Y’all better not tell people we fell out over a reality tv dating game show…
We quietly fell out over misogynoir, respectability politics, colorism, patriarchy, tribalism and your commitment to cognitive dissonance. #loveislandusa
y'all want a boyfriend for EVERYTHING bruh. take your lil siblings to the pumpkin patch, facetime your grandparents, make your mom a spooky basket, travel somewhere with a friend, go out to eat w your family, fuck
i know i’m usually someone who can find the humor in almost everything, but there’s nothing funny about what i just watched. my heart honestly aches for olandria. she hasn’t gotten a single moment of peace since stepping into that villa. every day it’s people spewing the most hateful, hurtful, and blatantly racist things about her. imagine waking up every day to strangers dissecting your existence, twisting your confidence into arrogance, your kindness into manipulation, your blackness into something to be mocked. it’s exhausting watching a black woman get torn apart just for existing, for breathing, for daring to love herself out loud.
y’all call us a “cult” for defending her, but we defend her because the world refuses to. we defend her because every time she smiles through the hate, she’s carrying the weight of racism, misogyny, & jealousy on her back. olandria has done absolutely nothing wrong & yet she’s the one paying the price for other people’s prejudice. it’s not just hate anymore, it’s cruelty disguised as “opinions.” & it’s heartbreaking to watch, because no one deserves to endure that just for being who they are.
I’m very hungry. My body is slowly falling apart from malnutrition, dizziness, and weight loss.
