I can't really believe anyone would be serious about this. It's laughable.

It was probably a wh*te person that posted that.

movement. And I don't think it is much of a joke.

(16,191 posts)10. This originally showed up on a Tumblr parody site. It was a joke.
Tumblr is full of joke sites. This particular one is run by a self-described "23, femme-presenting queer trans non-binary two-spirit genderfluid, xe/xir/hir/xirself pronouns, pansexual, PoC (1/16th Native American), white-passing except for hijab, Muslim (convert), neuro-atypical (self-diagnosed aspergers), economically privileged, sex-positive, body-positive, vegan, sociology major, loves Disney." AKA, an SJW parody site.
