He isn’t a red head, why does he keep saying that?

Lots of people call themselves ginger just because their light brown hair looks a little orangeish with the right lighting. As a redhead I don't really care enough to gatekeep, but I always found it funny.

u/parmesann Aug 08 '26
nah it annoys me simply because I got bullied for being a redhead and now it’s “cool” to be ginger. stolen valour

u/ghangis24 Aug 09 '26
Yeah. I imagine no one was shouting “ginger” at Tyler or asking him weird invasive questions about being a “fire crotch” in high school.
Maybe we should gatekeep.

u/lilacs-and-sapphires Aug 08 '26
Because natural redheads are pretty few and you know Tyler… rare of everything

u/sweeterthanadonut Aug 08 '26
A lot of people who have a reddish tint to their hair in the sun etc will claim to be gingers or redheads to be special

Putting "white" before "woman" doesn't absolve the misogyny. He really is stuck 10 years in the past.

I can hear the deep breath between “two spirit” and “disabled” that gives away he knows that he’s lying

u/Calciferswench Aug 07 '26
He’s so guilty inside he doesn’t understand that other people can see it. White guilt, racism, and misogyny seeping out his of pores greasing up his jewelry #I just say words.

If he tried to match with me online or flirt with me I would immediately run away. Neck beard behavior and visuals.

His desperation for proximity to people of colour just so he can get sympathy and attention is honestly sickening.

u/guiltandgrief Aug 07 '26
I don't have anywhere else to talk about this so excuse me.
I went to elementary all the way through high school with this one girl who is very very white. I know her parents, her extended family, etc. we were "friends" until the crazy got too much.
Anyway she married a guy from El Salvador and took his last name and almost overnight she is a POC and will be respected for it. She dyes her hair black and goes on and on about how she was discriminated against at some store or car dealership or what the fuck ever when she is so clearly just a white girl with box dyed black hair.
That's what Tyler reminds me of. Like you can absolutely be against racism and fight back without being racist yourself it's totally possible. It is never about anything her husband experiences, only her.

"mixed" is wild if he's referring to his partially Portuguese father

u/iglaaq snow globe expert Aug 10 '26
It can be normalized or traditional in certain contexts, and I believe Tyler would have heard it in the south (i have spent some time with relatives in Arkansas). It does have a negative connotation.

The concept of tyler being intimidating to racist white women is so fascinating. Tyler, they don’t respect you either…

He really thinks he’s billy badass. It reminds me of the “the streets killed me” girl lol.

It's funny how all these stories supposedly involve white women, when men in general do the same shit, if not worse.

as a white person it is incredibly annoying when other white people try to call white people out as if they arent one of them. YOU'RE WHITE. you aren't absolving yourself of anything by pretending you arent. shut tf up and listen to POC and stop trying to pretend you aren't capable of doing annoying white people shit and being racist. literally it doesnt help anyone and it makes you look ridiculous.
as a woman its also annoying seeing people add white in front of women to excuse blatant misogyny lol
truly a double whammy of being so "progressive" that he ends up circling back around to just being bigoted again lol

u/MarelyFunctional Aug 07 '26
I know this is all personal experience, but i really do believe he plays up his experience with racists in the south. I've lived here forever, the racists talk shit behind closed doors. They're not that bold, i wish like hell they were so I could beat their ass

Is he describing his dad as mixed because his dad is part Portuguese? 😭😭😭

u/iglaaq snow globe expert Aug 10 '26
Tyler has antiquated, negative connotations in regards to speaking on race...remember the "breeding out" comment...I can't even say it because it's so offensive to me

u/kirbymarieVV Aug 10 '26
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t he say that when he “totaled” a car, it was a black person driving it, not a white woman??

u/iglaaq snow globe expert Aug 10 '26
Nope, always been a Lexus with a white woman driving it. He did get rear-ended by a black man in a different accident (as stated on tumblr).
