Y'all do know that people have to actually GROW in order for us to "accept their growth". That's the bit. You're not a child. You actually have to put in the work to become the person you want us all to assume you are.

I think leftists need to refer to the United States as a slave (nation) state more often. It has one of the highest prison populations per capita of any nation, slavery is legal as punishment for a crime, and Black people are disproportionately imprisoned and given longer sentences. The prison industrial complex is modern-day slavery

maybe it's me being a brown woman but i can't comprehend how & why people treat having a racist phase as a teenager as smth okay or a norm

[phruxx]

it's def not good but treating people who got better like they're still shitty people is a good way to make them turn back into shitty people

have u guys noticed the phenomenon that's like

- m/f ship between a nonblack man & a Black woman

- it's either canon (e.g. mel/jayce arcane) or entirely plausible (e.g. prism or coupé/robert dispatch)

- fanbase overwhelmingly pairs nb man off with another nb man and disengages from the Black woman character, shunting her into a background wise & sassy caretaker role (for which there is a name) or leaving her out of fanworks entirely

- fans who do this ^ claim it is an expression of love and admiration for the Black woman character, actually, bc the nb man (who may be her canonical partner) "can't handle all that" (he may be perfectly competent and engaged; she may be totally low maintenance; it has no bearing), she's just too wonderful (too much) and out of his league (lacking in flaws and interiority and fan appeal)

have we all observed this and can we see the multiple dimensions in which it is racist ☝️ i'm not bringing it up to make any beautiful fujos feel bad abt shipping this or that, just to ask for some consideration of what ppl are saying abt Black women when they make their excuses to each other. like you can just not make the excuses. yk?

Cleaning up before battle

[creatingblackcharacters]

I wanna know why posts about Black women get hit with mature content labels and you have to write a dissertation to get rid of a Nazi on this app, but people can make bots that spam sexual assault all day long to people they don't like with no repercussions. I want someone to make that make sense to me.

(popular leftist voice) these right wingers are so mad because they get no women. if you are a Good Person a woman will appear and suck your dick.

[lilkakow]

(popular leftist voice) these right wingers are all sooo poorrrr and stupid. They are stupid because they are poorrrr, racism would never exist in my suburban area

[zitongzi]

Popular leftist voice: these right wingers must have brain damage. They must be bigots because they are literally reta suffering from blsck mold, or brain damage.

[creatureofthecornfield]

if only people would acknowledge that right wingers can just be bigoted without a reason other than cultural context and social facilitation of bigotry

[creatureofthecornfield]

there's not some secret right winger gene or something, its just that bigots are socially rewarded for being bigots. if a person says a slur on live television, the right wingers will send them endless swathes of money after they gets fired. its beneficial to be a bigot for them, thats why they're bigots.

[thelesbiqueen]

Yeah there's nothing that *makes* you right wing other than being evil and hating human life and happiness. They're not that deep, there's no socioeconomic, biological or other issue that made them right wing.

They're just straight up evil.

[creatureofthecornfield]

good and evil arent real? are you being sarcastic i, there are factors that predispose one to being right wing (way your raised, whether you're a minority, etc) but the post was tslking about how people are often saying classist, misogynist, and ableist things to explain why right wing people exist.

[thelesbiqueen]

What would you call someone who thinks children should starve if their parents can't afford food?

What would you call someone who thinks neurodivergent people should be kept in asylums, if not out right exterminated?

What would you call someone who believes, whole-heartedly, that queers should be put to death or tortured out of existence?

What do you call someone who thinks the extermination of Palestinians, Lebanese, and everyone else in the Middle East is perfectly fine? Who calls a genocide "self defense"?

I call those people evil, you call them right-wingers.

I don't see a difference.

Their class, raising, able-bodied status or sex doesn't make a difference.

They're just the scum of the earth.

[evilclone1]

(popular leftist voice) these right wingers all have an ineffable quality about them that makes them want to hurt people, and investigating the root causes of those beliefs means that you're literally doing villain apologia and probably also have the ineffable quality that makes you want to hurt people. probably what we should do is find a way to get rid of all the evil people, and then everything will be perfect.

[afropunkpercy]

white queer tumblr user: yes well MAYBE being a nazi is bad but have you considered that those poor right-wingers had a hard life? you should be more considerate of the white devil lynching Black kids because what if he was fat and neurodivergent

[fedorahead]

people bag on tumblr for neogenders and mogai silliness but

tumblr is more true to the source than anyone else

Okay here's my obligatory post about Tumblr users and their ignorance of rap, as a (white) fan of rap:

Saying "Not all rap music is about violence, here are alternatives" is not helpful, because the violent music ALSO has meaning.

When Biggie Smalls postures about his gang connections and packing heat, he isn't doing it because wow violence is so edgy, it's a powerful statement. Youth in urban areas where gang activity is heavy are often treated as lesser than by default, especially compared to black people the same age from a wealthy background. There's a reason that the "wholesome and respectable" black-lead entertainment of that era was stuff like the Cosby Show, with doctor-lawyer parents, or Family Matters, with a cop dad. There's a reason why the big joke of Fresh Prince is someone with a more unstable upbringing moving in with one of these model black sitcom families.

Standing up and saying yeah, I came from the mean streets, I was molded by this violence and yes, I did what I had to do to survive in a world that refuses to acknowledge my existence as meaningful or worthy of protection. I protected myself, I made my own way, and fuck anybody who tries to stand in the way of that.

Refusing to demonize that environment and wearing it like armor in a way that protects from the authority that wants you to see them as sub humans incapable of only violence and hatred, and saying HEY. I'm here, I lived this, and there is love and there is pain and there is ART in this.

That is powerful. That is the essence of gangster rap.

It isn't about hurting people for fun, it's about holding a mirror up to a society that does the hurting and then calls you a monster for what it's made you. Its about validating the experiences of the disenfranchised and biting back at authority. It's about turning a pain that the world say you deserve being one of those people from those places into POETRY. Into ART.

And thats why it matters.

And thats why you need to shut the yell up and stop dismissing it as violence without substance when you all sat on your ass listening to songs about Hatsune Miku eating people in middle school.

White people when they don't know how to engage with a Black character: They're SOOO prettyy/hot

[vibrantstarfire]

ladies… has anyone ever told you it’s okay to be feminine 🩷 i’m sure no one has ever ever ever reinforced this deeply held secret, that’s it’s okay for you to be feminine. 🩷 i know the world totally tries to tell you that you have to be manly and masculine and grow your body hair and eat as much as you want and get strong and stand up for yourself and make waves and take up space and show your bare face and show your anger. but it’s okay to do the exact opposite actually. 🩷 it’s okay to shrink yourself down to the exact same mold every other woman is expected to conform to. 🩷 did you know that it’s okay to be feminine. 🩷 did you know it’s okay to be feminine. 🩷 did you know it’s okay to be feminine. 🩷 has anyone ever told you it’s okay to be feminine. 🩷 will you be feminine. 🩷 will you be feminine. 🩷 will you be feminine. 🩷 will you just be feminine already. 🩷🩷🩷

It's important to have at least two blorbos that fit into specific roles in your life

The blorbo you can look to in hard times, and ask yourself what they would do in a situation, and draw motivation from them on how to be better and stronger!

The blorbo you can look to in hard times, and remind yourself that no matter what happens, you probably aren't going to fuck your shit up as much as they did even if you actively tried
