Tumblr users are often so arrogant and it shows. They can draw a full cast of POC characters but when POC say āHey we want more than just our skin toneā theyāre suddenly deaf as shit.
Representation on Tumblr has become a way for white people to win brownie points just because they took a Hersheyās bar and slapped it onto a personās skin tone.
The most disgusting thing is that they insist on making JUST African-Americans. They insist on making JUST one facial type, one nose type, one lip type, one hair type, one slang type, one skin tone.
And when they make a person Asian, itās Japanese. And when they make a person Hispanic, itās Mexican. And when they make a person indigenous, they never specify on which tribe/nation they came from, but youāll bet theyāre Native AMERICAN.
But my favorite part is when other POC demand representation and those same fucking white people are like āBut but but look at all my black characters!!!!ā
POC isnāt just confined to America.
POC isnāt just black.
POC isnāt just Japanese.
POC isnāt just Mexican.
POC isnāt just Native American.
Itās from the Miskitu in Nicaragua, from the highlands of Ethiopia, from the deserts of Saudi Arabia, from the mountains of Indonesia. Itās from the arroz con gandules, from the folk music, from the festivals. Itās many cultures blending, itās speaking more than just English, itās dealing with racism unique to our countries of origin.
Itās more than just one universal experience, and white Tumblr isnāt willing to show that.
Basically for the people who refuse to fucking read
Can you guys do some actual fucking research on anywhere other than whats at the borders of America before you slap a random ethnicity or race onto a character?
Btw: White people PLEASE reblog but do not clown on the post.
āfrom the highlands of Ethiopia,āĀ
thank you for not forgetting us <3
anyway yāall better not be talking shit about Ren heās literally having a mental breakdown because heās 18 years old and what is this
I have yet to watch V8 because the negativity of this fandom makes me nervous to, but from what I do know-
help #ProtectRussianTransLives
currently, there is a russian bill being pushed that will:
- allow sex markers only on birth certificates, thus disallowing trans people from changing their gender marker and forcing those who already have to change theirs back.
- re-label current straight marriages involving a trans person asĀ āsame-sexā, and as gay marriage is illegal in russia, no more straight couple involving trans folks will be allowed to marry and those that are already married will no longer have their unions recognized by the government.
- birth certificates will be requested at the time of future marriages, disallowing folks who changed their documents after transitioning from getting married, as their birth certificate HAS to indicate their birth sex now.
- no longer recognize gay marriages that were performed outside of russia. some of you may remember similar things happening before gay marriage was legalized in all 50 states - a gay couple could leave their state to get married somewhere where it was legal, but when they returned home, their marriage would not be recognized.
- and couples russia considersĀ āsame-sexā - both gay marriages performed outside of russia and straight marriages including a trans person performed in russia - will no longer be able to adopt or otherwise become legal guardians of children.
hereās a carrd on the matter, and twitter threads in english and russian. if you can speak russian, hereās a way to submit a complaint to the state duma.
if nothing else, sign this petition. if you can, donate to this russian lgbtq+ organization. if you have a platform at all, post this information, use the hashtag #ProtectRussianTransLives (as well as #ŃŠ²Š¼ŠµŃŃŠµŃŃŃŠ°Š½ŃŃŠ¾Š¾Š±ŃеŃŃŠ²Š¾Š¼ and #ŠŠµŃŠ¢ŃŠ°Š½ŃŃŠ¾Š±Š½ŃŠ¼ŠŠ°ŠŗŠ¾Š½Š°), and get this message out to as many people as you possibly can.

Oh, and by the way⦠I donāt go in for shellfish, let alone an old rotten clam, like you, whoās been nip-tucked into oblivion. I only eat premium, wheatgrass-fed man meat⦠uncut.

