Hey fellow white people
If you're going to tone-police POC for talking about their own damn lives, have the courtesy to CW your remarks. "Privileged-ass mouthing off" would be appropriate, for example.

re: Fedi Meta
This is still relevant. Until the owners of the following named instances come out and apologize for the damage and hurt they caused and enabled, they don't deserve an inch of trust from me.

I guess if you want my overall take as a former chud on the whole situation, the actions of Myasstodon, Elekk and Monads mirror that of the abusive patterns of behaviour that Gamergate took part in that drove women and PoC out of gaming.
To wit, the insistence that they, the abusers, are a minority while the victims speaking up are white is no different to NotYourShield being weaponized to drive a wedge in vulnerable communities. All it is is a distraction from the abuse that happened
Thanks, yt Canadian with a PhD for telling me how to be Hawaiian and telling non-white people we're liars. Have fun in your imperial settler colony doing ongoing genocide against #indigenous people. #MMIW
Indigenous people, POC are entertainment. Traumaflix for most white people.
And then they have an existential crisis when they realize everything they have is built on our exploitation and annihilation and run away when it gets too real.
Then some yt person inevitably says, "Oh, hearing about this is too much for me! Please think of my feelings!" Oh, was consuming the 'content' of my life 'hard' for you? Try fucking LIVING genocide, asshole! Oh that's right, you can't. Cause you're a colonizer benefiting from my death.
ok time to try out this dang thing
I would like to address the idea that "food companies have scientists whose whole job is perfecting the sweet/salty/fat flavors to make their products ADDICTIVE."
I want to know who really thinks it takes a 4-year degree to figure it out that it's awesome to fry potatoes
Tags on bandcamp are for both topics and genres. Assume a tag is a genre, and you can suppose that it means the band makes music in that genre. So apply the tag to the band, too.
But if the tag isn’t a genre (which you’d have no way of knowing without context), you’ve just created a context collapse. Which is, incidentally, the alt-right’s favorite tool for muddying the waters.
Writing songs about chocolate doesn’t make the band made of chocolate.
I can also see exactly the chain of events that would cause this to happen. The idea came from a good place, but it led to a horrible chain of events with horrible implications that had the opposite effect from the intentions.
Removing alt-right bands is a good thing! But they need to actually be alt-right!
Also I’m grateful to know someone at bandcamp who was able to get this fixed so quickly. Most people don’t have that luxury. Especially among the sorts of people who would run into this specific issue. I hope this can be fixed categorically, because I’m sure I’m not the only one to be affected this way.
This is why content moderation needs to be done by humans, not by algorithms, and why those moderation decisions need to be validated and continuously verified.
Don’t destroy someone’s livelihood because you think you’re doing the right thing without making sure!
Basically I had a song that was tagged as “alt-right” because it was critical of Trump and his followers. This led to my entire account being tagged as “alt-right” and therefore delisted as being a nazi.
Which is REALLY FUCKING IRONIC on many axes.
Since when do alt-right people self-describe as that, anyway?
This issue has been fixed thanks to a very helpful friend who works at bandcamp and was able to escalate the issue. It turns out that one of my songs was tagged with a thing that, out of context, flagged my account as questionable, and I had no way of knowing this or being warned that it’d happen.
“Content moderation gone wrong.” They’re going to figure out how to make it up to me and also hopefully this leads to a process change.
