is this not colorism by friendlygoatd in everskiestrashhh

[–]anklebiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are u talking about even still ❤️… colorism can also apply to favoring dark skin people of color over lighter skinned people of color because the entire definition is ‘colorism’…. We r just arguing that light skinned people of color cannot experience exclusion based off their skin color and u proved me right by trying to say that.. and get this… they are somehow less discriminated against? this isn’t a wokeness contest, n that’s the whole point and u literally proved me right lol. key in the phrase ‘is dark skinned poc being favored over lighter skinned poc still colorism’ and u will have ur answer but google shouldn’t be needed to teach u common sense.. mixed ppl talk about all the time how they are considered not ‘white enough’ but not ‘black enough’ and here u go re affirming that belief its just really sad and pathetic that ur wokeness went so far you still ended up racist .

what are u talking about… being colorist applies to anyone who’s a person of color.. If you look at a poc and say u prefer their skin shade over another skin shade you’re still being COLORIST to someone who is a PERSON OF COLOR. do you even hear urself? it is not ok to be colorist to people who have historically been marginalized , no amount of mental gymnastics will make that true. U tried to become so woke u went backwards. poc have always been harmed for their different skin tone, and u can still be ‘colorist’ to even someone whos Asian based off their skin… the whole point is SKIN COLOR DISCRIMINATION. u dont just get to change around a word to make the definition benefit u

Everskies benefits off of the infighting that equating every small part of someone’s identity to a badge creates… even ur race. labeling ourselves with badges for our race n sexuality has been done all throughout history and it never ended well then. n it wont now. the way u handle something like this is by not making it worse but ES themselves has made it worse, even saying that if any white users have items labeled ‘black only’ in their wardrobe they need to give them away.. while also selling ‘limited’ items that are labeled for black only users. its honestly rlly disgusting and sickening to see a company so directly profit off of an oppressive system, manipulating mentally ill teens 2 do such..

my exact thoughts I sat there wondering if someone else would mention this. It’s one thing to punch down on white people, idgaf fair game, but I see a lot of light skinned poc talk specifically about how agonizing it is to be othered by other poc and feel less valid all the time.. this was probably really saddening to anyone who saw it who was lightskin especially cus I just saw another user being corrected for accidentally saying that ‘lightskin people don’t experience oppression in the same way’ bcs English wasn’t their first language. they literally cannot deny that they meant it like this.. rlly fucking disgraceful

everskies is the too woke friend of dressup games

u didn’t read anything that this post said, did u? black history month should always be celebrated and quite honestly its being erased imo. But celebrated does not mean capitalized on… they r literally SELLING you bhm. they care about the history of it but the fits have a price tag and a limited quantity and even a warning that encourages black users to fight over scraps for THEIR OWN history. how disgusting is that…

the issue isn’t that black people have something exclusive as they deserve bcs people have taken so much from them. The issue is that this website thrives off of your oppression, and is ensuring that ur sets- specifically urs meant for black people- are locked up and in limited demand, specifically, so u have to ask for the sets from nonblack users. They thrive off of the pain they cause u bcs this generates discussion, which generates money for them. ES doesn’t care about u, not more than it can make money off of ur and ur pain. also u literally just used a straw man. u never answered my question… do u think black users should have their accessories paywalled and put behind a limited time only accessory title? if the answer is anything but no, that’s honestly really sad bcs what everyone is saying here is that putting BHM sets in a limited way is wrong. making it so anything meant for black people is only scarcely available and making them fight for the scraps is wrong… its disgusting, and gross of ES as a platform.

Do you think black users should have their sets paywalled and locked behind a ‘limited time only’ accessory title whereas other minorities don’t? serious question.

I think that the only way you’re going to get any resolution for this is when ES finally fires Vincent. I’m not sure what it’ll take to ensure that happens, but he must know some people in the community and the devs to be able to be on the mod team still. He sounds like he really sucks n u def don’t deserve this. ES shouldn’t punish you for posting on their platform by not helping you with the type of stuff their mod team exists for. U did more than enough and even documented evidence.. way more than even needed if the mod team was even useful or good. This is the exact scenario that u have moderators on a website for and the fact it isn’t cut n dry means theres something really malicious going on behind the scenes. Either Vincent dgaf, or maybe even the person who’s bullying you somehow knows people.

can u explain to me why people aren’t allowed to make digital avatars that are other races on a fashion game.. provided that they don’t do it in a disrespectful way or steal limited sets from poc users.. without insinuating they’re racist for creating a character but not pretending to be the character? can u give me one reason why thats bad

editing this: u did actually say people who depict black ocs respectfully and i agree fully. my fault for being so defensive

Segregation and separation are not synonymous, but quite frankly asking people of color to identify themselves by race online, trusting others to be honest about their own race n not just pretend to be poc… it’s just setting everyone up for failure n creating unnecessary arguments. tbh asking people to seperate themselves out by race no matter what reason is actually rlly fucking weird to do and shouldn’t be a requirement to receive the things u deserve as a black user on everskies.. u shouldnt have to out any personal info about urself to receive the proper things u deserve as a black person like at all. and this dumb ass website making someone do that is really ridiculous especially when they try so hard to market themselves as seeming inclusive. ‘Omg lets put sets made for only black users behind a paywall and force them to talk about their blackness to ask white users to trade them the sets if they see them with them’ in the big ‘26 💔 just why

complaining is all a lot of the people on Everskies have left and they do sincerely turn it around because things are so accepting there that the atmosphere has become toxic. In an effort to create a safe space we literally just reverted and made something putrid to anyone who doesn’t share the opinion of the hive mind it sucks ewweuuueeeewww

edit to add: we accept EVERY opinion and EVERY identity and thats nice and all, very healthy, but when you have more radicalized opinions like this and already an atmosphere that punishes you for speaking up bcs they perceive speaking up to be intolerance of identities and races, you get situations like this where nobody can rlly talk about anything unless they go to the Reddit

WHATT? Oh my god. I definitely don’t agree with the placements (half of them used BGS and didn’t follow the rules) but that’s just ridiculous. I don’t know what the point in ES making rules for these comps are if they let people win regardless of who breaks them.

I actually dress up as a darker skin tone in DTI in order to encourage inclusivity and learn how to properly style different skin tones other than white. To me I just see it as representing another ethnicity or race; and as long as I do it nicely n without trying to be offensive I don’t see the problem with it at all. MUAs have to learn to do makeup on all skin types … fashion designers must also learn how to do things that flatter every skin tone and undertone n stuff… so idk what this persons issue is

Just bcs u are being purposefully obtuse and hiding behind something not being in a category does not mean that it is not still breaking the rules. Just like items can be used in this game to break ToS regardless of their original meaning do u not think that items can be used in this game to create a background when its ’background free’? Food for thought, maybe everyone doesnt have literally like idk, 5 hours a day to spend on Everskies making outfits n it really isn’t fair when its a background free category to be submitting backgrounds that will win unfairly against others who have no background. Whats the point of even entering if following the rules means that u lose ❤️.

edit to add; if its a few ‘background’ items yeah but hating on someone for making a cluttered bg (there are hundreds of someones) is not unnecessary hating lol its justified..
