#im.........tired#we're coming full circle guys. i think this person was just saying 'i like these things and im not Different and thats okay' :)#and here you are.....again......racializing it. bringing criticism upon a harmless if maybe cringey post.#yall the same type of people to say a black girl 'isnt really black' bc she likes any of these things.#and discussing critical theory in media is cool!! my favorite thing to do is criticize what I love through various social lenses. all great#but this person said 'i like these things! its okay that im not special!'#and the reply said 'OH so you think anyone that DOESNT like those things is a paranoid freak?? white women smdh'#i wish there was a tag to block posts like this 😓#i deal every day with actual microaggressions amd poverty and the internet is the one place i can just enjoy what i like#and its absolutely bombarded by unnecessary social commentary on things and subcultures that have no relevance in real life#if ur having an argument w a diehard twilight fan over why its racist you can just say this to them. easy stuff.#instead of publicly tarring and feathering every assertion of an identity you personally dont agree with.#i feel like im going to the movie theatre only to see other ppl in the audience fistfighting over whether the movie was good#i could ignore it but pls. pls. stop fighting over dumb shit. in front of my salad. please.#i havent tag ranted over tumblr bullshit in a while lmao#this post was one of the final straws#probably bc i like midsommar and its my favorite movie and ive been accused of being 'too white' for things like that#ofc theres no point in me saying this. everyone on the internet has their head up their ass#and few ppl actually practice any sort of integrity or courtesy here. im just very fed up. op by all means tear the bitch apart#if thats what u feel u have to do. its also kind of the birthright of poc to be hyper-critical of stuff like this. doesnt mean its#...productive but u do what u have to to deal w ur oppressive trauma i guess. i just want any of my mutuals thinking this is a hot take#to know that the loudest of us dont stand for the rest of us. theres nothing wrong w liking any of these things. its not racist to.#it IS insensitive to talk over us when we say things like this. its not your place. but just bc one poc feels a way about media doesnt mean#theyre the end-all-be-all Ultimate Critical Theorist just for saying theres Bad Rhetoric in ur fave thing.#*deep exhale* okay cool. i know i overreacted but posts w this tone set me off#if i wanted to see racial discourse over fandom shit id go to twitter. tumblr gods pls send these ppl...to twitter
