Black people arguing about black people ruining Dreamcon

[O.Red]

Mainstream Black Culture always gobbles up and homogenizes "Off Brand"/"Left of Center"/"Nerdy/Earthy/Crunchy" Black Culture.

The Borg.

Cats went from Ray Barbee and Ron Allen to

Crenshaw Skate Culture. The skateboard is barely in the picture.

Happens with everything.

Afro-Punk used to be literally Black Kids playing dat white boy stuff....

Before long Erykah Badu is headlining.

(And Badu used to be on some different stuff, but the Destiny's Child/Total/Escape fans jumped on her band wagon)

This might be worth a thread

Otaku twerk class

nikkas will change your whole set up if you don’t put rules in place and top notch security in place.

I take my nephew to the San Diego comic con and it’s straight business as usual

Looking at this shyt u got comic con, porn convention, twerk off, rap video, worldstar hip hop all wrapped up to one

It’s like the brother who had his restaurant and chicks come in twerking and he had to set those ghetto hoes straight

shyt is terrible and nikkas up in here and even online thinking this shyt is acceptable but knowing damn well they themselves will not want to be around the ignorance

As someone who use to do conventions regularly, Comic con is the most corporate and boring. You're average non-corporate convention is more like Dreamcon if you know where to go.

The truth is a good number of you guys either arent black, hate black people or if youre black, you have self hatred issues. Its telling what yall think is problematic and what yall be calling "black excellence"-whatever that means. Notice how way too many of you guys NEVER have anything positive to say about black people. shyt is weird. Like a lot of yall need to work on yourselves before worrying about the world around you because yall are mentally fukked up too

If white frat bros invaded nerd spaces with frat bro foolishness, you’d see the same reaction.

I’d argue white spaces are more segregated between different sub groups than black spaces.

I 100% agree

I knew we were cooked when folks were doing think pieces on why the women had a right to twerk on tables.

Easier to do when you have more spaces.

 

[MajesticLion]

What sponsors are going to want their name attached to "otaku twerk classes"

Really? That still has to be explained in this year 2025 of Gregorian counting?






The convention is the convention. Stick to the core business and build organically on that. All the extras will scare away the money. Leave that stuff to the hotel rooms and the afterparties. Trust, no one will be missing out on anything.

No one is stopping people from developing their own spaces so cute the victim bullshyt out

These black nerds and geeks made their own space, some of you are so lazy and entitled that you think it's okay to go to another space and impose your want on it.

You then are so idiotic that you try to play the pity card on folks who are imthe fukking same as you because that is how little you actually think

They're there, they just don't advertise it. People in frats and sororities coming to anime/gaming conventions has always been a thing. They're just on camera now and are more vocal.

Nothing is wrong with being a nerd aka smart. You sound insecure as fukk. Yall trying way too hard and shyt dont seem believable.

nerd doesn’t mean “smart”. that’s where you’re getting lost

all nerds don’t even get good grades lol

Nerd= may or may not be smart. socially awkward, outcast, poor hygiene, unpopular interests

if nerd simply meant smart there wouldn’t be any pretty/cool valedictorians, and there are plenty of those

Nerd simply meaning smart is one of those things that happens in movies more than real life. same with the “dumb jock” trope.

in reality people are for more balanced nuanced.

Alicia Keys was a valedictorian AKA best grades in her entire school and she definitely had no shortage of nikkas checking for her

Thats not a nerd. You dont know what youre talking about. Nothing is wrong with being smart. You want to look cool and really you sound insecure about being smart. Thats not a good look.

This all started because of a cac shytting on some Ques stepping. At a convention that is sponsored by the D9s and HBCUs.

 

[SadimirPutin]

They beating around the bush......many black anime fans want to be white adjacent and if tons of white people started attending they would be over the moon.....grinning and showing all their back teeth

 

[HimmyHendrix]

yes it is how you telling me lol

why was alicia keys and DDG both valedictorians and they never were considered nerds when they were the smartest people in the schools? if need simply means smart.

nerd doesn’t mean smart. nerd has a lot of stuff that goes into it and socially awkward and non combative are a couple of them

at nerd just meaning smart.
