[this-is-internoirism]

internoirism is, i think, really well wrapped up inside the whole “clanker” trend, which on top of morphing into explicit antiblack pastiche, also has an interesting way of likening black people to objects via comparison to ai. completely degendered, dehumanized, treated like spare parts. it was a terrifyingly sobering realization for me that even the white people who consider themselves leftists and activists have deeply rooted antiblackness that they never bothered to unlearn, just waiting to rise.

This is internoirism.

Ableism as well (people were saying that shit to fucking amputees) and yeah I agree. That's kind of just how they treat black people and it becomes twofold when intersexuality is put into the mix.

[this-is-anti-masculinity]

Someone trying to tell me that marginalised men were never oppressed because of their gender when I was bringing up how dark skinned men and disabled men are demonised by using typical masculine traits to portray them as threats to general society.

This is androracism and androableism.

Its literally a fact that black men get arrested at a the highest rate compared to other races due to being stereotyped as dangerous for their skintone + masculinity, and that disabled men (especially neurodevelopmentally disabled and/or schizospec men) will get arrested or harassed for being under suspicion of being on drugs or for "suspicious behavior."

Being masculine absolutely intersects with marginalized characteristics.

[this-is-anti-fandom-culture]

when people act like being in fandom is something black people can't do and call me whitewashed for writing fics especially noncanon ships

This is anti-fandom culture and racism, specifically noirism/anti-black. (I believe that is the term, correct me if I am wrong.)

It is something I say way too often. Considering fandom spaces and fandom interests to be something only white people can enjoy. I have no clue why this is the case— but often enough, it’s just folks not wanting to POC enjoying something “uncool”.

[this-is-amato-heteronormativity]

i'm a black aromantic and recently i've slowly come to realize racism and arophobia share a lot similarities. my worth as a person is primarily determined by my usefulness/proximity to someone else, whether it be appealing to ideals surrounding whiteness or romance. i get told i'm not a safe/whole person without a superior partner, i'm told my life is meaningless if i'm not providing service to someone else, ppl trying to "fix" me (tame the beast or turn me allo), etc. like the more i think about it most of the prejudice boils down to the normative idea of personhood is defined by an arbitrary amount of labor you're "obligated" do for society

This is arophobia and noirism (or as I call it, amatonoirism.)

[this-is-internoirism]

Please do not call half black people "mulattos" if you are monoracial. Not your place and highly degrading.

[this-is-anti-masculinity]

idk if this one counts but

im a black girl who is not personally queer. yes, not in the slightest. but whenever i state this i usually get hate by (usually white) queer people just because im not queer myself and therefore im "dangerous". they also associate my blackness with masculinity and act like im gonna attack them for it so yeah

people will literally say your gender or sexuality doesnt make you evil and then demonize conformant people for who they are. no friend im not gonna assault queer people just because im not one of them, ill be supportive to them and call out queerphobia as much as i can. but associating my blackness + conformant self with manhood and evilness is kinda fucked up dont you think

This is misogynoirism and anti-allyship.

Its disgusting how Black women are masculinized against their consent by association of race.

Non-black people take Blackness, treat it as inherently masculine (unless its a trait they deem "feminine" like lips, then they hyperfeminize + hypersexualize it), and that masculinization + peoples demonization of masculinity leads Blackness to be treated as inherently dangerous and evil.

It's horrible and I hate how often I see it.
