Literally just saw a white person equating people on this website criticizing peoples financial ability to give their money to tumblr to cult behavior and I genuinely fucking hate y'all.
Like are there scammers on here? Yeah sometimes there are. But its not lost on me that a critical component of the conversation they conveniently omitted is that a majority of the people who were upset about peoples blue check mark bullshit and blaze are people of color. And that is incredibly relevant.
Users of color on this website with mutual aid posts experience so much vile harassment compared to white people and people's mutual aid posts for their pets. Youre seriously going to sit there and tell me it's not infuriating to watch mutual aid posts for people's funerals or cancer treatments go unmet but see a white persons goals to buy a fucking "cottage" or fund some jackshit project that ends up falling through get met in lightning speed!? It's funny how you guys don't consider that a scam but consider poc who are stuck in a perpetual cycle of poverty scammers cause they make more than one mutual aid post.
Not to mention, I literally have seen my Black mutuals in particular get sent fucking death threats, threats of rape, and racial slurs CONSTANTLY for daring to ask for help. Them and other poc being pretty understandably angry about the way white people on this website show 0 empathy for the struggle of poc on this website but have 0 problem and abundant willingness to prioritize the needs of animals and this racist, transphobic, fascist/pedophile harboring website for "fun" isn't "cult shit". Jesus christ get a grip.
You're all just butt hurt that yet yet again your racist fucking behavior as a group on this website is spelled out for you and it makes y'all stupidly uncomfortable and well, stupid. So excuse poc for being fucking pissed that the white people on this website continue to dehumanize and reduce their struggle over a fucking dog's medical bills and a fucking bundle of pixels that doesnt even operate across the platform, I guess!!
