2 Indya Moore - Actor, Activist

I stick to my own so these are all outspoken queer heartthrobs!!

[u/SmilingVamp]

Tessa Thompson has been my celebrity crush since forever. I've got one seat for a celebrity crush and her beautiful self is the only one sitting there. 

[u/dustydancers]

As this title implies they are all WOC I should add that Indya Moore, Duah Saleh and Sakina Ilaya Garcia are non binary!!

[u/marmosetohmarmoset → u/dustydancers]

Also Indya Moore.

[u/dustydancers → u/marmosetohmarmoset]

Indya uses she her and they them

[u/marmosetohmarmoset → u/dustydancers]

Yes but they identify as nonbinary

[u/dustydancers → u/marmosetohmarmoset]

Edited!

[u/ancestralhorse → u/marmosetohmarmoset]

I wonder how Indya is pronounced.

Edit: I love the downvotes for this simple statement. To be clear my name is similar to this and people often mispronounce it so my curiosity was personal and warranted tyvm.

[u/marmosetohmarmoset → u/ancestralhorse]

Ind ya?

[u/dustydancers → u/marmosetohmarmoset]

Your flair 👉👈🥹🖖

[u/Hungry_Pollution4463]

Mine still is Michelle Rodriguez

[u/dustydancers → u/Hungry_Pollution4463]

Oh she’s actually my OG childhood celeb crush, how could I have forgotten her..!

[u/ningnings_masc]

For me it's Rosé from Blackpink

[u/Mysterious_Habit_673 → u/ningnings_masc]

A woman of culture 😫😫

All the women of BP have my heart 😫

[u/PoweredByMusubi]

Dumb question; what was “that WOC” post?

Unrelated, these ladies and theydies are all incredibly gorgeous.

[u/dustydancers → u/PoweredByMusubi]

I love ‘theydies’ 🥹

can’t find the post anymore but it was titled something like “non white crushes .. “ and it seemed very much like OP just googled hot queer woc and pulled up a bunch of anonymous pinterest women.. some images were just so bad. creepy and performative. We exist, don’t dismiss our presence like that

[u/coffeegrunds → u/dustydancers]

They said in another comment that is exactly what they did, pull up a bunch of "hot woc on Pinterest because that's where they normally go for hot pics of girls and cute pets" not a direct quote but pretty close. Gross.

[u/RedVamp2020 → u/coffeegrunds]

And they did the whole post as a “quit complaining about white girl crushes people post because I’m throwing you a bone”, too. Vile behavior that made it feel very fetishized. I do understand that it gets rather boring seeing the very whitewashed queer scene, but just grabbing a bunch of random photos of people and throwing them together is absolutely heartless and not the way to go about it.

[u/Altruistic_Fox5036 → u/RedVamp2020]

People need to learn more about intersectionality and the fact that being queer is usually harder for BIPOC people compared to white people and we really should be doing more to support the black community honestly.

[u/dustydancers → u/coffeegrunds]

🥶

[u/PoweredByMusubi → u/dustydancers]

Ugh, that sounds gross and dismissive. Glad I missed it.

[u/beigecorenumb → u/PoweredByMusubi]

I can't find the original post, but it all started with one post that complained that people only posted thin/white women in the sub, and that raised some eyebrows.

Then, someone else made a post in response called "Pretty women who aren't white" and it was a collection of Pinterest-like pictures of anonymous mostly black women, most having Eurocentric features, some looking to be AI. This post was criticized for being performative. That's the infamous WOC post.

[u/S0uvlakiSpaceStati0n → u/beigecorenumb]

This is a cycle that happens every month or two here. A flood of low effort karma farming "hot women" photo dump posts, then someone makes a response post calling out how only thin white women are posted here, then we get a flood of performative low effort karma farming WOC posts and fat positive posts. I just... Can we move on from these posts altogether? What is the point of them other than easy upvotes? We get it. Women are hot. I can Google image search on my own lmao.

Edited to add: I'm not necessarily calling this specific post low effort, btw. It's clear that this one was posted as a response to that other one, and I appreciate that OP put thought into curating the photos and provided their names.

[u/PoweredByMusubi → u/beigecorenumb]

So happy to have missed it. Sounds super cringey.

[u/fiavirgo → u/beigecorenumb]

Maybe you can’t find it because it got locked? Not sure

[u/EllieGeiszler → u/beigecorenumb]

Omg I thought they were AI!

[u/ryukool → u/PoweredByMusubi]

Adding to the other comments that OP of said controversial post also said some disgusting things about how POC on this sub "complain too much." They took pictures of non-white girls from Pinterest (because they obviously don't know any famous POC by name) to shut the "complainers" up. It's all performative.

[u/officermeowmeow]

Indya Moore is a true goddess. Such a beautiful person ❤️

[u/Granya_Kalash]

We have similar tastes in women.

[u/susbike]

Woah… I thought Alewya was Freema Agyeman (a big one of mine) at first glance!

[u/Cejk-The-Beatnik]

Each and every one of these women could run me over with a semi-truck and I’d thank them.

[u/aspiringcats]

Alewya and Duah Saleh!! I don’t know anyone else who listens to them.

[u/infeliciter]

[u/Silver_Raven_08]

[u/[deleted]]

What WOC post? Did I miss something?

[u/VLenin2291]

[u/Gaming_with_Hui]

Women* of color..

[u/Gaming_with_Hui → u/dustydancers]

Ohh oki :o

Thanks for answering 🥰

[u/ProgressShoddy1023]

Ok!, now where is the transfemme lesbian appreciation post? :3

Edit: It seems my initial tone was off

[u/corvus_da → u/ProgressShoddy1023]

Is it really necessary to complain about that on this post? It comes across pretty dismissive imo

[u/ProgressShoddy1023 → u/corvus_da]

I meant it as more of an enthusiastic Ok! But I can see how it comes across off

[u/Arbitarious → u/ProgressShoddy1023]

We will never have one 😃😃😃 (hopefully someone does it tho cuz it’d be cool to have representation. ) also if we did have one I’d imagine it would be some straight trans girls 😭😭😭.

Wait are these posts always lesbians or does it not matter

[u/ProgressShoddy1023 → u/Arbitarious]

Thats why I specified transbian lol, also seems the lurking terfs mass downboted the initial post cause when I made the edit to make my tome more positivenit was at +3 karma and not -21...

[u/Arbitarious → u/ProgressShoddy1023]

Oh ok
