since my quiz suddenly blew up out of nowhere take it and put which anime character trope you are based on very specific questions about your childhood in the tags

also this needs to be said, but if you’re nonblack and you are co-opting off of the blm movement but you are shit to black people in real life, fandom, online, etc., then you are still anti-black. i say this in light of the fact that there are some people who have histories of ignoring black people and being anti-black, but when it comes to making themselves look like they care and good people, they’ll re-share hashtags, protest, posts stuff, boost voices of black activists, and that’s good and all. but if in your current life/situation you invalidate racism black people face in their lives (whether it be irl, fandom, social media, ETC.), or go out of your way to ignore or make their lives difficult, then you are still antiblack and your activism is  performative. black lives matter and that includes respecting black people who call out your racism. if you’ve ever partaken in invalidating or ignoring a black person’s claim or accusations of racism, and you haven’t made amends or you’ve been called out for racism by a black person, or invalidated a black persons experience of racism (again, irl, social media, fandom, etc.) then you are still antiblack and you need to start working on dismanlting racism and anti-blackness with yourself before you try to co-opt on the tragedy of black people.

like all that activism means absolutely NOTHING if you mistreat black people in your everyday lives.

hey, i didn’t want to derail someone else’s post but its making me deeply anxious not to say anything so I’m gonna make my own

if you are in a privileged group but also a minor? especially a mentally ill minor, and TRIPLE if there is even the most remote chance saying something could result in danger for you?

those ‘use your privilege’ post telling you to stand up to your family members (which i notice becoming increasingly frequent at this time of year) are not directed at you.

(also, significantly more hostile aside - anybody who comes on this post to clown and say that they are feel free to fuck off in literally every goddamn direction)

I know with kids like Greta Thunberg making the news, and post listing other Gen Z kids making changes, it can be easy to feel like those posts are calling you, kids, out specifically.

and don’t get me wrong, I am so, so proud of those kids. and if you can stand up to your family members, I’m proud of you, too.

But, and i mean this in gentlest way possible - this is not your job.

It isn’t. Some of you are taking it on, and thats very noble of you, but it isn’t and should not be your job. anybody who says things like “these kids are gonna save the world” makes me want to tear my hair out because kids should not be saving the world, kids should be being kids. You should be worried about taking the ACT and figuring out what kind of people/if you want to kiss, not fucking fascism.

the most stressful decision you should have to make at a family gathering is what sweater to wear, not putting your literal child self in the middle of a bigoted, hostile confrontation, and anybody - especially any adult - who tells you otherwise is not only an asshole but it is fucking irresponsible, and does not have your best interest at heart.

don’t interact with me if you think it’s in any way appropriate to be talking about fictional characters when you make posts about the current events. saying shit like “all cops are bastards except abbacchio!!” and “joseph said acab!!” is so fucking tonedeaf and actually disgusting 

[spidaerman]

if you’re white and are protesting, please, please listen to this. if you’re white and have white friends protesting, let them know

this all blows in the face of Black and brown people protesting
