#whitecentrism

[punkeropercyjackson]

Indie is extremely good as an aesthetic and media genre and lifestyle but unfortunately it's been taken over by white people who think Taylor Swift is relatable but that Olivia Rodrigo's music is trash,refuse to play any game that dosen't have a physical copy,wear weird clothes because they're the current fashion instead of for self-expression,get weirded out at non-standard anything even food and can't name a black or transfem person off the top of their head including in their friend group.I'm a pastel punk who covers all the punk culture bases including having the tastes regular punks usually do doing irl anarchism shit and having a freak ass gender but i'm also autistic with a special interest in indie so i got posers on every fucking side,girl help,

BLACKWASH GONCHAROV YOU FUCKING IDIOTS

[pronouncingitwang]

i can't believe ppl ever made fun of picrews. as if putting top surgery scars and mismatched earrings on a little guy that looks like you isn't the only cure to dysphoria and also depression

[note-a-bear]

One of the most cursed things about contemporary westerns is that unless they're *really* bad they're almost always gorgeous to look at, even when it's an otherwise dull story.

[doberbutts]

the fact you believe in whitecentric anti-science nonsense like gender is so sad. no one on earth has a gender. it doesn't exist. next you'll be saying you have a soul. stop being a rightwing freak for two seconds!!!!

Hello my name is anon and boy howdy I can sure buzzword angrily at people

[wenkexingdefenselawyer]

bro yes i get it that they did not want gramblack to happen in order to maintain some Ultimate capitalistic offgun couple reputation agenda but then why did they go ruin gram's caring loving character that loved black for who he was and as a result, they stripped black off one of the most meaningful connections in his life depicting him as this cold lonely unloved loser they took away all his friends except todd and in the process they turned 'not me' into a whitecentric series, bro that was so unfair and disrespectful to the whole essence of the story bro

[leyfin]

also white anime fans are overwhelmingly whitecentric racists who refuse to see asian people as human unless they can effectively whitewash them anyway

[eulangelo]

genuine question, what do you think is the root of transmisogyny? or rather, do you think fearmomgering about the inherent predatory nature of men ISN'T part of transmisogyny? or do you think this only targets trans women??? because men of color are also very much affected by this rhetoric

i dont even know where to start but is extremely obvious to me that you take your info on what terfs are from tumblr only and never looked into anything beyond what's passed around in tme circles. the core aspect of terfs' ideology it's literally there, in the acronym. it's a movement for trans exclusionary radical feminists. it's a movement centered around excluding trans women from feminism. terfs hate trans women because they want to be recognized as WOMEN, they want to be included in feminism, and terfs do not want that. that's it. that's what it means to be a terf.

terfs are absolutely obsessed with the idea that trans women want to invade their spaces, they will do anything in their power to avoid that, which is why they may happen to hurt other people: lots of terfs hated self identifying queer people because it was often a label used as a safe tactic by trans people to avoid outing themselves as trans to a possible hostile stranger, so some terfs started going by "lesbian not queer". it would still be wrong to say that queer people are the main target of terfs, as they are targeted literally only because of their hatred of trans women in the first place. some terfs may also target bi women because they think they are impure or traitors to political lesbians, but then again there's plenty of bi terfs. like there's plenty of cishet terfs. or transmasc terfs. because the only thing that unites all terfs is their shared hatred of trans women and their will to exclude them from feminism.

now, knowing how these people think and operate, you'd be safe to assume that a bigot is very seldom only bigoted in one way, which is why it is not at all surprising that terfs are most of the time racist, ableist, fatphobic, and whatnot. because they centered their whole movement and manifesto about excluding trans women they had to come up with ways to differentiate cis women from them, by giving obsolete, misogynistic and racists definitions, that are shared by whom? you guessed it, mostly fascists and white supremacist men who share their exact beliefs. terfs have always partnered with men, right-wing, fascist, white supremacist men. their husbands, their boyfriends, brothers, coworkers. they loved them because they shared their hatred for trans women (because cishet men also live in constant fear of being "deceived" by trans women, so of course they got along very well with terfs), and helped them kill them, and still do nowadays. terfs still love men when they help them in their transmisogynistic crusade, whether they're cis or trans, because we also can't ignore the hoardes of transmasc terfs. it is written literally nowhere that terfs have to target men, because technically they have no reason to. men dont want to get into womens sports teams or to be included in feminism, it's trans women who are asking for that kinda recognition, which terfs want to deny at all costs.

now since we've cleared up that terfs are violent bigots in general it is no surprise that they will harm other people. women of colour or jewish women first of all after trans women (trans woc / trans jewish women in particular) because they dont conform to their cissexist whitecentric standards, and they target them too with misdirected transmisogyny. men of colour too, because they will see them as predators. and trans men, because they see us as traitors who betrayed our sisters by joining the side of trans women, who brainwashed us with their trans ideology and whatnot. still, their transmisogyny is at the root. and that doesn't mean they aren't capable of harming us, it means we aren't their main target.

