are you white, by chance? i find that there’s a strong correlation between not understanding and caucasity - as a middle-aged white man myself, it was a blind spot for me, at least.

but also there’s a shitload of american culture that’s downright vicious to people who aren’t white, so having a community that shared something (in this case, skin colour vis-a-vis oppressive history/current events) is a powerful draw that i absolutely understand.

edit: the only people i see celebrating “white” are reactionary racists who seem to be able to not be able to tolerate others enjoying their skin colour or culture or whatever they enjoy.

i had forgotten all about Alloy and…was it Lara Croft?…and people “correcting” their appearances, good point!

i’m pretty sure the subtext of “woke” is “there are women and non-white people here”

same with “dei,” i suppose - all goes back to not liking women and poc 🙃

i’m guessing it’s because the link was posted with no context, no opinion, no nothing.

perhaps if op explains what the link goes to and why it’s a good thing, people might click it and actually engage?

i didn’t downvote, but i do understand the sentiment!
