This thread makes me want to spit nails and vinegar, I'm so pissed off. Lemme say it right upfront: if you can't, or REFUSE to, see the implications and problems with saying a black woman needs to be taken down a peg, then I want nothing to do with you. There's a whole history of racism and misogyny wrapped up in that one little phrase. I understand that the OP may not have realized that at first, but to continue defending her use of it is unacceptable and gross.

While I'm at it, I also really resent the idea that this is something that shouldn't be brought up in fandom. um, that kind of thinking is EXACTLY why it should be brought up. I get that maybe it would be better served to have these discussions outside of a kink meme, but don't you dare fucking say that people pointing out racism and sexism are just being wanky bitches and need to STFU.

Yeah, it's the domestic schmoop curtain Spock/Gaila you're hiding.

I just saw someone else using this icon and had a moment of outrage.
