Physically impossible for me to care when people complain about Vkei bandmen wearing braids.

They may be significant to some black people but they mean very little to me. I've never worn braids regularly but I've worn my natural hair since I started middle school. Black styles have history but that affects me little in my daily life. People love my natural hair, they complement it and point out characters I look like. I have no personal pain associated with it. I know this influences my opinion.

For me all that matters is:

1. Does it look good or stupid on them?

2. Are they doing it while having racist opinions about black people?


That's about it. I love the photos of Imai with dreads and braids! I think he looks wonderful! And as far as I'm aware he doesn't think poorly of black people! All checks out!

When I see people discuss it they often bring up "Not listening to black people." It's a good sentiment, but black people do not all hold the same opinion. Even if they hold your opinion they will still have someone who could say that to them. At the end of the day people have to think for themselves and come to their own conclusion with what people are telling them. If after that you still think they're racist that's fine, but "Not listening to black people." is a pretty useless thing to say.

Also braids are not a thing unique to only black people? I know there are some that really only black people do but braids as a whole exist everywhere. Is it so scandalous that they simply do another style. Do corn rows and french braids really have that much of a meaningful difference?

I saw a post on Edtwt that was a repost of a tik-tok. It was a lady talking about how she expected to "have a petite daughter" after having her son before cutting to a photo of her large baby. Then it cuts to a lady jokng about how it's recommended to start the generational trauma once they're older.

All but one qrt was acting like this lady was ridiculous. I do not trust a single person on there that says they are feminist because of this. It's SO clear to see that it's sexist. She is perpetuating the idea that women need to be smaller than men, and pushing this idea on to someone that is a baby.

The fact that it was a baby seemed to add to its ridiculousness to people because they won't remember but I truly think that makes it worse. Why are you already enforcing gender stereotypes at a time when men and women share the least differences? What do you think this person is going to say to and expect of their daughter as they get older?

IDK that post just put me off so bad, really, some of the dumbest people in the world with no sense of awareness. I get that they are suffering under these standards too, but come the fuck on. These small things feed into the larger issue.

Twitter is just straight up evil. You can only go back so far on any given profile, and to see old post you have to search for them. If you retweeted something though it won't come up because you can only search the things you tweeted. So many things just lost if you don't save the link else where. -__-

Trying to discussing something on twitter cause I'm annoyed but what they got wrong lead to so many tangents I CAN'T jesus. I just can't stand people being wrong on the internet and doing it while being rude about fujoshi's

I'm so glad I am not terribly active on vkei Twitter now and no longer follow people who annoying me. These bitches have so many sticks up there ass and think it's the most baffling and disgusting thing in the world for people to be sexually attracted to attractive celebrities 😭 like bro we're all freaks here stop trying to distance yourself so hard, just have fun! Also wanting to fuck celebs is so normie it's almost baffling how anyone finds it weird/uncommon like come on now lol

Really shame on me for assuming it's possible to have good convos with complete strangers online, that's on me honestly.

My lack of friends in Twitter rn and good convos else where have made me bold in a way I never was before lul
