WHITEWASHING doesn't only mean making someone's complexion lighter or paler. its in the way you change their nose to pointier one, the way you make their face smaller, the way you draw their chin like its "delicate." whitewashing means to take away ethnic features poc have.

For many years, people of West Papua have been fighting for freedom from Indonesia. Freedom from over 50 years of bloodshed, injustice, oppression, rape, marginalization, and torture. Thousands of West Papuan people have been killed by the national military to silence their protests, and the number of deaths is still rising to this day.

The Indonesian government as well as Indonesian citizens outside of West Papua have decided to turn a blind eye against this issue.

HELP THEM. SIGN THE PETITION.

achilles going absolutely feral when he found out patroclus is dead, like hell yeah that’s what i’m talking about. patroclus was achilles’ anchor to being human, the fine thread that connected him to vulnerability. patroclus always thought that he’d be the one to follow his beloved everywhere but in the end achilles was the one following him to fucking death i'm literally losing my mind.

thinking about how the "amazhang" pun is racist as hell hmm

the fact that this joke started because people dont know how to properly pronounce frank's last name is ignorant as hell. "oh, i dont know how to say 'zhang' but i'll make a pun of it anyway teehee!" shut up just shut up.

here's another the thing: you DO NOT make asian names a joke. dont turn ethnic names into jokes for god's sake.
