#it's so disgusting

[fenrichaita]

it's funny how the paradox of being a patient means not wanting treatment is just more of an excuse to force it on you. wanting treatment, on the other hand, means you're not sick or less sick, so you have the honor of being either handed nothing even when enthusiastically asking for help or being placed on a waitlist. Wanting something or withdrawing consent only ever gives mental health professionals an excuse to do the opposite of what you're asking for. Or, there's always the third option: where they disagree with you on the treatment you need so you end up being coerced into taking medications or undergoing treatments that are unwanted or don't work for you---because the symptoms that are actively affecting your every day life are not seen as the problem and some other thing is zeroed in on, due to the arbitrary hierarchy of severity through which mental health professionals view psych DXes.

Really hate how Disney casts young women of color in a lot of their live action content and does nothing to protect them from the backlash they know they're gonna get

Why do people keep trying to get others to say the n-word just cause they're African? Like, you realize not all Black people are Africans, and not all Africans are Black, no? It's just such an odd and off-putting thing to randomly drop mid-convo. Especially when it's a "woke" friend. You should know better than this. You do know better than this. It's equally as bad when a non-Black person of color, regardless of their race/ethnicity, says the n-word as it is when a White person does. It's a slur that was made to degrade, humiliate, ostracize and oppress a group of people of which you are no part of. It's not something you can reclaim, and neither can I. I shouldn't have to explain this to you, but since it's apparently not common sense:

No. I can't say it, babe. I'm from the north, and while, yes, Black North Africans exist, I individually am not one of them, and generally, they aren't the majority, as apposed to the countries south of the Sahara. We (anyone who isn't Black) have no right saying it, regardless of whether or not we're people of color. Because, guess what? We aren't the ones who were enslaved, lynched, brutally murdered, disregarded and erased on the basis of being Black. We aren't the ones this word was used to justify aggression towards and alienate. If you're so obsessed with slurs, I promise we get called a handful that you can reclaim, so take your goddamn pick. But I beg you, for the love of everything good, stay away from the n-word.

hey also

the reason sophie's point went viral is that a lot of people want to disrespect Black women and virtue signal their hatred of Black women and anyone who likes that shit is trash

Were proshippers rampant in 2009 or was everyone just shipping children with adults

Why are the ones who ship Jinx and Silco also the ones who romantically ship Jinx and Vi? Are you people all without parents or what???
