> whitespace > Assigns value connotations based on color (white = good), an act which is subconsciously racialized. How exactly is whitespace good? It's like they pick out every word where "white" is used and say "but wait1!!!11! you can't use this because you're reinforcing the dynamic that white=good" It's like they're telling people "don't think of the white elephant" with this white=good thing. Nobody was thinking about it before they brought it up, now we're thinking about it In order for anyone to "get the message" of this and be able to create their own rules, they have to internalize the idea of white=good. Wasn't this the exact reason for creating the rules in the first place, that is to say not telling people white=good? edit: I don't think the point of this is to come up with a system that makes sense, the point is to come up with a system that doesn't make sense. The point is to be as contradictory and annoying as possible in order to get as much attention as possible. If stupid people in academia want to be annoying and act like children, they should just be ignored and treated like the children they are. We're in the wrong here even giving these people attention to begin with
