¡WARNING RANT AHEAD!
So there I was procrastinating on many projects and I look up and behold, a wattpad notification! I haven't had one of those in ages. I wonder what immature comment I made 2+ years ago someone is replying to.
I check my notifications fully because I love ye olde "W" and what do I see?
SOME BLACK HISTORY MONTH SHIT!
(Before I get cancelled I'm black raised by immagrants and I absolutely love myself--I'm Jin biased what do you expect--BUT I think Black History Month is REALLLY stupid for reasons I will not get into here)
You can imagine my realization, to my dread that it was February 1st. AKA my least favourite month to be anywhere but in my house with the wifi turned off.
Literally rolled my eyes so far into my skull that I think I lost them in there.
Yes wattpad support those black paid stories once a year, this isn't a shallow endeavor at all. Nope. Wattpad isn't making aannnny money. They just want black user to know that they see them and settle into that half-baked post-slavery history regurgitation that we haven't heard a million times.
Wattpad really said, "remember when y'all were slaves? Now give me money!"
Thanks wattpad I feel very loved and appreciated. I absolutely love having my entire existence being reduced to a eurocentric narrative :)
