why do people wanna defend poussey’s death so so so so badly like they just. they gotta,, they fuckin gotta say something. every single time. black people and lesbians were triggered, hundreds of people have made posts trying to explain how damaging this entire season of oitnb was, and there was not one black person in the writers room this season to give even an ounce of black perspective on their entire “police brutality” arc, which i put in quotations cause in the end they still made the murderer look innocent; as if the whole thing had been a terrible accident, because sometimes These Things Just Happen.

and yet every time you point any of these things out there’s always someone. always white noise floodin into your inbox and notifications with the “ok but!!!” and “you’re overreacting” and “well actually-” laksjdfkajsdfkjasdf shut up just… stop talking… stop making words and thoughts and typing things on the dot com… when somebody says “hey i was triggered because of this horrible damaging story they told this season” maybe shut up and think “sorry you went through that” instead of “well it didnt bother me so let me tell you why you’re wrong and being dramatic-”
