Racism is a problem in Japan. Even Japanese students who have natural hair colors outside of brown or black are told to dye their hair. Also, folks lost their minds a few years ago over Nike JPN having ads featuring mixed student athletes who lightly mentioned racism.
It’s come the light that a public high school in Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture didn’t let an 18yo American-Japanese Black student attend graduation because he had his hair in cornrows, and instead made him sit alone on the 2nd floor. The student said -
“Umm excuse me, I’m a white KUH-WEER! I know what REAL oppression is therefore MOI judges what racism is. I mean people called ME racist just for being raised in a conservative family and saying racist shit long after I left as a grown ass woman”.
@ejdickson
So you’re saying you yourself “banged” a racist guy who admits to watch dubiously legal porn that subjects vulnerable Black women to racist and misogynist abuse? M’am get thee back to your klan meeting.
And here we have a white woman who epitomizes a quote from James Baldwin about white queers feeling cheated in life. Like this lady looks like she’d be more than happy to join the redneck brigade if they decided to be ⚪️queer inclusive.
Dear white queers,
we already know white cis straight folks are racist and y’all seem to get it that they’re racist. The problem some of y’all literally think you become less white because you figured out you’re queer…
@BadWritingTakes
…they did kill lgbtq prisoners. I’m sad the person pointing this out has restricted their profile because they’re right. After liberation the allied forces just handed them back to be re-imprisoned.

I will note, you can be prejudiced against a minority and have sex with someone of that minority at the same time. Ask literally anybody who's had sex with men (there are homophobes who have sex with men, transphobes who have sex with trans-folks, etc)
@sophie_frm_mars
I sure hope (yt especially) players take that lesson to heart. People either incredulous or disbelieving of racism being a barrier in multiple ways to effective activism is a problem.

…the dude is a modern king of physical comedy. He’s not a Ricky Gervais who practically survives off the lowest hanging fruit of the one joke. It takes skill to be as funny at physical comedy as he is so I don’t know why the victim act.

I mean the goddamn cyber truck looks like baby’s first CAD drawing should’ve been a larger clue (I’m an engineer, I thought an intern designed it at first)
…they literally made it a plot point of their recruiting anime AKB0048 that one of the main quartet couldn’t be in a relationship with her childhood love because she’s in the group.
AKB48 member Okada Nana has "graduated" from the group for the crime of falling in love. This after group General manager Mukaichi Mion said "the time's come to rethink" the rule against members having relationships.
AKB48's parent company denies any such rule exists.
Can we start acknowledging all those “white leftists” who screech about “idpol” and “that’s racist (against white people)” are racist?
Or is racism acceptable in leftist spaces?
Trick question: of course it is…
@missmaliceSnP
Also local trans closets. I’m from a poorer area and some of the kiddos (freshman or from our math academy) that made it to our local college’s LGBTQ support group saw the visits from the trans closet as a lifeline .

Y’all may want to read the article, the “moving too fast” is in reference to China loosening regulations on the treatment production and allowing ethics committees in hospitals to directly charge patients for the treatment while also approving the treatment
@NAKlMUSHlART
I’m glad for this actor. I’m hoping with how good he looks in the cast photo this is a sign they got a proper hair and makeup team that knows exactly what they’re doing to make him shine.
@moschinodorito
For the people not getting the joke. The IDF requires embedded journalists to stick with them and they cannot go unaccompanied. They also require submittal of footage to be used in reports. Tldr: the IDF is controlling the narrative.
@harriyanna
Exactly, while he had arguably intentional progressive messages in his children's books the guy did have his blindspots and backward beliefs (whether he ever renounced those beliefs in private or publically is unimportant). People are complex and I think it's appropriate ...
So the reason Dolores Umbridge is trending is because terfy Quacks are shrieking about the new disinformation position the Biden
Administration appointed. Not shocking that the USA terfs are doing this. They’re mad science doesn’t agree with them.

Technically trans men, lesbians, and other “unsociable women” were classified with black triangles (along with MANY others) but that’s just me nitpicking, there absolutely is a reason the queer community has adopted the pink triangle

to teach about the totality of people and show that people who made positive contributions can still have negative aspects. It's not "canceling" it's just telling a more complete story about real people.
While she was absolutely criticizing cis queers for their exclusion of trans folks, I think it’s just as important to note she was was calling them out as a Latina and explicitly pointing out white folks in particular.
@MaggieMaeFish
I’m telling you people who date men, asking what their fave book or movie is and if they say fight club that is a red flag and a sign you need to prod into why they like it. If they get the themes wrong like the dude up here, RUN
This isn’t the first time Japanese school hair regulations have led to disrespecting mixed race students. We wrote a while back about one student who opened her yearbook to find the school had dyed her brown hair black.
Sylvia Rivera, one of Marsha’s closest comrades made her “you need to calm down speech” where she deliberately and bluntly calls out white queers who ignored their mostly nonwhite comrades as a “white middle class white club”
Marsha died broke and homeless and unable to transition because assimilationist cis white gays left her and other transfems to the periphery to fend for themselves. fuck y'all

He takes issue with black women smarter than him in general. See what happened to la Profesora Flores (in Spanish because his stans scan for mentions of her like hawks) because he did crap research and apparently thinks “fear of reprisal” is a justified thing.

