I heard people on reddit were hating on Aabria Iyengar (reddit hating on a black woman? how shocking!) and calling her disruptive (people calling ttrpg actors of marginalized genders disruptive and ignoring when cis men do the exact same things? how shocking!) and I just find that so funny because I began DMing this year after watching hundreds of hours of D20 and I end up mirroring Aabria's DM style the most and all of my players so far have really congratulated me on my DMing and really enjoy it, as do every single player Aabria has ever DM to, so it's like... How lifeless do you have to be to shit on one of the decade's best storytellers because you can't hide your misogynoir with baseless criticism?

Anyways Aabria is THEE best actual play DM out there and every episode she DMs inspires countless people, specially black women like myself, to go out there and take ownership of this medium and tell our own stories and have fun with our friends

Lowk more excited for Fran’s season than Eloise because Marina’s death is always gonna leave a bad taste in my mouth. She deserved so much better. And how are they gonna make Eloise sweep in and raise Marina’s children when she isn’t remotely interested in taking up a parental role? I love Eloise & this is bullshit. I’ll take slow burn wlw with a gorgeous Black woman as the main love interest any day fuck the disposable Black girlfriend trope and the “you’ll find the right person eventually” mentality

Don't let tumblr's little pride flag like button distract you from staff's transphobia/transmisogynoir!! They are constantly terminating trans people from their website! Especially black trans women!

If anyone has an analysis or anything to say from the pov of a black woman in the church/out of the church/also an eldest daughter, I would really love to hear the feelings that Vera’s story evoked!

I know the stereotypes that this story specifically touched upon but any intersectionality or any academic break downs (simple enough for me to understand) on the misogynoir would be very informative to hear!

And if anyone reading has any video essays by black female academics they wanna share 👀👀👀 I wouldn’t be opposed!

Let me start suiting up for war. We're looking at less than two weeks before the premiere of The Bear.

Gotta get myself ready to say that Sydney existing and also being a black woman is indeed not a moral failing.

It won't matter what happens in S3, that's the thing. Those types of people don't care. Mysogynoir is gonna be popping off, it's already seeing a resurgence on other platforms.

I'm sick of the #lol #got'em moments that circle round of cis (usually black) women being harassed because someone thought they were a trans woman.

Never mind the fact that you're making a mockery out of a person's traumatic experience. It reeks of "cis women can look like Ugly Men(tm) too!"

Like tell us you prescribe to white beauty standards some more why don't you.

It's in the same vein as accidental ally stories for me.

Anyway, the takeaway here is, please don't? Please just call them racist, transphobic, and misogynistic instead of laughing at the harm they cause.

I agree with most of this Twitter thread. The double standard is obvious. So many of these bastards were not banned or even reprimanded. It took years, if not decades for them to get Weinstein and Polanski, but hey let's take care of Smith with a 10 year ban. Really?

Of course, the blatant misogynoir directed at Jada Pinkett Smith isn't mentioned.

A lot of folks (including supposed allies) showed their asses. The racism was and is overt.

Ten years? Fuck them.
