Hey was anybody going to tell me that Grace's aroace colors socks are not a popular fanon invention (a la Adrian is green) and are in fact something he actually WEARS IN THE MOVIE?? Were we just gonna wait for me to notice this while making an edit???? Was that the plan??

and for that matter why have i seen posts on here trying to rehabilitate the reputation of fucking 4chan. like i say this as a person of color tumblr is racist yes but it is not "incited multiple white supremacist mass shootings" levels of racist. it is not "started gamergate" levels of misogynist. what are we doing here. if you found community and support in 4chan good for you but everyone else has the right to feel uncomfortable that you found community among nazis and racists

I love when people learn from their mistakes and do better #learningfrombefore but you don't have to tell us about how you didn't know something was anti-Asian and how you felt really guilty when you did. I assume you would feel a bit bad if you said slurs you didn't know were slurs? People are generally less aware of racism towards Asian people so it's not like it's a surprise, it sucks but it's not always something you have to confess to us because what would a response to that type of ask even be... what would you want us to say...

the end goal of acceptance should be active and consistent cultural belongin’. simply sayin’ you don’t understand but you respect it ain’t gon cut it, at least not if you want a society filled with people that actually engage, connect and talk to each other. i don’t care for people to know exactly what bein’ me is like, but bein’ left incomprehensible as a compromise for respect is exactly what keep these systems of supremacy and discrimination intact. me as an aroace lesbian explainin’ how that’s even possible, what tertiary attractions are, and what queerplatonic relationships is to, granted, open minded people over and over and over again is not a good thing. it make havin’ conversations harder and make havin’ deep connections with others even harder. i don’t care to push blame, but remember why education for comprehension is important. push for education on certain identities and for it to be widespread! more zines, more websites, more books, slideshows, more of it! ease of communication can make a person’ personal life 100x better.

too many people on here act like that racism in indie spaces is not a very big problem and it's pissing me offff no one is above criticism and most of these people have never apologized for being racist edgelords!!!

An older relative of mine was complaining about how her hair looks now that it’s greying and I had to hold back myself from telling her that the long grey hair look would make her very popular with some lesbians that I know because she’s not the sort of person who would take that as a compliment

This particular person is always like ugh I look old and I’m like yeah you do look old and it looks really good on you and she just doesn’t believe me but it’s true

I’ve noticed that some people start positively glowing as they start aging and then take to it like a baby otter screaming in the water
