This dumb ass mother****er is just upset that the power of the Little Monsters brought "yaaas" to mainstream gay culture. Do you expect royalties? It's a ****ing exclamation.

Okay: "Black people invented 'YASSSSSS!'." Validated now, all set...?

Amazed that this disgusting phrase has left the internet and managed to pervade real life.
Tbh how can they sit there and dictate how someone should act? If a gay man wants to emulate how is it obstructing anyone's rights? This "appropriation" bs is getting a bit ridiculous... Mannerisms and behaviour isn't intellectual property it can't be stolen like UGH this world is so messed up because THIS is what REALLY matters
aren't people usually chided for even associating that kind of ghetto "YAAAAAS honey OK miss thing" type of lingo with black women in the first place? If they really wanna move ahead and abandon stereotypes then black women should leave those embarrassing mannerisms in the rear view mirror and let the gays fiddle with them all they want (it's only gonna deter the demographic that adopts it, i mean who actually wants credit for inventing this embarassing ****? )
You're gonna get in trouble for assuming/painting women as "sassy," but if you adopt those mannerisms yourself you're scolded for "appropriating culture" as if that whole sassy black woman trope is some kind of cherished cultural artifact they need to pick a side of the fence to sit on
Er, someone watch Paris Is Burning, cuz the dialect people use here on ATRL a lot of the time isn't just "stan lingo". It's all a part of ball culture.
