  • You may also like to know that the above definition is the appropriateated one. Pick me originally had nothing to do with Marginalized people. It was exclusively a term for women who enjoyed shitting on other women in a public setting, because she thought it would make her more attractive to men. For example, a woman who constantly talks about how She shaves every single day because body hair is absolutely horrible and disgusting, Like constantly and only in front of men. That’s a pick me. And then white people decided to steal the word and make it about marginalized groups. It’s really not that deep. It’s just about annoying girls in your friend group. Obviously definitions and words can change and grow, but it’s extremely annoying to see people shit on a word that’s been stolen from Black people And then actively offer the incorrect annoying definition to people Actively furthering the problem. It’s just so brazenly ignorant. If you don’t like using a term, you don’t actually have to use it.

  • Thank you for explaining to them. I assumed it would be obvious which word I was referring to and why, if not by knowing pick mes origin but at the very least context clues. Also, that is not the correct definition of pick me. That is the appropriated definition. Regardless, it’s extremely ignorant to call it a stupid term when you don’t even know what the word means.

  • fellow AFABs, were you punished for crying as a child?
  • They did!!! And then I would see my face and cry more, then they would tell me to stop feeling sorry for myself. Another funny thing about the spankings were that if I managed to not cry at all, that means they didn’t hit me hard enough and had to hit me again, even harder. It’s all about crying the perfect amount.

    i really like the idea of this sub CW sexual assault. eating disorder mentioned

    because i grew up listening to taylor swift. i was only allowed to listen to christian music and pre approved music and taylor made the cut. i was never a huge fan till high school came around and i was determined to make friends. i listened to as much popular music as I could, the more popular the songs the more i would need to know them to socialize. knowing stuff about taylor swift was an easy way to have something to talk about with many people, because of how many people had an opinion on her. the first best friend i ever had was a huge swiftie so i suddenly i was being forced to listen to all of her albums and to make taylor swift playlist about fictional characters in the books we wrote. it was fun. one of my friends made it her whole personality and was a true stan. she loved taylor because her songs comforted her after her sexual assault. when taylor sued the guy who assaulted her and won it was like... a win for my friend, when taylor talked about her eating disorder it meant a lot to all of us. they were also hardcore gaylors haha, like they thought she was "already out" fucking wild haha. when folklore came out i was blown away and then she did it again with evermore. mature beautiful songs that made me bawl my eyes out. a little after that i started to be a bigger fan and was on gaylor tic tok lol. the songs were only getting gayer! then i lost my old friend group over a falling out. midnights came out is it suuuuuuucked its her worst album hands down and was such a disappointment. also i went down a rabbit hole learning about all the racist, anti semetic, predatory things and just shitty she has done and it really killed the music for me for a bit. oblivious i should assume all rich white women are racist but the suing the black blogger thing was... fucking disgusting.

    so thats where im at i still have many fond memories of her music they remind me of both good and bad times and she has more than a few bops. a while ago i decided to separate the art from the artist and simply pirate everything. but then i saw this comm get made and though how fun! i can chat about taylors music with people who arent gonna defend the racist shit shes done and wont be misogynistic in their critiques and its gaylor friendly (i have a lot of thoughts but i digress) . I dont have friend that like her music anymore (I dont have anymore close white friends haha) sadly hexbear is probably not the place for this.

    but this is all mostly to clarify my position for @wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net because i was too sleepy to type this all up last night.

    im crying and having a bad time and i feel like i should just leave hexbear after my next fanon post.

    people are saying such shitty things about me. ill probably delete this, but can some of my comrades just give me a pep talk if your up to in. I know logically I love this place and this is a bad day, but I cant stop crying, i do so much work going out, doing mutual aid, supporting union drives, working with the dsa and psl ect and it doesn't fucking matter because as soon as I vent about the class of people who are giving me a hard time IM somehow stopping racial solidarity from happening. it hurts so bad and makes everything feel so pointless. i feel so disposable. im not gonna debate anyone i just want to chat with nice comrades who care. im actually crying hard over internet shit maybe its my sign to leave.

    edit: THANK YOU for the out pouring of love comrade, here, in my dms, and on cytube. I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH. I will be staying. I will be taking a break after this sundays fanon post (its the last one and BEST chapter hope i can see you there) but I shall return even more powerful than before. you guys are amazing thank you again to everyone committed to making this a safe space for BIPOC people to express themselves.
