I PROMISED I WAS ONLY GONNA TALK ABOUT GOOD THINGS AND WITCHCRAFT DONT MAKE ME NOT DO THAT
Literally just had someone DM us how white is a slur.
I can't even right now.
WHAT DID I JUST SAY
@spiderrobotpig someone called Pollux DM me to "go fuck yourself english bastard" after my burn the académie jinx
@sempervirenx Nice.
No, this was rushyo? Was a Mutual, then they got upset we said "white boys" and informed us that it was a racial slur in the U.K.
Which I literally don't care about, and also highly doubt.
And then proceeded to rant about how people talking about the problems with white supremacy are the same as those defending it and we dipped.
@spiderrobotpig we should just dump all of them in volcano tbh
@sempervirenx We're down with this
swears, white people Afficher plus
swears, white people Afficher plus
@spiderrobotpig I'd boost, but I have this feeling that would just cause you more trouble than good.
@maloki Honestly, if you boost it they notify you not me, so go for it if you'd like. I'll just check what happens
@spiderrobotpig as someone said, not consistent. Can depend on app or web etc.
@maloki Oh that makes sense.
We're almost always on the app so maybe that's it?
@spiderrobotpig yeah, shoulds like that's it.
I replied from Tusky before, which seems to not tag only one person.
I dunno, it's confusing.
@maloki Yeah that's definitely odd :/ *shrug*
@spiderrobotpig O.o I don't really like using "white" for myself, but it's _not_ a slur. Good grief!
@melindrea We can't even
It's ridiculous
@spiderrobotpig Exactly.
My main complaints about it has to do with how … fluid a concept it is, and how often it's used in ways that suggest I should feel kinship with people who I have nothing in common with except for a similar (low) level of melanin.
@melindrea Yeah, and even a low level of melanin doesn't guarantee you're white (light skinned black folks, Irish people, Jewish people, etc etc)
@spiderrobotpig As I said. "fluid".
@melindrea Yeah exactly.
Sorry we do that haha
@spiderrobotpig Don't apologise, since you exemplified the fluidity and ... well, social-construction-ness of whiteness well =)
and it's so nice to have enough space to not need to birdstorm ones thoughts! I mean, i don't have that much thoughts right now (mind mush--at work!) but ... still nice =)
@melindrea Yah definitely :3 its like 3 1/2 tweets which is neat
@spiderrobotpig And most of the times, my thoughts won't need more than 3 tweets. I just lose the plot if they're longer =)
@melindrea That makes sense haha
@spiderrobotpig you got pollux too?
