#eurocentricity is bad

[axolotlclown]

remember when there was that post going around challenging terfs to define a chair? i have yet to watch a gender essentialist define a woman without excluding cis black women. and i want yall to watch them do it over and over again until you understand that transphobia is just repackaged white supremacy.

It’s so fucked that the main source of unease I felt building up over the past several months was me feeling pressured to perform femininity to be seen as desirable to other people. It was never ever said said out loud in that space but I could FEEL it and I never knew until it was pointed out to me.

any kdrama about beauty: omg she's so ugly, it's so bad she's been bullied and ostrazised for it her whole life, look at her getting hate-crimed over how ugly she is, oh I can't look, ohh it's so horrid

female protagonist in question: *just looks like a normal human woman*

not sure it's my post to make particularly, but I do fucking hate how the concept of white guilt gets weaponized within white people ingroups to throw at each other in order to goad each other into emotional passivity, detachement and inaction, it's just so extremely not what the concept is about initially and is actually still an extension of white guilt it turns out!!! as it's still reacting to that idea and concerned by trying to sever oneself from its perceived effects, regardless of what those are and what they do and what bigger picture they exist in!!!! anyway.

Why is it so hard to find youtubers that don't feel disrespectful to other cultures when they talk about horror or legends, I need new ones to watch

i'm always baffled by how literature about the unknowable, the inexplicable, is often analysed in terms of what is being said about the humans in contact with the phenomenon in question, rather than in terms of how fragile the very notion of humanity is in the face of what cannot meaningfully be translated into knowledge.

went to the dermatologist yesterday and was very gently informed that i am White. I knew this already. Yes, Doc, I'll be good, Doc, I'll wear sunscreen when I'm outside for a long time on sunny days, Doc.

Apparently this is incorrect.

Every day. It's supposed to be every day. Literally if I go outside there's supposed to be sunscreen on me. I'm not even one of those extra pale white ppl that burn immediately??

Excuse me ye olde colonists, I've just been prescribed Vampire Life, doctor's orders, what the fuck did you leave your horrible, cold little continent for, clearly we have no business elsewhere.

vaguely related to the topic at hand but i fucking Hate the whole “this is how you age when you’re unproblematic” thing can we stop equating visual appearance/attractiveness with morality already

I enjoy documentaries I love learning things but god why do they have to be so boring I don't want some guy telling me about Versailles in a monotonous voice that sounds like he does not care about what he's talking about at all. Can't they like...idk. hire museum tour guides for that? Or hire some person that spent ten years studying the history of the absolutist monarchy of Louis XIV and let them do the voiceover I guarantee you you will be more invested in it than with sir "I am reading this because I get paid to" over there that sounds like he could not care less about the french monarchy.

really hate the arranged marriage apologia coming from rich kids on social media these days. no it isn't "internalised racism" to hate a system that encourages endogamy, heteronormativity and caste supremacy lol

Eurocentrism is bad but at least it doesn't cut Asia in half like Americentrism.
