BIG ASS RANT INCOMMING.. At least for my account..
Anti-radqueers whose entire accounts revolve around us, thrive on the attention we are giving them, if you block them, they can't see your content, they can't interact with you, and they no longer have the reaction they're looking for
People like Scott, I-reblog-retards, Radtards, the new one Radnormal, and countless other accounts don't keep doing this, aside from the fact that they genuinely dislike us, want to spread misinformation, and all that, but because people keep feeding them attention. And even worse some of you all are actively reinforcing EVERY negative belief they already have about this community. They want reactions, they want screenshots, they want people screaming and crying threats and downright horrible shit in their inboxes. They want examples they can point at and use as proof that we're ALLL horrible people. And some of you just hand that shit to them on a GOLDEN fucking platter
When you're sending threats, acting deranged, harassing people, or telling someone they deserve horrible things, you're NOT helping anyone or anything, you're reinforcing every negative belief they already have about us. What do you expect them to think when you're literally acting like the kind of person they already believe you are?
What do you genuinely think will happen when you’re threatening anti’s, sending them rape threats, sending death threats, trying to dox them, spreading ILLEGAL IMAGES OF THEM. You can't seriously expect someone to go from "I hate radqueers" to "Wow, I was completely wrong!" because you threatened them or told them they deserved abuse. Be so fucking for real?! All you've done is make yourself and the community look like FUCKING IDIOTS while giving them another reason on how yes we do all act like this. Congratulations, also you DON'T tell someone that, fuck you if you have
If someone hates us, they hate us. You can correct misinformation. You can explain that radqueers do not support rape, abuse, or whatever other bullshit people accuse us of. But if they refuse to listen, block them and move on. Stop engaging. They are not owed your attention, and you are not required to fight every anti account that shows up. You're not going to force people to like us by harassing them, okay?
I mostly make flags and occasionally talk to people, yet almost every day I see another pointless conflict because someone got upset that a known anti account reblogged their post and said something stupid.. Like okay..??? So block them if they make you upset.. SCOTT HAS BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE, YOU’VE HAD TIME..
Look you're allowed to be annoyed. You're allowed to be angry. Nobody likes being mocked, talked down to, or criticized
But most of the time, they just reblog your post and say something stupid to get your reaction, or put out their opinion to which it’s okay if someone has a different opinion.
If someone is genuinely harassing you, making alt accounts to contact you, stalking you, or repeatedly targeting you, that's a serious issue and different. But if someone reblogs a PUBLIC POST they saw on their dashboard and says something rude, the easiest and most effective response is usually to BLOCK THEM.
This post probably won't change anything. It's long no one likes reading but holy shit, stop fighting these people every chance you get.
Like I see people asking "Why do antis hate us?"
Maybe because some of you keep giving them more and more examples and reasons to. Maybe because some of you keep sending threats to them. Maybe because some of you are showing up in their DMs and ask boxes acting completely unhinged. If you send rape threats, death threats, or threats in general, you are no better than antis, you are not morally superior for identifying in a certain way, you are not doing ANYTHING. You're just showing everyone that you're immature and incapable of controlling yourself. Sit the fuck down
A lot of people in this community seriously have a big problem with self control and sensitivity issues. Yes, you're allowed to be upset. I get upset too, I’m sensitive, immature, and hold grudges as well. I've been called all kinds of shit for being a radqueer and a paraphile. But being angry is not an excuse for being a completely deranged person and acting in those kinds of ways.. Like that doesn't remove the accountability and responsibility you have for your action, think about how you look, how the community looks, how your actions WILL affect people. No one deserves the shit you guys are doing and saying to anti’s, and look I’m not saying what anti’s are doing is anything better than you guys, but can you not see how you are acting just like them??
Dehumanizing, threatening, doxxing, spreading.. Everything anti’s have done to us as well yes, but like… it doesn't make it right? I'm not saying antis are innocent or that their behavior is any better, but can you seriously not see how some of you are acting? If your response to criticism is threats, harassment, doxxing, or spreading illegal content, then you're proving their point for them.
At that point, you're hurting this community far more than any anti would be able to. Do whatever you want. I'm not here to control anybody. In all honesty, none of this affects me that much personally. I can disappear whenever I want and rebuild elsewhere. But this behavior is one of the biggest reasons people don't want to be a part of this community in the first place and derails what could've been newer members, I enjoy being here. I enjoy creating things for you all. But if I'm being honest, one of the main reasons I've ever considered leaving this community has never been antis, but you guys. If your response to being mistreated is to turn around and do the exact same thing they are doing, then you're not solving the problem, you're contributing to it and making it 10x worse.
This community desperately needs more accountability and self-awareness. People need to start thinking about how their actions affect everyone around them instead of acting purely out of anger and then expecting others to defend it.. Also we need to stop defending it just because they are one of us..
Because at the end of the day, every threat you send, every person you harass, and every time you decide to escalate things instead of walk the fuck away, you're making it harder for everyone else, you're damaging the already very looked down upon community
At some point, people need to grow up, control themselves, and accept responsibility for their behavior. If we want people to stop viewing us in the worst possible light, then maybe we should stop giving them reasons to. Is this not clicking?? Or have you guys just fully stopped caring?
“Radqueers are the future” Then act like it, it wont happen if we don't actually work toward that future, a movement doesn't become the future because its members spend their time harassing random 15 yr olds online or picking fights with every anti account they see. None of that helps the community, changes minds, or gets us anywhere. If you genuinely believe in this community and where it could go, then put the energy you use for anti’s into something fucking productive. Make resources. Correct misinformation. Support people yet also GENUINELY hold people accountable. Create things. Have actual conversations. Do literally anything that contributes something positive. You can say it all you want, but a future doesn't just magically happen because you believe it will happen. People have to genuinely work towards that future you have to put effort and time, you don't have to 24/7 but positive contributions is needed
