Has anyone else noticed the weird appropriation of Yiddish for specifically anti-zionist spaces? It makes me deeply uncomfortable.

#its gross #why are you all so fucking weird about jews #why cant you be normal #these same people are like “jews are a diaspora people so thats why we learn yiddish' #without thinking or asking where the diaspora is from #because you cant have a diaspora without a point of origin..... #and then they still deny jews are indigenous to israel #so they dont care about most mizrahi jews who literally live there and have forever #but then they kind of have this weird fascination with yemeni jewish culture #and like exoticize (?) Mizrahi jews #but not if youre from israel then youre immoral and evil

the absolute fits some dc fans have if u call starfire black is insane like "wahhh shes orange shes an alien her hair was so big in the 80s bc it was the disco era" why do u care so much. i hope dc gives her more natural black hairstyles in the future just to piss u off specifically

#og post #like 🤨 why is this the hill you want to die on #also theres definitely a conversation to be had about how her history with slavery + exoticization in universe contributes to her coding #but all these ppl never wanna talk about that they just always point to her 80s hair and say well a white woman COULD have hair like that

imagine if ppl were as stiffly weird abt other translations as they are with manga titles. like it's called Die Verwandlung my ass is NOT saying "Metamorphosis" 🙄

#btw it's funny that nobody actually calls it dungeon meals. #do u actually think delicious in dungeon sounds worse or are u just exoticizing the japanese language name #^probably isnt rly that deep and like i dont care if ppl prefer meshi or meals. but dont be elitist abt it come on

Anyway as much as I do appreciate westerners taking an interest in Chinese culture it sometimes feels like my culture is just viewed as an art piece. Chinese people and culture are not artworks on display for western viewers’ pleasure. We are very real people, with very real culture, and as someone who has been overseas and removed from my culture for a good portion of my life it sometimes hurts when CN culture is just viewed as surface level “pretty” or heaven forbid “aesthetic,” when it’s so much more than that.

#like!!! hanfu & calligraphy and Chinese architecture are undeniably very pretty!!! #it’s just… we get treated with so much exoticism and orientalists #I spent so many years being called ‘exotic’ as like. a compliment. #that when I see that same kind of sentiment it makes me very uncomfy #I get that Chinese culture is foreign to westerners but it’s not always about you #there can be appreciation without orientalism #so treat Chinese fashion on the same level as western fashion #and other arts too! #hanfu is to me like corsetry and petticoats are to my fully western-raised partner #things like comparing and contrasting styles and techniques from an equal standpoint is super neat too! #and like. treating art as art is one thing but when the entire culture and even the people themselves get wrapped up into that ‘art’ #it’s a little bit messed up tbh

wip wednesday...it's me...ya boy....refusing to let people forget nick suzuki is not white lol

;;

Cole’s played with Nick for so long that he feels unbalanced when he’s on the face off against him for the first time. His dark intent eyes and the determined line of his mouth; Cole’s seen that look from right beside him for almost a decade. He never thought he’d be on the receiving end.

Nick’s skin is a warm brown against the white of the Canadian’ away jerseys, something Cole has seen hundreds of times in Montreal, ten years in, and has never been particularly taken by, but he looks warmer, here, even though they’re in Switzerland in February and it had been a long, long Montreal winter before they’d even gotten on the plane.

He didn’t get a haircut before the NHL took a break for the Olympics and Cole is suddenly desperate to know what his hair looks like now, if it’s messier under the helmet, if it tangles and curls, or if it just stands straight up. Nick’s usually pretty strict about getting a haircut, but there was a long road trip before they broke for the Olympics and the last time Cole saw Nick, his hair was growing out in ways Cole had never seen.

He looks, hmm. Dreamy is a word for it, maybe. Maybe that one Montreal gossip blog who named him Quebec’s most eligible bachelor in January had the right idea. Cole had made fun of him for weeks when he got the promoted post on Instagram but he sees the potential now, the shape of it.

Cole grins at him. Nick’s mouth doesn’t move.

“Switzerland’s beautiful in the winter,” he says. The ref is still shouting at Kirby and Trevor at the other side of the circle about how they won’t quit knocking each other around.

Nick looks at him but doesn’t say anything.

“You look better in red and blue though,” says Cole. “The white jersey, I dunno. You do better with a little color. Gonna be glad to see you out of it.”

Nick blinks.

“Maybe tonight,” says Cole.

Nick says, “fucking—Cole, are you this much of a maniac with everybody?”

They bend down. The ref puts his whistle in his mouth.

“No,” says Cole. Nick makes a face. Cole laughs. “You’re the only Canadian I’d ever cross those borders for.”

“Either pull the fuck up or fuck off, Caufield,” says Nick, but the corners of his eyes are crinkled, before he turns determined and intense again.

The ref tells them to shut up in French and drops the puck. Nick swipes it.

#it is my duty as a mixed race asian to force white fans to confront the fact that jrob nick suzuki et al are not white #always trying to balance between exoticism versus brown skin is very beautiful from a white hockey player's perspective but frankly #most of them have some deep soul-searching to do anyway #oh i just had a thought that would blow open the discourse but would also get me specifically in so much trouble #anyway tk i liked your prompt very much and i hope that someday soon i stop posting and write again #it's been a fun exercise trying to write from cole's perspective which i have never tried before #he is developing-intent flirty with one (1) man and friendly flirty with many (many) olympians #and that has been a fun balancing act #unfortunate birdcage fanfictions

srry but i cant help but think its really cute when a weird cis woman is a little enamored by trans womanhood

#a little exoticism is fiiiine

Exoticism [...] allows no cultural confrontation. There is on the one hand a culture in which qualities of dynamism, of growth, of depth can be recognized. As against this, we find characteristics, curiosities, things, never a structure.

[...] Exploitation, tortures, raids, racism, collective liquidations, rational oppression take turns at different levels in order literally to make of the native an object in the hands of the occupying nation.

— Franz Fanon, "Racism and Culture" in Toward the African Revolution, trans. Haakon Chevalier

not to make everything about racism but the reason why the first omegaverse live action series isnt talked about more on tumblr is bc it's not made by white ppl starring white ppl but instead a thai bl drama like why are we pretending it's such a huge mystery when the majority of this site is white and racist and only cares about their white faves

on that note, when will you people finally get it thru ur heads that *bo or */b/o is a slur against aboriginal people. just say omegaverse if u must talk about this

#i for one am thrilled nobody is talking abt it bc i can assure u if it gets mainstream enough you'll get even MORE racist bs #the orientalism the exoticizing the objectification of asian men etc........ like can yall just let it rest and watch in silence #ling.txt #pit babe the series

i am an island

i am an island. with coconuts and papayas. warm, soft sand where travellers rest their weary head. they will indulge in my exotic treasures. eat my fruit and drink my nectar until they've had their fill. in the morning, they will thank me for the stay, but they will always go home. i am an island.

Hey if you're white and writing smut about a black character maybe uhhhhh don't repeatedly mention how large or dark their genitals are? Maybe don't describe them as "grunting" during intercourse? Maybe don't do that?

#shut up casey #disk horse #tagging this with #rdr2 #bc this is about a charthur fic i read last night #and this fandom STILL has a problem with the exoticization and fetishization of Charles :/ #and Javier too but I haven't seen many examples taking it to the extreme that Charles gets #like. if you're making an effort to say how big charles' penis is but leave arthur's unmentioned... #thats suspicious to me! #im not saying u cant make charles a top or a dom just fucking think about how you're writing him for more than 2 seconds
