The Bones System

five: timeline's fucked

the hargreeves: what?

cus like i really hope these other replies in the notes are mostly black systems otherwise why so many people with no experience being black telling others people with no experience being black what it means, or doesn’t mean, to be black? am i missing something? what trauma are y’all talking about? as long as the alter isn’t a complete stereotypical caricature of black people and culture then what exactly is the problem?

alters can be black the same way black people can be black 💀 alters can be black and not experience the “black trauma” and still be black? what’s not okay is projecting stereotypes but that would go for any race.

Dillion is German but understands that he is in this black body and can never experience what it’s like to grow up in Germany. Marbelle is pale as snow but understands (and probably appreciates) having melanin (for anti-sunburn purposes). so at this same notion, an alter can be black lmao. idk why the notes are blowing a fuse but i think this new age of everything being offensive is getting ridiculous.

the only thing that would be offensive is if that alter was exhibiting and parading around stereotypes of said race/culture. but to simply exist as one isn’t wrong??

saying an alter isn’t a certain race doesn’t make sense. you can say that they don’t fully understand what it actually means to BE that race, bc they are in a different body, but they have no control over how they form!
