You have absolutely no fucking right to speak on what Aventurine means to Rroma people, Aventurine isn’t just a person of color he is SPECIFICALLY RROMA, just because you are a person of color doesn’t mean you could even begin to understand the culture he represents
@SpikedPuffs @yaoirine What is representation for if not for the represented group to see themselves and find joy in a character? I am blocking you now because my point still remains. Gootbye
@SpikedPuffs @yaoirine Many Rroma find joy in Aventurine whether you understand that or not. Several Rroma have expressed this and you continue to ignore them and speak over them
@SpikedPuffs @yaoirine Oscar Wilde was homosexual. I am aware he had a wife. I am also aware that homosexuality was criminalized at the time, as he was criminally persecuted for it, and having a wife effectively protects you in such a scenario.
@SpikedPuffs @yaoirine This is a false equivalence because gay culture isnt gatekept for protection. You can google gay culture and learn a lot about it. In contrast, in response to the persecution Rromas have faced historically, they keep information about their culture away from outsiders
@SpikedPuffs @yaoirine What part of this screenshot is so difficult for you to understand? How many times do I have to say, “your opinion on Dr. Ratio’s comment/Aventurine as Rroma rep is irrelevant unless you are Rroma”?
@SpikedPuffs @yaoirine Oscar Wilde wasn’t bisexual, he is a homosexual historical figure and referencing him is not endorsing or idolizing him. People interpret Aventurine as gay because thats what he is, the viewers pick up on it because the coding is there. Theres no point in arguing against it
because we're suddenly back on ignoring rroma when we tell you ratio isn't racist and sunday was, i will be adding my piece as a calé rromani woman. and i will be including personal experiences.
first of all, ratio isn't racist. rroma people have been over that one many times.
@SpikedPuffs @yaoirine Nobody is asking you to read the thread, but if you want to critique it you’ll have to do the bare minimum of reading through it. Anyone who has read the thread can tell you the peacock symbolism is shortest portion of the thread
@kylebrooks03 @SpikedPuffs @arlaqiu U rlly thought u did something but of course I have a thread full of analysis i took the time to write as my pinned, many Rroma have made threads about Aventurines cultural ties so I don’t need to
@SpikedPuffs @yaoirine Because the thread is about his gay coding. It’s not titled, “here’s every relevant bit of information about Aventurine”, it was made for people to cite.
@Nikoomattz Also “just because they resonate with him doesnt make him good rep” do you think the rep is meant to satisfy YOU? It quite literally only matters if it resonates with the people hes meant to represent. What an entitled mindset to have, I have made my point and am blocking now
@Nikoomattz OK, so you ARE confused. I am fucking talking to the person I QRTed. The entire post is actually about the person I QRTed. Do you understand that? Do you understand how I was never talking about you or your valid critiques of hoyo’s racism?
