God I hate that fucking post like “no offense, Americans, but your impeachment system sucks”

Apparently OP got tired of people saying “yes, we KNOW” in the comments and was like “lol Americans are getting so mad about this”

No shit, Sherlock

When you phrase it in a way that suggests we like the impeachment system (“no offense” implies that you think we’ll be offended by criticism of something) we are obviously going to get a bit testy

Do you also go to people whose house got set on fire by arsonists and say “um, no offense, but the fact that this house is on fire is actually a BAD thing?” And would you then get miffed if they turned around and said, “yes, we’re aware. we hate it. we’re scared and trying to put it out. our house is literally on fire; how could we possibly not know or be offended by you saying so?”

People in dire straits tend to not like being patronized and implicitly blamed for hardships they didn’t cause

Imagine that

seeing ppl who’ve watched into the spider-verse blunder their way through portraying miles’ identity n personality as a young black boy is SO funny like the first 5 minutes of him sitting in his room, interacting with his parents, and walking through his neighborhood establishes so much but i still see yall running around talm bout homestuck and miles being a memer or whatever the fuck

ramdaughter

why focus on miles the gen z kid or miles the lgbt/neurodivergent metaphor or miles the generic that you’re clearly projecting on as a white person when you can see and treat miles for what he actually is: a teenage afro-latinx boy (who very likely has adhd !)

@vanillogical i’m right but you’re telling me to “step the fuck off”. don’t see the logic but i’ll bite:

you’ve clearly misinterpreted my post, and in an incredibly rude way at that. i’m bisexual, neurodivergent. and most importantly, black. you better be black too or i’m really gonna be irritated at you trying to police me on my own damn post.

non-black people often take black characters and swap out their core traits so that they become carbon copies of the person writing or drawing them. in into the spiderverse miles is into grafitti, rap/rnb, and basketball. he’s popular, sociable, and athletic. he loves his family. so where, pray tell, do the memes and internet trolling come in? how is his story an lgbt metaphor when it literally just follows his journey as a young black boy who becomes a superhero? none of the things you mentioned is mutually exclusive with being afro-latinx; i quite literally never said that. the issue here is that people are shoehorning those traits needlessly, with no justification beyond “i can’t relate to this black character, so i’m gonna change them until i can.” whether you realize it or not, that’s what you’re doing when you try to apply noticeably ooc traits to miles morales, or any other black character. this is the part of a wider issue of non-blacks finding themselves in capable of empathizing with or relating to black people. its annoying, and more importantly, dehumanizing.
