I use them, because that’s my color. It’s just a touch of personalisation. I won’t paint myself yellow in my profile pictures either.

Normally I’d ask why this is such a big deal, but I’m afraid I know. And no, I’m not fascist, not racist, and not taking any pride in skin color in any way (if anything, I’d be rather ashamed because of those white people who think they’re superior in any way). In an ideal world everyone should be able to show themselves as who they are, and I’m holding myself to that, regardless of how sick the world is.

You should be able to use any color, whether it’s your true identity or you pick it for privacy reasons. If someone harasses you just because of skin color, that piece of shit garbage motherfucker must be banned from the internet, possibly from public spaces too.

Damn this triggered me so bad.

I know someone who has the same name as her mother, and her grandmother. They all lived in the same household. Imagine, you call her name and all three of them listen.

I never understood this practice in general, regardless of gender. There are so many possibilities, sure it takes some creativity, but it’s not that hard, come on.
