Tumblr’s “walking on eggshells” and “one strike, you’re out” mentality is really really immature.
Reblog if ya agree.
Another unpopular opinion:
The “You can apologize, beg for forgiveness, and change your ways all you want but it won’t change a thing cause you’re still horrible vile trash that deserves to die a fiery death” mentality is really harmful, scary, disgusting, and will probably get someone killed, be it by someone else’s hand or their own
yet another unpopular opinion: the ‘unproblematic fav’ mentality is really bad because you’re putting an individual up on a pedestal and treating them like a deity of sorts and forgetting that they too are human beings and make mistakes.
Another unpopular opinion: Not every mistake is the Worst Thing Ever. Sometimes people make small mistakes, and sometimes ignorance is a small mistake, and they do not need to grovel and beg and apologize perfectly because in the scheme of things it was a small mistake that didn’t even seriously hurt anyone, outside of tumblr’s performative moral outrage being offended.
One more unpopular opinion: Forgivness is actually a good thing and not a moral crime.
the worst beauty misconception dark girls are fed is that they can’t experiment with their look
you can go as loud as you want
or keep it simple
stick to the neutrals
or go on all out galaxy chic
go out sultry
or go out sweet
cause your skin is so versatile
that there’s no such thing as “the right colour”
be a goddamn mermaid if you like
dress down
or up
go natural
or not
you’ll still look flawless
so go ahead and shower in gold
or do nothing at all
cause at the end of the day
you’re still a queen
You wanna talk representation? Before Tumblr, I never experimented with color, hair or makeup-wise. I’d heard too many people correlate black women and bright colors as ‘ghetto’. Posts like these are So important. So incredibly important.
Thank you
But for real yall some goddesses
what an amazing post
The amount of things society tells dark skinned women they can’t wear because of their skin color is insane
Especially when I can’t think of a thing I was ever told I couldn’t wear because of my light skin color
A small tutorial on how I approach the normally time-spending task of getting details on armor and save myself hours of work I would eventually hate after 30 minutes. Hope it’s the first of many!
