glass_icarusBook post derailed by RAGE STROKE.
Roundups:torachan's here, amazonziti's here. bossymarmalade was a saint and collected excerpts; I want to run around stapling ephemere's Silly matters to the foreheads of everyone involved in this fail, everyone who stood by and said nothing or gave encouragement while this thing was being written, everyone who says "but she didn't intend to be offensive!!!"
The intent of the author, for the 12039872309873490586345th fucking time, is NOT THE POINT. What matters is the RESULTS, and the results of this travesty are not just offense, they are PERPETUATING HARM. So forgive me if I don't give a shit about the author's hurt feelings; forgive me if I and everyone else calling this shit out don't sound polite or nice enough for you. If you can still, after endless rounds of fail, waste your time on the (zombie) tone argument, what you are saying is that you can only see POCs as paper dolls, as puppets, as props and set dressing for your own personal dramas. You are saying that you cannot see us as real human beings with real human lives, and that... that does not make me as angry as it makes me sad for you, and believe me, I am very fucking angry right now.
Read these. Read these. I cannot trust myself to be coherent any longer, but I refuse to remain silent.
eta: viainkstone- not the first time post-earthquake Haiti has been used as a backdrop?!?!? BRB, need to borrow brass knuckles.
