  I try to not yuck anybodies yum but… 
  That yum is a little hard not to yuck. Like… it’s like RACK where I’m pretty sure you’d be better off processing that stuff in therapy than the bedroom >_<;
context: They should announce a ban on hidden fees >
  
  If they really wanted to take a stand against slavery, they'd ban hosts from asking renters to mow the lawn and take out the trash. >
  
  What the fuck? >
  
  Pretty performative.  Instead of addressing the tangible harm airbnb is currently doing by screwing with the housing market,  delist "offensive" locations that no one wants to live at anyway. >
  
  Why not both? >
  
  I just don't understand why you would want to stay in one of these. >
  
  Better than some rentals I've seen >
  
  That's really part of the problem. Now, I'm sure many of the people who lived in these as slaves kept them as clean and nice as they could, out of dignity and just because people like a clean home. But these are so nice that they take away just how horrific the actual conditions of slavery are. 
  And think about who are renting these. Think of rhe white people who want to be told that slavery wasn't so bad. >
  
  "holy shit, these slaves had heat, power, satellite TV AND a jacuzzi!!! What were they complaining about???" >
  
  The only market I can see for that is parents punishing ungrateful kids with a history lesson on how hard their relatives had it and those BDSM people into weird race play.
  Ew ew ew. >
  
  Nothing wrong with people doing weird role-playing. Fuck, I'm sure for some black people, it's probably helpful and empowering to be able to have some level of control over such a narrative. 
  I just don't get why anyone else would want to rent these.
