I love women with weird relationships to gender and butches and brown girls and black girls and lesbians and trans women and disabled women and girls that go by he/him and mentally ill women and fat women and bisexual women and women who are combination of these things

learning to notice an absence of people of color is crazy. you start seeing it everywhere. ill see a random pic of characters or people or whatever and be like "these are all white people. why"

gandalfsbignaturals

all the babies in those baby youtube video memes. humanized character posts. like. its the little innocent shit. and like, the people making those baby memes probably arent seeking out white babies. maybe theyre just easier to find. but why are they easier to find? a complicated question, surely... but you know what it probably comes down to. someone, somewhere, maybe a lot of someones in a lot of places, made a choice. maybe knowingly, maybe not. but they made a choice. it starts to make you feel like a conspiracy theorist!!

its really funny that after 2 months this post is still making racists come into my askbox treating me like im a horrible person for pointing out that sometimes people of color are excluded from things in visible and offputting ways. cry about it

Being a fan of female characters in fandom is it's own kind of torture because a guy can be a jerk to just about everyone with one moment where he doesn't and people will grip onto that, but a woman is a little bit rude or has an outburst during high stress and she's scum of the earth. Whatever. Whatever. I'm fine. I'm normal.

Yeah that’s about right

please stop harassing black people off this website. it's like stormfront for toddlers on here. it sucks, stop it

dumbpuppyfag

idk how "black people should feel welcome on this website" became something you have to say out loud. if black people aren't comfortable or safe on here then that is our failure. be anti-racist or die.

This post and the notes did make me laugh a bit. It has so many notes in part because a non black person said it. People love to hear about anti-racism when it's not a black person. Which could mean nothing!

It’s like stormfront for toddlers on here

This made me laugh specifically, because I think the problem is precisely that because it is actually not like stormfront! Non black people in general, and white people in particular, have this very specific idea of racism. If they’re not saying direct slurs to people, or advocating for Transatlantic Slavery 2.0, they are not racist. This is why I have seen several blogs I have seen engage in antiblack racism happily reblog this post because to them, there is no contradiction.

But in this white supremacist, capitalist hellscape we live in, Antiblackness is a community bonding activity, as many black people have continued to point out before and since the days of Ida B. Wells.

Antiblackness is like a campfire people can warm their hands at, and experience camaraderie with other people.

Marginalised people on here and IRL participate in antiblack racism, because the process of being actively forced to the margins of society is painful, disabling and alienating. Non black women, disabled people, poor people, queer and trans people etc who find themselves at the margins of society often desperately cling to whatever lifeline they can, and that lifeline is frequently antiblack racism. It’s familiar, easy, and already embedded in society! Then, at the margins, these people reproduce the *same* logics of patriarchal, settler colonialism white supremacy as the cis white men and their institutions at the centre who pushed them to the margins in the first place!

if black people aren't comfortable or safe on here then that is our failure. Be anti racist or die.

This easy to agree with, especially when it’s not a black person saying it! Which is evidenced by the fact that this post has been reblogged by users that have carefully built communities with a hard vein of antiblack racism at the centre. lol.

Black people are uncomfortable in communities on this app precisely because the glue holding a lot of your online circles together IS Antiblackness. The glue is clear and thus invisible so it’s easy to deny. It’s like the ghost in the machine! It’s so much a part of your social circles, what you talk about, how you talk about it, then you feel so confronted by us shining a light on it, you lash out or melt down until the black person feels so uncomfortable they leave. Or when it’s pointed out, you can rationalise that it’s not even a problem:

Black people who called you out are too blunt, too mean, too African American! In 2016, the excuse given to ignore Black bloggers talking about police systematically killing black people was called ‘election interference’. Lol.

This line of thinking has evolved; recent dismissals of the Black people who make critiques are: oh these Blacks are imperial chauvinists and have misunderstood and misapplied Marxism (or anarchism!)

Another new trend: the womanhood and femininity of these Black (trans) women is alien (not white enough!) and so they can’t understand our superior (white) feminist theory;

Another big one: Black people are too vengeful, emotional or childish, and can’t understand or prison abolition, or youth liberation. (This one genuinely spun me)

Non black people on here can be generally trusted find a convenient and social-justicey reason as to why Black peoples criticisms can be dismissed. because the reason isn’t ‘we hate them because they’re black’, they can rest assured they aren’t actually racist.

Conscience clear, the average antiblack tumblr user

reblogs posts like this, which are not written by black people (what a relief not to be confronted directly by Black people’s words!)

and goes back to the embrace of their antiblack community.

And the cycle continues!

Is there another social media website that lets harassment campaigns just run off so many users like Tumblr does? It's extremely "I think you're just feeding cats to coyotes" as of late but staff is doing it on purpose at this point.

foxgirlmindcrank

Like they've defended the bans of trans women under their 'any reason or no reason at all' catch-all but they refuse to do anything about harassers that very much are violating real TOS rules. Harassment is the ONLY report that has a character minimum to file. Blogs that get spam reported as mature have posts automatically flagged or get auto deleted. It's a whole machine set up to reward the worst people and most bigoted behaviors.
