white woman: men are awful
white man: not all men!
white woman: yes but enough men so that i feel endangered, your comment is unnecessary and derails the dialogue of women’s issues that i am attempting to engage in
person of color: white people are awful
white woman: not all white people!
I don’t think I’ll ever get over the time Lexa, a white lesbian character in brownface (with a bindi) got killed off and there was a huge uproar on social media and people rioted on the streets in anger, but when Poussey Washington, a black lesbian, got killed off in a horrifically gruesome way, well white fandom didn’t give a single shit and tried to lecture us qwoc on how her death actually was warranted because it was worth sacrificing what little positive representation we have to educate our oppressors.
transmed voice: I have never once considered psychology as a discipline to be anything but completely Objective. If something is listed as a mental illness, then it is! I’ve never heard of the word “pathologisation” in my life and I don’t have enough historical knowledge to understand how science and academia can be tools against marginalised people. I’ve never heard about how women masturbating and black people wanting to escape slavery have also been classified as mental illnesses, or i’m naive enough to think that the systems that once enabled this have changed or dissapeared.
i also just hate trans people who scrape enough self-esteem together to not hate their body, and will fight against trans positivity at every turn 🙂 This is what I Objectively think as a Fellow Trans, and i’m going to avoid thinking about how every thing i say benefits TERFs and other people who will send me to conversion camp the second they get the chance 🙂
i’m also a conservative or libertarian leaning trans guy under the age of 21
sorry if me Stating the Facts offends you sweaty :’)
Yeah and black cats are bad luck and witches were hung. Times have changed with scientific evidence.
thanks but i’ve already got “i’m naive enough to think that the systems that enabled this have changed or dissapeared”

Do white ppl realize that when they defend their use of crytyping “jokes” on the basis that they were originally used by PoC/black ppl to call out racism, they’re only making it clear they’re racist as as hell in addition to ableist?
Like piss off taking things from PoC dealing with racism to mock people whenever you feel like it for any crappy reason, including PoC, including nd PoC who are telling you to stop your ableist bullshit.
And like this mess had dip whom many many of the anti-ace/aro crowd supported harassing people into breakdowns, who would then accuse these people of being manipulative and/or make fun of them for it, and her many (often white) supporters would join in or loudly condone it, I pretty clearly remember that. So when you say “it’s just mocking people who’re being manipulative and faking and who deserve being mocked”, excuse me for not believing you all are the best judges of that. That you don’t care about the many nd ppl and good number of nd PoC who are telling you they’re being hurt by this, when ppl are using it for crapcourse overall and stuff that’s definitely not calling out racism, is already telling.
Anyway if you’re white you have 500% no place touching those “jokes” piss off racist ableist scum
you know why? because you’re not part of those cultures thus you can’t do or be any of those without appropriating it. also calling yourself a slur is fucking gross man. don’t do it. g*psy doesn’t mean free spirited it’s a literal slur for the romani people.
however, you can:
take aspects from open cultures and your culture
be a certain type of witch
do smoke cleansing
study herbology
have a patrnous/familiar
do tarot
make moon water
do basically anything that isn’t from a closed culture
do things from open cultures and your culture, don’t take from other closed cultures because, again, it’s cultural appropriation
and when i mean Caucasian i mean
I’m a mut, spanning from every which culture, spirits are not bound by color when being reincarnated. If you feel you are this or that, and you take it seriously and are respectful, then all the power to you. Do NOT let anyone tell you what you can or can’t be, do not let ANYONE limit you. The Spirit is not bound by mundane “race”.
this is it,the worst thing i’ve ever read
like yes… race is a social construct… but that doesn’t suddenly negate the harm and consequences to your racist actions. maybe think about how race is socially constructed in different ways than just “how can i use this to benefit myself?” because, maybe race is something that actually affects other people
Well yeah, if you don’t take it seriously and are not respectful. But, I did say that if they feel that they are and they “take it seriously and ARE respectful” then they should be allowed to practice regardless of the color of their skin. But, even still if they were not to take it seriously or respectfully then that’s on them to take responsibility of the consequences. But, then again you said “your racist actions”, but really I’m a mut with several different backgrounds that span a plethora of races so I do take it seriously, respectfully and with humility when it comes to my ancestors I am no racist. I don’t just use things to benefit for myself and most of the time have been towards the benefit for the entirety of the human race. Instead of shunning those who are irresponsible, how about take them under a wing and help guide them, turning them away might possible make them even more disrespectful and who really wins at that point? No one.
okay 1. taking things from a closed culture is always harmful unless you are specifically invited to do so. that’s what OP is saying. feeling entitled to a culture is different from being welcomed into it
2. you said you’re from ‘every which culture’. All of them? every single culture? and it sounded like you said you were a PoC in a past life, like that counts. This has every red flag that you’re a white person lying on the internet for credibility. I’ve never in my life heard a mixed race person repeatedly call themselves a ‘mut’ instead of explaining what cultures they belong to, or just saying ‘i’m mixed race’. it sounds like you didn’t do a lick of research before trying to fake this, it’s really gross, 0/10 for effort
