#the yannemango are not real

[slaughtergutz]

im just thinking about how bloodlines is such a racist fucking song honestly 

people not getting that Nathan is literally a satirical take on white men who claim native ancestry because of a percentage in their geneology is really telling about tumblr’s comprehension 

brendon literally wrote nathan saying he was “1/84th yaneemango” in an interview once im ajshnfgkhl guys please

editing this post in case the tags are illegible for whatever reason: 

#i don't know how to tell you that comparing native people to bloodthirsty animals is uhhhhhh

#extremely dehumanizing and racist

#nathan cannot reclaim this imagery he isn't real

#brendon is a white man

#the yannemango are not real

#and in any case they were also never victims of genocide on account of them literally being a thriving people in a remote part of the amazon

#the experience of remote tribes living in the amazon is not anywhere near the same as native people living in the USA

#'but people call him tonto' yeah i think you're missing the point bud

#yes he is literally 1/4th yannemango but i reiterate the above statements

#the fact that brendon spoofs that is like HELLO GUYS IT'S RIGHT THERE

#putting this stuff in the tags while also having there be a read more is pretty pointless but

#listen we've already come this far

#i guess you could headcanon him as actually trying to engage with his culture or have other native ancestry but that would be kind of

#missing the entire point

#i would tag this but i really don't feel like fighting off dethklok fans because They Really Are Like That

and boy did they not disappoint! the only thing brutal here is people’s thin skin and poor reading comprehension honestly
