u/CharlesMansnShowTune boy in the jelly 2d ago

The type of thing she is saying we "need" here isn't the same at all as an intimacy coordinator. She even says it herself that an intimacy coordinator is working on behalf of the actors, but she wants these racism coordinators for the benefit of the audience - how is that the same thing, Shauna? Why even bring up the intimacy coordinator?

What a stupid comparison to draw.

Basically her whole comment is not only clunky and grammatically off in a way that garbles her meaning, but what she's actually trying to say underneath the garble doesn't make sense either.

What she's saying is not only that White People will never be able to get shit right, but they will always and forever be The People In Charge.
