welcome back to gamechanger, the only gameshow where the game changes every show! players, you will notice that we are standing in a prison, and that some of you have been designated as “guards” while the rest of you are “prisoners.” over the next few months y
and then i find myself clinging to the fucking sprinkles of poc creators in things i watch like a lifeline. i hate to validate what some fucking bigots think is true of everyone, but i feel the need to perform more love for them. the brown girl in the cast who i think is pretty funny but isn't my fave i feel i have to sing her praises especially bc everyone else is so ambivalent on her. the storyteller whose style i don't like i am trying to force myself to watch anyway because i don't really see anyone else like her out there. the creators i kinda follow but not really who are cool but i feel the need to emphasize how much i enjoy the stuff of theirs i do see. and not to mention the ones that are lauded partially because they are good and partially because they are almost singular, becoming a symbol for people to show they are inclusive; and wondering if/when they fuck up, how those people will react and how the pedestal they built for this person will come falling down and they will be vilified.
lowkey so tired of seeing white people everywhere. not like in real life but like on my instagram feed in my spotify recs from my youtube algorithm up down on my phone in my screen. i know i have to make the effort to find people of color artists creators etc. but i am tired by real life. i Will make the effort when i have the energy but rn i just feel exhausted rage bc the reality i've been aware of others discussing for years has only just started to sink in these past several months
and i'm mad at myself for perpetuating it. for not trying harder. every new thing i get into is more white people and it's not inherently bad but it's infuriating. why am i trying so hard to read between the lines of fiction made by white creators when there are people out there telling the exact stories i am trying to make out of threads of imagined subtext. why do i find this easier to do

I cannot put into words how much I Fucking Loathe the fact that when you search something on youtube now it will randomly intersperse blocks of "people also watched" and "for you" into the results. That's not what I searched for, youtube. I typed in a search query because I wanted to see search results, not random unrelated garbage you have placed in my way apparently to either inconvenience me or force me to scroll further for actual results. I despise your wretched little games and every time I see it I can only instantly close the tab as I am overcome with the urge to burn something down.
