1. Only allow WOC.
2. Pillory and pitchfork non WOC.
3. ?????
4. Profit! (a.k.a. safe progressive spaces for WOC)

this is pretty much what i was thinking.

it's unfortunate, but i think it's time for S&R to be for WOC only.

however, if there are approved non WOC allies then maybe they should use a specific icon when they post so we know who they are? i always assume people here are POC until proven otherwise and its a bit jarring to discover they are YT later.

Agreed on all counts. I am tired of coddling non POC, and I am more tired of having to "educate" people. I am damn tired in general.
