@ajay-loner
hi!! my name is tomi (short from tomiris)
if we go by the sims terms, i think my aspirations would be knowledge and fortune :)
ive been playing the sims since i was 4 years old. my older siblings were big fans of the game and were playing it often, so i was curious and played it with them. this game series is my most favorite.
im mostly playing the sims 2, but lately ive been getting into the sims 3 as well.
all my likes and follows come from @digitalr0t
the reactions and conversations i've been seeing on simblr lately have been disgusting and disturbing. i'm coming to the realization that a lot of you guys are wolves in sheep's clothing. the response to black and brown simmers expressing their disappointment in the community they're a part of should never be "you are acting so entitled!"
entitled to what? a realistic experience in a community built upon a game that has always been about personalization and representation? is it seriously too much to ask to have hair cc that represents your own hairstyle in a sandbox life simulator? i'm sorry, but some of you have gotten extremely comfortable letting your racism show.
"i only make the content i want! if you want this kind of content, make it yourself!" you need to ask yourself why you only want to make cc based on eurocentric standards of beauty. why are you so afraid of having the slightest bit of melanin in your game?
i am a white person before i am gay, before i am trans, before i am autistic. some of you guys need to realize this as well. racism is a bonding experience between races and what i've been seeing is blatant and unapologetic racism. my friends have been getting dogpiled and dragged every which way by some very loud and very bold people who i think need to educate themselves. some of yall need to confront your own internalized racism. do not settle for a sub-par experience in a community that needs to do better just because you think it's what you deserve.
rounding this post out, i want you all to know that my page is made for people of any race, gender, sexuality, etc. i do not care what you look like, if you love this game the same way i do i want you to be a part of my page. that being said, racism, transphobia, homophobia, basically any kind of discrimination will not be tolerated. i use my own education, my own discretion, and my own block button to determine who i want on this page. do the same if you have an issue with anything i've said. i do not want you on my fucking page if you think referring to people of color as "you people" is acceptable or adult behavior. you look stupid as fuck.
to be honest with you i was pretty angry when i wrote this but i agree with everything i said. i want to add a few things onto this.
1. white people in this community need to start speaking up and speaking out against racism. it should not only be on people of color to express their disappointment and discomfort in a racist community. if there is a single good bone in your body and you are white, get angry, get loud, get defensive, and use your voice for those who get ridiculed, bullied, and even further harmed by racism when they post about it. do not turn a blind eye anymore. it is not only up to people of color to try to build a healthy community.
2. i want permanent change. we need to start calling these racist people out, we need to start excluding them. do not download or reblog their content, as far as i'm aware these people do not exist. who knows if this will bring real change, but we cannot be powerless and motionless.
3. intersectionality is the core of a great movement. we need to start caring about each other a lot more because individualism kills movements. the aim of the oppressor is to divide and conquer. if we start hating each other because "i don't like gay content" or "i just don't have a lot of people of color in my game" or whatever weak excuse people say noawadays, true change will never come.
i know i sound pretty hopeful about real reform but i think it's possible. i also know that there's some people going "why do you hate white people so much if you're white?" and i want those people to stop and think about what ive said for a moment. i do not hate white people. in fact, hate gets us nowhere. white people, myself included, are taught racism from the systemic structures that form a society and the people that bring us up. it is an unavoidable fact that all people have been racist before or are currently now racist. yes, that one time in elementary school counts. it all counts and it all matters. if people of color are forced to experience racism on the day to day, i think white people can confront the fact that we are the largest perpetuators of racist ideas.
so what do we do now? well, we aren't too far gone and i know that miseducation is a huge factor in racism. start using the resources at your disposal. you can start reading about it, angela davis is an incredibly accomplished author who has some great things to say. if reading isn't your thing, there are some great youtubers who speak on race-related issues. f.d. signifier's videos on black conservatism opened my eyes. foreign fridays/foreign man in a foreign land has some really great videos. they both analyze modern issues through a lens of intersectionality and critical race theory. please also note that just watching these videos is not activism or anything like that. use what you learn to help. get educated, it's free!
finally, my goal is to help. people get a lot less angry at white people for speaking up on these issues which you can tell by the way that my comment section is void of the usual ridicule and insults that people of color get thrown at them. if what im saying is counterproductive, or if i've said something insensitive, it is your right to critique me and my arguments. i want to do better and constructive criticism lets me know where i need to do better.
Because this person has turned off reblogs + replies to their original post I've decided to make my own in response.
This is by far the most disturbing reaction I've gotten to what was originally me expressing my frustration with the passive (and direct) racism of the Simblr community. First of all, no one said every white simmer is a racist. like ever. What I actually said is that the community has a lot of unchecked racist behaviors that need to be reflected on, and ideally corrected. Secondly, it is LAUGHABLE how you victimize yourself. If you're truly not a racist as you so claim, you wouldn't have felt so offended by my post that you felt the need to defend yourself. Because it was literally never about you.
But since you're here, let me tell you—just saying you're not a racist isn't enough.
Saying that you "accept everyone" isn't and was never enough. Anyone can say that, in fact the people that do are often the ones engaging in racist behaviors. Even if you do accept everyone, that's still not enough! Why do you think that just tolerating the existence of others completely absolves you of any responsibility whatsoever? If you truly want a leg in this fight you need to be AGAINST racism. You need to actively check your behaviors and ensure you're not participating in the silencing of our voices. Educate yourself. Report discrimination when you see it. Protest. Raise awareness for the hate crimes against people of color that happen EVERY DAY. Donate to your local anti-racist organizations. Literally anything. As a white person you have more power than I to make a change and hold your fellow white people accountable, yet here you are on tumblr.com crying that you're not racist yet doing nothing to prove it.
This was the truly disturbing part of your argument for me. Let me try to understand; you see a black person complaining about the racism they've witnessed (and experienced btw), immediately take it as a personal attack, and argue that No actually, I'M the one being targeted for my skin color. You know, as the White French European.
I was considering ignoring you entirely because that is probably among the most brainrotted takes I've seen on this platform, in fact I still haven't concluded whether you're a troll or not, but this is Tumblr. This type of ignorance is disgustingly common and it needs to end. I don't even know how to rebut this without stating the obvious. Let's just get this out of the way: YOU CAN'T BE RACIST TOWARDS WHITE PEOPLE. If you want to sit here and argue the dictionary definition of the word to me, just get off my blog because that is so clearly not what I'm talking about here. I'm talking about the structural prejudice, oppression, subjugation, etc. of minority groups that historically comes from, you know, white people. So to be sitting here on your lily French ass and imply that you are currently experiencing the effects of centuries of rape, genocide, ethnic cleansing, dehumanization, enslavement, silencing, antagonism, torture, and experimentation that white people throughout history have done to people like me, then you actually might be beyond help. Sorry.
But god forbid someone hate white people for the violence they've committed against them and their family members. That's the real racism, actually.
