We’re Spreading These Photos Of John Boyega, And Good We Should. But In The Midst Of All That Don’t

just a reminder:

a black girl character growing her hair out long breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character having short hair

a black girl character getting to be soft and fragile breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character being strong all the time

a black girl character being protected and comforted by others breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character having no one to look out for her but herself

a black girl character being considered pretty or cute by other characters breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character being considered unattractive

not everything that is empowering for white girls is empowering for black girls

the sexism we face overlaps, but it is not the same

Trans Black girls who need love

The Black girls who u refuse to reblog are still valid and still matter.

I came to this realization years ago but: Korea loves Kpop girls, but don't love the actual girl.

They love the persona: the aegyo, the sexy stage, the bubbly songs, the submissiveness of female idols.

However, when these girls; these women (because I feel like some of them aren't even seen as that) are vocal about feminism, inequality, self love, or take any control over their lives; they are demonized in an instant. If someone leaked pictures of them that were supposed to be private, they are slut shamed, attention whores, ugly, or not that talented to begin with.

And this isn't restricted to kpop. This isn't restricted to Korea itself. But this is a factor, one of many, that messes with someone's mental state. Which could lead to things like suicide.

This quick "shoot down idols for being slightly flawed or human" is prevalent to both genders. We've lost idols from both genders. But there will ALWAYS be a different standard for women because they are supposed to be the pure innocent person that fits the societal gaze.

At the end of the day, if we do not break that mentality thrusted at us that these female idols (and all idols too) are simply here to be Barbie dolls and not human beings, then we run the risk of losing another idol.

Gina Carano did not get fired from The Mandalorian for being transphobic.

She got fired for being Anti-Semitic.

Her being transphobic is not at all okay either,

But anti semitism is not talked about enough.

She basically just compared Holocaust victims to having different political opinions.

I’m Jewish. I really don’t like when someone compares the genocide of 6 million of my people to having a different political opinion! Do you realize how fucked up that is?!

Reblog this. Don’t just like this post. People need to know this. People need to start taking anti semitism more seriously.

Don’t you dare just like this post!

REBLOG IT

Lol white women are still racist and untrustworthy today

Exhibit A

Thank you white women for once again letting us know you are not to be trusted :)
