I've seen white guys get pelted for fetishizing women of color. Trust me, "heart-stoppingly beautiful" is not the sort of phrase you'll get pelted for. (Now if you were talking about how "exotic" she was . . .)

(Anonymous) 2014-09-05 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Basically this. Are you talking about how beautiful she is? Awesome! Are you talking about how her exotic beauty mentally transports you to far-off lands of cliche and stereotype? Not awesome!

SJWs need to shut up, get over themselves and learn to scroll past comments they don't like.

Geeze a Pete! Like the people you like and do it proudly. Don't let these internet bullies silence you.

(Anonymous) 2014-09-04 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Nobody's going to come at you for thinking a woman is beautiful, unless you're being really weird about it (like somebody upthread said, calling her an "exotic" beauty or something). So don't worry about it. If anybody said anything, they'd be showing their own ass.

I think you should infiltrate the biggest SJW hive-mind hell hole on the internet you can find, go there, mention you're white, tell them what you told us about this person, then lurk and laugh as they explode in frothy rage over the idea of someone finding someone else attractive.

except that wouldn't happen

OP seems to think it will. I'm just hoping they link us back to the drama.

I don't see the problem. There are many non-white people I find attractive. As long as it's done respectfully, I don't see a problem.

(Anonymous) 2014-09-05 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Dude, tumblr is full of SJWs who go out of their way to call POC women the most beautiful people on Earth who can do no wrong. They probably wouldn't give a shit if you called her beautiful...unless you're a man. Then they might.

(Anonymous) 2014-09-05 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Unless you end up saying something troubling, I don't think even SJWs will bother you if you admit you love this actress. Especially since it's you know, the internet, and most people won't even know you're white if you're just going into random fandom discussions.

Echoing what basically everybody has said -- just saying that you find a non-white woman attractive =/= 'fetishizing' and I don't know where you got the idea it would be taken that way.

(Unless there's something about her or her fans that's not apparent from this secret?)

(Anonymous) 2014-09-05 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
"this woman is beautiful" =/= fetishizing

the behavior that would get you 'pelted' would be: "i've never been with someone as dark as her; she looks like she'd be fun. i love exotic girls. i've always wanted to try a darker-skinned woman." and so on and so forth.

there is a difference. and most SJWs are aware of said difference. so unless you've run into some intensely-and-painfully dogmatic SJWs (that most normal SJWs don't want to associate with to begin with) and/or trolls who pretend to be SJWs (which seem to be extremely prevalent in the hopes of making all SJWs look bad), you're pretty much in the clear. most of them know the difference between finding someone attractive and fetishizing them and would probably just agree with you and say, "yep, she's gorgeous!" and that would be the end of it.

pretty much this.

Finding a woman of color attractive is different than finding a woman attractive because of her skin color. Yellow fever, for example, would be fetishizing. Finding, say, Gong Li pretty isn't. In this case, OP sounds like s/he likes her acting and her looks, which isn't the same as liking her skin color.

Yes. Every time every white person says that they find a non-white person attractive and talented they are accused of fetishizing them.

This is a thing that actually happens.

in SJW strawman hell where every tumblr user is a hairy pitted pansexual or w/e

I'm willing to bet the OP knows the difference between "this individual who happens to be a POC is talented and gorgeous!" and "mmm latinas are so spicy gimme some of that caramel mama hue hue" perfectly well, but it's easier to cry "SJWs!!!!!" than deal with real fetishization by pretending people who complain about the latter would complain about the former. Look at them so silly and angry at nothing!

So... like just about everyone who complains about "political correctness" or "social justice", I guess.

(Anonymous) 2014-09-05 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
lol exactly

why bother to admit there are issues when we can just caricature those people who complain about said issues as an excuse to sweep them under the rug?

Yup.

(Anonymous) 2014-09-07 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
you don't spend much time at tumblr, do you?

yeah, OP isn't hyperbole. it really is that bad.
ariakas: (Default)

[personal profile] ariakas 2014-09-07 09:02 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, I have a tumblr. And no, it isn't. Aside from a few troll blogs, it really, really isn't. If you can't tell the difference, or you go out of your way to specifically seek out the craziest possible fringe and care intimately what they think of you, that's on your own head.

(Anonymous) 2014-09-05 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
publicly.

I've never seen anyone criticise a white person simply for finding a non-white person attractive, on Tumblr or otherwise.
