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.
