genuine question.
when and why the fuck did so many of the big bloggers across all of these communities forget the saying "you are white first before you are anything else". i feel like so many of these people who spout bullshit about these topics and let their white privilege show it's ass in full force have completely fucking forgotten about that concept and that is why they get so fucking mad when people point it out, which is why it pisses me off so much to see these people fucking defending the shit that they do.
You are white first before you are trans. You are white first before you are disabled, or queer, or anything else. Your privilege is in fact determined by your skin color, and YES, that means you cannot and should not be giving your fucking opinion on shit like raceplay. Two goddamn decades of me seeing my people suffer and cry for help in the streets only to come on the internet to come find an escape to see people excusing the sexualisation of our suffering. The fetishization and commodification of my skin color, my hair, the stereotypes that surround me and other people of color, and for what?? for WHAT.
And it doesn't just stop at raceplay. I've seen countless lily-of-the-valley skinned niggas defending incest and pedophilia with their WHOLE CHEST, and when you call them out for it suddenly it's not their fault because they're gay or trans or intersex or indigenous or depressed or have trauma or- and suddenly, I'm the bad guy. Like pedophilia and incest don't affect real fucking people. Like they haven't affected ME.
I can't tell what makes me MORE mad; the fact that the ISFF crowd will cry white woman tears because you tell them pedophilia is bad or the fact that crowds similar to them, populated by mostly queer white people, will use therapy speech to scold you and get you to back down and agree because you're being "rude" and "arrogant" and need to "shut up". It's all the same white shit, coming from the same white people who are all preformative and superficial in their want to help POC. It all comes from a place of wanting to feel better about themselves.
If I said half the shit the people I've talked about here on this blog say with my chest I would be hunted for sport expiditiously and shot, rightfully so. But when a fucking white person says it and cowers behind their white, fragile tears and token POC, that crowd is ALL for forgiveness and "well it's a matter of autonomy!! Don't police other people!!!".
Just say you're racist. Like genuinely just fucking say you're a bunch of racist WHITE assholes that like doing whatever you want because none of it affects you personally, cuz that'll save you your time.
You have white privilege. Even on the internet. Fucking check yourself.
