my friend in another space wrote abt the tactics that ppl use in SM spaces to get rid of Blk women in particular off the platforms they actively create (and that others then benefit)

and if they remove ppl en masse, then its easy for them to say 'oh its not a problem about racism, antiblackness or misogyny, its a clear problem with those ppl over there'

then rinse wash repeat

which makes sense to me when i consider W.L is still abt but PV isn't.

@CaribenxMarciaX They don't realize that their prime justification ("They are too drama-heavy! Waah!") is a product of white privilege leading them to be extremely averse to confrontation or even hard talks about their own invisible biases against BIPOC folks.

Apparently confronting people is drama. Which is pretty sad, because if they actually addressed the problems instead of going around this fucking tirade about how they're right and that the people upset about them are all haters, they wouldn't be having this problem in the first place.

This is one of the biggest bugbears I have in any white-owned and operated spaces. They would rather sweep problems under the rug than confront them directly, and I keep getting betrayed by people who I thought I could trust treating me like a hot potato to get rid of because I have problems with their most beloved, and I am sick of it.
