REMINDER: THIS IS NOT JUST A COMEDY SUB
🗣️ IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER MANIFESTOOOOOOOO
Y'all...
there's only so many times I can say this shit before I lose my mind
This sub was named at like 4 in the morning because I just wanted somewhere to post silly or interesting shit whenever insomnia was beating the brakes offa me. I only made it a public sub because I thought other Black folks might find some of it interesting or silly too
At first it was only me posting and then others began to contribute as it became more popular over time but the type of content seen here has varied across genres since day 1. Those who have been here since then can attest to that. Even if you go back to the very beginning of this sub's post history, you'll see that not everything posted here has been humorous in nature
It's seemingly only the new folks who have a problem with it. Some of you get so irrationally angry at the fact that you saw the word comedy in the sub name as if it doesn't also say in multiple places "THIS IS NOT JUST A COMEDY SUB" immediately after that ⬇️
As I've stated countless times before: "It was specifically created so Black people can share and discuss content that relates to their experiences WITH OTHER BLACK PEOPLE". If you're going to be hyper focused on anything, let it be that. That's the important part here because there are only a small handful of spaces on this app that actually prioritize Black voices and opinions
Some of you are so unnecessarily and annoyingly pedantic about the "comedy" part of the name as if there aren't character limits (and you nonBlack folks have absolutely zero qualms ignoring the "BLACK PEOPLE" part 🤨). YOU try coming up with a name that's under 21 characters, isn't already taken, AND explicitly denotes that this sub is for Black people. Y'all don't need to take it so literally. It's just a damn name. GET OVER IT
It's also worth repeating: "If the content you're complaining about doesn't break any of our rules, please shut up. Stop thinking each and every post will be specifically curated to suit your individual preferences". It's perfectly ok to not like what you're watching. It's NOT ok to shit all over stuff you see just because it wasn't posted with your personal interests in mind
Imma let y'all in on a lil secret: one of my pet peeves is repeating myself. It makes *me* irrationally angry, much like the sub name apparently makes y'all. This is part of why I use the pre-written messages when removing rule breaking comments. If I don't y'all will only get one or two patient responses at most from me before I start letting the choppa sing fr. Far too many folks are seeing the pre-written responses and getting pissy about it
Some of the more extreme examples include:
entirely unnecessary exhibit B
idek why this mf was here to begin with
If it don't apply, let it fly. It's that simple. Just like there are character limits for the sub name, there are limits to how many rules a sub can have so some are combined for simplicity. That's all. It's not a conspiracy to invalidate your identity, it's nothing personal, and I'm not out to get you
For example, if you didn't link your source like you know you need to do or you post a video from someone who is clearly not Black and your post gets removed like Tweedle Dee or Tweedle Dum depicted above, NOBODY IS SAYING YOU'RE NOT BLACK
... unless you're not Black and you're commenting with the same obnoxious "👋🏻 guy/girl/they/them here representing the snowy mountains of Caucasus" bullshit that we repeatedly ask y'all not to bring here
this is wtf y'all look like when you're all up in the kool-aid and you don't know the flavor
It's posted too many times for y'all to keep playing dumb about it. Idgaf if you're trying to be self-deprecating or whatever tf your reasoning may be. Take all that validation seeking bullshit back to BPT. Like I said last time, I'm not about to keep explaining this shit so I've been enforcing a zero tolerance policy about it and banning mfs who still do it because at this stage in the game: a) you know what you're doing, b) you know that we ask you not to, c) y'all just don't give a shit (to absolutely no one's surprise)
In conclusion,
it'll solve most of y'all's problems fr
Because if it's already posted plain as day where you can see it and y'all make me keep repeating myself for no damn reason, I can't be held responsible for my reactions 🤷🏾♀️
