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

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.)

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

'Allow it' in what regard?

Anyway.

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.

For your consideration 🙃

That aside, nothing about that post is new, per se. Asks like this have been going around for years and are only getting more and more creative the more and more social issues we generate.

Its why on my personal blog, asks like this simply get straight up blocked. I don't just delete them, I flat out block whatever anonymous muppet sent it. On this blog I provide a little bit more leniency, both as an example and because the very nature of this blog is discussing things or pointing out things like why those asks are giant, steaming bait turds.

Some asks will be warranted a smidge of assumed good faith, usually if I suspect its a case of English not being someone's primary language.

But that said; yeah. I fully support the post. Always be wary of asks which try to prod you for virtue signalling on something or asks which try to namedrop others as being a bad person without any attached proof.

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.

Me: Hey, so, actually, for the sake of me not killing myself I would actually love spaces where I can play Animal Crossing or share baking recipes or talk about Captain America showing hole for Iron Man without people sending videos of dead children and police brutality and trauma-dumping their personal issues on me. I also think its important over-all for these spaces to exist and be accessible and protected. Random Idiots Online: So you're a white-privileged racist? You know everything is political, right? You want us to just co-exist with bigots? What about my uncle's daughter's best friend's queer goldish?? What about people being blatantly transphobic in the chat? You're just going to say you hate all black people like that? White pig.
