I joked a few minutes ago about how in internet discourse anyone over 25 is a “queer elder” but come to think of it most of these young discoursers don’t even believe such a concept exists. Gay men who watched their entire friends groups perish to AIDS are “privileged cis gays,” older trans women who use dated terminology to describe their own experiences are problematic, elders are just a conservative old guard to rebel against, and anyone over thirty who speaks to you at all must be a predator. The first time I heard the phrase “okay groomer” online, it wasn’t coming from self identified conservatives but from tiktok teens reacting against leather at Pride. You guys are ignorant and uncultured and proud of it!

Nobody hates you because you’re young. They hate you because you’re ignorant and annoying. Hope this helps.

Speaking as a “queer elder” (don’t really feel like one but shit if we’re joking about anyone older than 25 being one might as well roll with it). To my young queers (and my young LGBT+ folks who don’t use queer).

You are not getting pushback from the older segment of the queer community because you are young.

It’s because you came into the spaces we built for you and instantly tried to kick us out.

It’s because we opened the doors for you and you walked in and demanded that everyone you don’t like leave. You demanded that the kinksters, the crossdressers, the freaks and the weirdos, the non-binary trans folks, the people with conflicting identity labels, the people who apparently don’t enjoy their smut “the right way” leave.

It’s because you have thrown yourself into queer spaces with all the fucking audacity of a straight white woman raging at a rainbow flag in a grocery store, wailing about how it’s not appropriate for children.

It’s because you apparently think that you have some right to tell us, and other queer people your age, HOW to be queer.

It’s because a SCARY number of you think that using the word queer is bad in the first place.

It’s because so many of you have come here drowning in radfem rhetoric, and your response to being corrected is to scream “pedo!” At any queer peer who disagrees with your puritanical approach to kink and fantasy.

It’s because so many of you think that being LGBT+ means you can’t possibly hold onto the conservative values you grew up with, and when you’re called on it you attack anyone and everyone in your way.

Us queer elders aren’t hating on you because you’re young. It’s because you have come into the space we built- a space that we built on from what OUR queer elders built. Which was built on what THEIR queer elders built. And so on, all held up by a foundation of fucking blood of the queers who did not fucking survive, who we lost before I was born, and continue to be lost.

If we seem hostile to you and the ideology you bring? It’s because us elders know a threat when we see it. And the shit I see SO MANY of you young queers saying IS a threat. No different than the threats we’ve faced before. Except this time. It’s coming from inside the fucking house- and we won’t tolerate that.

What the hell happened to Mitski?

someone accused her of having kept a CHILD SLAVE in a trunk in her university dorm room when she was 19 and also leading a sex trafficking ring. the girl who made the accusation kept adding progressively more and more absurd stuff to the callout every few hours until it was this elaborate wattpad story about how mitski had war criminal parents who altered the internet to disguise her real identity and how the accuser was secretly an informant for the FBI when she was 14 and got pistol whipped in an FBI fight and just more and more stuff. mitski herself had to step in and say it wasn’t true. it was literally qanon conspiracy theory hoax tier shit. 

the accuser later admitted to having made it up during a psychotic episode, and people found her reddit where months earlier, she had made numerous posts about how she regularly has episodes where she, for days, believes untrue things about being in the center of conspiracy theories. it later came out that she had never even met mitski, and was nowhere near the concert where she originally claimed said child slave abduction happened. but some people still believe it to this day and accuse anyone who points out how absolutely absurd the whole thing was of being celebrity worshippers who hate abuse victims. it’s nuts

[dingdongyouarewrong]

i just read a post that uses these screenshots, so i’m gonna borrow them for here- it’s worth noting that years after this accusation happened and years after the accuser admitted that it never happened and that she was experiencing one of several psychotic episodes that led her to believe similar things, there are still people who not only believe it, but spread false accusations to others about a minorly famous singer-songwriter being an evil pedophile. there are even people who say that even though they know it didn’t happen, they still think mitski is a child sex trafficker because of it 

the whole thing was just really fucked up- not only assigning so much theoretical fame and prestige to this woman that people were convinced these accusations didn’t matter or couldn’t do harm to her because she was uberfamous (and that anyone who promoted skepticism about them was being an idiot celebrity worshipper), but also the way ‘take accusations seriously and don’t dismiss them out of hand simply because you like a celebrity’ so quickly got warped into ‘refuse to apply a critical eye to anything anyone says ever and immediately accept it as fact and spread it as much as you can’. 

a month after the accusations broke, she announced that she was moving out of public life and performed her last public show in years. there are people who still regularly publicly claim she’s a pedophile. people still regularly spread the unsubstantiated claim that she’s from a family of war criminals (her dad worked at an embassy.) like it’s talked about as this batshit part of tumblr history because to some degree it is, just because the levels of ridiculousness that the story took on, and the immediate fervor with which people adopted and spread it, definitely highlights some degree of mob mentality and unhingedness that you can find on tumblr, but it’s not just a funny quirky story. it’s a cautionary tale of a really fucked up thing that happened.
