Haters and Contrarians

and in Spanish speaking circles online they sharing gore pictures of dead African babies in online chats so much it has a label named “BND”? Another Black teen was murdered recently by an Asian American store owner convinced he was stealing despite putting items back. He shot him in the back.

yall dont deserve nothing from Black people in any part of the diaspora, irdc. this shit makes me so angry but the demands for an expectation of actionable organizing and dismantling of the white supremacist project that is the US is laid at our collective feet and no one else’s is so crazy to me. how are Black ppl supposed to generate trust for nonblack ppl that hasn’t been demonstrated in a sustained, recent, manner, without us having to force the rest of the world to see us?

Idpol is divisive until it’s time to self adopt the moniker of the Global South and that often doesn’t include & backseats Black African exploitation/extraction. it’s hella transparent how nonblack leftists only mention Sudan, Congo, Somalia, etc. as afterthoughts to their awareness and solidarity posts focusing on Palestine but feel entitled to call Black leftists “zog slaves” for not making dedicated media to the issue they feel the most important, regardless if to these Black leftists making Black issues their focus and niche.

the video is even worse. these Chinese and Asian social media users are actually going to remote African villages to film themselves abusing, terrorizing, and humiliating Black children.

One clip shows a Chinese man holding a young Black girl on his lap and having her repeat sentences in Chinese. she doesn’t know what she’s saying but the captions show him having her say, “ I have no value. I’m just a retard.”

im sick to my stomach.

now, i find this maaaaasively hypocritical as much of the criticism is being flung by AMERICANS (the list of terrible things the american government and military has done and is currently doing?), but bet they won't stop watching and reading and promoting stories that feature americans in a neutral to positive light- they can't even boycott neil gaiman properties. and it was especially crazy seeing someone condemn kuang on here from their HEATED RIVALRY fan blog...the show that has a RUSSIAN main character featured in a positive light? and there's no shortage of people in the hr fandom asking for tips about russian terms of endearment, traditions, holidays, jokes, all to enrich their smut fics. the show that included t.A.T.u in the soundtrack when it's well-known at this point how pro-putin and russian inperialism that band is? it isn't an indictment when it's a russian character no matter what russia is currently doing in ukraine (and everywhere else russia is threatening with its military power). and i could go on with other imperialist nations and what they've done/are currently doing, but these are the two biggest countries that immediately come to mind at 12am

and none of this is to defend israel's actions because i will never defend a right wing government or war crimes. but a short passage featuring an unnamed character (without a follow-up sentence explaining that the we of course condemn "isnotreal") is suddenly a controversy? whatever happened to the understood "people aren't always their government"? israelis are still humans who are allowed to show up in fiction. they're allowed to exist in real life (i will never forget seeing a post where someone apologized for saying "rest in peace" to michelle trachtenberg because "i didn't know she had family in israel"). i have no connection to israel myself, but this will never stop shocking me. authors and entertainers didn't cut off all mention of germany and the german people in the aftermath of the holocaust. anime and manga is popular all around the world no matter what japan did to its neighbors. arab colonialism gets nary a mention. but israelis showing up in works of fiction, and unnamed at that, is enough to be considered controversial?

and no doubt liberal to left wing americans (i am also a liberal to left wing american so i can say this) would be upset if it was considered controversial to portray americans positively in fiction because what if they didn't vote for trump or something? but my fellow liberal/left wing americans seemingly are unable to put themselves in anyone else's shoes. it's like when a certain crowd says that israelis should go back to europe, like i don't see you, an american, packing up to go home to scotland or italy or wherever the fuck. it's all "we need to boycott movies that cast israelis", but no one was boycotting the newer star wars movies when they cast former marine (and contender for ugliest man alive) adam driver? and leftists are currently supporting former blackwater mercenary (who likely committed war crimes) as a candidate for the senate.

god. idek anymore. this got long but i cannot wrap my mind around how an unnamed few paragraphs long mention of a throwaway israeli character is a controversy! proof you can read books without a functioning brain

yeah, isn't it amazing how only one group of people can be generalized to be evil, without exception, and it just so happens to be a bunch of jews? almost as if this is a kind of crutch bigotry for humankind that recurs millennia after millennia. there truly isn't much more to say about it. it is perhaps the most unsurprising thing in the world.

d4vd had celeste (the child he raped, murdered, and dismembered) on his streams, and it was a running joke among his fans that he preyed on children. she would “joke” about him being a pedophile, and they laughed along. they fucking KNEW and enabled him. yes, the majority of his fanbase were teenagers, but the fact that virtually no one thought to speak out is absolutely insane. people don’t care about male violence, and they’re conditioned to be indifferent to it from a young age, especially when that violence is against black and brown women and girls. young girls being groomed is seen as a fact of life and even something that is comedic. (but i hear MRAs constantly saying people only care about female victims? sure…)

on top of that, our culture is so unempathetic to women and girls that people jumped to make jokes about the fact that a child’s decomposing corpse was found in d4vd’s car. there were posts with tens of thousands of likes saying celeste (a literal child, who d4vd was allegedly abusing since she was TEN YEARS OLD) isn’t “fully innocent”. she was getting blamed by young men for being on discord at 11 years old and using social media, if you want to know the state of zoomer/gen alpha males. (as someone who was also on those apps at such a young age and encountered some nasty men, i am disgusted to read those things. that could have easily been me or any other little girl.) she was a MIDDLE SCHOOLER. she couldn’t even get a driver’s permit at her age.

d4vd’s image revolved around death and murder alongside his frankly very mediocre music. he even had an animated music video where he goes on a murderous rampage and dismembers a female character… i’m sorry, but any man obsessed with such violent, gruesome imagery (especially with women being victimized) needs to be looked at with suspicion, i don’t care if it’s “art”. men lost the privilege of being “artists” when nine times out of ten a man obsessed with such dark imagery ends up doing horrible things to women/girls.

and the fact when that poor baby, celeste rivas hernandez’ body, was found in his car, rotting, people were scrambling to say “it couldn’t be him”. even my boyfriend at the time (who was quite frankly a moron, i’ve blocked his ass on everything nowadays lol) was like “uhhh there’s no proof he did it” (like, go fuck yourself). a grown ass man can have a 12-13 year old girl on his livestreams, with that little girl being found dead in the back of his car, and people will still jump to defend him and say “there’s no proof!”. that’s male privilege right there.

