Troubletones(with Tina!!!) having trouble breathing lol.
I seriously don't get the whole "racism" claim that follows headdresses.
How does This looks cool, I’m going to wear it translate to These people are inherently beneath my people?
Exactly. Honestly they’re probably not even considering socio-political implications…they just think it looks pretty.
Right. Yes. This.
And somehow, from the mere bare fact that someone doesn’t think a culture is actually worthy of consideration and then doesn’t listen when people of that culture try to tell them something about it, we conclude that there’s something racist going on.
Honestly, saying that’s “appropriation” and “racism” is like saying that water is somehow “wet” just because it’s a liquid. Where do people get the nerve? It’s like my mother always said: if it looks like a duck and it sounds like a duck, where do you get off saying it’s a duck? It probably intended to be an aardvark.
I’m proposing to everybody for this brilliant display of satire.

Glee Fic: Makin' Believe (Samcedes, PG)
This one…was a doozy because my “bright” idea to combine the two started kickin’ my booty. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy and please forgive any lingering errors.

The worst decision Sam Evans had ever made in his eighty-five years of living was to be a white man. Mary Evans couldn’t have children and Dwight Evans couldn’t stay away from Gertrude Freeman; so when the Evans family maid had born a blond child with green eyes and pale skin, the Evanses had given her a stipend that could more than support her other two boys by a dead husband so long as she kept her mouth shut and never looked upon Samson Evans without all the proper deference a colored person would show a white one.
You can’t have it both ways - you can’t say a tv show/movie/book, etc has changed your life then get annoyed/upset/”offended” when others critique the source about how it’s lacking in addressing -isms that may not directly pertain to you in fandom discourse. Perhaps those critiquing it want to be “life-changing” for them as well, and not merely an affirmation of -isms they deal with in everyday life. And if your ability to “have fun” hinges on folk not being able to address/critique those shortcomings (whether regarding the source or its fandom), then you need to have a seat and do some serious reflecting.
whether you like my vulgar avatar!commentary or not, we all know everybody wants that avatar dick
