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
