keep in mind i say all of this as an anarchist, but i'm nearly damn ashamed to admit to that when everyone on fedi is a performative anarchist. none of these people have read a lick of theory, and hey, neither have i, but they sure don't pretend to even understand the bare fundamentals of anarchism.
anyways this has been your bi-weekly rant from ibly about dumb antis, tune in next time where an anti is found shooting another anti for liking feral porn idk
name me an leftist that plasters anarchist labels all over their name, bio, and laptop, and i'll give you one that also thinks that some people do deserve to be jailed and executed, despite that flying against the most basic anarchist tenants
it's the aesthetic that draws these people in; they like the idea of being an "anarchist queer" without the actual thought processes that go behind this
thus you get anarchists who think that cub art is the exact same thing as CSAM, thus putting CSA survivors like me on blast for drawing this art .-. they're the kindsa people who post my instance to fediblock, after all
oh and it's especially damning that queers are deciding to talk about this when, i don't know, our existence is being legislated away by people who are literally putting into law that "anything that icks people should be banned"
yeah you show them, legitimize that movement so they can throw us into concentration camps faster, you fuckwit liberals masquerading as "anarchist leftists"
apparantly there's a lotta posts going around on "normal" fedi bitching about baraag
i'm unable to spot them because i'm in the Cool circles that don't give a shit about this stuff, but man, it's wild people are still fixated on that instance huh
i don't like the chuds that inhabit the instance ofc, but people fixate on the "wahhhh the artist said they're X years old" stuff, with most of the people bitching conveniently leaving out the part where they like art that depicts feral, rape, incest, etc.
it's fine when it's my kink, but when it's your kink it's bad and immoral and you should die
re: reference to cub art, the passage of time@puppy funny thing is, i would've considered giving it another look... if they didn't ban my inactive account years ago for being hijacked, and categorically refusing to unban it lol
they could've gotten 20 entire dollars from me if they did that smh
re: reference to cub art, the passage of time@puppy yeah, i'm surprised it became a gigantic thing, like, it's genuinely shocking how popular it is now
it might as well be the number one popular kid's IP at this point, which is ludicrous for me to handle
re: doing discourse: somebody sexualizing irl children ugh@puppy yeah, there comes a point where a hard line is crossed, and something like that... without clarifying, it's *extremely* dubious at best.
it sucks too, i like teetering the line a bit myself in roleplays, but that's just what they are, RPs. i've always made it clear i'd never wish any of that on real children, after all, it's what happened to me.
without clear clarification somewhere that it's fantasy... yeah. it's pretty sus.
defederation notice; lengthyi have had to make a really, really tough call here, but it's for the ultimate safety of users here.
i am now defederating plush.city. honestly, i would not be surprised to find they already defederated us, but, in light of Recent Events, this is my course of action. i will explain it as follows:
- a user posted to the fediblock hashtag, recommended everyone remote suspend/defederate an instance, due to someone's post. in which, in that post, was a user describing their own beliefs. whether you agree with their ideology or not is beyond the point; this is a personal qualm used to try to cancel a transfem.
- said user who posted this cancellation post has went on to talk about how kodocons are equivalent to, and i quote, "2d kidfuckers", and how you'd be seeing them "in the hauge" for suggesting this be permissible.
i do not tolerate this kind of behavior, these users pose a threat to queers like us who are not harming anyone. and, go figure, people like to raise hell over inconsequential bullshit.
trying to incite a harassment mob against a transfemme for their political beliefs, to deplatform and cancel them, then to go on and chime in on the recent steam/itch.io BS and go "well actually it's fine these games are being censored, and anyone saying otherwise i will personally kill myself" is, in fact, dangerous.
sorry for the overly long post, i need to make it clear as day when i defederate an instance. because, unlike the instance we have just defederated, i like to make sure my users know my full intentions, instead of cowardly defedding someone who just merely objects to something one of my users says.
also, apologies in advance if this wasn't 100% coherent, been having troubles with keeping my mind awake these days, but i hope i got everything across!
re: personal talk, callout culture, hopeful nonsense@tox yeah, i have a big backstory of my own with callout posts. and i recently had a serial harasser attack me recently, tagging a bunch of fedi admins to defederate my instance (i run possums.gay), and y'know what happened? on the non-lolisho/cub side of fedi, a random person i never met stood up and tried to shut their arguments down. because they believed in me being innocent, after all i've written about this stuff.
and of course, everyone here has been immensely understanding.
things have been a lot better since i dropped the veneer and just straight-up tell everyone i draw cub art. i don't make it a prominent point on my main account (this isn't my main account despite me owning this instance lol), but i do make it very clear i do this stuff, and... even though i continue to be blacklisted from more and more fedi communities, i've found people who truly care about what i do, and listen to what i have to say. and they're the real ones.
and, of course, if all this ever fails... this side of fedi's always got my back.
