Welcome to the ex-rq infirmary.
Why are we here?
The rq community has become a hotbed for child grooming, ecouraging harmful behavior, pro-contact pedophiles and zoophiles, cultural appropriation, bigotry, and ableism. We haven’t interacted with the community in a while, and after pulling away, we came to realize this for ourselves.
We aim to provide a safe space for anyone who feels that the rqc has hurt them in some way, or have come to understand that the rqc and its ideology is extremely dangerous. We are your microphone, your warm blanket, your safe space.
Here are our core beliefs:
We have the right to self-identify within our cultural understanding. Self-identity that does not take away from or diminish a culture you have not been accepted into is protected here. This means "trace" is not accepted here, however other forms of internal identification are (e.g. terms with longer history such as transspecies and transage; differing internal identity due to fictionkin or plurality).
We believe in recovery first and foremost. We do not encourage behavior that would bring harm to oneself or others, including children or animals.
We accept all identities as good-faith. Contradictory or "weird" identities are accepted here, as the sapient experience is so vast and varied. It's worth it to note that anything explicitly racist, xenophobic, transphobic, intersexist, homophobic, queerphobic, sexist or otherwise bigoted is not "good-faith" (this includes trans- any of these labels).
We support those with paraphilias. We encourage therapy and positive coping mechanisms while understanding it is not possible to "cure" or "recover from" a paraphilia. We discourage contact with the subjects of non-consensual paraphilias, including in the form of sexual assault/exploitation material. We also discourage contact with paraphilias through which would bring oneself physical or mental harm or distress.
We understand that fiction, when kept solely fictional, can be a good coping mechanism. We do not necessarily encourage the (over) consumption of "dead dove" content, however, we do understand that fiction and roleplay (between consenting adult humans) can be healthy coping mechanisms in moderation. There will be nonesuch content on this blog, however.
We understand anyone new to being ex-rq may still hold on to some transIDs. This is okay and very understandable. This is a new and growing community of radical inclusionists, together we will find new terms to describe our internal experiences without ties to either the rqc or hate.
Rqs may not interact. HOWEVER, if you still consider yourself to be rq and wish to let go of those beliefs, you're welcome here. Please do not give us a reason to change our minds.
