I rarely bring this up because it feels like fairly silly and low-stakes compared to all the other effects of american imperialism, but one of the funniest things when Americans deny that living in the imperial core and the center of global cultural hegemony confers them any sort of privilege over people from the imperial periphery is that like. In order for this conversation where you tell me you have no privilege over me to even be able to take place one of us had to learn the other's language, and it wasn't you.

Someone commented this post with "So if I learned, say, Hawaiian and talked to a hawaiian person, then the hawaiian would be privileged? Come on, think about what you're writing, man" and then blocked me as soon as I tried to reply, so.

I thought it's common sense that we shouldn't judge how other systems treat their littles?? Why littlecourse rose back from the grave it was buried...

Man I just have to send love out to some of the Southeast Asian systems and blogs I've been seeing around and have in my social sphere. Yall are amazing and theres so much fucking shit most people - including non-Asian / SEAsian POC - don't / struggle understand and I just wanted to say I love yall.

Being SEAsian and a system is like playing in a hard mode (/lh), but I'm really glad there are people that feel the same thing as I am. Before, the only SEAsian system friend that I have is the writer of the book that I recommended before (we're buddies on both Twitter and Discord) while talking about each other's day and sometimes we complained about the government (like many SEAsians do/lh).

What if we did...

There's so much more.

I'm gonna be real with you and say that it's not really progressive when you see black characters/POC coded characters and instantly talk about how cool they are because they piss of bigots.

I think leftist online have such a big problem with seeing a marginalized person express themselves in any way and instantly start thinking about bigots and how of a "epic ownage" they would be and it comes off as soooooo disingenuous and out of touch.

I think it's honestly really nice to be able to safely explore things finally. I think its also fun and insightful conversation with @millefoli about system experiences (particularly relating to SEAsian things) that did kind of remind me that pre-syscovery and DID recovery, that a large thing that divided my system and the main system is that my system used to be stuck irl and the main system used to be stuck online where we had a lot more freedom to explore, express, bond and socialize.

Shoutout to @syscourse-misinfo for sharing an Indonesian story that explores DID through an Indonesian protagonist. The portrayal is very reminiscent to what I myself experienced and was what got the discussion going.
