching. I recently went to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico while a guide in Sayulita told me all the #goodthingshitlerdid , like the environmentalist things including the first #animalcrueltylaw in occidental society. I never had a clear image of #nazi or #neonazi since its hard to be a public #phobic and #bigots these days that are only borderlining but not crossing line of #livingahatecrimelifestyle . Eentually, i linked #incel with #nazism https://www.instagram.com/p/B34r_qsA5KK/?igshid=1rpie6uhvedjm

•••Ok folks. I know some of you are burned out already, but a lot of you have been asleep too long so wake up. There’s a lot of deconstruction we need to make in our communities, the outdoors, and cycling. Many racial barriers are in need to break to step into a role of a proper ally. • Get comfortable with these phrases: Dismantling Ideological White Supremacy & White Savior Complex - (White Supremacy Ideologue; From White Saviors to Collaborators; Self-Defeating Allyship; Naming Anti-Black Racism). • Be aware of your identities and privilege. We all have scales of them and perpetuate oppression in some way, but once we know better, then that’s when we step into advocate to activists. Get active because equitable justice seeks peace and peace comes after liberation. •••• Follow @drjotengii for full social justice lessons and materials that is vital to the work we must continue.

Il tipico ricercatore Europoide di Africanistica.

Il tipico ricercatore Europoide di Africanistica.

Prima o poi, mentre accresci il ​​tuo studio sulle culture africane, incontrerai il classico ricercatore Europoide di “Africanistica”, che affermerà di essere un esperto di cultura africana. È molto pericoloso accettare le teorie sulla cultura africana da parte degli esperti Europoidi; non può proprio esistere nulla di simile. L’africanista Europoide è più pericoloso di qualsiasi altro gruppo di…

As someone who despises how American white missionaries and charitable organizations make Black/African kids the face of the #whitesaviorism endeavors. The fact that 🇩🇪and 🇨🇳 are using White kids for these videos is SENDING ME! 😅

Nini can we talk about how schools refuse to talk about the Caribbean islands? it makes me so mad! it's okay if you dont want to tho

honestly, yeah you're right

I understand that the Caribbean Islands are very small and not active in any modern political climate rn, besides Haiti i suppose, but they've played a big part in history. I can tell you, kids here don't know too well that Christopher Columbus never stepped foot onto North America, he instead invaded the Hispaniola. I don't think we learn about Taino history as much as we should which is honestly such a shame, and even in these countries themselves the students are really uneducated about the fact that most of our indigenous ancestors died off and we're mostly of African descent than we are indigenous(but of course no one wants to admit that because of extreme racism and colorism in the carribean Islands)

I also wish people in the US knew just how much the people of Haiti struggle. beyond just their poverty they are heavily discriminated against by Dominicans, and honestly that was so normalized when I lived there and seeing my friends being so casually insulted was, like, insane??? I hit a kid once for being racist to my friend #whitesavior moment(IM NOT WHITE THIS WAS A JOKE)

I just don't understand why classes won't talk about the Carribean Islands, they played such a big part in history and the era of colonization and trade and they still exist today and have their own issues like 😭 why don't people talk about them, please

Trigger Warning: #whiteness #whitemen #whitemale okay so this is not a post to crucify cis-white-men but related. @timberland have this billboard for the upcoming location in @stacktmarket where children visit and somewhere family based. The board is across street from the Bathurst St. entrance whiling facing (almost) East. So, NATURE NEED HEROES... who where what how why.... what you only see? #ablebodied #young in their 20s white men in a certain style of clothing; one with the #naturelle beard and the other in the #basic #redplaid that are almost the go-to “white” outfit that is flannel. To me, the ad is simply just another ad. But to children from 2-5 where they start developing the sense of racialization: the cultural product of Eugenics; to 5-12 yrs old where they have learnt “HERO” and gender already and realize maybe, this billboard is telling them how “HEROES” look like or #proximitytonature means; or simply, because “nature needs (us) heroes” so we get to, somewhere, #controlnature ; then to 13-18 or older people, its helping men to reproduce narcissism; women to reproduce inner-hate/shame or “know their place”... The #patriarch #androcentric #whitecentric #whitesavior #imperialistic #hegemonic #chauvinistic image just made you think. And thank you for Elliot from Reunion, who helped inspire this post and made the #harmreduction joke about #ethicbeens from Starbucks etc.!

whitesaviorcomplex replied to your post :This is why i dont talk about my personal life on...

what a piece of shit oh my god

yeah, back when i was alot more open and younger (at 18 n 19) this was a huge problem, and i had to block alot of damn blogs, its why i dont really talk about myself in depth, outside of readmore, and private conversations with friends

that and the paranoia (piano music cues)
