Nah sis it’s very true. It’s like the new version of Mammy. They use it for a very specific subset of black women.

Who’s they? I never see white people using that ever & I’ve only seen them enforce the Mammy trope. Only ppl within the community
-
refer to ppl as Auntie from what I’ve seen, and it’s a term of endearment in that context
-
Seemingly it endearing and yes we are the ones that use it but it still carries a connotation of desexualizing black women. Especially when used in front of company cuz the use on the internet is fairly new. It’s taken a life.
-
Plus it’s like if she don’t wanna be called your auntie you gotta let her have that. Lol whole grandmothers don’t wanna be called grandmom lol gotta respect their wishes.
-
I’ll never disrespect someone w/a misnomer ever, I’ll call them what they’d like to be called. but I still find it annoying and not as deep as Ava and Co lol
