Something that bears mentioning: I get why we need to shame straight girls who fetishize mlm ships but. To any straight girls who consistently relate to or resonate with mlm dynamics on a deep level or see themselves in queer male characters. if by any chance this post from a tiny tiny blog crosses your dash. Please take this moment to very privately consider the possibility that you might not be straight. Or a girl.

You’re playing a game of truth or dare. In the first round you hear: “Blake, I dare you to leave for smokes and don’t come back for 20 years”. 20 years later, all the participants awaken in a dark room, arranged in a circle. In front of them, a single match sparks as you say “it’s my turn now”.

i havent seen anything about it on here maybe because its not relevant to my circles so i feel compelled to make my followers aware that on Wednesday, September 1st, there will be an ongoing boycott organized by marginalized Twitch streamers to protest how the platform has done absolutely fuck all nothing to protect marginalized streamers from harassment, hate raids, the massive bot problem, and more.

as you might expect, those participating will not be streaming or watching twitch streams on the 1st. as a marginalized streamer myself i will of course be participating in this boycott and i urge you all to do the same.

here’s some articles about the boycott and surrounding circumstances for more information / sources:

Jim Sterling has a pretty good video discussing the issue, including some statements from Twitch streamers affected by this.

The video should give you a pretty good idea of what’s happening and why it’s something that deserves more attention.

Jim themselves are a trans-femme, non-binary pansexual who has been subjected to unmitigated hatred from Twitch viewers and automated bots, and speaks about their experiences as well.

Twitch itself continues to do nothing.

You can tell when someone doesn't really have a strong ethical framework beyond a shallow "Listen To [Oppressed Person]" because they'll hear one person go "Healthcare should be universal" and another go "Racism is great" and they'll be like "Well they're both trans... :/"

[parkchanwoohoo]

I need you people to understand that there is not a single marginalized group that doesn't contain members with heinous, regressive beliefs, and trying to determine who to believe based on the ""validity of their experiences"" is no way to make political and ethical judgments
