Cartoons are awesome sauce

For context: Ashley Nichols and Michael Kovach are being cancelled on twitter for laughing at a “nega” joke (a black shirt with the word “nega” on it) on a Jackbox stream like 7 years ago. (Also “nega” was basically a replacement for the n word in the 2010s)

And Ashley actually said the n word on the same stream. (Okay so, she was trying to pronounce a chatter’s username. She didn’t say it in like a racist manner but it sounded like she literally said “nigga” so…I’m still indifferent)

They both apologized and It’s good that they did, but as a black person I don’t accept their apologies. I don’t tolerate racism even if it is a joke.

“It was years ago get over it” -I do believe that people can change within a long period of time and I want to believe that they have, but at the end of the day, we don’t know them personally.

They could be raging racists or they could just be kind hearted people. We do not know them.

There’s a lot of people calling black people the n word on twitter for being upset about this situation and it’s just insane.

I might step away from of the TADC fandom for a while. I’ll still watch the last episode and give my input but I really don’t know. See y’all later 💜

I am 0 for 2 in fandoms lately (TADC and Katseye) 😭

PS: Non black people accepting their apologies “on our behalf” is fucking weird. Their apologies don’t apply to you because the N WORD is often used to dehumanize black people when it’s used by non black people.

My daughters spend their days standing in long lines for water and bread instead of living their childhood 🥺 My husband was also injured while trying to bring food for us during the famine.

I created this fundraiser with a broken heart, only hoping to protect my daughters and give them a chance to live with dignity, safety, and hope again 🙏

Any donation, no matter how small, can help us survive. And if you cannot donate, sharing our story may help us reach someone who can, but please try to support us with a donation because my campaign is still new and my little girls desperately need your help 🌿

Me returning from school and immediately getting jump-scared by the situation on twitter.

White people making “teehee I’m ALMOST being racist but I’m NOT” jokes will always be deeply unfunny because it relies on acknowledging the history of harm while people have done to black communities throughout centuries and your own power to commit that harm, and somehow finding that funny. It’s like fake out punching. The joke is “I could be hitting you! But I’m not! But the fact that you’re scared is hilarious!”

That being said, to the best of my knowledge this is not a pattern, and making twitter threads about your outrage over a single clip that is seven years old feels deeply performative especially if you are white yourself. Activism is not a competition of outrage. It is action.

Lastly, I am the whitest white person you have ever met. That you are coming to ME to absolve you of any guilt for continuing to like a TV show or an actor is ridiculous. My follower count does not give me that right, nor is it my responsibility. You have to deal with the knowledge that someone you admired is capable of shitty actions. There is nothing for me to do about that
