hey, if youre an anti and you secretly hold radqueer views/agree with us, i love you. if youre an anti and you see this and recoil, you need to realize that in a community based so much on hate and bigotry there WILL be people hating because theyre scared about relating. its like homophobes who are that way because theyre closeted and terrified of their own identity. hate will only further push our siblings away. if you want to join the radqueer community, GO FOR IT!! if you dont want to join us but want to leave antis, GO FOR IT!!! being an anti is detrimental to your mental health, i hope all of you heal.
a blankqueer label inspired by antis calling us "PRATs"! stands for Predatory Racist Ableist Transphobic, but i've heard radqueers change it to Pretty Radical And Terrific. i like to think Pedo Radqueer Attack Tank- like we have a huge tank or sum that sounds cool.
Hi, I'm Xiao/burningrqs. this post is going to be long. Posting this from a burner so that it doesn't go down the drain when we deactivate.
But essentially, this is an apology to the radqueer community for multiple different things. I'm going to do my best to type this out as well as possible, and I apologize if I miss anything or word things poorly. I am going to explain myself to the best of my abilities, but please keep in mind that my explanations do not excuse my actions by any means.
Post under the cut.
for those who don't want to read it though, TL;DR: I was a complete asshole and I'm genuinely very sorry about it.
So, I want to start off by apologizing in general for the "burning radqueers" thing. Not only was it just not funny, but it was also really weird. I know damn well that if I saw someone pop up with a "burningmogais" blog or something, I would be pissed. So I don't know what made me think that running burningradqueers was a good idea in any sense.
My rude and dehumanizing comments did not help. Regardless of how I view people, what disorders I have, or how symptoms present themselves, it was disgusting of me to act as though I can't be held accountable for my cruelty towards others.
The targeted posts were even worse, and allowing people to just pick a random blog to "burn" was teetering on harassment. It put the user in front of so many people who clearly did not have good intentions towards them, and inherently put the user being "burnt" in danger. I wish I noticed that fact sooner. Even if I disagreed with people or didn't like them for whatever reason, I still should not have felt as though I had the right to post stuff like that.
Adding onto that, I should have never used my ASPD as an excuse for anything. I tend to get defensive when I feel insulted, which is what happened, and I decided to bite back despite being in the wrong. I acted impulsively and out of pure anger, and then tried to defend it, which I shouldn't have. When saying the kinds of things I did, I am open to criticism whether I like that fact or not, and trying to act as though I am immune to that criticism because of a disorder was disgusting on my part.
Another thing, somewhat on a similar note, is that an apology is owed for my hostility in general. Every time it was even lightly suggested I was wrong, I seemed to lash out and get angry. This really just comes down to me needing to learn to admit my wrongs. I should not have made my inability to understand my wrongdoings anyone else's problem.
Then there's also the things I said when I lashed out before deciding to drop burningradqueers entirely. I don't fully remember all of what I said as the event happened during an episode (this does not excuse my words at all by the way. regardless of my state at the time, what I said wasn't okay and should not be excused) and the posts have since been deleted. But, I do remember at one point making harassment out to be a competition of sorts when someone was simply trying to calmly explain to my why the namedropping was not a good move. I can't for the life of me remember why I did that, but I am very sorry about it. A lot of people in the radqueer community have been harassed (and likely do still get harassed constantly), and for me to act like I am the only victim of harassment was wrong on multiple levels.
I'm sure there was a lot of bad stuff I said during that episode, but as I said, I do not remember most of it. I'm sorry that I can't apologize for the specific things I said, but I am apologizing for the situation as a whole.
The entire thing started over me not being able to handle much deserved criticism, and I stood "my ground" despite having absolutely no ground to stand on.
I started burningradqueers over baseless hatred. I didn't know why I was supposed to hate radqueers, or what I was even really hating. I joined the anti community thinking that it is much easier to just move with the pack and hate what everyone else seems to hate, but hatred really isn't that easy. It's exhausting. And realizing how much the anti community really wouldn't want me if I was honest about things made me realize that. Realizing that there are so many antis who would rather see us suffer forever due to dysphoria than see us live happily after getting amputations was rough, and honestly kinda gave me a taste of what radqueers have to deal with every single day, and it felt horrible.
Without realizing it, I managed to do so much damage to a community full of people who deal with exactly the same things I do, a community that is mostly traumatized and mentally ill people who are just trying to get by. Not even just that, but genuinely just people trying to exist and be honest about themselves.
It is not my place to dictate what is and isn't valid in terms of someone's personal identity, and even more, it's not okay for me to treat a whole community like garbage just because I didn't understand it.
Again, I do not want my actions to be excused. I treated people horribly and was a total dick, but I hope that me apologizing can at least make some of you feel better about how I behaved.
Same anon. I donât have any screenshots but the person I am talking about first went by a username that had anita in it (I donât remember their full username). Later used lamb as a name. This is the last anon Iâm going to send about this, like idk if you are them but Iâm not going to risk it.
