#just the negative response to ratohnhaketon alone shows you how unaware and unwilling white americans are to accept someone like that

Been thinking a lot about how smiling and making small talk for no reason are white social cues -- especially white American social cues -- not just in video games but in real life. Which makes me even more glad that Ratohnhaké:ton never compromised himself for white men's comfort.

It's a reality BIPOC in America have to face, even if it's in the context of work or school and not murdering people (lol), and God. It's hard.
