HIIII~~~

Walking on a dream If we were to listen to our heads of lightOh, my mother was frightened by a shotgun, they say Stole my children, left my son I'm gonna give my aimless love

I just finished a really amazing manga. I really find it to be one-of-a-kind and...it's very beautiful. A lot of the boring cliches aren't there, and the protagonist is really relatable. 

I'm sad that it's already ended. I wish there had been more volumes. 

This is the kind of work I'm going to make. It speaks to the heart.

Please read Ashita no Ousama.

wingsandtails said: these racists can’t imagine ANYONE empathizing with ‘those other people of color’ because they themselves can’t. simple as that.

there's such a huge element of 'white as default' for this kind of thinking too?? like poc are expected to sympathize with white people (and so many of us do, because that's what's been conditioned from the start) but there's no expectation of the reverse. white ppl will relate to other white ppl on the same axis of marginalization but somehow manage to pass over poc because... like, they simply don't... regard nonwhite people as human beings with the capacity to be harmed and affected by the same things they are

and it's not even completely about empathy (because i personally have very little of it HAHAHAH) but even on a moral and logical level, they've somehow managed to rationalize that it's totally fine to (AHISTORICALLY) erase people of color from any narrative they relate to, and see zero problem with sidelining and actively tearing down poc who are 'inconvenient' to a certain dynamic [/STARES AT PACRIM FANDOM] to justify representation for some other aspect of their identity

doubly ridiculous because they can find plenty of the same elsewhere, it's not like our media is lacking in ANY kind of representation for white people. pick any kind of oppression and there is a series or movie or book that depicts it for a yt, while poc have to constantly remind people that we exist and have existed and are people

and dhara already said it but it's fucking humiliating that instead of being able to freely engage with media or critique and meta like white fans can, we have to preface everything with a reminder of 'by the way, we are real and exist' and it's tiring as all fuck

(this is also somewhat related to my hypothesis that no person of color can be considered neurotypical because the ways we engage with life & society have been fundamentally changed and are constantly being taxed in ways that a neurotypical and even neuroatypical white person would never have to deal with)(and i do mean all poc because even the ones who aren't cognizant of the social and institutionalized levers of oppression still develop coping mechanisms for survival-- denial, assimilation, whatever works)

(and that's not even taking into account the ways our cultures dictate our actions and mental processes according to our gender & appearance & class etc etc etc) (or the poc who are dealing with mental illnesses & other brain things that weren't caused exclusively by living in a white supremacist society) (BUT I THINK THATS A DISCUSSION FOR ANOTHER DAY LMAO)
