re: professional writers implementing the n slur in the story, what's the nuance between okay and terrible? though i get it wouldn't go above okay...

First, don't jump on Vinca or anon, because they made interesting points and I want to continue this portion of the conversation!

So there's a key difference here, like y'all are saying: the first question asked how I would feel if a white author wrote Black characters saying the n word to each other. That's a dynamic that is intracommunal, that I would not trust amateur and many professional white writers to do, not at all.

To put it bluntly: what you're asking about here is the hard "-er". There is a difference in usage (not that nonblack people should be using either term!)

When someone is using the hard "-er", there's no ambiguity about it. It's being used as a slur, point blank. You understand as the viewer/reader that they're being violently racist. It's supposed to elicit a negative response. So Vinca, when you mentioned how it upset you that a white NPC threw that word in GTA at a Black character, you were supposed to be mad! You were supposed to turn around and be like "who the fuck are you talking to??" (I hope you beat their ass, it's GTA for God's sake. And the new game's in Florida? It'd be weird if it weren't lmao)

There's a lot of professionally made, historical media where it's used- 12 Years A Slave comes to mind most viscerally. Can't really make a movie based off an autobiography of a Black man (Solomon Northup) who experienced/witnessed slavery, r*pe, and the human trafficking and mutilation of Black bodies without mentioning the racism of those perpetuating it. It was an integral part of such a violating experience, part of the dehumanization.

So if you're writing something with racists, it wouldn't be "wrong" per se. White people can write about White racists. That being said, you shouldn't have to let the whole word come out to drive home the severity. Have some tact! You're going to look quite sus if I see the hard "-er" all over your work, especially if nothing else in your writing (or about you as an author tbh) suggests you understand antiblack racism outside of "they used a slur!"

The writing should drive home just how deeply in danger your Black character is, and how they're feeling- racist white people rarely just say that word suddenly. Their behavior is gonna indicate that a Black person is in danger, often long before that word drops. I've walked into rooms before and clocked the threat in seconds. And while the use of the slur is very much White history too... I'm not sure that a white author can depict the response of a Black character without having Black peers and having done their research and understanding more than just "they were racist!" Think about your Black readers- they're going to certainly feel some type of way seeing it! If Black readers feel like it wasn't handled with care or understanding for the character or them.... 😬😬😬😬

In summary, If they're not... Aware enough or educated enough on antiblack racism and how we have to navigate these situations- and trust, it will reveal itself in the writing- no, I do not think white authors should be wielding such a strong word to drive home their point.

I literally can't stand another second with this many rich white people, it's driving me mad.

They're like it's so hard owning a house in Massachusetts but then trying to avoid taxes in Massachusetts by spending more time in our house in the Florida Keys, but omg it's so expensive keeping our yacht maintained down there, and we're in debt because we put tooooo much money into our airbnb-

like I can't.

what the fuck am I supposed to say to that?

am I supposed to start weeping from the inhumanity of it all?

your poor fucking yacht and your poor fucking taxes and your poor fucking apartment in Paris and your lonely condo in Morocco.

I'm gonna start gnawing my arms off. I need to talk to a broke ass bitch right now because I explode.

#also im the only poc here this is so uncomfortable like #i cant look at these people without feeling like we're a different species

I was reading about upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) which is apparently a Florida native plant and was wondering if you’ve ever encountered it in the wild before? It seems like there’s also still a law in place from the early 1900s that technically criminalizes growing it because they attracted boll weevils that threatened the commercial cotton industry. Pretty depressing the extents to which these plants were purposely destroyed as well… But anyways I’m just searching for as much info as I can get on them!

okay so i fear im incredibly late with receiving this and i am sorry. the good news is that i think that i obtained some cotton some time after you apparently sent me this ask (shhhhh). i have never seen it in the wild, but apparently the ones i have are wild types, but i wont know until they grow up more. some lady grew them to sell as a fundraiser but then read about them and decided selling was a bad idea and jst handed some off to me for free, assuming maybe its not illegal for me to possess as long as im not producing or selling any? im choosing to trust her judgement dont post about your illegal activities online but i seriously dont think anyone will enforce this considering there is apparently no longer any boll weevils OR cotton industry anywhere near me! but the law remains! its pretty fucked up. the lady who gave them to me was repeatedly expressing her bafflement that they are native, ENDANGERED, and illegal to grow for outdated reasons!

a friend of mine said he saw some in the everglades, but the flowers didn't look quite right so its possible they might be feral descendants of crops

EDIT: additional commentary in replies!

"The Don't Say Gay Law has been cut down to size in more ways than this.

- LGBTQ+ students and staff may now be protected by anti-bullying and anti-discrimination measures

- Libraries are free to restock LGBTQ+ books

- LGBTQ+ topics may be discussed freely

GO CRY IN A CORNER RON

Florida teachers can discuss sexual orientation and gender ID under ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill settlement

KOSA Got Passed In Florida And Will Take Effect in January 2025

"The Florida governor, Ron DeSantis, has signed a law that has given his state one of the US’s most restrictive social media bans for minors, though it must still withstand expected legal challenges.

Once it takes effect, the bill signed on Monday bans social media accounts for children under 14 and require parental permission for 14- and 15-year-olds." - The Guardian
