I live a very balanced life of noticing things nobody else does and not noticing the things that literally everybody notices

sometimes a theme recurs in your work without your permission. and sometimes it reaches a threshold where you're like. well now i think this is saying something about me against my will. don't know what though

(girl who's been thinking about The Character nonstop for two months voice) you'll never guess what this song reminds me of

*Holding out my hand in a peace sign* You can't spell execute without cute! *In my other hand drags a long gnarled blade scraping loudly against the stone*

white people, whether they're european/australian/whatever or even latin american, have almost completely ruined discussions about american imperialism here. and that's because they're obviously the least affected by it. when white people complain about usacentrism it's because, like every white person everywhere, they hate when things aren't about them; it's not because their community's struggles are being excluded, it's because they as an individual grew up feeling like the protagonist of the story and now that they're online, they realize that's not true and get butthurt and start using self-victimizing, oppression olympics language to get around it without sounding stupid (and failing). when they target black americans, it's not because they think black americans "benefit from imperialism" or whatever the fuck, it's because they hate black people in general and hate when they are the centerpiece of discussions. black people from outside america are regularly silenced when we rightfully point out black americans aren't and never will be our enemies and in fact share many of our struggles. and often the same goes for brown latin americans and asians ofc. it's not really about imperialism at all in this case, it's about using progressive language to escape accountability.

the concept of never including women in anything or never liking women in order to avoid misogyny is really funny and by funny i mean a different word

Fandomites will be like "the omegaverse is often used for complex explorations of gender and parenthood" and the complex explorations in question is often extreme fantasy misogyny through the compelling lens of "what if men were harmed by the patriarchy the exact same way women are and also every misogynistic ideal is somewhat true in this universe"

listening to a video on white authors masquerading as poc and I’m really obsessed with this one who not only did this multiple times but for some reason could not resist giving themselves the most White Enby names ever every single time

for real i don't think being racist towards black americans and native americans in our behalf is helping us at all in latin america. the energy and time you waste in calling a random black person "amerikkkan" or arguing that native americans are actually privileged for living in reservations and in food deserts could go towards helping madres buscadoras or donating to damnificados de venezuela or literally anything else you can imagine. please stop being racist online and instead help us in an actually tangible way. thankies

The popular idea that women are *allowed* to express more emotion than men because they're stereotyped as overly emotional is so fucking stupid when you actually think about it for 2 seconds. It's like saying poc are allowed to be angry. Dude

Toxic masculinity's emotional repression has a slightly different flavor to it but can we be so fucking honest. Every man I've known will throw a hissy fit at a moment's notice they just don't like having emotionally vulnerable friendships with each other because they're scared of looking gay. Which is their own fault for being homophobic. Damn I wish men weren't allowed to talk about their feelings stfu

something i think a lot of white people don't understand is that saying racist antiblack things 'ironically' 'as a joke' 'satirically' or 'as bait' is still... just being racist. as if saying 'bait used to be believable' somehow undoes the disrespect? as if pointing out that its probably a bot or a psyop nullifies the slurs? as if informing me that its a meme/copypasta/reference means you're not at fault for repeating them? as if any of this is okay? it doesn't work like that. why is the hatred and disrespect of black people acceptable background noise for you? why do you find it funny?
