@Billbertram@hermitcraft_@theskizzleman@SkizzleArchive I don’t either! I do care that the PG rated Minecraft media I consume is not being made by secret bigots though. Outspoken bigots are easier to deal when because then we could all just avoid them, but alas.
@Nova_7k@Xen_Main@SkizzleArchive I don’t know this source so I won’t disagree but it isn’t the only place I have read/heard the critiques. And oral history (what could be considered “street data”) is an ancient indigenous way of record keeping. Academics in indigenous studies recognize that.
@Billbertram@hermitcraft_@theskizzleman@SkizzleArchive Cool, you’re intersex? I recently learned there are as many intersex people in the population as redheads so pretty common! Freedom of speech all you’d like doesn’t stop the consequences, that’s why prosocial behaviour is so important.
@SkizzleArchive It’s worth looking into how problematic maslows hierarchy of needs is too, how it was a stolen (and changed) concept from indigenous people. Fits that skizz chose it as his base concept and waxed poetic about it all the time.
@gearsix66@TommyTank25@hermitcraft_@theskizzleman@SkizzleArchive People are capable of handling the truth, Skizz hurt folks and they’re telling him why in plain terms. There’s a lot of resources out there if he wants to do good by them. He has the resources and support around him to be okay. He’s an adult.
@TommyTank25@hermitcraft_@theskizzleman@SkizzleArchive Racism isn’t some big horrific insult it’s just something we always have to be unlearning as white people. It’s when the folks who are being asked to listen on how they are participating/harming continue or avoid the conversation it gets like this where accountability is needed.
@TommyTank25@hermitcraft_@theskizzleman@SkizzleArchive So white people who don’t actively unpack their anti-Black bias are racist yes. We are all racist. Skizz has a bunch of stuff coming up right now that’s been ignored so he’s being asked to listen.

@TommyTank25@hermitcraft_@theskizzleman@SkizzleArchive Skizz regularly code/style switches and uses AAVE. It’s extracting directly from POC and in particular Black folks. White culture doesn’t consider it racist (in fact white people looove AAVE when other white people use it). https://t.co/zluMYiLLye but it’s racist.
@SquishAndI Better after but I wanna see fatter folks even! I used to play but genuinely stopped because I am fat IRL and the glue of loving a game just isn’t there when you can never get into the cosmetics etc.
insane how easy it is to make it known that you, as a content creator, are establishing a safe space within your community. a certain someone doesn’t do that because it means alienating the far-right base in their own.
