#ive been seeing tons of shitty stuff and I've had enough

[ivyglow]

Y’all I wasn’t going to write a whole ass post about this, but I’m seeing tons of asks and blogs answering and brushing things off when there’s a huge problem in this community. Just to make one thing clear: bipoc is not a homogenous group, we -just as you white people- are unique in our own ways, that means yes we have black conservatives, we have trans conservatives, etc but that doesn’t mean if they told ya that something did not hurt them it doesn’t hurt others either. So when there’s a black person on your asks saying that she’s not bothered about a player who has made a racist remark that doesn’t mean she’s speaking in the name of the whole community, and that doesn’t mean that another black person who felt deeply hurt by it is wrong. Take one person’s remark as the truth is racist itself, it’s like saying “hey, my black friend told me this is alright with him, so this needs to be alright with you too”. I’m asking for you guys to STOP hiding behind the “I’m trying to be anti-racist” bs and just straight up have the guts to tell your opinion and say that, in fact, you really don’t care about some groups not feeling safe in this damn site or in this shitty world matter of factly. 

And yes support someone who openly did something that is clearly racist/homophobic/transphobic is feeding and agreeing with this violent structure, even if you don’t wanna recognize it. This is not about canceling people or starting a dictatorship, this is about seeing the bigger picture and trying to do something about it. Because while you’re just there in the comfort of “oh I support the cause, hockey is for everyone, etc” and not doing something or not calling your friends out for their behaviors people are *dying*. 

ALSO: if the player eventually says they’re sorry it’s not your place to say “oh okay, we forgive you” if you were not the one hurt. 

another thing: we hold the right to not forgive someone after they did something mean to us (directly or indirectly) and that’s ok, so stop coming to people who still made at some @ to say they need to let go of hate. 

plus: if you don’t understand the situation, don’t judge or starting saying shitty things, just shut up and go educate yourself.

If your fave follows and likes transphobic, racist shit he’s agreeing with it and if you still support him after knowing all this you are also agreeing with it. 

*this goes not only for the example I gave, but this also goes especially for the transphobic remarks we’ve been having lately on this app. 

Pay some respect for the trans ppl in this community who are open to teach you even thought is not their job to educate! 

That’s it, thanks for coming to my ted talk.
