I Really Want To Ask About Something Regarding The Free Palestine. Do You Allow It?

I really want to ask about something regarding the Free Palestine. Do you allow it?

'Allow it' in what regard?

Can I tell you why I don't like the anti community anymore? It's okay if you don't but I just need to get it off my chest given I saw someone acting like a victim when their blog was deleted for targeted bullying lol.

But it shouldn't have taken me as long as it did to realize, but I've watched anti's for a while - especially a handful in the ficitonal other / self shipping community, who just absolutely vague and bully those who don't agree with them off this website and out of the comm. It's a community that's supposed to be safe and comfortable with the idea of shipping with fiction characters but 'oh no if you ship with that one you're problematic, you will be vagued about it and we will do everything possible to put you don't til you leave or we start targeted harassment til you're forced to leave'.

It's so wild to me that this space, any space, that preaches being as inclusive as possible and non-judgemental has a long, long list of rules of what can and can not be and if you over step that line, you will no longer be allowed within that space. Their anti space is super bad this kind of stuff. They sit on the idea of being 'morally better' while also being absolutely nasty, not communicating properly when something makes them uncomfortable ( ie making the choice to vague post instead ) and bullying everyone who disagrees with them.

I don't know. It just bothers me so much. You hate to see it but if I had to say 'this is what changed my perspective', that would be it. How can on think themselves the 'moral better' while making others feel like the lowest dirt and isolating them from the community they enjoyed?

Welcome, oh ye enlightened one.

(But on a more serious note, yeah. Most anti spaces are just a cesspit of people tearing apart the weakest link and scrambling to be the Pure One.)

By the way if you send me snot-nosed massive rants bending over ass backwards and tying yourself into knots to create the most victimised "exception" to that one safe space post I wrote, you're just straight up getting blocked.

I'll read the first few lines up until it becomes apparent what you've sent and then I'm skipping over all 14 paragraphs to the end to hit BLOCK.

Stop wasting your time. Stop wasting mine. I don't care what you have to say and nobody else is going to see your white knighting.

(The person who sent me the ask is blocked so won't see this but for future reference to the rest of you.)

yo, are ye in any gamin fandom, or what dya like to watch/read?

Gaming-wise I'm pretty versatile. Genshin and Wuthering Waves (try as I might, the turn-based combat and limited world exploration in Honkai bored me) are my usual pass-the-times.

Red Dead, COD and The Forest are some of the ones I play when I really want to settle down and game. BG3 is on my to-get list.

Reading-wise I'm currently reading Talking with Psychopaths and Savages. Its actually a really interesting read and I'd highly recommend it, even if you're only casually into psychology. Its a more brutally honest and personal delve into dealing with and being around true psychopaths and the intricacies of living in total apathy. Its a mixture of clinical and just... Talking, which I find pleasant and easier to follow.

Fandoms I sort of bounce around like a marble. I'll look into anything and I try to stay peripherally aware of most fandoms since that's somewhat essential to this blog.

Hey. Just wanted to give you some anon love and support. Sorry people insist on taking everything in bad faith. Your post about vent channels and needing space away from the horrors of reality was spot on. The 'don't you dare look away' mentality has done immeasurable damage to my mental health over the years, and it pisses me off that it's still so prevalent. Thanks for speaking out in support of people taking care of their mental health. It's greatly appreciated. <3

People will always take something in bad faith, for better or worse the world isn't a hivemind. I always look at them as opportunities to educate—and that even if my words don't reach that individual, hopefully they may yet reach someone else.

As I've taken to saying; if you stand too close to the flames you'll choke on the smoke.

Everyone needs respite. Everyone needs spaces which are disallowing of trauma. Everyone loves to talk about how important mental health is until you point out that an individual's mental health takes precedence over their "obligation" to be an activist on behalf of the whole world.

We all need respite. We can't put out fires if we're burning alive ourselves. Its basic humanity.

Ahem.

You don't have to share those spaces. Bigotry is still bigotry. The original point was in absolutely no way saying "you have to share spaces with bigots" and if that's what you took from it honestly; that's a you issue.

"Depending on the server, vent channels could be useful." Sure. Just not in spaces where, as per my post, they are not welcome. Saying vent spaces can be useful is completely irrelevant to my point that spaces wherein they are barred are just as useful and important.

Have a day.

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.
