I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF

This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.

Reblogging because it’s a damn potato and I want to encourage people to assume potatoes are magical.

w-what if potato is actually lucky

i know i am a bitch with a short fuse and all, but the thing is people in fandom do need to get more comfortable with calling out others for saying actually offensive shit or at the very least asking them if that is what they were saying. doesn't need to be (and shouldn't be) a public callout thing or turned into a big deal, you can ask in private, you can be diplomatic about it. you don't need to be rude or accusatory you can just ask to repeat and rephrase and for them to consider the implications of what they are saying and maybe address their biases. maybe they don't even know they got those biases, idk. but if it's not addressed at all in favor of resolutions like redirection and dropping the subject, it both emboldens this kind of behavior in the future and actually makes the space - and you - feel unsafe to others. safe =/= conflict-free; au contraire, safe spaces actually have to be built and maintained on some amount of confrontation, i am sorry to say. you can't "yes and" everything ever.

racism literally bleeds through the cracks of everything and if you dare to even barely point it out everyone will kill you

racism runs so deeply in people that if you call it out you are calling out them, and instead of sitting down and examining their own racism they lash out at you for being sooo meansies to them. you don't even have to be talking about anyone's racist behavior in particular because it makes racists so uncomfortable they will come forward themselves and act like you're targeting them specifically. it's okay when they do it because they're doing it in the correct way, in the nice way! they don't mean it like that. in fact they're actually being progressive. you're the cruel one for acting like their racist behavior is racist. you're the problem if you're bothered by their comfort racism. you're the bitchy colored person who makes eeeverything about racism when it so clearly isn't. i'm fucking sick of this.
