A visual example of antiblackness- really of white European cultural dominance and racism as a whole- applied and hidden in plain sight:
The entirety of the blue section is all of the International section on Europe (interestingly it's got Turkey at the end.)
That yellow box? ALL of Africa.
Just size comparison and context, that orange section is Japan. One singular country vs an entire continent. Every time we say "African" versus having specific European countries and cultures to reference... That's not coincidental!
The damn sink's knocking at the door, gone head and let that in 😐
so there's definitely a racist component here, you're absolutely right, but part of it is also this:
there are places throughout Africa and Asia that I would love to visit, but as a gay man, I don't particularly feel safe going there with the laws they have on the books, and the cultural climate.
now is part of that a result of colonialism? absolutely, look at those shitass Christian missionaries getting homophobic laws passed in Uganda, utterly horrid people. not to mention many of those laws were inherited from English and French law which at the time was far more homophobic than indigenous law.
but that doesn't change the fact that that is the current legal and cultural climate now.
"I can't go to Africa because I'm gay" is really not a sentiment I should be surprised to hear on here at this point, and yet. All right man, whatever you say.
its really funny when a videogame gives you dialogue options and the options are 1. a normal and reasonable response to the situation 2. something only a cartoon bully would say unprompted. my roommate called it job application questionnaire dialogue.
you cannot make a post about how men put women in certain boxes without someone going "but what if i love the box? what if i've decided that it's comfortable in the box? are you gonna tell me i'm not ALLOWED to like the box? not very feminist of you to police a woman's decisions... maybe you'd be less ugly and miserable if you stopped talking about the box LMFAO #Girlboss #MyBox<3"
