Physogs or having fun with a very sexist, misogynist and racist game; not surprising at all from a game based on a “science” like physiognomy.

Physogs, the Novel Card Game (1940s) · Playing cards (eyes - nose - mouth) Physogs, a British game from the 1940s, is a popularized version of physiognomy, the art of judging human character from facial features. Based on sociologist Jacques Penry's How to Judge Character from the Face (1939), the game consists of fifty-six...

posers in the coquette community remind me of the posers in the punk community, they’re basically the same type of people in different fonts and styles. Punk posers would try to push this narrative that being punk is about being “kind and sweet” when that’s literally the opposite. Do you actually think the word itself, PUNK, which is usually used to describe someone being REBELLIOUS, SNARKY AND ALL AROUND JERK, going to be about BEING KIND AND SUGARY SWEET???? HUH????? And they’d also get mad when they realize that anarchism and being very much against the government is basically integrated into the punk subculture and try to make conservative ideology the “new punk” just makes them look stupid to actual punks. I have a mutual (@punkeropercyjackson) who’s a bit more knowledgeable on the punk subculture so I might need to go to them for more information.
But it’s the same with the coquette posers. They’ll scream that coquette is only for the “correct” type of people (white, skinny, cis, straight and very gender conforming teenage girls) and will harass anyone else who doesn’t fit that category of people who also post coquette stuff. They’ll also restrict what type of styles are and aren’t coquette as if they’ve received an honorary badge to be the new coquette fashion police who will insult anyone who doesn’t fit their strict criteria. And when people call them out on this, and call them the posers they are, those same people will just say to “stop caring so much” and that they should “calm down” to make themselves look rational while making the person calling them out look insane and rude when they aren’t. Also god forbid you call them out for being fatphobic, racist, misogynistic, and/or ped0ph1lic, because now YOU’RE harassing THEM… somehow

Ella Fitzgerald and Marilyn Monroe at the Tiffany Club (1954)
Ella Fitzgerald was not allowed to play at the popular Mocambo, in Hollywood, because of her race. Marilyn, who loved her music and supported civil rights, called the owner of the Mocambo and told him that if he booked Ella immediately, she would take a front table every night. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. After that, Ella never had to play in a small jazz club again. “She was an unusual woman - a little ahead of her times. And she didn't know it." - Ella Fitzgerald about Marilyn Monroe

Mamie Till-Mobley, the mother of young Emmett Till, who was abducted, tortured, and lynched in Mississippi on August 28, 1955, addresses a crowd of 15,000 in Harlem later that year.
In her autobiography Death of Innocence: The Story Of The Hate Crime That Changed America, Till-Mobley wrote:
It is not that I dwell on the past. But the past shapes the way we are in the present and the way we will become what we are destined to become. It is only because I have finally understood the past, accepted it, embraced it, that I can fully live in the moment. And hardly a moment goes by when I don’t think about Emmett, and the lessons a son can teach a mother.
