Experience Tumblr like never before
there isn’t much i can add, but i will say that we are navigating online spaces that are becoming increasingly anti-black. the internet has emboldened people with a degree of anonymity on par with a klan hood. people do not take anti-black racism seriously at all, and antagonize us with implications of racism, just to feign ignorance when we point it out. know things like this do not come out of nowhere.
it starts with supporting accounts that have been exposed time and time again for being racist.
it starts with white-washing premades and then accusing poc simmers of trying to “police gameplay” when they speak up about it.
you cannot ignore small transgressions and then be shocked that we have created a space in which people feel comfortable using slurs unprovoked.
your anger is good. and needed at times. but what’s more impactful is boosting black simmers. please listen and reblog.
