AKA get a new fetish. “I hear feet and urine are popular,” or so says a Youtuber who I follow, but whose name I forget.
Look, it’s not a compliment when white people say things like, “Asians are hot,” or “I want an Asian wife.”
Because let’s face it, you’re not actually attracted to us. You’re attracted to the delicate, China-doll, lily-blossom, submissive and...

My little brother got into outer space and stuff so my step-mom bought him a place mat with all the planets on it. When I first saw it, I was upset, because it was newer and so Pluto wasn’t labeled. I was about to say something when I noticed something…
Pluto is there.
The artist remembered Pluto.
Guys…
The artist drew Pluto crying.

After making me watch action/horror films,
I wonder if I should get back at my boyfriend by making him watch:
Buffy The Vampire Slayer (which he might actually like)
Dollhouse (which he might enjoy as well)
My Little Pony (which may make him question my sanity)
Kaichou wa Maid Sama or some other anime (which I may force him to love)
“Shall we dance” (which he will grudgingly watch)
A Korean Rom-Com Movie (which he might...

Not wanting an Asian/Female John Watson does not make you
sexist
racist
Please.
yes.
yes it does.

I’ve been seeing an awful lot of tone policing on my dash lately. It seems a lot of people don’t really understand why someone would respond aggressively or angrily, or otherwise emotionally, to having something really fucked up/hurtful/oppressive said to them. Or, they think it’s counterproductive to respond in that way.
First off, the reason that...
