u can use aave sometimes, but don’t change the entire structure of how u speak to sound black online.. shit line”sis slayed!” or “they was wildin!” is weird bc ur changing sentence structure entirely. if ur just saying swag, who cares it’s not a slur
ppl have issues bc ppl will call it “stan twt language” Like??? shut up
if a black person is uncomfortable tho, if u can help it, don’t use aave
i say if u can help it bc swag is literally a major echolalia thing for me and i’d Get It
ok y’all still have questions so i will clarify:
bad use of aave: this queen has snapped! periodt pooh, this is swag and lit! we good chile! chillin with my homies, we be vibing!
okay use: just saying swag or chill
one is completely imitating black speech patterns, one is just saying words
hiii i just got my phone back! ok i want u guys to keep in mind that i am 16 and not the aave expert or the moral compass of aave, please do research on black terms instead of asking black ppl to educate u + get opinions on what’s okay from more black ppl than just me
certain aave terms like ratchet or ghetto are really bad when used by white ppl, look into those on ur own time
white ppl in my replies entirely missing the point. stop saying “this black person said i couldn’t use aave and they sounded dumb!! thanks” their feelings are valid and i say that in the thread. if ur white u don’t get to say their reaction isn’t justified
Muting this bc people are in my notifs asking if they can say standard southern words. no more