She met him when she was 11 and he was already a legal adult. Her parents were aware of the "relationship," met that man, and did not care about the whereabouts of their daughter, who would disappear for weeks on end and was not attending school.

this Black lesbian woman was sexually assaulted by the staff at Vixen Plastic Surgery in miami recently while under anesthesia for a lipo 360 procedure & it was to the point that her UVULA in her throat partially detached and had to be surgically removed & the rape kit found semen in her cervix. im horrified. and now Miami police acting like they can’t continue the investigation??? im so disgusted and angry for her rn.

she asked for her video to be shared for support and awareness, reposting here:

I've set up a Kofi so I can earn some money from my writing- I'll be posting book recs, book reviews, media analysis stuff, an entire thesis I wrote about fanfiction & fan culture, deep-dives on different films & characters, and more!

All of this is so that I can start saving up enough to move out & to support myself on my writing. One of the pieces of furniture I absolutely dream of having is a bookcase like that one in the animated Beauty & the Beast - so if yous can help me afford it, you'd be making one of my dreams come true.

I'm currently starting testosterone therapy, and the check-ins cost around £415 every three months, + the costs of prescriptions.

I am currently unemployed, living on my parents' couch, and am trying to make a living from my art, and am trying to find an agent to work with in order to get my first book published.

At the time of making this post, I only have £1,032 in my bank account.

If you'd like to help out, or if you've enjoyed my fics in the past and would be interested in supporting me as I make my way through the process of getting my original stories traditionally published and on shelves in book stores, or would like to purchase some of my art, it would mean the absolute world to me.

Thank you.

I don’t want to make it seem like people NEED to donate to me. It would just ease my medical bill. I have a 3.2k bill. I can cover it (for now), but it was supposed to go through workmans comp and just never did i guess! Even though I provided the documents.

I would prefer it be a commission. As I feel donations are unfair. The only thing is I work fulltime and use my days off to do commissions. I worry my art isn’t quite at the same quality as prior. Since. Yknow I kinda got a head injury.

the issue of black femicide has been ongoing in the US for decades and the numbers of black women killed by their (primarily) black male partners is the highest it has ever been (as of 2024, at least). i posted about cases often a year or two back, and then it became too depressing, like screaming into the void. the worst part of it was seeing their faces in the news, always smiling, and knowing their last moments were spent in terror being murdered by men they loved. sadly a common end for women worldwide.

it's difficult for the black american community to discuss, because it's seen as embarrassing or promoting infighting to frame it as a male violence problem. but male violence and machismo is at the root of most of the problems in the community. what's actually fucking embarrassing is seeing white supremacists like curtis yarvin correctly identify the black church and its matriarchs as the primary positive motivating force for black education and self-empowerment over the centuries and the decreasing importance of the church as a central reason why the community is still struggling against violence.

the ascendant cultural power of males, generally, during this cultural backlash is actively destroying every segment of society. white men and their endless grievance politics, black and latino men and their self-loathing, community-focused violence, asian men and their worship of "traditional" patriarchy that totally disempowers asian women. it's most harrowing for black and latina women because our men are generally poor and feel powerless outside of the home. and my irish ancestors could easily tell you this is not an issue of race, it is an issue of poverty and how lack of access to wider power structures makes men more violent toward their own people and toward communities they see as beneath them. it is why so many black and latino americans not only have disproportionate rates of femicide and rape (of women of their own race) and child abuse, but also why xenophobia runs rampant. poor people are angry. men are taught that their anger is power. poor men have little agency to leverage their anger into legislation or policy, so they turn it on their women and children. rich men can hurt entire classes of people and buy women and children to rape and murder without consequence, far away from their pristine-seeming family lives, while poor men are confined to their menial jobs or gangs that (generally) hurt their own people.

no one really cares about women in general being hurt, and especially not about black or brown or poor women. the only stories i see about femicide are those that involve large-scale murders or famous people. but even the scale isn't enough, usually. for example, the shit coming out of sudan gives me nightmares, the hell black sudanese are going through every day. i can't even read about it anymore. i donate to charities, i pray for them, but i don't know if anything reaches them. men there are unleashing a kind of primordial evil during this genocide, and the few sudanese men who are willing to help are kidnapped and murdered brutally while it's live-streamed. the women and girl children are held in limbo, being raped and tortured daily. that story barely makes the news outside of one or two papers that are committed to following the story like the guardian. i don't even blame ordinary people for looking away. it's the most horrific thing happening on our planet right now, and it's impossible to comprehend the scale of the genocide and unending rape and violence. the kind of violence men in the west fantasize about inflicting on their enemies and pretend to care about protecting their white women from, even as they have developed this sick fucking fixation and neurosis around black male/white female fetish pornography that infects everything they culturally produce. the only difference between the US and sudan is our functioning government. our men are just as evil as the arab genocidal forces there, and their violence and open hatred is the proof.
