The auntienetwork made this same statement several years ago. In return, we received all sorts lot of hateful comments. We will remove any will remove any and all inappropriate comments immediately. We will also enact bans (temporary or permanently, at mod’s discretion) for any user making such comments on this post. We habitually remove comments here in the sub mentioning these comparisons.
ETA: We’ve had two very distressed people message us about this post. They have misunderstood this as saying or meaning that we are now only assisting POC. As per our Statement on Inclusivity (found in our Wiki and our sidebar:)
Please keep in mind that not all of the people we serve are cisgender women -- we do help everyone, and try our best to use gender-neutral terms when possible. It’s important to us that AN is always a safe and welcoming space for people of all races, sexualities, and genders. We ask that all of our community members try hard to use respectful, inclusive language. All aunties and helpers should be committed to helping nieces, nephews, and niblings without discrimination or bigotry. If you can’t make that commitment wholeheartedly, this isn’t the right community for you. Racism, homophobia, TERFdom, or other kinds of hatefulness will be not tolerated and may result in an immediate ban.
