Midstofspring - Evolving. Poet. Lover

I’m going to point out some weird things about @projecttrinity‘s upcoming visual novel “Women of Xal” in relation to this site.

1) It’s an upcoming Kickstarter bound otome game that very obviously is PoC / People of Color & WoC/ Women of Color centric. We’ve got a bi female lead with several romancable women. And it’s in a harsh matriarchal society ready to give some brutal parallels to our own. Being helmed by a very capable and snarky Black writer. The two programmers are women. The artists are women. The singers are women. One of the animators is a woman. AND THERE’S TANGIBLE QUALITY TO IT! I thought we’ve been asking for more projects like this for years now. But Tumblr has been the most quiet of the four sites it’s updating on??? (Youtube, Facebook, LemmSoftForums, Tumblr) 

2) How are hateful anons finding this project before everyone else? Why are we letting Black creatives feel like the anon has a point about Tumblr not caring? Isn’t this site notorious for propping up content like this? Where are my feminists at?!

Like, I truly get it: Most of you will have only just heard of this. And Tumblr didn’t make it easy in the first place. Tags and timing are madly important. But so are reblogs and follows! You’re reading this now - there’s nothing truly stopping you from showing that anon the middle finger. For every time WE DON’T JUST ‘HEART’ A CREATIVE’S POST and reblog/follow their content, we prove hateful anons like this wrong. And every time we prove them wrong, we send an encouraging message to other minorities who want to share their passions with the world, but face that uphill battle.

And hey, the writer clearly has faith in this site still:

You can find out more about the project here.

Or, better yet, follow, and support the team here!

(Bonus Note: If you’re someone who has been reblogging a lot of content from this team as well, cheers, fellow sisters! <3)

im noticing yall are sugarcoating and trying your best not to say who it was that raped Oluwatoyin… they were black men. idgaf about the image yall want to portray to the world… the reality of the situation is a 19 year old girl who spent her time protesting for the justice of black people was raped and assaulted by BLACK MEN!

when talking about the tragedy that this innocent young girl had to face, imma need yall to speak with your whole chest stop hiding what really happened! she wrote everything on her twitter!

SHE WAS A CHILD!! AND SOMEONE KILLED HER FOR SPEAKING ABOUT HER ABUSE!!! WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH SAY HER FUCKING NAME, SAY WHAT HAPPENED TO HER AND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE!

HER NAME IS OLUWATOYIN SALAU!!! SHE WAS 19!!! SHE WAS RAPED BY MEN OF HER OWN COMMUNITY!!! ACKNOWLEDGE IT!!

Me when I catch somebody disrespecting Black Women:
