Saw this on Twitter and some of you bitches need to read this 🤨
What’s even more frustrating is that I know y’all just gonna ignore this because tumblr is a very white dominated space and some of you don’t think you need to do any introspection at all because you think you’ve done the work already. But I am tired of y’all never centering or uplifting studs in lesbian spaces. They’re not the shadow of the rest of y’all. I’m pretty sure there’s like 2 Black lesbians, and like 6 Black sapphics on here (me included) and I have made the observation that y’all don’t really make it apparent to include us in sapphic spaces. We don’t get tagged to participate in games or selfie threads, we don’t get reblogged enough or y’all never reblog pictures of Black lesbians or Black sapphic couples because y’all don’t see us as the beauty standard, we get talked over in group settings, we get ignored when trying to make friends with y’all (I have noticed that white femmes tend to acknowledge me more than white butches tho) and it feels very isolating and ostracizing to see us as an afterthought and I genuinely think that’s why there’s hardly any Black lesbians on here or Black sapphics in general. Cus they don’t feel appreciated, seen or centered on here. Y’all treat us like an extension of y’all that’s not worth paying attention to. But the point is, is that studs and Black femmes have rich, beautiful experiences and we’re not the “Black version” of anything.
I rly hate the Satanic Panic & the moral panic surrounding violence in video games in the 90s, coz it's now impossible to talk about the social implications of violent video games in a realistic sense.
No, violence in video games does not create serial killers in the way most people imagine it would.
However, it's very important to notice how after 9/11, a lot of violent video games pivoted their content from silly gratuitous cartoon gore to more realistic military shooters set in the Levant from a US American lens. It's also important to notice the connection of these games & their toxic online multi-player voice chats to Gamer Gate in 2014.
It's obviously not as black & white as it was presented in the 80s & 90s, I dont think everyone who played early Call of Duty games is a white supremacist who wants to join the military to kill people in the middle east, but I think it's dangerous to pretend like video games or any media can't have an impact on the way people think about violence.
I think what makes all the difference here is how that violence is portrayed, what the message behind it is, what the motives are behind the people who crafted that message, who the victims of that violence are, how they are portrayed & the greater cultural context that surrounds it.
person who has only watched one anime: what i really love about dungeon meshi is how it subverts our expectations of a typical anime by not sexualising women and having a good plot!
if it was about 15 years ago i’d already have seen 12 different AMVs of chimera falin set to three days grace animal i have become on my feed but that just doesn’t happen anymore. because of woke
Stepping or step dancing is “a percussive dance in which the participant’s body is used to produce complex rhythms and sounds through a mixture of footsteps, spoken word, and hand-claps,” writes the African American Registry.
Step has its origins in Africa, as dancing has been a large part of traditional African culture for centuries.
Calling Step a "bizarre silent dance without music" has to be one of the wilder antiblack racist descriptions I've ever heard of stepping lmao. Anyway if you see the video, it's step!!! They're stepping!! It's a Black American form of dance!!
do you actually give a damn about transfems. do you care about us. our interests, even the ones that arent stereotypically applied to us? do you care about the unpalatable? the uninteresting? the masculine? even the ones you hate and abhor? do you think our suffering is unjust? would you listen to us? do you think we deserve love? would you listen to me? please listen to us. please.
