[missmayhemvr]

its a near daily experience that people on this site will show they are gleeful to prove they segregate themselves from the lives, culture or knowledge of black people.

>Predominately Black led piece of media becomes popular.

>Among the characters there are one or two White characters with minor and/or distinctly antagonistic roles.

>White tumblr users focus entirely on said White characters.

>Tag of Black led piece of media is filled with posts about White character(s)

>Rinse. Repeat.

[the-stormwagon]

I think the most charitable interpretation of this is that people connect to characters that are like them, and that the experiences of Blackness is so alien to them that the White characters are the only ones that White people connect with. Combine that with the fact that Tumblr is so White as a platform, and you get this issue.

It’s still bad and racist, but it is understandable. People should still do better though. (I’m not trying to justify, I’m trying to come up with an explanation)

[the-quasar-hero]

Please don’t make me say it.

[tartrazeen]

We don't need you coming up with an charitable interpretation.

Or maybe the reason people like the queer character over the two related het characters is because of the queerness.

If Smoke and Stack weren't related and Mary and Annie were in a relationship then things would be so much different.

But there are so little black queer fantasy movies or shows that no one blinks an eye.

Where are the black gay vampire hunters? The enemies to lover black lesbian werewolf story?

Sinners 's problem isn't a racism one. It is a queer one.

[creatingblackcharacters]

This is such a bad addition. You don't get to call a movie bad, "having a problem", or "generic het slop" because it wasn't about what you wanted it to be about. That's not how creation works. "Generic het slop" please go be racist on someone else's posts 😭 And Remmick isn't queer. He's just a white man doing what white men- especially straight white men- have historically done.

being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years

[seravph]

what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past ‘dresses are for women and pants are for men.’ i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we’ve made

[autoenucleate]

“We’re in danger of losing what the entire second wave of feminism, what the entire second wave of women’s liberation was built on, and that was ‘Biology is not destiny’. ‘One is not born a woman,’ Simone de Beauvoir said, ‘one becomes one’. Now there’s some place where transsexual women and other women intersect. Biological determinism has been used for centuries as a weapon against women, in order to justify a second-class and oppressed status. How on Earth, then, are you going to pick up the weapon of biological determinism and use it to liberate yourself? It’s a reactionary tool.”

— Quote by Leslie Feinberg, from TransSisters: The Journal of Transsexual Feminism, issue 7, volume 1. 1995.

[creatingblackcharacters]

If you think Remmick's behavior in Sinners towards Sammie was in any way queer or motivated by sexual attraction, boy do I got a book you'll love!!

Join your fellow centuries of believers as you learn the racist history of white people (yes, the women too!) taking advantage of their enslaved Black victims' bodies in any way they saw fit, because they had a psychosexual obsession with the power they held over them! I'm sorry, I mean the "enemies to lovers obsessed vampire trope"!

This is important. Never stop caring, continue to be ticked off, educate others and do your best to fight against the systems and suffering.

I believe in you, you are all worthy of dignity and respect.

Palestinian diplomat Husam Zomlot explained in his interview with The Independent:

“Israel is always in search of an enemy because they don’t want to deal with the biggest elephant in the room, which is the Palestinian people. We have warned the world for years: if this can happen in Gaza, it will be done elsewhere. And here you go. We have said so many times: what happens in Palestine does not stay in Palestine. Whatever happens in Palestine spreads to the rest of the world."

[closet-keys]

92% of residential buildings in Gaza have been damaged. Most people (1.7 million) are living in displacement sites where living conditions are dire due to overcrowding and inadequate access to basic necessities like drinking water, soap, lighting, safe cooking fuel and shelter materials.

Over 170,000 Palestinians have been seriously injured, with 18,500 requiring urgent medical evacuation, but they are being blocked by Israel's crossing closures. 120,000 children will need treatment for acute malnutrition this year. 58,000 children have lost one or both parents.

Over 9,500 Palestinians are incarcerated by Israelis, subject to brutal torture. A new law enables the systematic execution of potentially hundreds by hanging.

This is what is happening in Palestine. The future is shaped by what we do next. We must support the survival and self-determination of Palestinians.

[closet-keys]

My friend Mahrah @mahrahpalestine lives in Gaza with her elderly parents. They rely on donations for all of their basic necessities. This campaign is their sole source of income to buy food.

My wife @cannilyuncanny hosts her family's campaign and sends the donations directly to Mahrah. The campaign is vetted by @90-ghost and was shared by fairuzfan.

Any money you can spare will be the entirety of their grocery budget for the week. Please send them enough to survive.

[stoptheantisemitism]

Are we at all surprised that Israel has dropped the charges against their IDF soldiers who were caught on camera RAPING Palestinian prisoners???

What a disgusting country full of rapists and modern day Nazis.

[stoptheantisemitism]

Its so disgusting how many Zionazis on here are celebrating this. Unlike the Oct 7th rape hoax this actually happened. It was filmed.

