I’m sorry if this offends anyone, but Somali men have ruined our reputation online far more than Somali women ever have—by a mile. Let me explain:
• That Yusuf guy
• troll accounts going around calling people j***** unprovoked. I get and support it when it’s in response to posts degrading Somalis, but some videos show people being nice about Somalis, and you’ll still find men in the comments throwing j*r**r around for no reason. Even though it’s not a slur, madow people are just overly sensitive.
• The wedding attire debate: Somali men refusing to wear traditional attire because they don’t like how it looks.
• Cussing Somali women: Constantly dragging Somali women online, often unprovoked.
• Telegram group chats: Need I say more?
• That redpill Twitter accounts The most hated Somali account spreading nonsense.
• Teaching ajnabis our language: Using Somali to let outsiders make jokes and mock us.
• Somali TikTok skits: Some of these just make us look like a complete joke.
• Barkhad Abdi’s no offense to him
And sure, Somali women embarrass us sometimes too, but let’s be honest—it’s mostly the men. This online policing within the community needs to stop. I don’t care what ajnabis think of us, but the way some of us act online is making things worse for everyone.
Let’s wrap this up, seriously
