maladictive:

a few valid reasons to criticize social justice on tumblr

  • huge sex-positivity focus even tho that movement is harmful to a number of marginalized people
  • no effort to fix those issues at all
  • no collective effort to remove ableist terms from our vocabularies.
  • a huge american focus;
  • OR issues outside of america in nonwhite countries are given the time of day but are completely covered in a white savior mentality
  • white ppl apologizing all over the place. that helps no one.
  • famous white dude said it too and now tumblr accepts this point that has been reiterated so often it is a dry barren landscape
  • aromantic/asexual erasure
  • non black sj bloggers appropriating aave
  • essentially no queer spaces free of islamophobia or bigotry for queer muslims
  • ‘muslim issues’ are narrowed down to ‘homophobia’ and ‘israel/palestine’ (let me list the ways ur a piece of crap) and ‘9/11 wasn’t our fault’
  • collective avoidance of calling out anti semitism or topical discussions about anti-semitism
  • intra community issues are nearly impossible to discuss easily due to some of those above points
  • so we’re forced to basically accumulate into pillars or ‘sections’ even w/ differing ideals/focuses between us
  • ‘IF YOU BELIEVE IN EQUALITY YOU ARE A FEMINIST’ like n o
