#anyways I do wanna clarify on my point about digital blackface and all

[starlooove]

Should I be controversial? Anyways I think animatics and animation memes that use black voices jokes and culture absolutely contribute to the exploitation of AAVE by nonwhites. Like the black person -> black artist -> nonwhite artist -> nonwhite person pipeline is so real but the only way for ppl to grasp that would be for them to grasp shit like digital blackface and minstrel as a whole but starting from THIS convo it’d be laughable bc I genuinely don’t think that’s what those nonwhite ppl are doing HOWEVER let it be known that this kind of thing has very rarely happened with terminology from predominantly nonblack ppl. Like the closest I’ve seen is ppl using inshallah or Baka incorrectly and each of those is rooted in their own distinct branches of dehumanization and racism. On the other other hand when ppl mentioned that the way some of y’all used each thing is weird and racist there’s a significantly larger ratio of ppl who listened (or at least stopped) than when we say it’s weird that y’all use the ninja emoji to mean nigga or say gyat in the dumbest way possible. When black culture is discarded there’s always this wave of ridicule after that I personally haven’t seen anywhere else but maybe the hot cheeto girl thing which was partially rooted in in blackness as well.

Anyways my point is even if the vid makes me giggle I’m never gonna like one of those ppl drawing the characters using heavy AAVE and blaccents in audios and on a bad day I’ll block too sorryyy

#stream of conciousness #so a lot of this is just jumping from here to there #but I think it makes sense idk #anyways I do wanna clarify on my point about digital blackface and all #I don’t think that what these vids are necessarily doing #but I think to understand the pattern I’m speaking of u need to understand WHAT digital blackface and minstrelsy is as a whole #like in order to understand why the gold jewelry thing bothers so many poc (specifically SA black and latine ppl) #you have to understand the way white ppl colonize things like clothes day to day #so the issue isn’t some random white girl wearing gold but the random white girls pretending their moms weren’t calling it ghetto #and that’s just like. as succinct as I could put it #whatever