Edit. just clarifying that i'm a tme person so this is just me explaining what i know about terfs in the most objective way i can, based on their history and the testimony of multiple trans women. if any trans woman or transfem person wants to add on this feel absolutely free to do so, as it is never in my intention to act as an autority on something that i know doesn't affect me.

A few months ago, I noticed a lot of black and brown community members engaging in discussions about queer athletes, specifically transgender swimmers and runners. At best, many commentators were trying to mask their [transphobic] discomfort behind ugly feminism and gendered separatism . . . at worse, some individuals doubled down on segregationist rhetoric that came right out of the Jim & Jane Crow Handbook 🤦🏾‍♀️

This "public discourse" was NOT about creating safe environments for young folks (folx) to play sports. This "national conversation" was NOT about "respecting" women atheletes. This antiqueer backlash was about reinforcing the rigid, colonized gender norms of imperialism and the ecosystem of white supremacy. While there is a MUCH larger discussion to be held about the intersectional role empire-building and race play in cultivating environmental racism, the commodification of women and wombs, rugged individualism, the spectacule of non-white existence, and ugly feminism, we will save that deep dive for another summer's day. Whether you embrace queerness as an interwoven, intergalactic landscape of identities and lived experiences that transcend the Global North's [predominantly whitecentric and capitalist] LGBTQ+ Movement or you are still working your way through chapter one of "How to be Antiracist," keep in mind that:

Queerness is an ancestral practice that saturated our pre-colonial continents and cultures.

Queerness was a tool of resistance and reclamation against European settler-colonialism and slavery.

Queerness centers our indigenous and diaspora histories, starlore, and memories, using these collected fragments of our multicolored human condition as tools to dismantle the master's house.

The past, the present, and the future is queer!💫

I keep getting people on my 'Leaving Duke out as a Batkid is inherently antiblack' posts yet reblogging a particular piece from this artist so lemme say it outright cause y'all's is stupid:I am talking about the stuff they draw and if you wanna support racists so bad,at least have the decency to do it with ones who can actually draw instead of making all their male characters look like Tim Burton characters if they weren't horror types and instead just ghastly ass men and boys

Try to open the link by copying it to the search bar since tumblr doesn't view this as a full link.

Anyways, this is a post on cultural appropriation, but the last part is particularly something I wanted to mention. People were fuming over Katy Perry's geisha concert (even though it's actually quite respectful to Japan, the only problem is she wore a Chinese dress rather than a kimono), yet nobody has a problem with this Bjork getup, (if you can't see it search Bjork kimono) which frankly looks MUCH MORE OFFENSIVE AND CARICATURE-LIKE, she's literally portraying Asians as aliens and throwing African neck rings in there, and doesn't have anything to do with any of her songs, it's justa picture on her album. If more people knew she was a white Icelandic woman who simply is Asian passing, they'd be mad. And honestly it looks worse than KP and is more offensive to Japanese people.

Also off topic kinda, but people always complain about "whitecentric" and "white majority" in media and lose their shit when they DARE TO NOT HAVE A POC EVEN WHEN IT'S NOT ACTUALLY MANDATORY OR THERE'S NOTHING DEMANDING IT, yet they never complain about foreign POC countries not being diverse enough or any accusations of "majority". Since we're talking about Japan, you never see people whine about "Japanese privilege" or lack of diversity in Japanese media. Gee, I wonder why it's only bad when it's the WEST. When it's North America, Europe, and Australia.

I guess it's because people like this abdolutely LOVE to hate on the West.

I’ve seen people call Broadway Jake, PLAYED BY AN ACTUAL GAY MAN, the “token straight BMC character” but then say two River Jake is queer. I don’t see either version of Jake as straight but I do find it weird that it wasn’t until Jake was played by a black man more people were like “richjake is actually TOXIC”

HELLO THEY DID WHAT????

i keep away from the wider fandom bc like. jesus christ yall scare me but they did HUH???

theres no way jake is straight in any interpretation

just say your version of queer people is whitecentric as if queer people of colour didnt give u like all ur rights

if u want a token straight character use chloe valentine

[knuckls]

some horror media made outside of the typical whitecentric persepctive is better imo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

it's truly remarkable how many people open their mouths, Trump's cartoon comes out, and they're pleased in 'themselves' because the only thing that pleases the infected is doing the master's work. They don't know they're doing the master's work, though. When cartoon snot runs out their nose for him, they think it's their snot, even though it's just the sign of a predictable, tired infection.

