I am not convinced by this website. Fundamentally it is not very funny, and it just does things like say "white people like cycling hurr hurr they are stupid". In contrast, Black People Love Us is actually funny and says interesting things about the world.

The other thing I don't like about it is the way it takes some perfectly reasonable things - nice sandwiches, wholefoods, bicycles - and then implies that people are stupid for liking them.
However, I salute their mockery of people who stand still at concerts, for all that the Onion beat them to it by many years.

eh, their hatred of non-profits (which includes churches, of course) is confusing. It also implies if a person of any other race than white likes any of the above stuff (expensive sandwiches, charity work, bikes), that they're acting """white"""".
This just sounds like an upper middle class white person's rant against upper middle class white bourgeois culture, like a higher level of some kid's "hipsters 4 f4ags" site.

this blog is like a weird, less obviously evil example of ethan's thing about racial puppetry in right-wing comics--like 80% of the "things white people like" are "liberal" or "hippie" things coded as left-wing in some way, the implicit statement being "if these are things white people like, non-whites must dislike them." therefore non-whites dislike co-ed sports, recycling, "knowing whats best for poor people" (<--- this is the best example of what i mean), etc. not to mention that "white" here is coded (as usual) as "clueless" and "uncool" (im sympathetic to that characterization), so shit like "not shopping at wal-mart" is a totally "clueless" thing to do

upper middle class white bourgeois culture
What's fascinating to me, though, is how this becomes read as "white culture," full stop. Although it's slightly different from what's usually considered "white culture" -- that is, suburban middle-class soccer moms and patio dads, as exemplified in the following:

Kinfolk is definitely hipster stuff as well. I tend to find their aesthetic brighter, prettier and less busy than a lot of similar magazines, though there's obviously a huge overlap with the terrible people in the artisan / Innocent Smoothies threads.

Hipster is a fairly malleable term but the urban-rustic, ecologically-minded, artisan-spoon-whittling thing that defines how most people where I live think of hipsterism is entirely in line with Kinfolk's shtick.

hipster = engaged semi-desperately w/ pop culture, trying to stay ahead of it to maintain a position from which one can sneer at those less aware. therefore, it's constantly in flux. "urban-rustic, ecologically-minded, artisan-spoon-whittling" may for a moment seem hip, thus of interest to hipsters, but this too shall pass. hipster, in general, must be hostile, cynical, suspicious, and hungry to exclude/secede. anything that scans as complacent, domestic, conformist, comfortable, or middle class will eventually become the object of hipster contempt. e.g., the kinspiracy is hipster, kinfolk is just an urban and supposedly sophisticated spin on aspirational lifestyle bullshit.

if we go back to the theory posited by myself and my fellow Phd in Hipster Studies, Mr. Weingarten, that there are circles of hipsterdom, with the center being truly "hipster" and the outer circles having some overlap and proximity, this kinfolk stuff is in one of the outer circles ... understandably associated with hipster culture by someone quite unfamiliar with it, but to hipster scholars, laughably far from it.
― Mistah FAAB (sarahell), Sunday, 1 February 2015 22:50 (nine years ago) link
I maintain that this is a natural evolution of hipsterism that only those close to the ground will truly recognise as such. It doesn't surprise me that those in the ivory towers of academia are taking a while to catch up.

kinspiracy tumblr would have been better without the "white people" bit, just pandering to future denizens of a deeper circle of hell than that represented by the audience for "Kinfolk" itself.
(Surely this has been covered right? That they can't do this "white people" thing again without revealing their essentialist notions of other races? That other races aren't just "naturally creative," as their dopey little joke about making white people feel creative implies? That this is "natural rhythm" territory? That people in other races are just as good at being bourgeois and boring, and shouldn't have to endure a complex about it built around it being "acting white"?)
