There’s that weird gray zone that’s neither ‘death threats’ nor ‘suicide baiting’ where people just like to send you graphic descriptions of the violent, dehumanizing things they wish would happen to you, like some kind of moral loophole.
“Death/rape threats are immoral and illegal! That’s why I’m merely describing in vivid detail a fantasy I have about what I think someone else should do to you. Not little old me, though! And not by your own hand – that would be suicide baiting! I’m just praying to God that it happens, and I want you to have this imagery in your brain forever.”
It’s called harassment. If it includes anything sexualized, it’s sexual harassment. 99% of the time, the “protect children” or “protect the lgbt community (from fakers)” screechers are the real predators.
Ditto the people who want to claim they didn’t send a death threat because they just said they wanted to hurt you 🙄 Like whomstever once said they wished they could get a car and come run me over.
I mean, they don’t care whether this is harassment or death threats or suicide baiting. They justify it to themselves by claiming they’re defending the community from inclusionists, or… don’t even bother justifying it at all. Like, I think the car one was because I had said some fucking celebrity was bi, which is… quite a reaction.
But it’s important for the people who get this shit to know that it’s abuse, and that it’s not okay. It’s important to know that your community recognizes that, and doesn’t endorse treating anybody like that.
The underlying message of “this person deserved this abuse, because ___________” is always “and if you don’t act the way I want, you’ll ‘deserve’ it too.”
you know, as someone who took years to realize that “graphic threats of violence are abuse”, one of the biggest mindfucks on tumblr is the fact that a large part of this website thinks that this kind of behavior is not only ok, but should be encouraged, as long as the abuse is directed at the “right” target.
it’s really awful to see people normalize abuse (which is what bullying and harassment is!) by calling it cool, funny, and progressive. it’s disgusting to see people say things like “bullying teaches social skills”, some people need to be shamed into being normal, calling people freaks, while also turning around and saying things like “death to cringe culture!” either you think it’s acceptable to abuse others or you don’t. if you engage in this kind of behavior you are an abusive person you’re no different than someone who abuses their partner but draws the line against kicking the dog. stop trying to justify why it’s ok to abuse some people (namely: the people you want to abuse, and not you or your friends) and stop being abusive.
the best way to play Pokemon games is like you’re an 8 year old. IV? EV? Shiny chaining? Nah. We catch pokemon because they look cool. if my pokemon is bashful or whatever that means nothing to me.
As you celebrate thanksgiving, know that the Trump administration is taking away 321 acres of land from the Mashpee-Wampanoag, the tribe that helped the pilgrims survive and were present at the first thanksgiving. Tell legislators to support the Mashpee Reservation Reaffirmation Act. ]
If the tribe cannot retain control of the 321 acres in Mashpee and Taunton, it will be unable to build a planned $1 billion resort casino there. But the larger issue, members said, is the tribe’s cultural and moral claim to the land, which lies not far from where the Wampanoag greeted the Pilgrims who founded Plymouth Colony and later joined them in the first Thanksgiving.
though they are the closest relative of the north american wild turkey, the ocellated turkey looks wildly different in appearance, and while still being a large bird, is much smaller. this turkey is found only in a small range of mexico and an even tinier portion of south america. both males and females have a distinctive blue head and bright feathers with a metallic sheen. ocellated turkeys feed off of fruits, plant matter, and insects, and forage on the ground in flocks. at night they roost in trees to avoid predators such as jaguars, but spend the majority of their time on the ground.
everyone sharing their twitters and other social media in case of this website experiencing an all-out collapse. not me. use the information you’ve learned about me to track me down. piece together the cryptic clues i have left throughout my blog over the years in preparation of this day to decipher the location of our future meeting. i’ll be waiting
Donate if you can, and even if you can’t, spend some time this November educating yourself about the history of the very-much-still-alive tribe that sat down with the pilgrims, the continued history of colonization in America, and about the tribe/s whose land you are occupying.
