it’s genuinely fucking abhorrent that this site, priding itself on its inclusivity, is currently having a discussion as to whether orientalism is bad. genuinely what the fuck is wrong with some of you. i’ve been fortunate enough to not encounter many in the wild but it’s genuinely wild seeing ppl type out entire paragraphs that amount to “but that’s my emotional support racist stereotype”. like holy shit. do fucking better
It's almost like this is the natural end result when you build your entire personality and community around conflict avoidence. This is the only place uncritical white comfort can lead y'all!
