I was gonna let this go, but fuck it.
My work brings me into contact with POC every single day. That is why this shit is so frustrating and maddening to me. Because there is absolutely no reason to be giving a WW the benefit of the doubt over 2 whole instances full of POC who are telling you over and over their lived experience. Yall wanna be "believe women" and BLM, but only when it doesnt make you uncomfortable

"I think PV and Cryptids are evangelical instances that queer bash"

Y'all.

Cryptids. C R Y P T I D S.

And that they're queer bashing......

This is some top tier bullshit. And it's my fave.

The answer is neither.

You don't want us to screenshot dunk.

You don't want us to have the screens.

You don't want us to be able to prove shit.

Because you want to be able to squash us by either appealing to morals (because they are screenshot dunking me) or logcikkkkk (because they have no proof)

You want us to shut up and accept being insulted and dunked on.

And the answer for you is that you need to shut the fuck up

People wonder why the POC instances have entire troves of screenshots

And also go off about how rude it is to screenshot dunk.

But then demand 10 pages of evidence in size 12 times new roman font with 15 peer reviewed sources in order for us to be heard.

Which one do y'all mfs want?

abuse

I had multiple counselors in high school, and I would tell them, "My sister ran away from home. My other sister tried to kill me. I had to talk my mother down from slashing her wrists" and they acted like it was the Self Esteemers episode of Daria instead, idk, doing anything to address my obvious PTSD symptoms or reporting me to CPS.

Me telling people my adoptive family is very abusive and violent at age 12: Haha, yeah, sure. Ok. You seem to be very introverted, let's work on that, huh?

Me telling people my adoptive family was very abusive and violent at age 35: Oh, that's awful! You went through so much! Why didn't anyone do anything?

homophobia

Sucking on straws is GAY because humans are holes and straws are holes and sucking on a straw is like sucking on a hole is like sucking on a human (of the same gender)

being treated 'like a man' is different from, and worse than, being treated *as* a man, and that difference is perhaps nowhere more keenly expressed than in relationships between cis women and transmisogyny-exempt 'woman aligned' people, on the one hand, and the nonbinary, transmisogyny-constrained partners whom they treat 'like a man' on the other;

unless it is more starkly articulated in the relationships between cis women and transmisogyny-exempt 'woman aligned' parents and their nonbinary, transmisogyny-constrained children.

it is inaccurate to say that cis feminism 'struggles with' this dynamic; on the contrary, cis feminism is broadly employed as the ideological justification for mis-treating someone 'like a man'.
