In the olden days, (pre 2019) if a song blew up or went viral, the whole song was viral. People knew the entire song against their will. Now, with short form media like tiktok 10 seconds of a song will get so much attention

The amount of parents who sell their children’s content on cameo is absolutely disgusting and there’s no laws against it as long as it’s not explicit in nature

It’s funny how culture spreads accidentally. Akan people heavily adorn ourselves with gold because we believe it represents life force (called Kra). It was used to show status and wealth in society.
@WrittenByHanna
not to be weird but, seeing adopted black kids still feel part of the culture is so heartwarming, very few parents bother to get it right

Living in a small village where most people are functioning communally, anyone who tries to do things on their own ends up carrying too much burden. Why should anyone raise their children alone?

Mainstream media is going to try to push another satanic panic narrative against all "new age" spirituality bc of a woman who was likely experiencing psychosis. If this had happened to a Christian, Muslim etc it would never be treated this way.

The differences between the male and the female sides of this are very interesting to witness, but the pipeline is real and harmful for both. Femcels and the like tend to be more self loathing while lncels place a lot of blame on the external aspects

Remember when that Korean rap group got exposed for s*xually harassing and grooming underage black girls. These types of people are more than just cultural appropriators, some of them are genuine threats and should be treated as such. The obsession with black people gets deeper

Just trying to understand. Maybe there’s a cultural difference im missing. But in either situation it seems like it’s better for everyone involved

I hope we start to see the danger of internet echo chambers. Those little YouTube videos and anti-sjw memes spiraled into what we have now. People got sick of having to change for marginalized people and now they want to put things back.
@NotLaja
Gen Z and younger millennials grew up in an era where p*rn was easily accessible and mainstream feminists at the time pushed nudity and sexuality as a form of liberation. That constant unfiltered exposure to sexuality from a young age can cause a regression to social conservatism
@thoughtfulbae
People don’t agree because they don’t see trap as a valid art form within rap but that’s a conversation for another day. Trap and drill rappers don’t get enough credit for how much work they put in
Stop comparing Asian men’s struggles with their perception of masculinity in the western world to black womens struggle with misogynoir, that has robbed black women of their femininity. It will never be the same, just because you can’t get a white girl to fuck you
@mayowasworld
Reminds me of what I said awhile ago. People really lack respect for the "commoners" of any society as if they probably weren’t the most interesting and important part
@disrupthehuman
Something about this tweet just felt so dehumanizing in a way and thank you for putting it into words. Sexuality is a spectrum but treating people like that is so weird
A lot of ppl are critiquing this by saying this looks like a racist caricature and tbh I feel like you need to evaluate your own internalized antiblackness if you see art portraying black features without inherently "romanticizing it" and you think it’s a bad reflection
