@lizzyflanagan i think ppl feel a lack of control in their lives bc of a bunch of reasons, including seeing the worst types of ppl get away w horrible actions, and so dogpiling on some stranger on the internet feels like 'justice' to them.
@LaPulga22408@tchouaurelien I was inactive for years on this account bc I have a life outside of twitter and dont compare ppls level of interest in a sport depending on how often they post. touch grass and calm down.
@spencer13451201 hmm i think i get what u mean. personally i was not really upset when i saw a drive having a fanfic i wrote, bc when i uploaded it to ao3 i knew the download button was available to anyone.
but i can also understand why others might be upset and have different boundaries.
@spencer13451201 yes but the epubs of ao3 ffs have the details of the work including authors name. when u upload a work on ao3 anyone can press the visible download button at the top of the work.
ofc if a writer specifically asks for their work to not be on any drives, that should be respected.
@rooskayaa idk abt that last bit. i paid attention to his campaigning and he started it early as hell and did same amount as the rest. it just wasnt getting clicks lol.
every single argument on twitter now is just buzzword buzzword buzzword buzzword buzzword where no real points are being made and no real solutions are being accepted. everyone is just fighting for the sake of fighting and it's so fucking exhausting to see
Not saying u have to be friends or even like ex bigots, but it's hypocritical that we argue that we live in patriarchal, white supremacist societies and still act shocked that the average person had to unlearn any bigotry.
Because this holier than thou act is so tired, one look through some of y'all ancient accounts and we can see some not very woke things that you'll just defend with "that's different" "that's not the same" "it doesn't mean that" "I'm neurodivergent, poc, lefthanded, ocd"
two things can be true at the same time:
1) you do not have to forgive/befriend people who said offensive things in the past. especially not if it directly affected you.
2) people can change and grow from their past. it is the ideal outcome, actually.
You know what really bugs me these days? We can't own anything anymore. Everything is a subscription. Adobe, Notion, Spotify. You don't just buy things once, you keep paying every month. You literally have to pay for everything forever. Isn't anyone else bothered by this?
Hating asexuals has to be rooted in rape culture because why else would you be THAT upset that someone is sexually inaccessible? Like why else would you care?
@dekuvape pls dont apologise omg 😭 tbh it might be an issue on my end bc i read the post with good intentions, aka they were Not trying to claim that it is acceptable to call it a phase, but that then u better apply that logic to other offensive situations too.
@dekuvape ofc it should not be encouraged.
but i assumed the person was aiming at hypocrites who only grasp that it's wrong to call a form of prejudiced thinking "a phase" when its smth that directly affects them, meanwhile they did similar shitty things just to another group of people.
@dekuvape@Zhane_Star how exactly is the post by astralwingz saying everyone has gone through a racist phase...? thats the person we are all replying under. thats the tweets i am referring to.
@dekuvape my reply was in regards to what astralwings said and m replied to.
i read astralwings post as an observation that was branching off from the quoted, to point out that SOME people are hypocrites abt it. which is true.
