Funny how the more I call out @GameWorkers publicly on twitter for lying about their commitment to anti-racist work the more GWU organisers show up in my DMs to tell me to shut up, and now their friends are making up accusations against me. This is so exhausting. Stop it.
Almost as tho @GameWorkers is more interested in protecting its reputation than minimising the harm it has ALREADY CAUSED+continues to cause to POC. Congratulations @GameWorkers one of yr organisers left me horrible enough messages that I spent the evening in tears. Great work.
Not about me. I'm only posting this - extremely personal and excruciatingly private detail - because this harm is real. I have done so much less work FOR @GameWorkers than most POC but its so painful to be accused of lacking compassion + decency when I try to fight for it so hard
This is something that happens to POC who speak up about racism ALL THE TIME. Imagine the courage of people who keep doing it. Imagine the courage it takes to face this when you don't have even MY advantages of financial stability, a platform, steady work despite freelancing &c.
I hope @GameWorkers has a think about structural accountability. I would personally like an acknowledgement of the white supremacy inherent in how complaints about racism and racist behaviour are handled by @GameWorkers and all of their chapters including @GWU_UK my chapter
Fix this. Be accountable @GameWorkers and @GWU_UK - my experience chimes exactly with those of MANY other PoC members MANY of whom have told me of similar stories+treatment within the union. Do not tell POC to be quiet to protect the union. Open YOUR mouths to protect US. Absurd.
Hey @GameWorkers is it possible you deliberately recruit less experienced POC into yr organisation because those of us w more exp recognise bullying + harassment when it comes our way, even in the guise of "leftist politics"? You are racist bullies, & covering for each other.
