#white people nonsense

[rowanthegremlin]

Message for my fellow white people: this is about someone shining a huge spotlight on abuse and calling out an abuser, it's not just some fun drama to gossip about until you move on to something else. If you can't grasp it's something way bigger and more important than '"two guys beefing'' then you don't need to insert yourself into conversations about it

#the amount of straight up offensive takes I'm seeing trivialising this whole thing is not surprising but it fucking sucks #it's not even my place to be saying this shit but unfortunately some people will only listen if it comes from a white person so #I'm saying it once then I'm shutting my mouth and minding my own business #black people on tumblr have to suffer so much nonsense I'm sorry #kendrick lamar #drake

'I flirted with the idea that instead of being trans that I was just a cross-dresser (a quirk, I thought, that could be quietly folded into an otherwise average life) and that my dysphoria was sexual in nature, and sexual only. And if my feelings were only sexual, then, I wondered, perhaps I wasn’t actually trans.

I had read about a book called The Man Who Would Be Queen, by a Northwestern University professor who believed that transwomen who were attracted to women were really confused fetishists, they wanted to be women to satisfy an autogynephilia. And though I first read about this book in the context of its debunkment and disparagement, I thought about the electricity of slipping on those tights, zipping up those boots, and a stream of guilt followed. Maybe this professor was right, and maybe I was only a fetishist. Not trans, just a misguided boy.

About a year later, on the Internet, I come across a transwoman who added a unique message to the crowd refuting this professor. Oh, I wish I remember who this woman was, and I wish even more that I could do better than paraphrase her, but I remember her saying something like this: “Well, of course I feel sexy putting on women’s clothing and having a woman’s body. If you feel comfortable in your body for the first time, won’t that probably mean it’ll be the first time you feel comfortable, too, with delighting in your body as a sexual thing?”'

-Casey Plett, Consciousness

#this quote always moves me almost to tears when i remember it #i'm not a trans woman and i don't share the author's specific experiences with transition #but it really moves me that she frame transition as joyfully giving yourself permission to approach your body #not as something that has to be disciplined and deprived and made small in all these various ways #but as a means for experiencing pleasure and joy and delight and for insisting that our feelings and desires are worth #valuing and exploring and treasuring #i always used to think of prioritizing those things for myself as selfish and irresponsible #but who does it harm to want to experience pleasure in your own body? #it's such a beautifully simple and powerful switch to have flip in your head #and equally why are we forced to deny our own pleasure in transition and anything else related to our bodies in the name of moral rectitude #this is why i get so confused and pissed off when other trans people are fatphobic for example #like why are you so invested in politics of shame and disgust that never had any purpose other than #violently disciplining people as if they've violated moral codes by existing in a body #to say nothing of white people being racist in gay and trans communities #like again this system of violence is foundational to homophobia and transphobia #so why are you acting like it has nothing to do with you #even if you are unmoved by the urgency of other people's suffering which btw you should be moved by #what do you hope to gain by acting a collaborator and handmaiden to those systems #Casey Plett #she really is one of my favorite authors i wish more non-canadians read her #this quote is from a series of columns she did ont transition and every single one is a banger #i love when she talks about the people-pleasing elements of dysphoria and transition denial #she's so sharp about noting how many of us deny our own dysphoria on the grounds that others like and validate our bodies #that's how i always felt during my cis conventionally feminine era #it pleased other people so much and also that reception felt so hollow and joyless to me because i hated it #i get less of that positive feedback but that feels so unimportant next to the joy and pleasure i get to experience #said with the understanding that i'm very privileged in being able to prioritize those things without fear. but it was a switch flip #personal nonsense

Enough “fiction doesn’t effect reality” or “what you like in fiction reflects what you like in reality” discourse, solely because everyone immediately goes on the attack about people taking away their porn or yelling about strike through or whatever the fuck.

It’s a conversation that fundamentally undermines and squashes down discussion of racism and misogyny in fandom to the point that anyone who brings it up is labeled a puritan so if you spend all your time talking about this, I’m convinced you don’t have real problems that you have to find some persecution complex to make yourself into a victim

#seek speaks #fandom nonsense #fandom racism #fandom misogyny #considering the vast majority of people who spend so much of their time complaining about shit like this are white #well. we have the answer don’t we #give me the audacity of a queer white woman in fandom who wants to be seen as a victim

“Nobody seems to think reality matters anymore.” says Karen, complaining about what she sees as a lack of realism in…*checks notes*…Doctor Who.

y'all don't actually respect black people. like. at all

#crsent.txt #i don't fucking get it bro #if black people are saying not to use something that's specific to our community and ur first reaction is to bitch out and accuse them of- #being zionists... i have news for u #you might not actually care for minorities as much as you'd like to delude yourself into #its unfortunate that i had to block a few ppl spewing antiblk nonsense to back a white guy #like watch ur mouth. too comfortable

Nico watching Hades be forced into disciplining the other two when they're fighting because the girls don't want to: Haha, glad I don't have any younger siblings to deal with that.

Nico, when a random camper comes screaming at him and Hazel that Percy, Jason, and Thalia are on the verge of fistfighting again: Oh fuck, I forgot about them.

#nico di angelo #happy talks pjo #he and hazel share a look and then dip because who's got time for white people nonsense ya know

[madohomurat]

all else aside, people who love men, or are men, in any way shape or form, who insist upon referring to themselves as lesbians despite discomfort of actual lesbians, are creepy. like theres nothing pure and innocent about your disregard for the basic boundaries of lesbian community.

its creepy that you feel so entitled to a word even after people have explained to you why and how its shitty to use it for yourself when theres a thousand alternatives. and its entirely your own fault if lesbians feel uncomfortable or unsafe around you.