Me and Mexican food, we have pre-colonial cuisine that was vegetarian and vegan…which is why I loathe with a thousand suns goddamn tofu tacos! We have fucking nopales(tender cactus). Why do I find tofu in Mexican restaurants more easily than an actual Mexican food!

What’s with neurotypical’s obsession with seeing smiles? I’m autistic and honestly wearing masks is great I only have to worry about eye contact and I can skip makeup (also not getting colds). Even my NT sister is like “what the hell is with these weirdos and smiling?”

The whole book line has been pretty forward thinking. Care and Keeping of You was (and in revised editions) fairly blunt about what puberty entails for female bodies. They have other books on processing emotions and interpersonal conflict for teenagers
But seriously, if you have friends saying this kind of stuff interrogate that on it. What does “morally lucky” mean? To me it looks like they think we nonwhite folks are somehow privileged to know shit is wrong from the get go because we deal with racism.
Lauren Hough, who early followers might remember from our very first Thread, is heading for Twitter Main Character status again after her social media behaviour saw her removed from a Lambada Literary prize shortlist.
That is... not quite how she sees it.
@transscribe
Not to distract but this reminds me so much of the weird pushback autistic adults are getting because of the increase in diagnosis across all age groups (they especially don’t like that adults are realizing they’re autistic).
And a whole lot of you seem incapable of turning that analysis of racism internally. James Baldwin and Sylvia Rivera made commentary of this decades ago and y’all still can’t seem to shake it and get yourselves a mirror.
@EuphoriTori
The deaths of TWO! Black children Victoria? Be specific! These aren't some old tweets of you making basketball or watermelon jokes.
Plenty of ppl grow up in environments just like yours and didn't defend the death of Tamir Rice! And what about 2020?
Correct, white people just have blind spots (you could drive a truck through) until they prove otherwise. Talk to any nonwhite autistic folks and they can tell you quite quickly how differently we’re treated by society and our frustrations with our white counterparts.
White people aren't pretending to be queer or ND to get away with racism. Those are just racist white queer or ND people.
It's actually possible to call out racist white marginalised people without spreading ableist and queerphobic rhetoric about faking identities for points?

@OhTheSunnySide
Even if you were a weirdo who thinks punk is white…English anti-racist punks created a whole ass movement/concert series because Eric Clapton made a speech in support of a British fascist and the Clash got involved.
Folks…I do not care what “ironic” reason you got for using/modifying 14 words. Don't use a goddamn white supremacist slogan made by a literal terrorist who died in prison with a 190 yr sentence partly for murdering a jewish radio presenter.
A fursuiter got invited to a concert by a band and then a guy targeted her and broke MANY mosh pit codes to target and assault her. The band fromjoy is liking comments and posts insulting her and showing her assault so fuck this band I only just learned exists

The girl who got punched in this video is currently having a CT scan on her skull to determine if there’s a fracture and orbital muscle tears. Her left eye doesn’t move. She’s been vomiting for 3 days from the concussion. fromjoy asked her to be there and wear the suit.
@PedanticRomantc
They keep saying that it's happening but they're barely doing anything with it. They could do a long game promo campaign. Promare is only a movie and they did tea blends, perfume, holiday images etc.
@ecksrei
@JazzerciseDemon
That’s not the problem. Read the linked article. They’re reporting on concerns about China loosening regulations on both the treatments production and who can approve it. It would allow committees at hospitals to advertise, approve, and directly charge for the treatment.

@Esharp777
Now the elevator scene can be included in future productions (a video essayist made a video on how the book can be read through a queer lens and goes into detail as to why the scene has never been in any movie or theater production of the work. Mostly the estate's fault).
@leojupiter333
@ejdickson
Hmm, guess it’s hard for white girls to read words “The poor girl just wanted to bang a dirtbag before settling down like the rest of us”. The only “us” I can think of are other white girls.
The poor girl just wanted to bang a dirtbag before settling down like the rest of us in their late 20s/early 30s and no one would let her do it in peace. Sad

@wolfejosh
Oh no, him being autistic has nothing to do with him being a narcissistic blowhard. Plenty of advocates already made much better commentary on his reveal of being on the spectrum (also he uses the term "Aspergers" which most autistics don't use for many reasons).
Keffals claiming that, as an Italian, fascism is in her blood?
My grandmother threw rocks at Nazis when they went through her village. The Italians strung Mussolini up and dragged him through the streets.
If fascism is genetic Italian memory, so is fighting fascism.
@the_nerd_skull
God dammit.
I’m pretty sure there’s already researched that backs up this assertion that I am bringing up purely because I’m autistic. We tend to question social norms and rules so gender and sexuality are some of those things we question the hell out of.

Also, Antoinette literally was more right wing than her husband was (he actually considered listening to the demands of the public). She also plotted to try and get foreign nobles and the holy emperor to crush the rebellion. The movie is fun but she was a selfish traitor

Me seeing grown ass women admitting they basically play brain dead to get also stupid guys to do shit for them. That’s not playing smarter thats playing dumb, what do you do when no one will do it for you? You’re going to be seen as unreliable and incapable.

@babybunloaf
It’s literally a deviating sexuality from cishetero society (which has compulsory sexuality baked into it). Also many ace folks still have romantic attractions. Literally I’m ace and panromantic. Problem is I think most folks can’t separate their sexual attraction from romantic
