also, google is free, but pick up a textbook every once in awhile. Find articles written by POC and keep up to date with how you can be a better ally. I took a black feminist theory class in college…taught by two white women.

You heard me right. Two. White. Women.

Which is fucking insane in itself, but on the first day of class one of the professors was reading an article, written by a black woman…and decided that it was completely acceptable and appropriate to drop the n-word (hard r) and every single person in class was fucking MORTIFIED. Even in the context of education, there was no reason for a white professor to so casually and subtly use that word. (They were called out for it immediately after and profusely apologized)

My point is that covert racism is still racism, and unfortunately it is alive and well.

I also have all of the articles and works saved from this class if anyone would like to do some heavy and necessary reading! I have hard copies, but I’m sure I can find the links for the articles as well.

Just after doing a little research on google, I found these articles to be incredibly helpful on breaking down covert racism, racism, white privilege, etc.

covert racism

systematic racism

racism and health

becoming trustworthy white allies

what is white privilege

books on systematic racism, racial justice, and anti-racism

race equity tools

Bottom line, white people have no excuse to not stand up for BIPOC. There is no excuse for racism. There is no tolerance, and we have to do better. I firmly believe that the first step in becoming a better ally is to educate yourself.

“There Will Come Soft Rains”, Ray Bradbury

having an evil shixiong: most normal thing in the world. in fact if you don’t have an evil shixiong you need to really carefully consider the possibility that you might be the evil shixiong

having an evil shishu: also extremely normal. what, you can have an evil shixiong but your shifu can’t? grow up.

having an evil shidi: also fairly common, although there might be a larger issue at play so keep your eyes open for that

having an evil shifu: this is itself an issue, since you are now in one of the classic Confucian Conundrums and have to choose between sacrificing righteousness or filial piety

having an evil disciple: come on man. this one’s on you

romanceyourdemons

having an evil shimei: stop what you’re doing RIGHT now. as of this moment, your one and only mission is to unconditionally support your evil shimei, no takesie backsies

having an evil shijie: ccan i get yuor shijie’s number. please

being a system is so weird. im the only guy in our system properly afraid of bugs thats so not fair

Something I see getting overlooked a lot when discussing queercoding in historical media is that in many cases it's not evidence that the writers secretly shipped it; it was aimed at straight dudes specifically to freak them out. Depicting a male villain as sexually interested in a male hero reads as horror to the cishet male audience. Like, Venom didn't spend years and years being blatantly characterised as Spider-Man's creepy stalker ex because Marvel's writers were all closeted yaoi fans. That was meant to be scary – which of course doesn't mean you can't read it differently, but don't give them credit they don't deserve!

"lock in" is probably one of the most important phrases to enter the public lexicon in the 2020s

Dirk's not that high on the groomer power scale. He's just not got the backbone for it, he couldn't even groom Hal right he felt bad about it and gave into his demands. Ult!Dirk's groomer power level being high can't be a point towards A!Dirk cause he had to get some Bro in him to do it.

Speaking of Bro despite fanon he's not got the highest groomer power level either, he literally got groomed by Cal

Meaning objectively Hal is the most powerful groomer in all of Homestuck #HalSweep

On it. Weakest to strongest:

Davesprite gets groomed by Dave and can't groom anyone

Dirk could try groom Dave but he wouldn't have the heart to go through with it all the way he'd guilt spiral about it. Best he could do would be reverse grooming Dave into grooming him to be snuffbait, which Dave would have the inclination towards but would need a lot of pushing to actually enact

A!Dave grooms Dirk but Dirk doesn't take a lot of convincing to be groomed by a!Dave at all he's a natural at it, he's not even trying it's mostly by accident. Conversely if a!Dave doesn't groom Dirk then Dirk is gonna groom him. A!Dave still gets a spot higher because he would easily groom Dave where Dirk wouldn't have the heart for it. Child star x scummy director on the casting couch type deal

Bro can groom a!Dave but it's gonna be a power struggle, he does keep in better shape so he can overpower him and more importantly exploit a!Dave's drug addiction for grooming purposes

Ult!Dirk grooms Bro but it's a painstaking process. He has the advantage of having memories of his life and more powers meaning he can overpower and exploit Bro but it's gonna take a while

Hal groomer number 1. He's got the brain for it, having been forced to hone those kinds of psychological games without feeling the remorse or guilt or even denial the other Striders was.

#this is so fucking funny to me