[transgender women arent men and if you thought i was talking about them that says more about you than it does me]

#discourse bullshit sorry #its just so insane to me the nonsensical obsession that these people have with a word that isnt for them #reminds me of how white people act in regards to the n word #like damn yeah you arent going to jail for it but everyone is allowed to still think you're a fuckikg bigot

[biracy]

I've talked abt this before but I wanna clean it up a little bit... I think the way a lot of, and pardon my usage here, The White Gays(tm) talk about "cultural appropriation" within The Community is wholly performative and displays, in my opinion, not a willingness to Respect the cultural contributions made and still being made by Black and Latino gay and trans people but to distance themselves from it as much as possible under the guise of, idk, "sitting my white ass down and listening". In general there's always a point Cultural Appropriation Discourse reaches where it just starts to become "white people should only ever do White People Things, any participation by white people in something deemed NOT a White Person Thing is in some way degrading or humiliating and Wrong" which is not something I'm fond of. Personally I just do not find the complete separation of "the white gays" from "all the rest of us" to be particularly politically useful and it certainly does not make my culture feel respected I can tell you that much

#also no one on here knows what 'aave' means you can still have gay slang within a *dialect* #'white people can't say 'slay' because 'slay' is aave' is a nonsense sentence. recognize this #open mick night #lgbt #boricuaisms

i don't want to hate on someone else's post but this post makes me so crazy every time i see it baozi is not a dumpling it is a bun it is a BREAD it's right there in the name

It's genuinely disturbing that people feel comfortable calling others "nazis" because they like characters in a way they don't find personally acceptable. Especially when they think that people calling them out are wrong because a post being "tagged properly" is apparently a free pass to say whatever (their post not even being tagged correctly is a perfect summation of their idiocy). The level of brain rot is unbelievable. People are acting like this over fictional characters because they're that desperate to "win" arguments in fandom. It is truly the mark of people who aren't intelligent enough to make an actual point. I suppose that's how they landed on the logic that blocking everyone who disagrees with them and preserving their echo chamber makes them correct.

#this is why we have to normalize calling people stupid cause they think hitting send on a post means they've made an actual point #they really think they're George's personal appointed keepers of the canon and they get to decide what the story is for themselves lol #what a bunch of fucking lewsers and then they're too cowardly to actually face being called out so they block anyone who disagrees #but if I said wanting the Starks to reclaim winterfell/the North was white supremacy cause they stole the land from the cotf I'd be wrong #/tagged properly/ and they know they'd throw a fit if someone disliked their fave and put it in the anti tag lol they're so hypocritical #you ask for proof of this behavior that is supposedly so prevalent they feel justified on calling targ stans nazis and then it's crickets #the way people trivialize white supremacist behavior is so annoying because it's so often not taken seriously #like if you really think someone's behavior is leaning towards that why is reaction to have a superiority complex around it?? #fandom nonsense #anti targaryen antis #there my post is tagged properly so they can't bitch about it if they see it #=

Tumblr was having a moment of trying to educate white people on rap which as a black person I think was a mistake but those ******** were talking about some fuckass “They’re writing poetry about each other🥺.” and fucking Kendrake yaoi or some bs like I saw a white person be like “I know Kendrick hates that man but yaoi is yaoi” like he literally called him a pedophila and told him to kill himself and called him a pedophile again we need white people gone.

#kendrick lamar #drake #I wish it were the 90s so that Kendrick could’ve shit Drake in a drive by so that I wouldn’t be forced to read white people nonsense. #rap #rap beef

i feel like the "many queer and trans people are BROWN" is uh, well. im not sure how we got here. what bad history did we learn about to arrive at this conclusion.

#why do i feel like its “white people invented gender roles” or some such nonsense

[bogkeep]

okay i know that to ME it's obvious that the word blåhaj is just "blue shark" in swedish and it's obvious to ME how it's pronounced, but i have never heard a native english speaker use the word before now and i need a moment to recover

#there's a new episode of the overly sarcastic productions podcast #and IT MAKES SENSE TO PRONOUNCE IT THAT WAY IF IT'S JUST A NONSENSICAL SWEDISH PRODUCT NAME TO YOU #Blahazh.... #yes yes yes white scandinavian privilege but the way people mispronounce scandinavian words and names..........

[mordcore]

i just realized that i've been lied to.

i mean i knew that i've been lied to by the 2015's cult-like movement on tumblr pretending to care about social justice

but i'm still healing from it you know? anyway what i was lied to about this time is

the idea that black people care wether or not i'm secretly racist

i think they don't actually give a shit they just wanna live their lives in peace

and if i consider how i feel about cis people as a trans person (this often helps me empathize with struggles of racial marginalization). yeah i also don't care if random cis people are secretly transphobes. just treat me decent. i can't read your mind (no one can) but if i could i wouldn't bother. i have more important things to do than to worry about a random stranger or acquaintances secret political values or whatever. and if we're friends i'm gonna ask that your values allign with mine but i don't actually expect you to know everything, as long as your mind is open and you're generally nice and respectful i am quite chill. it's probably reasonable to expect the same general attitude from others.

this is gonna help with the ocd, i think/hope

#my stuff #like im already aware that most of the people peddling the hateful nonsense back in the day were probably white anyways #but man this crap has seeped deep into my brain #moral ocd #racism ocd

A lot of people, especially Progressive™ White people, will brag to the high heavens about disliking white people like it’s a Badge of Honor™ instead of unlearning their white supremacist behavior, learning how it manifests and how to stop it, and calling it out when they see it.

Disliking white people is much easier, and more socially acceptable, than actually changing for the better. You get to slap an Ally™ badge on your chest, and do absolutely fuckall and get credit for it.