anxiety.
Or, you know, you could just stop saying sorry.
I take it you donāt have anxiety.
You canāt ājust stop saying sorryā. You do something, something so little, like accidentally bump into someone. You feel horrible about it. Your brain starts panicking and you have trouble trying to breathe. You stutter an apology. They say itās okay, but you accidentally do it again, and you apologize again. They just say āAha, you can stop saying sorry.ā And you feel horrible that youāve probably made them angry or upset, so you mutter out an apology for the third stupid time, and they just say to stop saying sorry.Ā Stop saying sorry.Ā
You canāt just tell someone to stop saying youāre sorry.
ā¦Wow. Iām usually the one that tells people to stop saying sorry. I actually learned something on Tumblr, thanks!
my best friend does this all the time. might I suggest that instead of telling people āstop saying sorryā to tell them something a little softer like āno need to apologize!ā or āno worriesā? I know the last one sounds a little contradictory for someone with anxiety, but as someone with anxiety, even small reassurances that itās okay mean everything to me.
I usually say something like āits okay, you didnt do anything wrongā if the apology seems like it comes out of nowhere. Iāll also ask what they think they did wrong and reassure them about that.
This!Ā If you get angry at someone for apologies and other forms of self-deprecation, youāre not only making them feel worse but sending a strong signal of rejection.Ā Ā āIām not responsible for your obvious mental problems and donāt want to have to see them, if you canāt behave acceptably donāt be around me.āĀ Itās an effective way to make someone avoid you whenever possible and cringe inside when they canāt, if thatās what youāre after.Ā
If you actually want to support the person,Ā reassure them instead.Ā It can be a simple rote thing likeĀ āitās okayā orĀ āno worriesā, as other people have suggested; youāre not responsible for āfixingā them or discussing the behavior. Make a reassuring noise and move the conversation on.Ā Ā
TheĀ more I practice social conversation with strangers, the more I settle in to thinking that much of our verbal communication is like bird calls - the word content doesnāt matter, weāre pinging signals back and forth, and repetition is common.Ā Are you there?Ā Iām here.Ā Are you friendly? Iām friendly.Ā Iām scared? ItāsĀ okay.Ā Ā
āIām not responsible for your obvious mental problems and donāt want to have to see them, if you canāt behave acceptably donāt be around me.ā
YES. THIS IS IT, THIS IS WHAT I HEAR WHEN PEOPLE TELL ME TO STOP SAYING SORRY. Also if they tell me to ājust drop itā or āstop putting yourself down.ā
This children is something you have to absolutely stop doing. It make indeed the other person feels even worse.
My family always tells me that the more I say sorry the more it loses meaning, like itās something that doesnāt mean to me anymore, but thatās just not true
There was an arrest across the street from my place in Oakland one day ā three cop cars with a bullhorn and guns out ā and before I could even get out the gate there were a couple people posted up and one of them was filming and another one was narrating in a calm but very loud voice, just
āHE IS COOPERATING! HIS HANDS ARE EMPTY! HE IS DOING WHAT HE IS TOLD TO DO! HE IS HOLDING STILL! HIS HANDS ARE EMPTY! HE IS NOT BEING THREATENING! HE HAS PUT HIS HANDS BEHIND HIS HEAD AS ASKED! HE IS NOT RESISTING!ā
and that was something I hadnāt thought to do before. It certainly let the cops know what the narrative of eye witnesses was going to be.Ā
I especially likedĀ āhis hands are emptyā because this statement would still be true and a witnessed reason the police should not become violentĀ even if it turned out he had a weapon on his person somewhere.
I see people in NYC stop and record a lot. Even if they are just being nosey, thatās still witnesses if shit goes down.
We must be vigilant.Ā The New Solidarity.Ā You might just save a fellow human being.
If you donāt feel comfortable with doing the narrating thing (which really is quite clever), even just standing around and blatantly staring actually legit helps immensely.
There are studies that show that even an image of someone looking can be effective to change peopleās behaviours.
Sidenote: If you see a cop stopping an Indigenous person, the same protocol applies.

Reading darkfic only gives me empathy for the characters, doesn't make me evil.
How's this for a hot take?
Consuming dark fiction, though it allows the audience to empathise with morally dubious or outright evil characters, nonetheless increases their overall amount of internal empathy towards other people. Not just bad people benefit from an overall increase in empathy.
Consuming exclusively sanitised, fluffy feel-good fiction with no counterbalancing dark sides does not increase the audience's empathy, because anyone who cannot empathise with The Littlest Cinnamon Roll, who has adventures dealing with happiness and friendship and harmony, is already a lost cause. Rather, such fiction, when all other kinds are excluded, normalises the idea that the only people worth empathising with are the morally pure cinnamon rolls who have never done anything wrong in their entire lives. The normalisation, and reinforcement of same through the standard life cycle of a fandom, reaches such a point that as soon as the characters in question step outside the boundaries of that bubble of innocence by doing (1) problematic thing, they are cancelled for crimes against humanity and the fandom tears itself apart.
This is my explanation for not only why fandoms for fun kids' shows tear themselves apart over the slightest perceived creative slip-up, but also why the most passionately engaged fans of these things (who more often than not precipitate the rot/collapse) tend to be such toxic people in all other spheres of life as well.
Scalding. I dare say boiling. Bravo
You know that ties in really well with Milan Kundera's observations about what he called 'Soviet kitsch,' and the prioritization of that kind of sanitized positivity by authoritarian regimes.
Dark fiction gives you something to relate to emotionally and mentally. Sometimes you don't need fluffy, sweet, happy endings. You need real life, relatable, dark shit that makes you feel less alone
So I remember some other post about representation that said we need mirrors that reflect ourselves being represented, and we need windows to representations of other kinds of people so we can learn empathy And I think seeing dark and light fiction both is a similar thing. We need light fiction (because only dark is depressing) and show what healthy good relationships can look like (esp if you never had any as a youth) and we also need dark fiction for the above mentioned reasons
