Oppressed people have been forced to be “nice” and “polite” and “socially acceptable” their whole lives in order to get even the bare minimum in society. We are expected to say “thank you” when an oppressor opens a door for us or gives us something, we are expected to say “please” when we ask for something (never mind that power is NEVER given freely and must be taken…)

So when we get on Tumblr, we want ONE. FUCKING. SPACE in which we don’t have to be polite. We can’t be expected to be polite because we are ANGRY and that’s okay. If you are white/cis/male, whatever, and looking to be an ally, the WORST FUCKING THING YOU CAN DO is “defend yourself” because we’re being “rude” or “threatening”. If we tell you to go kill yourself (which I personally haven’t said, but whatever) then JUST FUCKING TAKE IT. Don’t sit there with your white tears being all “But that’s not NICE.” Since when do you think we care about being nice?

Tone policing is an act of violence. If you call yourself an ally and still complain about oppressed people being “mean” to you, then you are worse than an actual proud racist/sexist, MRAs, TERFs, whatever.

So please, go fuck yourself :)
