Tw: Predator Mention - Tumblr Posts

1 year ago

Hi, I'm the original person who sent that "callouts with documented evidence" ask, and I was originally talking about toonimal. Who repeatedly admitted he was a predator. I understand that callout was handled terribly (ex. not blurring victims names) but seeing people reply UNDER THE POST that "well... pedophile has been washed down so much" as if they can't just click "read more" is so frustrating.

Then you tell them to click 'read more' and leave them to their own conclusions. If they want to remain in wilful ignorance that's a them issue. If they were simply being reactive and ill-informed, they can correct themselves.

My original points still stand in reference to your original vague ask, though.

(In that I won't personally begrudge anyone who doesn't immediately jump into the fray on a callout with unwavering faith.)

Unfortunately for those who want to remain stubborn and ignorant there's only so much you can do. Some people are so entrenched in making online culture and community their entire life that its impossible to pry them out of that state of existence and its rules.

I do, unfortunately, know such people in real life and they are fucking impossible to co-exist with even as someone who shares most of their values.
