Banning “Sp**ky” is Good, But Not Far Enough: Now Do F*ll (ageist, old ppl fall a lot) P*mpk*n Sp*ce (white supremacy, obvs), and A*t*mn (not gonna explain, no argument)

Gentle reminder about harm reduction

We stand with this heroic tweet

It’s about time someone said it – everyone who has ever said the word “sp**ky” is an enormous racist, full stop. Is it any surprise that our racist, white supremacist nation has rebranded Halloween as “Sp**ky Season?” It’s living proof that More Work Needs to Be Done. Now that we’ve nuked “sp**ky, let’s continue with other, even more problematic, words.

1) F*ll – How fucking ageist is this word? Don’t tell me you haven’t noticed that Old People are 273% more likely to fall than non-olds. The Season After Summer (SAS) is what you should be calling the season after summer, or we’ll find your old tweets and try to get you fired from your job. It’s called consequences, look it up. Gentle reminder.

2) P*mpk*n Sp*ce – White “folks” decided out of the blue to like something, and now it’s everywhere, including spaces of colour, supposedly safe spaces, and Portland. This needs to stop. If you like something, and you’re not a person of colour, keep it to yourself, oppressor. If you have a problem with this gentle reminder, then you might be a racist.

3) A*t*mn – It’s not my job to educate you as to why everything is problematic. I’m on X, I’m on the right team, and I say so, that’s why. Maybe you should ask the colonizing “Pilgrims” (ugh) why they like Autumn so much.

Grr, I hate white people so much! Yes, ALL white people, including myself. It is my hope that one day I can hate myself so much that I love myself. Until then, say only the words we approve of, OR ELSE! Gentle reminder.
