I guess I'd like to learn more about what the real-world lessons of this take are. Because in practice what it usually seems to do is tear down acts of bravery (which, this exact fed line fucked up my leg, this person was very brave) without suggesting alternatives
(I am always open to learning more, this is not a rhetorical question)

Ofc! About to drive but I'll see if I've saved any sources around this & share larer. I've been too white appearing for too long to center my voice but also don't want to demand labor of Black individuals especially. Can give tl;dr version here but also happy to continue via DM

So, those disclaimers in mind: - opinions vary, listen to all of them - if ppl find this harmful rather than helpful, why? - if you want to do something visible, were you asked or encouraged by the ppl you're doing it for? - is a given action the *best* use of privilege? /1

- we applaud grand gestures but again, making ourselves visible like that is a *choice*, a clothed BIPOC showing up is assuming monumental risk that goes unpraised - white, eurocentric beauty standards are always valued & I can see why ppl wouldn't feel represented by one /2
