its harder to explain if youre not a native english speaker, but it mostly boils down to being a form of cultural appropriation, and sometimes even online blackface. even without malicious intent, it should be avoided if possible. i get how it can be confusing though if you dont live in an english speaking country and only see it being used online

I see! I'll try to avoid it but can't promise anything. my brain has long stopped being able to absorb languages differently lmao. thanks for educating me though
