chaos my beloved

[ecosmowarrior]

it's like. somebody makes a joke about someone's weird quirk and you turn to them and say "it's because they're disabled." and they say oh shit! my bad! because everyone knows it's Bad to make fun of disabilities. and it's Okay to make fun of weird quirks. but that's kind of like saying "this person is only weird because they're weird!", isn't it? and so this leads to them saying "i didn't mean to make fun of them for their autism, i was just making fun of them for being weird! i didn't know the weird was because of the autism!" but the weird Is the autism, and so this way of thinking will never lead to an easy rule we can follow in order to never make fun of the Wrong Things. we gotta completely change the way that we reprimand this so that instead of there being Things you Can't Make Fun of and Things that you Can, and instead of there being Things you can Control (ok to make fun of) and Things you Can't Control (not okay) (<- how can anyone know by looking which is which?) there's something else, where all weirdness is celebrated and everyone gets weirder. making fun of people's weird quirks only really rewards people for being boring anyways. perhaps the funny joke can be competing to be the weirdest instead. others have said this more eloquently but anyways it's my job today to remind you to

GET WEIRDER NOW!!!!

Cannot stress enough the value of decorating. If something looks like you put it there it will feel more like it belongs to you. And you'll be surrounded by things you like instead of a white void. applies to your body as well

Very generally speaking, when you see a black man in a piece of media, be it tv show, movie, video game, etc. there’s something you often see a lot of writers do. To go against the stereotype of black men (and black people in general) being dumb and lazy, you’ll see this black male character being smart and an achiever. 

The Black Nerd. A common character type, the nerd will always be very interested in all things nerdy: science, video games, mathematics, etc. In an continued effort to combat stereotypes, the Black Nerd will be lack athleticism, probably being asthmatic (the nerdiest of conditions). The Black Nerd will dress smartly, suspenders and bow ties. They’ll always talk smart too, using proper English with complex words.

Now, I don’t have a problem with a black character being a nerd, indeed black people are a people; we aren’t all the same and we all have varying personalities. The problem I have is that too often we see a distinct disconnect between Blackness and the Black Nerd. The Black Nerd doesn’t listen to hip hop or rap, only classical music. The Black Nerd only has white friends, the only other black characters are into not nerdy stuff. The Black Nerd never ever uses AAVE at any time in any context.

And again I must say that Black people, not being a monolith, there are no hard fast rules to being Black. I’m more than sure there are Black people like what I’ve described above, I’m not saying it’s impossible; what I’m getting at is that the only Black Nerd we see. There are Black Nerds that play basketball, that bump Kendrick Lamar, and use AAVE since it’s an ever changing dialect. I’m just saying there’s no one way of being a nerd and no one way of being Black.

Well @dumbey, seems we’re in similar boats

This ain’t about him, this is about Black/Asian solidarity. Focus.
