White people who are one step removed from the privilege of a straight white cis man are more focused on bridging that step rather than working to dismantle the system of privilege in the first place.
this is a little one i call youtube animator art style
look at this meme I saw on a bridge in Chicago
Iām going to start exploiting this immediatelyĀ
when someone misgenders a nb person
this post is circulating without the important part which is unacceptable
the cis: what pronouns do you use? non-binary person: they. the cis: but whatās in ur pants? non-binary person: Bottom Text
Social media interns and executives are literally paid to identify trends in online culture and exploit them to get you to reblog/retweet/or otherwise spread their brand name. This whole recent outbreak of brands becoming āwokeā or pro-LGBT is nothing more than corporations adapting to the new social climate. Itās marketing, plain and simple. I know this may be hard to hear but please remember these corporations are NOT here for you (and arguably, never were). They, as always, simply want your money and attention.
Donāt screencap their posts. Donāt repost that epic clapback. Donāt spread their brand for them. Itās literally all part of their game.

when u meet a poc and they introduce themselves w/the white pronounciation of their name like no sweetie youāre safe here, roll the r
Like you might have to pronounce your names 6 times to me slowly like Iām a fucking idiot but Iād rather look stupid and learn your real name than have you give me your shortened version or nickname to make your name more āconvenientā for me to say out loud
except like literally no, donāt say this to a poc who tells you the anglicized pronunciation of their name
iāve seen a lot of poc calling out this post already but not many people have given longer responses so i will try to do that
1) my name is what i say my name is. when asked how to pronounce my name, sometimes i just say the anglicized pronunciation and sometimes i tell peopleĀ āthe anglicized pronunciation that i prefer is _____.ā i literally never introduce myself with the vietnamese pronunciation of my name.
2) for the well-meaning ally, it might seem disrespectful to use an anglicized pronunciation. please consider that it is also disrespectful to use or ask that i tell you a pronunciation other than the one iāve already given. to ask for or use another pronunciation is toĀ defy what i am telling you. thatās rude and disrespectful.
3) to do so also shows how entitled you as a white person are. you are not entitled to my name, my language, or my culture. you can have access to those things if i invite you in.
4)Ā āno sweetie youāre safe hereā āiād rather look stupid and learn your real name than have you give me your shortened version ā¦ to make your name more āconvenientā for me to sayā you might be a good person and a good ally, but iām inclined to think that youāre not. donāt assume that my decision to introduce myself with an anglicized pronunciation is for YOUR benefit. i would NOT introduce myself by a mispronunciation because iām worried that my real name would be inconvenient for you. it is MY preference for you to use this anglicized pronunciation. please think about why you think that poc are doing these things for your benefit. please think about why you potentially consider poc to be so subservient as to mispronounce our own names SOLELY for YOUR convenience. it has nothing to do with you.
4.5) re: being a good ally to poc. we canāt tell the difference between a white person and a White Person TM, but in my personal experience most are a White Person TM.
5) try to think about this.Ā āwhere are you from? no, where are you REALLY from? like, where is your FAMILY from?ā vs.Ā āhow do you say your name? no, how do you REALLY say your name?ā etc. itās the same damn thing. youāre not entitled to anything other than what i say to you. if i tell you iām from canada then you accept that as the answer. if i tell you my name is an anglicized pronunciation then you accept that as the answer.
i know a lot of white people reblogged the original post uncritically and i recognize that you are all trying and that you really are well-meaning in this sentiment. but please consider. if i wanted you to pronounce my nameĀ āproperly,ā i would have told you the āproperā pronunciation in the first place.
Also just, as a half-white person with a Japanese middle nameā¦. I never learned Japanese really and one of my biggest insecurities is telling other people how to pronounce my middle name, because *I* donāt think I can pronounce it correctly. So likeā¦ there are lots of reasons someone might be giving you an āanglicizedā pronounciation of their name and pressing them on that is definitely not great.
My dad works in healthcare and he went to a conference this week. Someone said in a presentation, āThe heathcare system is not broken. Itās working exactly the way it was designed, it was just never designed to benefit patients,ā which I honestly am blown away by as the most accurate and concise description of US healthcare that I canāt believe Iāve never heard anyone say.
thank you kevin spacey for continuing the narrative that gay people prey on children as part of their sexuality, we really needed that. gay rights!
end āusing āend cringe cultureā rhetoric to defend legitimately unacceptable fandom behaviourā culture.
Who wants to hear my new conspiracy theory about lawyers
Canāt legally lie, but they trade in half-truths and misleading language
Obsessed with contracts
Required to follow the letter (but not the spirit) of the law
Really good at exploiting loopholes
Range from semi-helpful to openly malevolent
Conclusion?? Faeries
How to tell the difference between one of the fae folk and a lawyer:Ā
Fairies get offended if you pay them.
Note: this does leave some interesting ambiguity regarding pro bono lawyers
How is this news to you guys have you ever even played Ace Attorney
Her last name is even āFeyā sheās not even trying to be subtle.
*het voice* Ā itās just more realistic when gay people donāt talk about being gay ever, you know? you see when i meet gay people they never talk about their relationships around me and
Iām fine if you want to talk about your homosexual relationships, itās when you say things like, ādid I mention Iām gay today?ā that really grinds my Klinks.
