For NonBlack Followers, Please Read!
Hello nonblack peers! I've created this post to outline what you should and shouldn't do while interacting with this blog, as it is geared towards a Black userbase. Of course, i do not mind nonblack users following me or interacting with my posts, thats honestly unavoidable, but i wanted to lay out what exactly id prefer you do as a nonblack user interacting with a Black focused space, as we are not really the majority here.
If you dislike that this is a space focused on Blackness you do not have to be here. Please know i am not afraid to step in or call things out should i see them. This post will be pinned in polls and my pinned post from now on.
Vote, comment, on Black characters characters vs polls.
Send in Black ocs\characters for design polls and characters vs polls.
Interact with design and representation polls
If you are a nonblack artist who draws Black characters well, and you have drawing advice for another nonblack user, i do not mind you giving tips or resources, but PLEASE dont overstep and act like you know more\better than Black artists.
Give your opinion as a nonblack person about Black representation: look i think its great if you can recognize good or bad representation in a piece of media, but please dont reblog or comment with how you personally feel the given Black representation is within the media we dicuss, its just not your place to say. Unfortunately, this is tumblr, I'll have to deal with it regardless but I'd like to minimize my comment sections becoming full of the voices of predominantly nonblack users. I don't mind you asking questions and generally interacting with them, but please be respectful and mindful of what you say.
Do not comment on posts about how x character "isn't Black" for lack of being human, completely unnecessary.
I will not be adding poll options for "see results" or "nonblack", please don't ask this. You will have to be patient and wait for the poll to end.
Do NOT tag posts containing the n word said by Black users from my blog with #cw slur or something, like please.
My blog, comment sections, asks, dms, or reblog tags are NOT CONFESSIONALS. Please don't dump about your racist past, family members or friends, how you used to say racial slurs, self deprecate\tear yourself down, put me and other black users on pedestals or pat yourself on the back for being "antiracist", i don't want to see that, WE dont want to see that, its not necessary or appropriate.
Please dont tag or comment about how white you are, just reblog the post or say something normal, its not funny.
There's a lot else i could say, but generally be mindful and respectful and understanding of who this blog caters towards. This list my be subject to change in the future, but please be mindful of these guidelines.
