Quote me saying that. I didn’t.
Nice bait, though. Someone who’s not paying attention to the conversation might have been fooled by it.

It sounds to me like you’re a good person. The people they’re talking about are the ones who may have stopped hating, say, gay people – but who have redirected their bigotry toward other marginalized groups like trans people or Palestinians.
In my opinion, there’s effectively no such thing as a good or bad person – it’s the words and actions that count. No matter what you’ve done in the past, that’s over now.
This! One of the most disgusting trends I’ve seen are people misappropriating queer symbology to try to queerwash their genocide of Palestinians. They don’t care about us anymore than they care about the children they’re murdering.
No one person can represent an entire culture though. That’s why it’s on us to learn how to be respectful.
For example, someone from Mexico might be just fine with offensive Hispanic stereotypes, but that doesn’t excuse such behavior. You can’t just ask a random person for a pass, like what? Even asking for something like that would be utterly tasteless lmao
But cultural appreciation is not what is meant by “cultural appropriation.” Cultural appropriation is when it’s done in a disrespectful manner.
I grew up with some utterly racist experiences in school – the feather “headdress” and cardboard tipis, the sombreros on Cinco de Mayo, etc.
I wish I’d had someone at the time to explain why that was wrong.
To me, the term “cultural appropriation” refers to things like schools having kids make chicken feather “headdresses” to “celebrate” Native American Day, or wearing a religious symbol in a disrespectful way. Even though people like the person in the post can be annoying, I think it’s still progress that we’re able to have these discussions, and I think it’s too bad that for many people the takeaway seems to be “cultural appropriation is never problematic.” I’d take the person from the post any day over someone who thinks they’re immune from criticism when they unintentionally engage in behavior that truly is disrespectful.
Wrong. I did that 6 hours ago when I reported it, and I had to see it again at lunch.
I’m not looking again.
Yeah, I reported it six hours ago, and it had already been up for three hours at that time.
I genuinely thought they’d have removed it and didn’t expect to see it again.
Even if it’s a federation issue, this is inexcusable. They need to get their shit together, but I’m not sticking around for that to happen.
It’s not like this is the first time this has happened. It’s still grossly negligent to not have figured that part out.
It was a few minutes ago when I checked
I’m not looking again, but I think this is how one reports it in the US: https://www.stopitnow.org/ohc-content/when-and-how-to-file
Seems to not be a problem on most instances
See you on the flipside. I’m not putting myself at risk over a shitposting community

I hate it when I go to meet my Tinder date, and it’s Stalin catfishing me again
Knitting is super fun. I used to do it every day until I started my masters. I keep thinking I should restart this hobby. As long as you don’t buy ridiculously premium yarns, it’s super cheap too. I used to find boxes of yarn at yard sales or thrift stores.
You were born in the United States
There’s probably already a Dollar General on the other side of that mountain
Thank you for linking an alternative. I actually like it even more than the enshittified one.
I think about this tweet a lot.
