Remember when you first came on tumblr and started talking about racism? But you didn’t want to piss off the white people so you just vaguely used “people” and “racists” to talk about them. And you stayed on tumblr longer, saw your friends get harassed by white folks, saw people you liked and followed get rape threats and death threats...

Equestria Daily really did a shitty job with their April Fools day ‘joke’. If you don’t recall, they took some fanworks from artists without permission and made a mockery out of them.
The day before April Fools they did this post and the next day they joked about customized ponies. Their …

I’m trying to compile a list of feminists that stand at the forefront of the movement but only perpetuate more harmful stereotypes and erase intersectionality.
But as you can imagine… google does a terrible job at providing me with the type of critiques I’m looking for. So I figured I might as…

Reblogging this again because I still haven’t heard a peep out of the white folks who jumped down my damn throat earlier today about this. Where the fuck are you people when shit like this goes down? Huh? Why so quiet now? Y’all were quick to jump on a post by a PoC detailing the things they…

Strangely enough, I rarely hear people protest about open displays of affection from straight couples. It happens here and there, but so much of this is disproportionately aimed with reference to a gay couple.
I’m rarely convinced that you’re not homophobes.

Dear ifyouspeakmynameivanish, I have no idea how I stumbled on your blog, but I want to thank you for the time you’ve spent hating me and my blog - it doesn’t prove my point or anything.
