As a lesbian, I couldn't BELIEVE how many straight couples messaged me asking if I wanted to join them for a threesome. A lot of people have a lot of annoying, insulting, dehumanizing fetishes, but online there's a simple solution: just block their fucked up profile and move on to the non-weirdos.

Take solace in the fact that the only reason they're online is because they couldn't find anyone in their own lives willing to go along with their idiocy?

Fetishists are the worst. But they seem to be a lot more upfront about it online, so at least you can avoid them more easily, right? Most of those douchebros have something on their profile like "I've never been with a black woman and I like to try new things." And then I roll my eyes and block them, because WTF, I'm…

I just had it. Then my boyfriend talked to me. I punched him in the face.

I'm light skinned hispanic and it's been a real problem for me. Lots of the whole "ooo your booty is so nice, eyes are so big, and you'll be freaky in the sack because you're Latina"

Without jumping to insults, I think at least one of the major reasons the situations you described differ from the one at hand is because of the power differential. Dressing up as a group of people who have been oppressed, marginalised, and disrespected for a very long time (and even today) comes across as essentially…

Which "famous person from Africa" would this be? Also, I hope your entire guest list dies in a fire. In Africa.

tl;dr version of her response:

5. BLACK FACE IS NEVER OK. Jesus. Why is this so hard for people to understand? Just. Don't. Do. It.

As someone who has worked in Africa (Rwanda specifically, because Africa is a big, non-homogenous continent) for a long time, I actually don't want her to go to Africa. Too many privileged white people use Africa and Africans as a path to self-discovery and people get hurt because of it. She's clearly too ignorant to…

That "explanation" reads like "Sorry, Not Sorry BINGO: The Blackface Edition".

When will people learn that "I didn't intend to be racist" or "I didn't intend to offend you" doesn't excuse racism or general ignorance? No one gives two shits about what you intended to do! Your impact is what's being questioned here.

3. You're 21 and you can't spell.

What is the female equivalent to brotastic? Whatever it is, this girl has got it.

Jesus, Mississippi thinks these guys should tone it down.
