Remember, EM POC only!

Just brewed up the coffee, feeling like a doomer, but at least I’m about to be a caffeinated one.

How are all my fellow EM POC comrades doing?

    my favourite activity is watching crackers make shit up and believe it, especially the more “left leaning” ones, end up seeing stuff like “of course some Haitians eat household pets, but that’s not enough to justify racism against them and there’s good ones that don’t eat pets” from time to time

      Picture of the average whitey when left alone with their thoughts:

      It does seem like they’re addicted to outrage. Conservatives are constantly finding things to get upset over, but even libs will glue themselves to the screen looking at Trump’s antics. I don’t understand it. It’s too exhausting to constantly plug yourself into the outrage machine. Like go watch a movie or something.

      I think the outrage culture probably exists among EMPOCs, though I’m struggling to think of any examples.

        Like go watch a movie or something.

        Can’t even do that because now they’ll even lose their minds for the most minimal repesentation of anything other than CIS white people.

          I remember the IMDB message board would always be filled with chuds losing their shit any time a movie had anything other than white cishet straight men.

          There’s a movie called “The Invitation” and it takes place in LA. A bunch of people were in the message boards complaining about diversity within the cast and I’m just like “That’s a pretty typical friend group when you live in a city with over 1 million people?”
