Because gothel being a anti-Romani stereotype is so much better than her being a antisemitic stereotype🤡🤡🤡. I swear to god the fans of this movie deserved to be bullied in school for being this stupid. They’re as stupid as Wendy stans from the mcu.
sometimes i stay on tumblr too long and forget that IRL people are still Very racist and I can’t just say things like “g*psy is a slur against the heavily discriminated against Romani people.” Without getting treated like I’m insane.
anyway with phantom liberty probably being shown off at sgf's xbox showcase later today im just curious when we'll find out if this shit made the final cut
“No one knows where it is
We know little but it is known”
—Mak Dizdar
There is one blue river we must cross. I read that in translation. I wondered if it was the Blue Danube. Perhaps it was the Volga, or the Vardar we walked beside in Skopje, among the Roman ruins, where I taught, where we gave the gypsy boy what we had every day so he could buy his tiny sister the pastry and dance his little dance. The joy we felt when his mother returned that winter and we saw her tussle his hair and he was able to go back to doing what older brothers are due. Or the Mississippi in Saint Louis where John was nearly shot trying to score, the bullet casing rang against the dark, or was it the Ohio where old Tony lost his job when the mill closed, he left to no one knows where the river takes us, the same with Timmy and the Allegheny, or was it the Susquehanna, or the Merrimack, alongside the closed down red brick mills, where we drank, where me and my friends would sit beside talking about leaving. Until we did, until we disappeared from that life and into another no one knows where it is. We know little but it is known. Or did I misread those words that were written decades ago in another language, in a country that no longer exists, was it not a blue river but did it say, There is one blue cross we must climb, like the one that rose high on the mountain above that city from another life, or the one we own inside our chests. How we make the sign when we touch our foreheads and our hearts, beyond foreboding beyond doubt, when we kneel and pray, we bow our faces to the dirt of our dead and offer the sky the nape of our blue veined necks.

can americans not invade the romani tag with their bs takes? i try to read something from romani bloggers and actually get myself educated, and instead i have read how you're calling yourself g*ps* 'as in the roaming person sense, not as in the slur' and the merits of stereotypes in comics (who should chill with romani people by the way, it's weird that it happened twice)
I don’t know with this term G*spy. It’s tricky. Either it be a slur to some because of a google search yet google isn’t always a reliable source of info and not a slur to others, everyone has a opinion on this. But to bash someone over a few characters? When In fact this blog has more than just g*spy characters under their muse page, fyi. They have a variety of characters to choose from. There isnt any need to send hate to a rp blog that is just here to write with everyone that wants to write with them.
this is the last ask we’ll be answering on this. for one, no one is sending hate. if that rp is getting any, it didn’t come from us, as we have better things to do. for another, i have seen multiple posts across multiple platforms of people who the slur affects telling others not to use it. if some people in a community don’t like people outside of a community using their slur, you should not be using it, no matter what. - x
