ibarw--or go fuck yourself, [redacted 'cause holly said not to use racial slurs]
Anon race fail
I think this speaks for itself. But I will also link to the context:
OP with links to original fail.
I had decided not to fuel the flames on this with posting about the kink meme bullshit because the less traffic the fools get, the better, but OKAY I guess I will.
Aside from thread after thread of extreme idiocy, flagrant racism, and baiting, I feel the saddest part of the original fail (on the kink meme itself) is the mods freezing the threads and saying "stop being serious, this is for lulz." Look, I get wanting to have fun and blockading your sandbox-of-fun against srs bznz. However, perhaps you should have a policy, such as "if racism or some other ism goes down, we step back and allow others to administer a beatown" rather than freezing threads. Freezing threads is basically approval of racist remarks. You are assholes, kink meme mods. I hope you're not on my fl. I feel like you probably are, though. I think you're dicks. It's a pain in the ass to do fandom husbandry and to host something like that meme, but you have a position of authority and using it to prop up the status quo of blatant racism and the disenfranchisement of minorities is the worst sort of cowardly behavior.
I would further say that in the above spnanonymeme and on the kink meme, it seems to me the logical response is to deny the herd mentality of blind anon posting by posting in response with your lj name attached. THIS shit is why I hate anonymemes. Wanking about how lame people's fic is is one thing, devaluing fellow human beings by being an ignorant ass fuckhead is something else entirely.
Read the threads yourself and make up your own minds. I won't tell you what to think, but I know what I think myself.

They are VERY busy with their white privilege blinders. Also, they checked the dictionary and it didn't say racism = prejudice + power so obvs everyone else is wrong.
IBARW makes my head explode every year because there are masses of people going "OMG I HAD NO IDEA" over racism 101 concepts.

The really sad thing is that I encounter people like this every day in RL, and yet it still manages to surprise me that there are white folk who are so completely oblivious to the millions of ways their lives are made easier by their whiteness.
