oh and um.
if i'm a white yet queer person who cries *genuine tears of grief* over jonathan joss's death
no, it's not white tears
and when i point out that i'm queer and grieving, i'm not "weaponizing my queerness"
get absolutely fucked

Seriously why are we shaming folks for being brainwashed and ignorant — not by their own choice or willfulness, but by design
It's ALWAYS better late than never
We need all the support we can get
