You know the “fortnite dances” as people are referring to are like, all popular dances from hip hop artists that were taken without credit, acknowledgement, or royalties right?

Black artists specifically

Almost every single one of them were thought of by black people and artists, then fortnite trademarked then without credit. This is literally cultural appropriation.

I dunno if they trademarked them but they ABSOLUTELY monetized them with no royalties paid out. Like I still don’t support bothering little kids over Fortnite dances or whatever the fuck but check this out:

What Fortnite’s Dance Emotes May Owe To The Black Artists Who Created Them

Even the dance that is often classified as THE Fortnite dance was straight up stolen from black actor and performer, Donald Faison. He improvised the dance for an episode of Scrubs in 2006.

the whole ‘aromantic asexual people are just straight people’ says a lot about people’s belief in ‘straight is the default’

Why FCKH8 is NOT an Ally to the Queer Community

That time they made fun of asexuality and diversity of the queer community in one fell swoop

That time they became hypocrites about it to avoid being called acephobic (not to mention cissexist/ not trans* inclusive)

That time they used misogyny to empower cis gay men, alienate lesbians, forget about bisexuality, and be cissexist about all forms of sexuality

That time they stole ideas from queer charities to make a profit

That time they stole ideas from bloggers to make a profit

That time reviews show just how shitty they are at doing business anways

That time they paralleled racial segregation to the gay rights movement because they are definitely the same thing

That time they used stereotypes of Black women to render them into props

That time they ignored gender neutral pronouns, cited religion as a reason for doing so, and harassed someone over it

Basically all of the stuff folks are reporting on this tumblr I keep linking ya’ll to

They harass and disrespect people on their facebook page. They are actively cissexist, transphobic, asexual erasing, racist, sexist, and misogynist in order to sell shitty, overpriced t-shirts that they stole from charities.

So in other words, fuck fckh8.

(I understand that a lot of parodies of fckh8 have recently appeared on tumblr and other social network websites. As far as I am aware none of the links I have posted above are parodies, and are actually associated with fckh8.

If you notice any disparities, please let me know.)
