idk about putting them in situations but ily and i hope you have a great evening king
which one do you prefer strawberry shortcakes or chocolate cake. your retrospring theme tastes like matcha though
I have a confession I'm not a matcha enjoyer. like I'll eat matcha themed desserts but I don't drink matcha. I fw hojicha HARD though.
I think I like the concept of strawberry shortcakes more. but I end up eating more chocolate cake in life generally. both are good. but only one has a the best song of all time written about it (strawberry cake by xdz)
hey i just wanted to say thank you for the space you've created on twt. i find myself feeling silly/foolish for being so upset/disappointed by the kids' behavior/choices, and your page reminds me that im not alone. that yes, the actions of celebrities aren't everything, and don't need to inform my own choices or morals, but at the same time it's okay to be hurt when people you think highly of align themselves with people who do and believe horrifying things. i just wanted you to know that im so appreciative of the messages you chose to elevate. thank you, and have a lovely day. 💜
this is really kind of you, and something I needed to hear too. I've been extremely disillusioned with them and other stays lately. I can hope and wish that the kids will take a public stand all I want, but Palestinian liberation is what really matters in the end, so I'm focusing on that as much as I can. I hope you're taking care of yourself and thank you for this lovely message 🤍
This is for the op asking about why race matters. Don't want to say this on main so as a reply, here's thoughts from a bipoc: Yes it matters and It shows. With about a 90% accuracy, I can tell you when an author is white just by reading a fic. It doesn't matter if its american white or European white. You can tell because of the way relationships are written and characters are explored. Sometimes, if the research is really well done, it's harder to catch but again: I'm always write when I read something and go "this was written by a white person". Which, its not a bad thing in any way. It's entirely a okay for white person to write things. Race will affect everything though, because it affects our upbringing and worldview, which he inevitably translate into and project onto, the very people we write in fics.
love your big brain. <3 and ur even bigger heart <33
hii! i ask you this in the most polite way possible as i'm trying to understand. can you elaborate how being white would change things when you write content about poc? i really never thought about that being a problem... like, is it bad for a white person to write about poc?? i don't get it pls explain it further
sure! before I say anything, I want to mention I only speak for myself. another poc might have a different opinion, and you should inform yourself based on a swath of others' perspectives. this is just mine!
"is it bad for a white person to write about poc?"
tldr: no.
personally, I would encourage everyone to create a diverse cast of characters whenever they can. if a white person takes care to research and be culturally sensitive, then there's no issue with white people writing non-white characters.
"can you elaborate how being white would change things when you write content about poc?"
tldr: race impacts everything, which means it also affects how/what a person creates.
white people writing non-white characters is not a problem by itself, and I don't believe I ever said that – my apologies if that's how my tweet came across. but a creator's race does affect how/what they create, because race affects everything: how you're perceived, how you're raised, how others treat you, etc. for this reason, race will always matter, even in content creation.
I've said it like 50 times atp but it wouldn't hurt to repeat: this doesn't mean anyone needs to disclose private information about themselves. everyone is entitled to privacy on the internet. regardless, a person's race still matters when it comes to creating characters, especially when the content is poc-centric.
even "good/proper representation" should not be absolved of potential criticism, because that metric is not objective. that criticism should take into account the creator's race.
this might seem like a bit much for "just fanfiction" but unfortunately, race is central to everything, and therefore matters, even in fanfiction and fanart. it doesn't have to inform whether or not you consume content from white or non-white creators. but it still matters.
I hope this helps and doesn't come off as preachy, I tried to get my point across as clearly as possible! sorry for the length as well. thank you for being polite and have a good week 🙇🏻♀️
