A follow up on that vague post/rant about racism in the fandom
Sorry for making a separate post, but the reblogs of the original were getting so clogged I just had to. Please check out this post right here for the necessary context.

Ok moving on to my rant
Crazy how I wasn’t even gonna drop names and bro decides it’s time to be on bullshit. Apology or not, do you know how crazy it is to bypass being blocked?? And to bypass being blocked by a person who
1) does not want to fucking talk to you
2) you were racist towards.
Not even basic or “normal” ignorance but straight 19th century era racism. Who does that. Tf is going on in Russian schools that they’re teaching PHRENOLOGY
Also notice how when they listed out the “different races” they don’t actually use their phrenology era terminology. They don’t say “Australoid, Caucasoid, Mongoloid” they make sure to say “Australian race, European race, Asian race”. Why not say African/black race? But nah “NEGROID NEGROID NEGROID”
Is that not crazy y’all
You can really tell that this apology is less to legitimately apologize and more to quell their own guilt and embarrassment.
1) There were many people involved in this conversation, but they’d only ever reached out to @bakiuwu . Repeatedly too. Why? There was a whole group of people and you ain’t ever apologized to no one else?? Not that the apology would ever be worth it.
2) They had followed me sometime after the incident. I did not realize it was them, so I followed back. After I realized this I had blocked them. So………….if I’m the co owner of the server and had the server pinned to my acc ANNNNNDDDD my bio says that I’m black. You had to have realized who I was. Like there’s no way. Weird asf to go follow a person who you were racist to like how hard is it to just stay away
3) they very clearly behave as if they’re entitled/desperate to see people’s content. They literally admitted it to @bakiuwu in the tiktok screenshots. This is very clearly the motivation behind these “apologies” as opposed to being remorseful. Because if someone were truly remorseful, they wouldn’t have dragged the. convo as far as they did
4) I want to remind everyone that this isn’t us flaming a person for being ignorant. In the initial incident they were given MANY chances and MANY explanations. Honestly, they should’ve been kicked immediately. But there is a nuanced conversation to be had about how alt right sentiments are peddled in the education systems. It’s not their fault that they were taught these things at a point in life where they didn’t know better. But it is their fault that they decided to be bull headed as fuck about it when other people were nice enough to correct them.
5) I know I’m focusing really hard on the old screenshots, so this will be the last thing I say about that point in time. But it’s EGREGIOUS how their white ass decided it would be ok to default to the “ah man these silly Americans are dumb and sensitive” when a whole gaggle of people from different countries and continents were telling them they were wrong. And then it’s like…the two black people explaining why it’s wrong to call them negroids are dumb and sensitive? Might as well have called us monkeys
So circling back to my main point. I don’t want it to sound like I’m saying you shouldn’t apologize when you wrong someone. Especially if you were in some way bigoted. I think many people need to practice discretion and understand when it’s sensible to reach out and when it is not.
Their behavior, their “apology” (again, I believe it’s wildly insincere but I’ll get to that) is so inappropriate because why are you trying so hard to facilitate contact with people who do not want it.
Sometimes it’s best to apologize. Other times to leave people the fuck alone because you’ve done enough
Literally going out of your way to disregard the boundaries of people you’ve caused issues for shows me that they only really reached out cause it was keeping them up at night. Then it’s like. The person asks who you are and to remind them of what you did and you can’t even own up?? They shouldn’t even have had to ask.
Accountability 101 is being able to be immediately honest and transparent even if it causes you embarrassment. Because…..YOU DID IT. And to be like “aw man I’m glad you don’t remember me” like I know I keep saying it but you can tell they’re only reaching out because they’re mortified. Not because they can actually conceptualize just how harmful their behavior was
Like gtfo bro omggggg. All of this has led to you being put on blast lmao 😭😭😭😭