The reason Israel is dropping this case is because they want to keep their troops happy. Israel is driving so many wars all over the region they think by dropping these charges they will make their military happy. That's it. That's the reason

People need to understand that k-pop is literally korean hip-hop. HIP fucking Hop! A Black genre. BLACK. I don't care how you try and spin it and what racist black erasure rhetoric you want to pull out of your loose ass. It's Black and Korean mixed which means you can't have one without the other. It wouldn't even be a thing without Black influence and participation. So once again, ya can't have one without the other.

From the way they dance. From the cadence. The beats. The makeup. The fucking twerking. Quit it. They want everything from Black people but to give them credit. I hate it on this planet.

From the book What This Cruel War Was Over by Chandra Manning:

During the Civil War, most Union soldiers didn’t care about the issue of slavery and were more focused on preventing the collapse of the United States. This would change as many Union soldiers encountered horrific circumstances of slavery and it’s widespread influence on southern society, with accounts like these: “Pvt. Chauncey Cooke experienced an epiphany when a fair-skinned slave woman whose children had been fathered and sold by her master told the young Wisconsin boy that her children looked like him, and that she missed them dreadfully because she loved them “just likes you mammy loves you.” ” “When an Iowan encountered a young child about to be sold by her own father, who was also her master, he vowed, “By G–d I’ll fight till hell freezes over and then I’ll cut the ice and fight on.”Sgt. Cyrus Boyd.

True horrors wake people up in the past and in the present. I feel like one of the only recourses a lot of people have is to share accounts and footage of ICE atrocities to as many people as possible.

This quote leaves out that Boston citizens rioted over Anthony Burns, repeatedly tried to break him out of jail and interrupt the trial, even killing one of the men guarding him. They also protested peacefully, attempted to purchase Burns’s freedom, offered him free legal counsel, and petitioned the mayor not to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act. When Burns was finally taken aboard ship, they followed along with a coffin to symbolize his freedom dying.

The president called in the US Marines and the state militia (in addition to the US Marshalls who arrested him and held him in jail) to allow this one man to be dragged back to slavery.

There’s more, which you can see on Burn’s Wikipedia and on the Committee of Vigilance’s page, the abolitionist group founded after the Fugitive Slave Act to protect and aid Boston’s large community of escaped slaves & black citizen.

All this to say, civil disobedience to the people coming into your community and stealing and harassing your neighbors is an American tradition.

[voidingintotheshout]

For those who do not have the moral fortitude to click on that Wikipedia link, here is a snapshot of the rest of his life:

“Burns was eventually ransomed from slavery, with his freedom purchased by Boston sympathizers. He was educated at Oberlin Collegiate Institute and became a Baptist preacher. He was called to a position in Upper Canada (Ontario), where an estimated 30,000 refugee African Americans, both enslaved and free, had fled, to gain or retain their freedom. He lived and worked there until his death.”

When I wrote the whole "neo-nazi trans girl prison camp" plotline in TLGS I thought I was writing fantastical science fiction. I thought I was literalizing metaphors and extrapolating ad absurdum and more than once I thought "This might be too wild, I might need to dial this back"

I didn't know I was writing Don't Create The Torment Nexus

Tl;dr we now have compelling reason to believe that the past decade's massive wave of escalating institutional transphobia as well as the media push to normalize said transphobia were deliberately engineered by a handful of rich assholes and the uniting factor amongst them all is--wait for it, you'll never guess--Jeffrey Epstein and his bad files we're all talking about

[gingamingayo]

when black people protested over police brutality the optics were literally never in their favor. white people talked more about the ethics of disruption and vandalism and looting than they did police brutality. and when they maimed and kidnapped and murdered protesters, those names never went viral. so it's real insidious to see how public opinion sways when it's white people in the streets. white people can block traffic and trash ice headquarters. white people get a whole new narrative. they get the martyr treatment. then they act like this violence is unprecedented and something like this has never happened before and we all have to sit here and watch history get rewritten because white people want to be the heroes now. this shit is fucking diabolical.

[gingamingayo]

and the funny thing is white people have truly learned nothing from these protests. their whole playbook was co-opted from blm and yet they're still making excuses for ice. the takeaway for them isn't that ice is inherently evil, it's that trump's ice specifically is untrained and violent. they think the national guard will save them. they think regular cops are on their side. how fucking laughable.

[anglaised]

and none of this is like new either they used to eat slaves during and BEFORE chattel slavery/the slave trade…theyd use black babies as crocodile bait…as testing dummies…as lab rats….they used to skin us and use that skin for furniture like this is hardly a new state of the world it just so happens ppl with great power tend to be skewed towards violence bc no one can stop them or those who can are few and far between, cannibalism being a hot topic rn with these files is rlly rattling some ppl (and it should) but ultimately this is Very American, like …extremely american..this is not a new or unique evil this is prime USA
