making this post ruined my life

i think a lot of you or rlly all of you should stop using war criminal as a “cutsie” self descriptor and like. google what that means, especially if ur american

[anglaised]

like genuinely y do u as a white american even feel comfortable giving urself a username like “nonbinarywarcriminal” do you know what war crimes american soldiers do to the global south specifically to the women and children there? maybe we should be informed on that, maybe we should do some required reading

throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s, our generation was inundated with aave. it eclipsed lolcat as the "funny way to talk." ain't nobody got time fo dat turns into dat boi o shit waddup. this is blatantly not an "aracial" or "gen z" way to talk. it IS black english. not to mention the amount of black reaction images!!

WHY, specifically, is it black peoples' facial expressions that are seen as just so comical or exaggerated? analyze the history of this nation's comedy and tell me why you might be predisposed to thinking of black peoples' faces as just, "more emotive" or exaggeratedly funny than a white or nonblack person's

and throughout those years, 00s-10s, many black bloggers -- victims of the mass staff-led purge (under the cover of them being 'russian' while reichblr still exists) -- they DID tell us it was a problem, DID try to educate people who freak out at the insinuation of 'being racist,' DID argue, DID point out the duplicity and the appropriation and the gross equivalence of african american slang with unintelligence, goofiness, etc. and they were ignored, abused, cancelled, chased off, until being eventually mass deleted by our racist transmisogynistic staff.

we didn't do enough, and the generation after us gen z "kids" didn't stop the trend. using the '-ahh' suffix. rizz. no cap. ate. delulu. it's giving. it's serving. crash out. lock in. aura. tea. main character. bruh. slay. real. keep it 100.

all of the following images are or were popular reaction images! what do they all have in common?

it feels like the effort to categorize slang as AAVE and not 'gen z' or 'gen alpha' slang has really petered out. it feels like we stopped talking about digital blackface in an era where the administration is posting ai-generated videos of black women who speak and act like exaggerated stereotypes and it frustrates me because we all have a responsibility to understand our generation's role in normalizing this type of racist shit for kids today. this needs to be addressed!

Black people will never stop talking about this, but when we are on sites such as Tumblr, where so many of the white people feel that not only are they not racist, but that calling their racist behavior racist is emotional warfare on them, they will make sure to keep Black voices as silenced as possible.

Also, a lot of the Black people who got deleted or run off of the site weren't even accused of any type of Russian anything. A lot of them were just run the fuck off by the white Tumblr base on harassment shit.

cryin' shame that walmart markiplier is just too sexually charged to be on tumblr smh

the secret cheat code for women is realizing you dont have to date men

[curseworm]

this doesnt just go for lesbians it goes for bi women and straight women too. i cant even count how many times straight women have told me “i wish i was a lesbian so i didnt have to date men” but guess what … u Dont have to date men 

[curseworm]

to be clear this also isnt necessarily saying ‘go date women instead!!’ its just saying…. u dont have to date men. u dont have to be dating women in order to not date men! in fact if ur not attracted to women at all please dont date women just as a substitute for men. but if dating men isnt making u happy… u dont have to do that. u dont have to make a space in ur life for men

[curseworm]

im singlehandedly destroying every mans mental health by telling women its ok to not date them

Literally of course I believe everybody can be reformed however the willingness of white queers to laugh about having a Nazi phase and the prevalence of 4chan to the point of claiming it’s some sort of universal experience and right of passage is insane like you laughing about how youre a reformed former nazi really doesnt do much to make me think youre reformed

[anglaised]

ik ik it’s 7 am but it rlly tickles me that those types always always always use black people as an example and they do that bc black people are treated as inherently more masculine than other races, the fact that u only choose black ppl as an example when ur talking about “misandry” is bc we are hyper masculinized bc of race 😭 u pick us as a example bc of the racist society u live in telling u we are more masculine and violent than average, u r feeding into racism and u dont even realizeeeee

[cheaphalloweencostume]

i can hear through the screen when someone says “yall” because they absorbed it online and not because theyve ever said that shit irl

boyfriends and dogs. some of the most contemptible beings on this earth. yet some would try to convince you a "golden retriever boyfriend" is desirable or cute

[gerardwayspostcocaineweightgain]

it’s actually wild how terrified of the general public most usamericans are. like you don’t realize it if you’re someone who mostly walks and takes transit and spends a lot of time in populous public spaces but then you talk to one of the thousands of people that seemingly never set foot in any public space besides a parking garage or a starbucks and you suddenly understand why it’s so easy for fascist rhetoric about the dangerous alien to take root. this country’s median voter pretty much never interacts with strangers who aren’t their coworkers or people they met on dating apps

[gerardwayspostcocaineweightgain]

saw a post on instagram that was literally someone citing statistics saying public transit is one of the safest travel options out there and the comments were literally just “ummmmm op this is so ableist and misogynistic of you :) don’t you know the average public transit user is a dangerous violent criminal who wants to set you on fire :)))”

[gerardwayspostcocaineweightgain]

it must be so terrifying and sad to go through life convinced if you set foot outside your car in public or interact with people outside your nuclear family you’ll instantly be raped and robbed by the Evil Poors no wonder so many of these people are reactionary tar pits

[gerardwayspostcocaineweightgain]

important points which I did not address but should be appended ☝️☝️☝️☝️

[gerardwayspostcocaineweightgain]

ITT:

- people giving their life story to explain why they have a special secret valid trauma reason to be a reactionary tar pit

- white true crime women assuming I don’t know what it’s like to fear rape

- fascists calling me a euroslave

- cybersmith, for some reason

these ppl have taken “the state should not be allowed to kill anyone” and mangled it into “therefore if you think anything bad about a rapist ur basically murdering them and thats worse than rape” like. what is going on. u r not doing restorative justice by telling victims they have no right to safety or to protect marginalized groups from ppl clearly preying on them due to their marginalization……

It’s funny how lying is so common and like not surprising at all but when I get lied to the way I act like I just found out what lying is. Like why would someone do that? How is that a thing ? It can’t be a thing there’s just no way

[probuccalfat]

avoidance is lowkey funny because it’s like i don’t want love on the off chance that it gets taken away from me and then i have to become john wick or something

[probuccalfat]

we’re all on the only social media that matters and this is why.

the thing about being traumatized by something that your society doesn't really even consider to be a real thing, particularly when most people struggle to even believe that trauma is real, is that it makes your entire life and self illegible to the people around you. which for a human being is of course compounded trauma. like. you can see me sometimes but you cant read me. i am written in a script you have never heard of. but people do broadly assume that everyone is legible to them, so they just sort of superimpose the alphabet they were taught over you and decide that must be what you are. i think a lot about the study that was like, just moving through the world as a Black person creates trauma, and a lot of that trauma is in the material circumstances that have been imposed on Black people but also? a lot of it, i imagjne, is from the disconnect and alienation that results from a majority of the people in the country in which you live not believing that the material circumstances that created your situation even exist. if they believe that they EVER existed. im sure there's discussions of this from the perspective of racialized people (and if anyone has some links to discussion of this phenomenon from that perspective i would be interested to read them, esp if looking at it from a disability perspective as well,) and it is different just on a community level, i think, than my experience, but it is always an example i think of when i am thinking about this phenomenon. social-relational trauma is so fucking real. and its this endless recursive trauma-mirroring effect internally when no one can actually see and understand your experiences. like. bouncing a laser off one hundrdd mirrors. i've used too many different incoherent analogies now and i think if i keep writing this post a big hook is going to come and yank me offstage
