I Love Memetic Communication When It Gets To The Point Of Being Incomprehensible Because Can You Imagine

I love memetic communication when it gets to the point of being incomprehensible because can you imagine showing someone this picture

And asking them what Greek god it represents

White Boy

I don’t care when someone calls me a white boy.

I am pale and male, so calling me a white boy is purely descriptive. Even if someone intends it as an insult, I don’t care.

Go ahead and call me a pasty-ass cracker, I don’t give a fuck. I truly am a pasty-ass cracker, so why should I find that insulting?

None of this inspires an ethnic identity in me. It doesn’t incite me to see my skin color as anything other than a quaint accident of birth, rather than as something that holds any inherent meaning or value.

But someone calling a fictional character like the loathsome Dung Eater a “white boy kinnie” absolutely means to equate him with all white men. Absolutely means that all white men are monsters who must be exterminated.

They can say it’s a joke, but that’s only because they find the idea amusing, not because they consider it ridiculous.

I want a world of peace where pigmentation is a funny accident and a source of practical description, and not some kind of inherent “team colors” in an ethnic conflict.

But there’s no faster way to inspire an ethnic identity in white people than to tell them there are people in the world who hate them for the accident of birth that made them pale of skin.

The Neo-Nazis love when these bigots do that. It makes their recruitment efforts so much easier when you prove them right about white people needing to band together against everyone else.

In the middle of watching this video and wanted to share. While the video is focused on a specific novel, the issues and advice given is general with lots of examples from popular media. It also has a focus on prose and narrative, one of the more difficult parts of writing both in execution and find assistance with.

Maybe myopic could work.

LMAOOOOO

you heard it here ladies, terfs are so powerful that they traveled back to the 19th century and made sure that everyone used queer when referring to homosexuals so they could exclude enbys 300 years later 🥴
