In the few weeks since I've returned to both Tumblr and Mastodon (following the slow death of the bird app), both of my timelines have been a veritable tapestry of what I tend to call the "weaponization of white weirdness"

specifically the fear of white folks who dominate specific subcultural spaces that the inclusion of more people who weren't already part of a subculture will somehow alter the cultural aesthetics, mores, etc

very "there goes the neighborhood" syndrome
