Slutshaming women is not ok Slutshaming Alexander Hamilton is totally ok Tumblr logic

he cheated. on his wife.

he’s also been dead for several hundred years this is the funniest post ive ever read in my life

fave things about this post:

the idea that thousands of people are calling alexander hamilton a slut
calling any founding father a slut
the idea that people are SHAMING Alexander Hamilton for being Such A Slut he is being SHAMED for being such a naughty little tart, SPREADING HIS LEGS FOR EVERYONE IN CONGRESS
that this was probably prompted by people expression dissaproval for Alexander Hamilton cheating on his wife - that the OP thinks “slut shaming” and “Isnt it gross that he cheated on his wife” are the same thing
Alexander Hamilton has been dead for 210
210 slutty, slutty years
the way that this is presented in such a CHECKMATE SJWS way when they’re talking about a founding father who cheated on his wife and has been DEAD FOR 210 YEARS
the fact that the words “Slutshaming” and “Alexander Hamilton” have been used in the same sentence
i mean just apply what we’d traditionally think of as “slut shaming” to Alexander Hamilton.
His frock coat is too tight, his breaches are so short, have you SEEN how often he powders his wig??? I heard he gave Thomas Jefferson a handy behind the stables AND that he got fingered by John Hancock
i barely know who alexander hamilton is

Not that I think we should judge the quality of musicals based on trial by combat, but I’d be prepared to pay good money to see an Assassins-style light opera about the cats from Cats just fucking throwing down on the Founding Fathers.

[Description: a tweet from JoshlikeGermany reading “ppl will shit on cats but love Hamilton like rum tum tugger wouldn’t fucking destroy thomas jefferson in hand to hand combat.”]

I’m so tired of watching oblivious, white hamilton bloggers ignore and argue with Facts™:

lmm’s a non-black person with no right to claim or use n-word. he said it, uncensored, in the Hamiltome while quoting Daveed, a black man referencing a rap lyric written by another black person. it was censored in the text of the book.
hip-hop has roots in the Latinx community as well as the African-American and Caribbean communities, but he’s made millions off a predominantly black art form without telling the stories of any black people, and in some cases, actively erasing them. Cato, a black man kept in bondage by Hercules Mulligan, heavily assisted Mulligan’s intelligence work.
also, “No one else was in / The room where it happened” as if Jefferson, who “arranged the menu, the venue, the seating,” didn’t have his slaves serving whatever was consumed during the “Dinner Table Bargain”?
in the end, Hamilton continued the dangerous trend of romanticizing the founding fathers. some of these men were actual rapists, all were racists and cowards. they founded a country built on the exploitation and abuse of black people. there is nothing wrong with an interest in this historical era and even these historical figures. that is, unless you’re denying the facts of what they did and how their actions still affect millions today.
why say Hamilton in the musical is bisexual and not throw in more than a “Laurens, I like you a lot”? depending on your interpretation of surviving Hamilton-Laurens correspondence–censored by Hamilton’s son after his death–there is historical evidence for feelings on Hamilton’s side at the least.
the closest we ever get to mentioning Washington owning slaves is “turn n’ go back to plantin’ tobacco in Mount Vernon” and, in the live show, him nodding and stepping back when Eliza mentions slavery in the finale.
slavery’s used as a tool to show the goodness of Hamilton and those aligned with him. the worst example of this is when Hamilton refers to the Revolutionary Set as “a bunch of revolutionary manumission abolitionists.” Mulligan (and Burr) owned slaves. Hamilton rented them for his own purposes, allowed slave-related ads in the NY Evening Post, and bought them for immediate family like Angelica.
the Schuylers were a slave owning family. this didn’t bother Hamilton enough to court someone aside from Eliza. that, or it’s consistent with how any anti-slavery sentiment he harbored was secondary to his social station and political agendas.
Laurens was the only real abolitionist, historically, and even he opposed forced manumission out of a belief in property rights.

as a black person, I appreciate Hamilton as a piece of art that has dynamic, multi-dimensional roles meant for people of color. as a writer and fangirl, I especially love thinking about its creation closely mirrors that of fic au: identifying with a character while reading the source material, going “but what if so and so?”, and then putting one’s own spin on it.

but art, fanfiction (which is famed for the research dedicated writers do about everything but people of color) and other types of transformative works included, do not exist in a vacuum. they’re part of the real world. a world where antiblackness, American history, glorification of the Founding Fathers, the downplaying of slavery, the erasure of historical black figures, and heteronormativity are real things that hurt real people.

it amazes me sometimes that so many white people have somehow managed to remain blind to the the racial issues in hamilton?? like??

i got a lot of brains but no polish/ i gotta holler just to be heard

i shoulder ev’ry burden, ev’ry disadvantage

you keep out of trouble and you double your choices/ i’m with you, but the situation is fraught

if you talk, you’re gonna get shot

i never thought i’d live past twenty/ where i come from, some get half as many

??????like???? these are from one single song out of 46. and these aren’t even all the relevant lyrics from this song. in what world is hamilton not about poc. it’s not for everyone. is that so hard to understand?

fun fact: in the line, “you’ve got to be carefully taught, if you talk, you’re gonna get shot,” the bolded bit is directly from the musical south pacific. the song (and the musical) is about racism, specifically interracial relationships. the song is sung after the character singing it talks about how racism is a taught ideology and how no human being is born intrinsically racist.

the best part about this is that south pacific was on stage in 1949. this was a time when people seriously thought that any move to normalize or even just decriminalize interracial relationships was fucking communist propaganda. the creators of the musical fucking risked their professional careers to put this on stage, and southern lawmakers actually passed a bill against it, because according to them, “a song justifying interracial marriage was implicitly a threat to the American way of life.“

the idea that hamilton is in any way obscure, or subtle about the racial issues that it challenges is white privilege and ignorance at its fucking finest. this isn’t some tricky reference, this shit is staring you right in the face. and the fact that white people are shouting, “reverse racism!!” even given this context is astounding. and it’s at a point where you can’t even excuse it as ignorance–it’s actually straight up malicious. they know what they are doing, they know the issues at hand, and they simply don’t care. and that is what makes hamilton and its message even more important and relevant today.

Now that Hamilton cast contracts are up, many people from the original cast will be leaving. Please do not send the replacements hate. They want to be on Broadway too. They want a spotlight too. Please don’t hate them for not throwing away their shot.
