I have seen two women make threads (that I agree with) about the difference of coming forward w/assault and abuse and making a post that is calling out a shitty ex who did nothing. One is Black and one is white. Guess which one is being taken in bad faith?
I'm tired.
I'm tired.
The intersection of racism and sexism that WOC, especially Black women in games (and everywhere) experience has been largely ignored in conversations and it's fucking exhausting.
Not to mention how I have seen white women coming at a Black woman who has been fighting this fight since before stories were coming out because they didn't like her wording of her detailed thread while a white woman made a single tweet and isnt coming under that hate.
What is happening is important but the focus on only white women is terrifying.
And to tops it off, in terms of exposure the white woman who has receieved no bad faith targeting in her thread has 24k+ followers, the Black woman has 4k+. I am just pissed.
