I need a complete list of your traumas, plus a genealogy going back at last five generations indicating the racial origins of all of your ancestors, plus essays on your personal relationships to religion, ethnicity, gender and sexuality before I can determine whether you're allowed to create this art. Until the paperwork is submitted, I'm just going to put you down as "Provisionally Problematic and Probably Appropriative". Please enjoy your complementary harassment while waiting for a judgement.
Processing times are currently about five years. Please Remain Patient.
"Ooh, I'm sorry; your ancestors' racial origins need to be listed in modern American terminology. Please resubmit. Until then, I'm downgrading your status to 'Tried to Make Excuses Rather Than Just APOLOGIZE'"
I'm sorry, that apology has been judged Insincere. What do you mean "why"? You didn't even address the substance of your wrongdoing. "What wrongdoing"? Sir, I cannot help you if you're going to play such games. Please go to the end of the line. NEXT!
Ah, I see that you've completed your trauma essays. Capital. Please report to those stocks over there while the Bailiff reads them out to the mob with customary scorn and ridicule. NEXT!
Right; so our review shows that you actually are a member of the marginalised community to which this art pertains. I therefore sentence you to hear people say: "You don't speak for ALL members of this community!" for the rest of your natural life.
It really is quite simple, I don't know why you're making this so complicated. Just confess your sins, promise to do better and ask for absolution--No, it has absolutely nothing to do with Catholicism, what are you talking about? And actually, a great many of the people here have Catholics amongst their oppressor classes, so it's pretty problematic for you to draw that parallel--Well! There's simply no call for that kind of language! Back of the fucking line! NEXT!
I literally had someone once tell me not to "compare the religions of Indigenous cultures to Christianity jfc" because I said that the traditional Cherokee, Blackfoot, and Cree religions are monotheistic like Christianity, islam, Judaism, and Zoroastrianism (among others).
Plot twist: I'm Indigenous.
I also had someone a few years ago on another blog freak tf out because I commented on this picture
saying
Plus even if it weren’t an awful idea due to the cactus to the face issue, this would only work in places with no winter. Either that or you’d have to keep your car idling constantly so the cactuses don’t die when it’s -40.
And some rando got all huffy about me saying that some places have no winter:
uh…. winter =/= - 40. brazil has winters and the lowest it goes is a bit bellow zero and only in very specific places. MANY places have winters that don’t go near 0 degrees. i mean yea cactus to the face is still a shitty idea but your comment is kinda close minded.
Plot twist: I'm a Brazilian-Canadian immigrant and saying that some countries have "no winter" or "fake winter" is a colloquial way that Canadian immigrants from hot places jokingly refer to places that don't get snowfall and/or weather below zero.
I've also been angrily told by someone to take down the icon for my blog about Brazil because the icon features half the flag of Brazil and half the flag of Canada and if I'm going to "claim" to be Brazilian I should at least commit to the lie.
Plot twist: As I've said, I'm Brazilian-Canadian.
I often get accused of being a liar and a fake because in some posts I talk about being Brazilian and in others I say I'm Canadian. I've even made a meme for when that happens since it happens so often:
