I’m a little behind the times; I thought the K-Hive loved the coconut thing.

And what’s with Wonder Woman being involved?

I thought the K-Hive loved the coconut thing.

They did, until the Latino usage of 'coconut'(typically aimed at those born into Latino families, but can't speak a lick of spanish/have no recognizable culture) started coming into vogue and eclipsing her stupid-assed childhood anecdote, for those of us who actually learned from Barry's treacherous ass.

There's a lot more denigrating things I could say to illustrate my point, but the most delicate way I could put this is the Latino usage of 'coconut' lines up with why my community has always been okay with J. Cole, but has no time for Aubrey Graham or what's-her-fuck who thinks she's a cow and minstrels out for the likes of 4channers.

Thanks. I understood that completely. Just for clarity to others in this com, could you maybe type this again but pretend that I’m an elder millennial and aggressively white?

[-] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

Lol

Coconuts are brown on the outside, and white on the inside.

glad im not the only one feeling some type of way about doja cat lmao

I aggressively tried to forget that walking garbage fire then she shaved off her hair and started acting like she WANTED barber shop oldheads to start talking about how she was an illuminati puppet and uggggggggggggggggggh i just want her to go away

Cupcakke is preferable by every conceivable metric

[-] yoink@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

nah agree Cupcakke is actually and continually subversive, but doja cat I only ever see pop up when it feels like she's finally left the conversation

not at all surprised the channer is trying to play some illuminati angle, engagement farming for tiktok and doing nothing for the culture

Where on latinamerica is coconut used as a slur? Not in Brazil, Colombia or Argentina on my experience.

[-] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 month ago

I've heard it outta mexicans and puerto ricans myself

[-] RedWizard@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

I'm also lost. Is it because she's using it but not as a show of support for mother?

[-] autismdragon@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

The coconut is being used by succdem "leftist" people on twitter not the DNC shills that make up the actual KHive. So the actual KHive people don't like it.

can someone get me up to speed, why is the coconut thing bad?

[-] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 26 points 1 month ago

If you squint and twist your head it looks racist and that accusation deflects from her dumb coconut allegory

[-] Dolores@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

her dumb coconut allegory

[-] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 1 month ago

Oh, it's cause she's brown on the outside, but silken-lily-white on the in--

The fact that it's so fitting is part of why it upsets them so much
