this is entrapment
two equally delightful paths here:
1) a very simple and genuine “i like your shoelaces”, which tells me that you are either a lesbian or a very cool ally
2) “i like your shoelaces” followed by the pronounced grimace of one recalling their past sins, which tells me that you were a 2012 tumblr user. i now hold the power in this conversation and you are at my mercy.
if you know about 2012 tumblr how do you hold any power in any conversation
well, stucky fanfic url, the trick is to not let them know that you are also cringe

what a great day to remember that calling asian characters rat is something you shouldn’t do
thank you
snake is a much better alternative too, plus it sounds cooler
YEAH THANK YOU TOO
no actually don’t call asian characters snakes either lol. don’t call asians in general, not just characters, rats or snakes. honestly? stop comparing people of colour to animals altogether. no matter what animal you choose, there will be racial connotations that you might be unaware of. plus its quite literally dehumanizing.
i’m only speaking on the asian aspect because i am asian. we were (and still are) often compared to snakes. a big comment that i got growing up was that my eyes were ‘snake’ or ‘cat’ shaped. asians are seen as something Exotic from the Unknown East which is orientalist and dehumanizing. because of this, asian women that do not fit the sweet and submissive asian woman stereotype are called coldhearted, cruel, and unfeeling. there is also the racist idea that asian immigrants are stealing high paying jobs, which plays into the “all asians are doctors” stereotype and is called being a ‘snake in the grass’, and the list goes on. in case you are unaware of why comparing jewish people to reptiles is bad, here is a post made by a jewish person that can explain it better than i can. https://thekosheraisle.tumblr.com/post/181700938520/could-you-please-explain-the-whole
i don’t blame you for not considering this, most people aren’t aware of their own biases until it is pointed out to them and if anything this is an opportunity for learning. but if you are going to make a post about the fact a specific term is racist, don’t just give a substitute for it
how many people could be working on actual problems in the world instead of being forced to do jobs that they are over-qualified for just because they dont want to go homeless and starve?
climate change is threatening to kill us and people with biology degrees are working at starbucks if they didn’t get lucky in the nepotism department.
capitalism is possibly the least efficient way to allocate work.
You love art–have spent your entire childhood developing a style people love and appreciate? you could possibly work to improve the lives of millions with your beautiful creations?
sorry you need to work 12 hours a day at a walmart that doesn’t need you while some billionaire who took a painting class once sells some ugly bullshit for 3.5 million.
Millions of people want to be doctors but can’t afford medical school, it is a well known fact we don’t have enough doctors for the demand. hmm wow real efficient capitalism.