Totally fair fam but I have never had a username like this that in rq spaces, so itâs not me
Unblocking to send this because of learning that there was at least two different lambs who use almost identical usernames in RQ spaces.
âI'm Lambparapositovity (not to be confused with the other RQ Lamb that uses mrrp/mrrps pronouns).â
So youâre not the Lamb who made that weird radfem-ish post about men sometime from Oct to Dec 2023? Genuinely sorry about dragging you into this if you arenât but I want to confirm and I honestly donât know how else to get this information
Considering I literally don't know what you're talking about, no. I havent been on public RQ social media until November this year.
I was the OG Lamb, I'm dating the being who made the RQ flag. I am not radfem, I was never, at any point, ex-RQ, and I solely use she/her pronouns on public RQ forums

reminder I am the original coiner of the term this isn't a reclaim it is just an updated repost. in case some people haven't got the memo I am "Bee" well I don't consider myself them but that's irrelevant.
Anti-Winterpunk POC: "I don't hate white people but white people can't experience racism they just wanna be oppressed cause of their white fragility and white guilt cause they have white privilege"
Me: ...what?
This is your daily reminder that whitemisia exists. Implying that white fragility and white guilt are negative things that should be used against white folk is wrong. You can't be mad at white folk for having pocphobia when microaggressions like this lead to internalized whitemisia and also further deny the existence of non-systemic racism towards white folk.
Racism: prejudice based on ones skin color, culture, heritage, etc. can be experienced by any race regardless of their classification as minority or majority
Systemic Racism: prejudice and oppression based on a minority's skin color, culture, heritage, etc. specifically from a majority race in power
okay like.. yeah racism can be against everyone or whatever but like bro have you considered that this isn't a "microaggression" this is just like. False information.
microaggressions is like somebody (directly towards you btw) is like "ohhh your hair looks so much better when it's straight" or "where's the father (to a black mother with her child)" or "You're attractive for a black person"
it's not somebody going "uh I think [false fact about x race] because [kind of dumb reasons]"
(also like pocphobia is really dumb because you're either extremely colourist or stupid if you think you can just know when someone is a person of colour. You are just racist if you only start being scared of them once they specify that they are.)
It isn't false information to use a generalization about something based on a very vague definition that changes depending on the source and context. Also if a person says that directly to a white person it is definitely a microaggression because it legit fits the aforementioned definition which is the one I use. Anyways in future reference I will just call it a slight. However, the actual problem here isn't semantics it is the blatant ableism and ignorance you have when it comes to your perception of race and phobias. Race is based on stereotypes and racism is enforced by stereotypes the whole concept of race itself enforces racism. Your argument that POCphobia is "dumb" is just ableism. Phobias are anxiety disorders they are uncontrollable. Somebody who has a race-phobia (aka race anxiety) is scared of the social construct that is a certain race which includes all racial identities because race is such an undefinable thing many different racial identities intersect making it possible for anyone of any racial identity to fit into any certain racial construct. You saying that "you're either extremely colourist or stupid if you think you think you can just know when someone is a person of colour" legit just proves my point. If someone is scared of the social construct that is a certain racial identity it isn't racist. "You are just racist if you only start being scared of them once they specify that they are." while yes the latter is true your assumption that POCphobia only includes "actual" POC is blatantly ignorant of race as a construct and the negative impacts it has on all racial identities. Anyone can experience racism because nobody has an actually defined race because race isn't real and was made to justify prejudice. Race is all about perception it has no clear lines. Don't even try and bring up genetics because using genetics to enforce race as a social construct is literally just bioessentialism and tracemisia.
Racial categories are weak proxies for genetic diversity and need to be phased out
You've heard that race is a "social construct." These reminders of how silly racial categories are explain how that works in real life.
What it is: âRacial anxietyâ refers to the heightened levels of stress and emotion that we confront when interacting with people of other ra
I find it really funny how you're trying to argue with me by telling me I'm being bigoted in a way you made up. This is like trying to tell an atheist they're going to hell.
Oh nooooo what ever will I doooooooo you're mad because you're pretending to be marginalized so you can be racistttttttttttt. oh nooooooo I'm so upsettttttt.
race wasn't created to justify hatred, it was created to help define groups of people, because it's literally in our tribal nature to separate into people with similar qualities to ourselves.
That doesn't mean it's the best thing in the world, but if we took a group of people who knew nothing of our current ideas and let them live on their own they would also create "ingroups". It's just how a lot of animals work.
with the function of our current society it is obviously not the most ideal situation, because nowadays a lot of the use of it is to justify hatred, but it wasn't created for that reason. Social groups exist no matter what you do.
Also like. A thing being used to justify something bad is a stupid reason to be against it. Like oh no guys guess I'm anti spirituality because it's been used to discriminate against people (not serious). That's not how it works.
You're thinking of ethnicity, babe. Race was a word created by white supremacists to imply other ethnicities are less than human. That they weren't the human race, they were some other race. So yeah, the word race actually was made to justify hate against POC.
