#it's a microgression

[bad-fire-emblem-posts]

In Fire Emblem Heroes, Sharena asks if Shamir is an impostor. This is a reference to Shamir facing a microgression from Byleth in Three Houses.

sometimes i think i can read a fic where one of the characters is an asl/english interpreter and then like. i can't because in the first chapter there's 4 code of professional conduct rules broken, microaggressions towards d/Deaf/HOH people, dangerous misinformation about what an interpreter can/can't do, and 200 HIPAA/confidentiality breaches

#source of my anger: i have been learning asl since 13 & my uncle was deaf & i went to school for 4 years and have my degree in interpreting #& i am currently working full time professionally in my field #sometimes i read shit that just sets my profession back to the 60s and 70s #or blatantly violates our rules and regs and the ada #also like d/Deaf/HOH people already get so much shit snd trouble from non-deaf people everywhere else that it upsets me to see #misinformation and also lowkey microgressions in fanfic #i know im bent out of shape but this job is not fun and easy #its gritty and stressful and sometimes downright sad #its one of the most stressful jobs in the US with one of the highest rates of vicarious trauma and burnout and personal injury #i just hate reading stuff like omg im an interpreter and i fell in love with my deaf client! because that's not the headspace you're in #when you're working and you have 50 other things more important on your mind #its not like it can never happen but most interpreters meet their so's at deaf night out or in personal time if theyre d/Deaf/HOH #and then can't slash shouldn't interpret for them or their family #there's so many times that i read a fic and gave to close out because the behavior of the interpreter is so egregious they would be #blacklisted by any good interpreting agency and possibly the d/Deaf/HOH community #i will get off my soapbox now #anyways my assignment today sucked and i cried in my car for am hour before i could drive home so ✨terping irl✨ for y'all lmfao #distant bird call

A REMINDER ABOUT KIMI’S MASK

and other problematic details:

you know I was gonna let this be since I said my peace about it but then two things happened:

1. I was flooded with pics of Mick in the paddock (YAY) but was also forced to see Kimi and his insulting, gross mask as most of the pics were them together. So I decided to look for an old post where I explained why it was gross to reblog it BUT THEN-

2. I realized that the page that had begged me to educate them about why Kimi’s cursed IG story and mask were incredibly hurtful and insulting had DELETED said educational post cause of the private messages that followed that post.

But your girl always holds on to her receipts so for those of you who need reminding:

#f1 #f1 blm #fuck Kimi #kimi is not a legend #he’s a goddamn ignorant bastard #and y’all have to stop giving him a free pass #this is adulting #you find out these assholes are not cool irl #and I’m not sorry it’s not like this is a preference like dogs or cats #this is some twisted af nazi friendship bullshit #with a mix of microgressions #and complete silence on behalf of a human rights movement #i will never shut up about this #I said fuck them standers #kimi r?ikk?nen #kimi raikkonen

marks microgressions hit too close to home as a brown kid who grew up in a mostly white neighborhood. the amnt of times white kids would see me as exotic, refer to me as amiga or mispronounced my name. they didnt hate me to say, just holded me up in an idol position. so all the microgressions i saw of mark, i saw the kids who gave me a serious complex and prob traumatized me . so will yall stop using irl events to justify ur ignorance and refusal to learn, stan another character and stop hiding behind the fact yall are minors, so am i lmaoo

#ducktales #mark beaks #i was 6 when i expirenced my 1st microgression you can take some critisicism at ur teens

Question, has Dick ever said anything racist/sexist, whether it was on the feeds or in real life? He’s obviously a shit person but I’m wondering if he’s ever done any of that stuff to add to the shittiness

#bb22 #i’m just wondering where her microgressions stem from #and if it is family dick didn’t raise her #her grandma/his mom did

Learning to Talk Back to Academics

Those who’ve followed me for a bit might notice how my language in changing. Not making things up or trying to trick anyone here.

I’m just really realizing how much energy and effort went into hiding all traces of my disabilities, my poor people’s accents, and in general, where I came from. 

When I get excited I’m letting myself talk like the people from my village rather than hidin’ behind fancy words to not make rich educated folks uncomfortable like I had to in order to survive for so long.

If I say something that offends ya let me know and I’ll reflect on it.

I won’t ever use these words about others unless we’ve mutual trust and understanding, but at the same time there’s a lot of power I can reclaim by allowing myself to call myself the poor as shit gimpy hick son of a poor as shit gimpy soldier. 

I’m starting to realize how much subtle and crushing violence is contained is rich educated white folks telling poor uneducated folks to “check their privilege” and not to use words like “gimped, cripple, disabled as fuck” to describe themselves.

We’re not fukin’ “differently abled.” A lot of us are too poor and uneducated to even be “disabled,” we speak our own truths when we call ourselves gimps, crips, and crazies.

If that angers you you might be a liberal.

I can’t smother myself for your comfort any more.

You will not rob my people and those I love of our voices any longer. You won’t make me rob from them for your comfort either.

