Black people: Please do not use AAVE unless you are willing to respectfully learn about its source and avoid fucking it up.

White people: Nah, we're just going to take the words and phrases and make them mean whatever we want them to. That's just how it is.

Black people: Okay, then you're racist.

White people: I don't understand why you all are mean to me!!! Why don't you all like me??? Why don't you think I'm funny???

“lindy was sooo evil” “justice for gothic paul and ricky” they were all friends they were all rich white kids living in rich white kids only land happily and willingly…. don’t be tricked into sympathizing with any of them just bc they were nice or smart and don’t pick just one to villainize while excusing the rest pleeeaassee

Some people need to unlearn that shit that's like ""being queer is inherently pain and suffering and weirdness and ostracism and we're so quirky and the more quirky and hated you are the more queer you are 🤪🤪""

While it's true that our marginalization is an experience we can understand and connect over, I need you people to STOP FUCKING SAYING that queer reality is absolutely defined by being ostracized and alone and misunderstood.

Do you understand what kind of future and community you're building for queer kids. A community filled with doomerist self-martyring where only the most suffering or misunderstood are the most worthy queer. Do you see the white christofascist roots.

Compounding identities do not make you more queer. "weird" or "hard to understand" identities do not make you more queer. Your pain and suffering do not make you more queer. Oppression is not a symptom of being queer.

Queer people do not need to present perpetual victimhood to be queer.

Kind of reminds me also of how a lot of white women also kind of do this in fandom spaces too. They take say, discussion of racism and antisemitism in fandom spaces as “purity culture” that is not what the term refers to at all

and claim fandom criticism and discussion is either a slippery slope or equivalent to calling for censorship.

Many of them are in a strange perpetual crisis mode that fandom is always in danger (in countries like China that actually is the case where some fanfic writers have allegedly been arrested and some fanfic archives are blocked in the country).

It’s not disimilar to how say anime bros get mad anytime people discuss depictions of/or inherent misogyny in anime storylines (see the backlash to anime feminist’s discussion of Shield Hero)

Also see negative reactions to the #endotwracism campaign

why do people feel like Wyll/Mizora ship is normal. like why are you like this. for some reason they’re way too comfortable shipping it, while let’s say, Astarion/Cazador ship is marginalized in the fandom (even liking Cazador kinda is. but not Mizora). wtf is wrong with you people.

thinkin about a post i made several years ago about how the feminist movement collapsed into the mainstream commodified 'girlboss' 'feminism' and radical feminism when it should have transitioned into intersectional feminism because people will do ANYTHING to not have to listen to black women

idk who needs to hear this but you can hate taylor swift without siding with the ai porn guys. disliking her isn’t an act of misogyny but ai porn of her is an act of misogyny despite her whiteness and wealth and power. like this is fr my problem with most ppl who hate her - they just abandon all of their principles when it comes to her. like we do realise she can suck and also not deserve nonconsenual porn made of her right?

White entitled racists have to lie to pretend that they are, somehow, victims.

I think the reason people sit around pretending like youtube and twitch aren’t alt right cess pools is because they can’t be convinced to give those platforms up so they need to pretend they're good platforms. Yeah Kick has Adin Ross but Youtube platforms Ben Shapiro who has actively caused mass shooting with his bigoted videos. Youtube literally made the alt right pipeline Kick come out of. Yes Kick has slurs and Twitch invented the concept of the hate raid. Or even twitter it's run by a lunatic who wants to kill all trans people and these hoiler than though stans give their money to that. So it's ethical consumerism but well off Americans and Europeans decide the ethics 🤷‍♀️

seeing people harass Ethel Cain on this dumbass website. this, the queer erotica website. i love you my mutuals and I’m sure nobody who follows me feels this way but I’m going to say it anyway: if you misgender and deadname trans people, it’s on sight with me. if you liken any queer people to child predators, I hope you literally choke on your own bile. accept and support and uplift trans people or suffer my wrath. terfs, I pray on your downfall and applaud your misfortunes.

white queer people genuinely cannot find the time to self reflect on their behavior without saying that black queer people speaking about behaviors within queer spaces that are usually very specific to white people are hiding their misogyny or transphobia or transandrophobia (???) or transmisogyny or homophobia or bigotry behind the word "white". Yall genuinely cant do anything but not misinterpret black people's words to create new problems with speaking about white peers in their communities and use them for white people (you) to deflect criticism. yall cant try to understand a black person's perspective on performing certain behaviors without screaming how they're being "blatant bigots" hiding behind the word "white". Yall cant do anything but deflect and demonize us when we acknowledge yall whiteness and how it affects your perspective on performing behaviors that are tied to structures by (cishet) white people that are meant to harm marginalized people

Mostly just throwing spaghetti at my own mental wall and seeing what sticks, but I have Unorganized And Poorly Articulated Thoughts about the fact that Ekko and Jinx are around the same age, lost their guardians and peer groups at the same time and in a deeply traumatic way, etc.; and yet I feel like Ekko's status as a victim of their broken, oppressive, and exploitative social landscape doesn't receive remotely the same acknowledgment or weight as Jinx's.

While I'm sure that that's due in large part to the fact that Ekko has been successful at building a sense of healthy, mutualistic belonging + community with others in a way that Jinx clearly hasn't, it's nonetheless worth noting that [A] he had to build that and learn how to take care of both himself and others when he was still a child, and the maturity he exhibits is a direct and tragic result of his boyhood being cut violently short; and [B] failing to acknowledge him meaningfully as a victim and a kid, just because he seems to have 'turned out okay' or some-such, reads very distinctly to me like an extension of the documented tendency in our own world for people to "adultify" young black boys due to perceiving them as older, less innocent, and more threatening/less in need of protection than their white peers.

I do, in fact, hold the Jewish community collectively responsible for Zionists.

Individually? Of course not. Anti Zionist Jews exist as individuals. Many individuals are shut out of their own religious community, especially those of colour.

But as a community where Zionism is so socially and institutionally entrenched that the minority of dissenters are disowned and ostracized?

The global community of which only a handful of organisations openly advocate for Palestine, and even most of those paternalistic and co-opting Palestnian voices with liberal Zionist sympathies?

The western majority that institutionally benefits from white colonization and imperialism and silences its non-Jewish Black and brown critics?

The same majority that will never own their privilege or culpability or complicity in the colonial project before and after the Holocaust?

That helped the West exceptionalize it to cover up their exponentially larger and more enduring colonial crimes?

That distanced themselves from their white colonial privilege at the expense of BIPOC by insisting theirs was not a religious marginalization but a racial one, and continues to punish us for not treating them as racially oppressed?

Whose very demand to be automatically exonerated from the Palestinian genocide is reflective of their white and Western privilege?

That successfully broke the ties Jews of colour have to their own racial communities through Israeli ethnic cleansing and Zionist propaganda?

That uses JoC as shields, tokens and weapons against all the above charges?

The JoC that have purchased the privileges of Zionism and enfranchised themselves by betraying their own races?

The community that has used the charge of antisemitism to police Black and brown folks for decades, making it a knife against our necks?

I absolutely, 100% blame the global Jewish community.

The Global South will not forget. We will not forgive. All people with white skinned European descent are our oppressors. All people nourished on the teat of the imperial core are the foot soldiers of white supremacy, no matter what their race. We owe you no exoneration.

Me pulling out receipts whenever the public and media starts to become too overly-sympathetic to White female public figures who have been problematic or caused harm becos they are the victims of something:
