You& #39;re making a LOT of projections.

We& #39;re on a platform that *facilitates* general consumption, but we primarily consume what we want. This is why I seldom have white supremacist/hotep shit on my TL.

Also, who are you to determine what words and language are "needless?" https://twitter.com/KBTM30/status/1139583767524384768">https://twitter.com/KBTM30/st...

This is y& #39;all projecting your own preferences (and hangups), and selfishly assuming that everything needs to be for your own consumption.

There are SO many folks #onhere who express their politics via "accessible" language. Why do we need that from *everyone*?

Why CAN& #39;T Black folks be allowed to lean into more academic jargon if that& #39;s how they feel comfortable expressing themselves. Why can& #39;t we have variety?

Like...at the end of the day, we& #39;re ALL literally using a language that was violently forced onto us via colonialism.

At the *very* least, we should have the autonomy to decide exactly how we wanna express ourselves within the confines of that language.

And I totally get that a lot of folks use "academic jargon" in a performative way, but I think it& #39;s unfair to assume that& #39;s universal.

ALSO? All of this shit is subjective af, anyway. lol

While it& #39;s uncommon, I& #39;ve gotten criticism for using jargon-heavy language before. And that& #39;s not a new complaint for a lot of writers. What& #39;s simple to you may still be too complex to someone else.

Again, who are you to decide what& #39;s "needless" (or "nonsense")?

And again, you& #39;re projecting. lol

If you only wanna consume certain kinds of language, that& #39;s fine! But everything does not have to be for you. His chosen expression ain& #39;t hurting anyone. https://twitter.com/KBTM30/status/1139587886305677312">https://twitter.com/KBTM30/st...