I’m fukin’ done being yer unknowing emotional grease monkey ye greasey as shit elitist fucks

Die mad about it.

Sure feels good to be home, safe from other people's opinions about disability.

I just don’t really see Mercedes as anything but straight, so I can’t ship Jonesberry (also a bit hypocritical if you ask me - Rachel was racist to Mercedes quite a few times, so you’re saying not to resort to the Rach ships with anti semitism but it doesn’t matter if people resort to the ones with racism like in Jonesberry?)

Same with Tina. Both girls imo just didn’t have much romantic chemistry with the other girls.

I've never once excused Rachel's racism, but you're not comparing microgressions with actively tormenting someone, and also the power dynamic difference.

just a penny for your thoughts, and don't feel actively attacked by this, but just think why you don't see the asian woman and black woman as having chemistry with other girls..

#queerness being associated with whiteness is an issue that's very prominent #you didn't compare jonesberry being two people who supported and respeced and admired and loved each other through various season to #faberry #cmon #they're not the same at all #glee #asks #anti faberry #anon #lol faberry

Veth's endless tearing everyone else down just to make Caleb look good was never funny and in fact annoying as hell from day 1. He was gonna be the fan-favorite by virtue of being a sadboy, he didn't an in-universe cheerleader too

Veth over stayed her welcome for about a year like damn should have brought in a new character that wasn't so obsessed with fucking Caleb that they were even begging to do it vicariously through Astrid.

Like her characterization is just a mess...and just like wanting Caleb to get over his trauma by ficking Astrid someone who has the exact same trauma is like...why are you so obsessed with sex being this miracle cure all while at the same time treating women as tools to heal man pain??

Like straight up its not even a meme anymore veth is homophobic...and if you think homophobia ends at being tolerant of some of your friends being gay like its not. It feels like veth has a 5 microgressions a day against gay people.

Obsessed with Fjord and Jester getting together, Caleb and Astrid getting together, herself and Caleb getting together, he'll she's even more interested in beau's comphet boyfriend than any other relationship involving wlw or mlm its just so transparent that alot of these characters value wlm relationships over anything else

On the racism MJ/Zendaya (still) faces

So, it shouldn’t be too long before the new Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer gets released. Therefore I’d like to humbly try to provide help to fight the racism these ladies are victims of, by pointing out what I think are the most reccuring patterns in the commentaries MJ/Zendaya receives. This idea came to me as I remembered I had fun screen shoting messy comments at some point and keeping them in a file just in case I’d need to prove a point, and I guess this time has come

Disclaimer: Sadly, these are in no way edits. Real people, type this stuff online. I'm aware a bunch are just really dying for a redhead, fiery and all that, Mary Jane on big screen, and that a bunch are just jealous fangirls thinking they stand a chance with someone who doesn’t even know they exist, but also none of these are reasons to be borderline, or full on racist. Some usernames are masked because I thought it wasn't that deep but still dumb, some are lucky they didn't appear, and some appear because I think that if one has the nerves to make these kind of statements, probably some exposing can not hurt them

Here we go.

1. Racism:

2.  Rationalization of hatred:

NB: A spot on response to this post

I have no screen shots for this, but the reactions to MJ saying “Therefore I have value?” in the first Far From Home trailer. In which the NEXT second she says she is joking, but you know, gotta make this an issue.I read with my own two eyes that it would "put Peter in a bad mood", or "I hate how feminist she is, makes me hate her and the actress". For this latter point, notice, Brie Larson has been getting the stupidest hate for saying she wanted her press tour to not only be white as men interviewers and being a feminist

But still, let us not be delusional, this remains about race.

3. Language: Let’s see: "Gross, "ew", "too black", “woc aren’t attractive”, “sick to my stomach”, “no chemistry”, “ (bonus: letting a single character ruin your whole love for Peter…..) Oh and bad attitude” “rude as fuck”, “basic-ass negative”, “forced”, “NO Chemistry”, “she made fun of him”. I could go on but it’s not in these posts, but you get me. Like what is gross? What is the standard for chemistry? Is calling him a "loser" truly the end of the world or is it all a reach because MJ doesn't cater to hegemonic feminity, so it makes her rudw? (S/O to Brie Larson again, who is having her whole body language analyzed to prove her co stars hate her/is being compared to every actress who has played a super hero to prove that it's ok to dislike her because she is not "nice" compared to the hegemonic standard these x other actresses correspond to.) Btw, “I love Zendaya but” is a classic too, usually prefaces nonsense

4. "I love x character who is a poc/x black character so this take is invalid”. Wrong. Not being racist towards one race is not a stop from being anti black, furthermore in this case, it is not a stop from not falling into mysoginoir. Very simply, “mysoginy directed towards black womenwhere race and gender both play roles in bias.” It’s all systemic. Loving Ned doesn't prevent you from being anti black. Men are privileged over women and then it’s race coming into play, always. Zendaya/MJ is a black woman, so she is less worthy of everything, and so it makes little sense in these people’s minds that Peter would like her, let alone that he’d want to date her. Ned is a man, so he is not a threat to fangirls’ fantasies, in which you’ll also notice they treat Ned/Jacob Batalon better than MJ (well, whatever "better" is when you aren’t a skinny white boy….).

5. "Liz was better". (Very often is the pov of, wait for it, white girls (often male fans would rather not even have Spidey in a relationship all short, so yeah). Because she was a fleshed out character absolutely not solely designed as a plot device to the Toomes reveal, or because she embodied the behavior that is deemed as THE one women should have if they want a man's attention and so it is easier to project yourself into her than it is to do so with MJ? That was rhetorical. Gender socialization. Hegemonic feminity. Be white, nice, docile, so very sweet and ready to please, or you won't find a man/job! But men can be shitty and yet will be called badass or witty. Think here for a sec, how many people who dislike Michelle for being rude, are into TONY STARK/Irondad? And God knows I love Tony, but as if he is a saintl? From his pre cave antics to the way he was with Peter in Homecoming and some other stuff in between. Also, he would fucking love MJ lol? What differentiates them so much at the end of the day, from the constant sarcasm to the obvious need to hide their feelings behind it? And that she clearly loves Peter, as did Tony but it took him until Endgame to show it. What makes it ok for him to not have shown it from the jump but makes MJ undeserving of character developpement and of Peter falling in love with her in Far From Home after an obviously planned character developpement? The fact that Tony is white and male. That's it

Candice Patton/Iris in The Flash, hell, Serena Williams in tennis, are all examples of this

6. Another thing that does not appear here but that exists, related to MJ or not, is attempting to erase Zendaya’s blackness to deny these reactions could possibly be racially motivated. “She is half white”. Or whatever headass take of the likes. But we know those 50% are not the reason why she is “Not the real MJ”. So which is it? Is she too black or not white enough? The answer is: Both. And both are racist statements, period. The people saying “they should have just named her Mary Jane” are also the same who were all up Zendaya and Marvel’s ass when her casting news dropped, bet

In conclusion, racism has many more faces else than explicitly using the n word, exactly like these microgressions above

They are not ok, because they stem from systematic racism and oppression, including negative stereotyping. This idea that black women are aggressive, not desirable, and not beautiful enough etc is nothing new but it still does not make it tolerable. Nobody who is racist or using a microagression, consciously or not, will actually ever admit it when called out on it. So dare to open that can of worms if you can. And for those who have been called out, please actually listen to why this statement is being made, especially if it's by a POC. That way you should technically never face this accusation again because you'd have listened and learned, instead of not listening and learning and finding yourself getting called names every turn, because you refused the lesson you could have gotten at the last turn

Spider-Man: Far From Home comes out on July 2nd and its press tour is starting today. I'd like to encourage everyone to above all, provide Zendaya/MJ the support she is going to need online, as she will this time get more to chew in this movie than in Homecoming, and yet people will still find reasons to complain, but also to not forget to pay attention in the future, to the frequency of use of these patterns when talking about MJ/Zendaya and to not let them stop you from defending these ladies. Let Z (and Marvel too while at it) know you have their back. She is a very attuned to social media lady, she would not miss the memo, nor would Marvel

A cute edit: We love racism and disrespecting drug addicts for no reason. Carry on though, idiots

imma just leave this thought here:

How do u think F1/the world would’ve reacted to Lewis Hamilton’s record breaking achievement if he were white?

#f1 #f1 blm #lewis hamilton #I just #this man is a whole living legend #and people wanna stay salty #with their microgressions #like baby work on yourself

[whtdd-moved]

yall take lots of pride in stanning racists characters. mark shouldnt be ur problematic fave hes racist. not even lowkey frank said hes racist. the show makes a point of mark never learning from his microgressions. etc. the point of mark beaks is that he was suppose to come off as this great fun character BUT then hes a racist shit. bcus thats how it is irl! ppl may be fun to hang around w/ but that doesnt excuse or justify his actions. it isnt your place ( esp if ur white ) to say " well it wasnt rlly racist/ well if you ignore that, etc ". alright

Think i lost 2 followers bc of my deleted dont compare asian men to keanu Reeves as peak form for Asian men or have any asian man as somebody to compare asian men to bc its fetishistic....... Bro first off bc i know i got new followers all the time but IM MEXICAN im not even a lightskin, im not you whites at all im not a lightskin who allows microgressions and forms of degrading racism bc u can't find any asian man individually attractive without making pobre keanu reeves as a default model for it so i dont allow that. I always post whatever i want and as funny and legendary as my posts are, i post about serious stuff like this and if u cant take the heat bc YOU YOURSELF fetishize and dont wanna admit u wanna learn and change that part of yourself then why are you following?

#Cherry says #saw that go from 6 to 4 in the end... #had to address it #if u really dont feel this way and dont wanna learn #and im not even gonna teach u go read a book go outside #im not employed to teach u but im still talking about it anyway but #if THIS MANY people unfollow and its 2 too many #why are u here #YOU THINK I DO THAT?????? #no grow up caitlynn