I just don't get this -- this desire to be totally cucked and have no original ideas. I guess it comes from this desire to 'win' and this thought that Trump is a 'winner' and not knowing that one is just being a cuck as one tries to 'win' on 'one's own terms' but the only terms they're operating on is Trump's playground cartoon smirk and scowl and snort wild west.

All you can really do with these zombies, since you can't cure them (only the era of Trump passing and a new politician -- these people are 'the governerned' in every sense of the word) will force them to evolve) is to prod them to be other than Trump and see if you can ever get so much as a squiggle out of them that isn't infected with Trump's modus operandi. For they are in a boat with a 100 million other typical sacks of Wonderbread who adhere to the same ways, and by figuring out how one zombie acts, you figure out how they all act. Would it be more interesting if zombies had a bit of originality to em, sure, but they don't. I mean sometimes you find one in a Hawaiian shirt or a winter parka, but that's just dressing on what they are... these people never even learned how to clothe themselves in an interesting or original manner that steps outside of any conservative box.

You just gotta look out the window and wave your hand if you're bored and a zombie will materialise to keep up its desire to attack you. That's the American dream's way. Green Day really had it right in their recent video, tho they were hardly the first to make this observation.

None of em know they're zombies though. Not a single one. I sure do, in fact it's quite frustrating to see such weakness, such undead relentlessness, and such fearfulness when it comes to thought and creative spirit. A zombie isn't fearful to keep up the fight and keep up the message of Killer Trump tho... they do it so frequently and with such repetition that the zombie apocalypse just bores you.

In fact they're more at risk of boring you to death than actually winning at you if you're strong enough.

I often just stick boredom out the room at zombies and wave the Trump mirror at em because they're so boring that they deserve it. Plus it never gets old, holding up the mirror to what they are and the zombie is too dead to see themselves...they can't spot their reflection so they just keep attacking you. They have no clue they're a zombie. This is sort of a prank that never stops working, for a zombie will never have the brains to see themselves in a mirror.

They do love themselves tho and they do want your brains in their mouths. A zombie is unapologetic, lazy, uncreative, heteronormative, whitecentric, closed-minded and wants to eat you. A zombie could never be any of the opposite traits...

I mean imagine a zombie being apologetic, motivated, creative, homonormative, minoritycentric, open-minded and doesn't want to eat you.

Impossible, right? impossible to picture true zombie having even one of those qualities.

So they are definitely zombies.

I feel like that's my main risk with em... they're so fucking boring with their 'kill u' and Trump moans that it's just depressing living in a zombie world... same shit every day, they never deviate from their boring as fuck, typically far-gone-for-the-American-Way blather.

Make no mistake, they're also Trump's cucks and Bugs Bunnies and Wonderbread sacks spoiled by overly supportive nuclear families, generally, but they all march to the dull zombie drum which Trump currently controls

And they're certainly not Bugs Bunnies in the sense that they're going to crossdress, like any good conservative wouldn't (it scares them to think of acting that way... they're quite easily scared)

They're certainly not Trump in the sense that they're going to amass massive amounts of wealth and property

They're just kinda the cucks of cucks mostly

It's dull and the mark they leave on the world is the din of the master's way and it is such a predictable, compliant snooze that i cannot even.

The cucks of the American Way and its current form just happens to be a lot of Trump and Bugs going into what makes up

The American Zombie

[zinogirl]

Fast food anon again

Totally unrelated, but that reblog you did about black trans people is so fuckin true, especially for trans native American peeps, like myself

You either get idiots that can only see things based upon the whitecentric view point of femininity/masculinity, or you get idiots that have never been on a res talking about how you're "two spirit"

All that to say "suck it nerds, I'm a trans butch lesbian that ain't white, you can go fuck yourself if you got a problem with that"

[mehrunnez]

my personal opinion is that the kids online who talk about how punk is about being kind etc have never been involved with the punk scene irl both because a) punk is about smelling like piss beer and sweat 2) do you have any idea how hetero/cis/whitecentric punk is these days what are you talking about 3) even in an ideal case scenario punk is about being angry actually
