EM POC WEEKLY THREAD 11/18/2024
This is home for me.
I love all of my comrades on c/em_poc, but I wanna especially give a huge shoutout to @sweet_pecan@hexbear.net for doing a lot to help me keep my composure. I don't know if they quite realize how much I appreciate them!
Each and every single one of you makes me feel less alone through these struggles, though.
I hope all of you are well!

adult white queers who base their identity around Greek mythology are the actual worse. like 90% if them are white supremacist. i will not fuck with them, I genuinely despise them. please grow the fuck up and research any other part of history. if you can tell me about how gay ancient greek and rome were but not any other country you are a queer white supremacist.
Cis white men: obsessed about ancient rome and greece because strong alpha male
Queer whites: obsessed about them because uhm actually they were super gay
Reality: they're obsessed about them because they think they were white
yes!! exactly! and its not like they study the actual history. the celebrate a fantasy version of ancient Greece free of misogyny and slavey. like I cant tell you how many queer people I've heard say things like "I don't want to go to work, I want to be gay and write poems all day, eating grapes, like i should be doing in ancient Greece" GIRL Sappho didn't do actual work because she had SLAVES, you're fantasizing about being a slave owner right now. same thing with white queers who call themselves achilleans. like sapphic is less bad because it has an etymological reason for existing, it has a history. ACHILEANS are white queers who are obsessed with tic tok "retellings" of ancient greek myths that they think are canon. no joke raina i have met dozens and dozens of these people and they are insufferable
When learning English I used to turn on those youtube videos of tumblr posts being read and I got blasted with white queer fantasies of ancient Greece, if they were back then they'd either be slaves or slave owners.

Western version of toxic yaoi tropes at some point, just purely vibes based.
