Vtubers in the brain

There were so many stupid memes made in the Macross cosplay gathering at Fanime, this one being my fault entirely for shouting “You should touch runes!”

"this is how we've always done it"

"that's the policy"

"we've never tried that before"

Not every white person dating a POC is fetishizing. White people can be respectful and responsible when it comes to culture and relationships and not everyone has bad intentions.

Asian people can date Black people without you saying shit like “your kids will be so pretty” they’re not dating for pretty kids. They’re dating bc they like each other.

Someone can dress their partner in clothing from their culture if they want. Someone can take their partner to cultural events if they want.

People in relationships can share cultures, experiences and love without it being toxic or skin deep.

Their partner isn’t culturally appropriating. Their partner is being shown the ultimate form of love, bc their partner trusts them and loves them enough to share their history and heritage.

Yeah, dating someone from your culture is nice bc you automatically have similar experiences. But you’re not limited to dating people with the same experiences. Loving someone is sharing and growing and being together.

I know a lot of people just in my family who have healthy relationships while being two different races.

My mom’s step dad is Mexican, and her mom is white. They’ve been married 25+ years.

My dad’s dad is Filipino and Hawaiian, and his mom is Mexican and Native American. We can directly trace the line back to which tribe we come from.

My cousin’s step-dad is Japanese.

We have photos of one of my paternal grandmother’s ancestors who was a white woman.

My paternal grandmother’s sister-in-law is Hawaiian.

It is debated whether my paternal family has a Chinese ancestor, but given this list, I’d say it’s likely.

Interracial marriages and relationships have been happening for generations. I’ve seen it!

On my graduation day, a great uncle of mine gifted both me and my mother authentic lei necklaces. Same for my cousin and her white mom.

We incude them in our traditions and culture because they have made a place in our hearts and lives.

So, in terrible news, Trump's trying to pull some strings to pass this massive internet censorship bill, featuring all the kinds of internet censorship we're terrified of, including mandatory ID for accessing basically any website, specifically to crush state regulation of AI, because apparently this man will always see the moral bottom of the barrel and start digging.
