Riki/ The Befuddled Dumbass

Native-Americans prefer not to be mentioned at all. There is no representation of Natives in white people books that they can be pleased with. They want white people to leave them out of their books altogether and to instead champion books written by Indigenous people themselves. Of course, those books don't achieve the kind of international fame and projection that the Twilight books did, but they're not grateful for that.

Exploit their heritage and name to make millions while the same tribe is currently suffering and the white author has given them nothing other than obsessed weirdos who fetishize them because wEreWolvEs

Use the "noble savage" stereotype which is just as dehumanizing and reductive, a trope created solely to support the white cast of a story?

Indigenous people's stories don't reach the level of fame Twilight has not because Twilight is good or accurate, its because of colonialism, white supremacy and people like you who dont take a single critique about your story seriously while dismissing all criticisms of these books by indigenous people as "hate" or being ungrateful.

Why on Earth should an indigenous person ever be grateful to a white person?

White colonisers took everything, EVERYTHING, from indigenous people. Stephanie Meyer and her editors should be doing everything they can to give the Quileute Tribe reparations for bastardizing their stories heritage.

Stephanie Meyer should be fucking grateful the Quileute Tribe are allowing this bullshit when they have every right in the world to sue her right into hell.

"Indigenous people should be grateful to white people" my ass. Fuck off.

i'm in Ireland and the search for that bastards name is still blocked and hidden... the legnths the british go to defend and protect their instruments of colonialism and violence is beyond belief. no justice for the victims and yet every measure taken to protect David James Cleary and his fellow murderers.

Returning to my roots this pride with a little jayjon doodle except it didn’t turn out how I wanted it to.

Was aiming for kinda reconnecting in their 30’s but Jay’s still pissed off and Jon’s oblivious. Hence the giving Jay facial hair but idk if it comes across as him now… anyway please see Jon with moustache under the cut

now, almost all of the bigoted remarks are happening in the present day with no framing to indicate how the audience is supposed to feel about them. they are primarily played for comedy rather than drama and the audience is encouraged to laugh at the marginalized (especially racialized and ESPECIALLY Black) characters.
