I Am Actually Begging Some People To Just Let Some Spaces Exist Untouched By Real-world Issues And Horrors.

I am actually begging some people to just let some spaces exist untouched by real-world issues and horrors.

Like I've lost count of the amount of times peaceful game or fandom servers have been ruined by people stampeding in with political rants, bitching about world issues, demanding internal activism, demanding vent channels so they can whine about their shitty parents, ect.

Like. Respectfully. Not every single space has to be inclusive of and welcoming of outside topics. The real world sucks. We don't needed to be reminded of that absolutely everywhere.

Actually after making this post I'm begging people to learn critical thinking skills and media literacy. In what world do you see me say "actually not every space is obligated to provide a sounding board for you to be negative" and conclude that what I'm actually saying is racists and bigots should be allowed to run rampantly without consequence?

People like you are why other people get activism and compassion burnout.

Imagine having a get together with friends to celebrate another friend graduating or getting a job, and then one of them (who the get together is not for) spends the next few hours just venting about their life and doesn't even consider anyone else, and when confronted about it, said person starts saying they're being censored.

That's what some of those replies sound like.

The unfortunate reality is that most of the people would still argue that that person has a right to do what they're doing and you're bad people for not allowing them the space and opportunity to outlet their emotions.

Suffering in solidarity and festering in misery are not noble causes. Forcing enlightenment and activism into every single space is a quick way to ensure people stop caring and stop fighting for causes effectively.

Nobody is going to pat you on the back for forcing other people into depression and burnout and ill health in the name of grandstanding honor and activism. We're all just going to think you're an ignorant cunt who certainly won't be getting an invite to the next party.

Welp. Childhood memory of an event that counts as literal csa has just been unlocked again. I know it's cause of one of your posts, can't remember which one,but something about the didactic and reasonable tone in any of your posts is at the back of my mind when I think about this memory, y'know, validating me and explaining it. Because tbh I don't want to imagine what i'd be like if I hadn't discovered the Proship stance and the philosophies that come with it because fuck knows what my guardian would have said about this but it would have been 30% purity culture, talkless of what sort of horrific mindspace would I have fell into if I still believed any of the bullshit I've seen antis spew.

Thanks for creating this blog and speaking on issues the way you do.

I'm glad that I can help you to navigate your experience and journey. While I do have a lot of fun sometimes resorting to things like memes or I do make posts while actively irritated, I try to keep every genuine point and post I have as easy to understand and as calm as I can. Information is easier to process when it is simple and smooth.

Omg that post. (About not every space needing to be political) The amount of people who need every single little "what if this" "what if that" explained to them. It hurts. You cannot account for every single exception or situation and I'm damn well sure they know that but God. They want everyone to hold their hand. Stay strong. You got this.

I'm in a couple of servers that refuse to have dedicated vent spaces and they're very fun to be in and don't have drama. It works.

Yeah, the amount of people who are reading it and immediately launching into accusations of perpetrating racism and bigotry is... Concerning, to say the least. It just goes to show how far we've been pushed into believing that everything is offensive and that unless we're 24/7 "fighting bigotry" that we are the problem.

At this point I've stopped actually attempting to reason with any of them. If they're unwilling to read the literal thousands of other responses detailing why these spaces are viable and necessary, they are simply unwilling to acknowledge they are wrong. Its memes and eye rolling from here on out.
