Oh btw, it's Maria SKŁODOWSKA Curie<333

She was a Polish woman<333

She MARRIED a french guy<333

She KEPT HER FOREIGN, "DIFFICULT" MAIDEN NAME (as in, combined, but bro. It was 19th/20th century. She kept it on fucking purpose cause it sure as fuck wasn't the standard.)

Your misinformed misogynistic arses can keep calling her "Marie Curie" and claiming she was french once POLONIUM turns out to have actually always been named frenchum or some shit<3333333

Say I'm overreacting all you want, but Polish people have been unironically CHRONICALLY fucking erased from scientific research and discoveries etc throughout history, AND you're literally just erasing a woman's life, history, and heritage of which she was proud, and just defining her by a man she was married to. It's especially absolutely fucking disgusting when you've got her story erased and rewritten to show a girl's a "nerd and feminist and smart".

Fuck off.

Do better.

I mean, this is on me for forgetting not to check blocked blogs, but

You know how my bio says "any pronouns just don't be rude"? Yeah, considering that in this post this person calls me an ethnic slur and invokes a wildly slavphobic stereotype, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say their use of "it" is intended in the rude way

Disappointed but not surprised by the some of the blatant polonophobia in the Cyberpunk 2077 discourse.

Guys guess fucking what the last post I reblogged just made me remember

I used to "date" (it was complicated) a bitch who actively said that Polish people are lazy, unintelligent, straight up born with an affinity for evil, were all for concentration camps (ignore how we were actively slaughtered there too), etc etc

Shout-out to my silly brain and thinking that a person legitimately demeaning my entire nationality wasn't a red flag👍

I'm watching a documentary about Roger Waters' antisemitism and two notes so far:

This man literally talks like a less charismatic and more blatant Gary Oldman villain

His response to meeting a Jewish man descended from Polish Jews who survived the Holocaust was to say "I can make you feel like you're meeting your ancestors, I do a good impression of a Polish peasant woman" and then actually doing that which. Yeah, when you do something like that you deserve a cinder block to the face

I dare him to got to Białystok and say this

You ever see a post so bad it briefly makes you wish tumblr had a "thumbs down" button?

Cause that's how I feel about that "Poland is not a Russian victim" post

Polblr poll which of these is the most annoying. I have encountered all of these multiple times

"Polish remover" jokes

"kEySmAsH lAnGuAgE"

"You want us to use Marie Curie's real name? That's so entitled of you!"

[INSERT 'DUMB POLLACK' JOKE HERE]

"You say I shouldn't be a bigot, yet you're Polish and PiS exists. CURIOUS!"

Brexiteers pretending they've always loved Poles after shitting on us for years

"lol poles are such losers for getting invaded all the time"

"You should be thanking us for liberating you!" said by someone who hates Poles

other (rb and elaborate in the tags)

you're not Polish but you've been on the receiving end of similar shit
