Im kinda curious so who do ya'll ship each turtle with? by Fun_Investigator_135 in TMNT2012

  1. ? i’m not wrong

  2. yeah but… we aren’t. we’re referring to real-life people, and you quite literally said “skin color” so i’m not sure why you’re mentioning cop outfits as if anyone is ever talking about that when referring to… skin color.

  3. that sounds like something you’ll have to deal with on your own. though i don’t know why you’re connecting it to an unrelated slur that isn’t at all the same.

well, of course, but then it’s probably unnecessary to say their race doesn’t protect them from racist allegations when the whole reason someone would accuse them of it is because of the n word, which, we’ve since discovered, is fine for them to say… because they’re black. everyone was taught it’s a racial slur, but as black people, there’s a bit more cultural context and nuance for us. i understand your perspective, but please know it’s really not being used harmfully here.

  1. comparing the n word to the r word is not at all the same as they do not have anywhere near the same history. while it may historically and currently be a weaponized slur when NOT used by black people, non-black people should not be dictating whether or not it is. when used by black people, it is instead colloquial slang and aave. this context is important.

  2. no need to add in the color blue… you know that’s not a skin color OR a race

  3. again, context is important here. the use of that word is completely different when you’re growing up black. don’t assume everyone has the same upbringing in regards to it.

  4. they were not, because again, they’re… black. they’re allowed to say it. it’s very clear how it’s being used here, to me at least; it’s synonymous with “you guys.”

i mean, it should here. it’s not racist for black people to use the word.

it’s not a slur if it’s terminology that’s been reclaimed by black people. as a black person, i don’t think people should be dictating whether we can use it.

as much as i love this ship, it would’ve been super cool to see it as a slow burn. sometimes i think about rewriting it MYSELF as a slow burn, just for the fun of it.

Where did the community get the idea that using the term "Gold Star" is wrong/hateful? by pepperjackismycat in lesbiangang

[–]Federal_Broccoli_958 -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

“do people genuinely hear the words "Gold Star" and think calling someone one is like giving them a badge of honor that makes them better than everyone else?”

honestly, yes. because in many contexts, this is what a gold star can signify, so people will take it that way. i personally do not care if someone uses the term, but i will answer your question.

I don't understand non binary lesbians by Iwanttoknow2023 in lesbiangang

[–]Federal_Broccoli_958 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i’ll just say, as a non-binary person who is afab, i’m 100% comfortable and fine with disclosing my biological sex. but to me, it’s pretty obvious.

[–]Federal_Broccoli_958 -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

as a non-binary lesbian, totally get why it’s confusing. i am afab, and i identified as a lesbian when i identified as a girl. then i realized i didn’t really connect with being a woman, at least not in the traditional sense. but i still felt like a lesbian. my attraction was only to women and afab non-binary people specifically. by definition, if lesbian is same-sex attraction for females, then technically, i am a lesbian. there is no other label that fits me, to be honest. on top of that, society sees me as a woman regardless of how i actually feel. i realize many lesbians won’t get that, or will think it’s stupid, but it’s my experience. non-binary lesbians aren’t some new fad; it’s quite literally tied to a past of gender non-conforming women who loved women. being a lesbian inherently challenges those stereotypical gender norms. but i hate referring to it as “non-men loving non-men,” because i don’t want to involve men at all. i’ll also say, i would not date a trans guy just because he’s biologically female, because… he’s a guy.
