#i am also very happy so many ppl still love myso despite its faults

[delicrieux]

im sorry abt the current discourse going on but i just wanted to provide my perspective. u obviously dont have to post or respond if u dont want to.

i was born and raised in america in a urban area and i had no fucking clue what AAVE was. i was raised by a african-american mom and hispanic father so i myself am mixed and i can assure u that there is nothing wrong with myso. the internet has spread AAVE like a wildfire to the point where ppl dont know that it is its own language. i did a bunch of research on it last night and from what i gather, to be genuinely offensive and malicious abt it ud say things like "aave is improper english," "aint isnt a word," "use proper grammar," etc.

i have ur post notifications on (& have for a while) so i see a lot of the things u post and u do use some of the language (more common ones like "ion" and whatnot) so i dont rly understand y some of these anons r upset. u werent putting AAVE down in anyway imo. u simply used the language that uve seen and absorbed in the internet.

as for the american anons that were upset, u have to understand that expecting ppl to understand topics like AAVE that isnt even taught to americans is absurd. AAVE is widespread on the internet (tumblr, tiktok, instagram, twt, etc) so for english language learners that learn the language through internet exposure, they dont necessarily know what AAVE is and that it is its own language. be understanding and have patience abt these topics. u literally couldve just said "hey i noticed u used a lot of AAVE in myso, was that intentional bc of yns upbringing in brooklyn or was it unintentionally done?" be kind. pls.

dee, i truly hope u dont let this discourse get to u and u continue writing myso. if u dont ill totally understand tho. sending love 💕

no, its completely fine! conversations as these need to happen, i think they are very productive, and everyone (besides a few exceptions, naturally) have been overwhelmingly kind & understanding, which i appreciate very much <3 thank you offering more insight. xx
