happy birthday, dude.

Hot take but you can’t learn about paganism without also learning about white supremacy and how it uses pagan religions to push hate group agendas all over the world today. If you don’t learn about the connections between the two and how it operates, your ignorance enables white supremacists to keep on doing it and using it to recruit others. People in our community who do nothing and stay silent are literally a part of the problem, there is no opting out whatsoever. Divorcing the two makes the issue repeat itself over and over and over again.

It’s not hard to include this in your research and stay aware. It’s the bare minimum.

Knowing that Romeo can be a female just makes me laugh

I just wonder if he likes it at all. Besides, he had to act like a woman in the guise of Jesse, it's funny

I know of one person in this fandom who gets their panties in a twist every fucking time you headcanon literally anything about Jack because "erm he's a fascist! Is THAT the rep you want!"

Which is such a bullshit thing, I think. I remember an argument had popped up because of the fact that he's tan in canon. This is definitely gonna give away who I am but idrc.

Jack is undeniably TAN in canon, whether you think he's a poc or not falls solely on you, but he definitely has some color to him. He's no Angel. But basically, they drew him super pale and used in-game propaganda art as their backup as to "this is how he canonically looks!" Instead of models.

Then told me that I shouldn't be calling him a person of color because he's a fascist. And it's like. Honestly, I feel like him being a poc is kinda important to his character?

You gotta remember, his prejudice against Pandorans is lived behavior. This was stuff he had experienced whilst living on Pandora that had soured the reputation of the entire population in his mind. This wasn't just fed to him.

But, his hate for them doesn't reach their skin tones. It isn't about race, so him being a poc literally means nothing. And if we're gonna talk about historical stuff, people of color colonized, too! Spain!! Spain!! Pointing aggressively at Spain!

His mask being several shades lighter than his own face is not only something that he uses to set him higher than Pandorans— (look, my face is pure and untouched, yours is scarred. You wear a mask of terror, mine is of freedom.)— but it's also a subtle visual commentary on white saviors.

Race isn't important in the colonization of Pandora. It isn't racism, it's xenophobia— and there is a distinction when it comes to it. But it does come into play when viewing Jack.

Imo, to make him pale is to ignore a large visual clue that pulls him out of the crowd of Hyperion. For his time, if you look at all the people before him in power, no one looked like Jack. His tan is caused by being out in the sun, living on Pandora— something that Hyperion workers don't GET on Helios. He was a part of the working class, he was a part of the people. And that's how he turned out.

(just making it clear here that I don't get a shit what race u hc Jack as, as long as you recognize he's a lil dark is all I really care about tbh. And making it clear here that I am a white person, so if anything I say is offensive just tell me to shut the fuck up 🫡.)
