absolutely true

and it’s not just Americans i definitely see it w people here too, especially younger and sorry to say but more sheltered youth, people who won’t and haven’t ever done community work.
People find consuming media a work of activism in which when you consume the “right” product, the LGBT+ inclusive or BIPOC led show/movie you’re doing anything special. I see white people feeling superior on stan twt simply because their favorite character is a POC. it’s laughable because it’s nothing real! you’re far from making real change! and same goes for consuming “wrong” media, simply reading something from an author w questionable ideas doesn’t make you automatically agree with them, many times you NEED to read wrong books to learn why it’s wrong/inhumane/immoral.

i wholeheartedly agree with this but i feel like it really depends on the said media, obvs consuming inclusive media doesn’t make you any better, but supporting, say, J.K. Rowling’s work does real-life harm. idk if i’m making sense?

real-life harm as in giving her the funds, means, & platform to further spread her transphobic beliefs. and this is just one example.

ofc it doesn’t make them (the consumer) morally bad but the author profits from it, and those profits are spent on “charities” that make lives of the oppressed harder.

the rest, i agree.

I surely agree that we need a broader conversation of what exactly is “support” both for bad people/media/art and good people/media/art. Is it enough that I’m reading this insightful book by this Black author? Shouldn’t I apply these ideas to my real life for my “support” to mean anything? Shouldn’t I keep giving platform and uplifting indie Black voices?

On this matter
Superiority isn’t granted to you because of your interests or hobbies (or how special and rare they are).
Felling worthy because you’re into a specific subject or a fandom is both harmful to you and others who don’t take part in them.
This ‘advantage’ and ‘being different’ is a short-lived feeling considering how often people’s interests change and when we get to the core of it all people shame you for your ‘mainstream’ interests and hobbies just to show their dominance (apparently we live in the wilderness now =-) ) and for the sake of making others feel less worthy of attention.
“Superior comes from selfishness. Selfishness comes from the sensation of being separate from all around you. We call this common term ‘ego’.” You can believe that your way of thinking is ‘superior’ to others’ just because you tend to compare yourself to them all the god damn time. Judgment and fear are some of the many negative products that grow from this selfishness.
Love whatever you want however you want as long as you’re not harming anyone in any way.
And don’t y’all EVER think you’re less valuable if you like pop music or haven’t read classic literature or don’t enjoy reading poems or haven’t watched a popular show or aren’t attracted to a certain aesthetic.

از دلایلی که باید پزشکان توییتری را نابود کنیم:

چندروز پیش یک نفر رو دیدم که اسم و سن بیمار رو توی عکسی که گذاشته بود تا فخر مرتبی جداولش رو بفروشه سانسور نکرده بود، کمدی.

بعد ناامن و اینا هم نبودها، اینترنی بود که انسان‌ها در دنیای واقعی می‌شناختنش.

می‌دونید کلاً این‌که می‌آن داستان‌های بیمارهاشون رو می‌گن و اکسپوزشون می‌کنن باعث می‌شه خیلی‌ها از دکتر رفتن فراری بشن و ترس این‌ رو داشته باشن که مبادا چیزی بگن که تبدیلشون کنه به نقل و نبات محافل توییتری.

فکر کنم بدون مبالغه تعداد معلمای آیلتس از کسایی که می‌خوان واسه آیلتس کلاس برن بیشتره ات دیس پوینت
