its disappointing seeing (primarily white) people take concepts and frameworks that were developed in the context of systemic oppression and try to turn it into identity politics and when that ultimately doesn't work bc these concepts were not created to be individual labels/exact experiences of Every Single Individual but were coined to describe a trend or group experience or type of oppression etc these same ppl will turn around and demonize the entire framework, completely neglecting the original context and instead try to coin thousands of redundant concepts rooted in interpersonal validity that skirt around the original concept but never hit the nail on the head because they cant understand the missing piece is often community real world experiences

#doesnt work #and it also in their eyes bc they hear a word and half understand the basics of a concept #then try to teach it #and when ppl out of that group hear it and start parroting the butchered version of the concept they realize they were wrong #but rather than take a step back and acknowledge they have contributed to misinformation #they would rather demonize the frameworks in general and often end up being bigoted with buzzwords #but its ok bc they're white and obviously know everything /s #and this isnt abt one specific thing either its abt this entire phenomenon #and its frustrating to see it happen time and time again #esp bc the things that are often taken up and butchered are usually frameworks and concepts developed by black feminists #i inherently dont trust yts bc of this too #bc so many of yall will scream blm to the top of your lungs #but are so ready to jump on the vitriol towards any theory created by black women specifically #and would rather give dead white men forgiveness and build on their concepts than even try to understand black feminist theory in any way
