Can I be honest (serious rant)
Some of the recent posts on this sub regarding a popular image rn have been rubbing me the wrong way. Frankly to me it is not just two women being pit against each other, really it has little to do with feminine rivalry and more with literal racism, fetishization and objectification,,, especially since the original creator has literally stated that thats what they want.
A lot of times this just leads back to fetishization of black women and basically doing free fetish art for white supremacists :( not to mention this is really not the first time this has happened on this sub and on the internet in general (i most often see this with people of color or transgender people)
Like I get that this comes from a good place but I feel like we as a whole should be more mindful of the societal impact this would have on marginalised communities, right?
Also little sidenote I feel like the subreddit's last rule about marking posts that contain bigotry with as spoiler is just there for decoration oof
