People always talk about how misogyny is ingrained into everyone and everything but no one seems to realize that unlearning it requires effort and actual reflection even if you’re a woman and/or queer
i think a lot of the people who say that warning posts are useless drama-starters that only exist to further harass marginalized/vulnerable people would have more plausible deniability if those type of posts didnt spring up literally every single time a black user pointed out that a white user is racist
and also if the Black user didn’t proceed to get racist harassment from the white users followers for pointing out said racism
Black tumblr user: this user is racist, here is proof, and i would prefer it if those who willingly interact with this person after knowing this to keep their distance from me
dashboard for the next 4 days: when you make a callout post for someone you have murdered them. it is the same thing. it is the exact same thing as taking a life. you have killed them forever and you have blood on your hands.
What’s actually so fucked up is the reminder that Black and Native ppl have been saying for decades that we are killed unceremoniously by the state all the time and not only do the masses not rly care, but it doesn’t clue them in to the fact that they live under a fascist dictatorship.
now that they’re killing yt women and kids n shit everyones pulling their hair like ‘oMG we are at the stage where they are just killing citizens!’
and then wondering why that’s not inciting outrage
pfft. bc y'all have been subconsciously groomed for centuries to be deeply okay with the violence of your oppressors due to allegiance by race.
My child, who spends their entire life being transfered from home to car to school and back, and is not allowed to leave the house or talk to anyone and can only in their wildest dreams imagine a life free from constant surveillance, is very sad. Obviously they’re dumb and lazy, like all kids these days.
kind of a tangent but i recently went to a bowling alley with my friend i’m 19 he’s 18 and the woman at the door didn’t want to let us in because there was a sign saying under-18s needed adult supervision. everything got cleared up and we were able to go bowl, but i’m still so mad about the fact that kids need adult supervision to go to a bowling alley and arcade. like okay maybe young kids should have supervision but what do you mean middle and high schoolers need to hold mommy’s hand while they play video games. kids aren’t just addicted to their phones because phones are addicting, we’re addicted to our phones because there’s nothing else to fucking do
I’m sure banning kids from online spaces while simultaneously not ensuring that they have access to offline spaces to socialize in (without having to rely on their parents who already don’t have time for them) will help them feel better & less alienated from society.
