A few last words about the whole yesterday shitstorm. This is long, but please, read until the end. This is quite serious, and I refuse to let it go so lightly.
First of all, I still believe that the situation could've been resolved peacefully way before it escalated this far. Like, maybe you thought that Dany (bluespock) was wrong for telling ladyvean and guljerry to "literally die" in response to them engaging in sexual roleplay under her post, which she did not consent to. Fine, even though I and other people who have witnessed how many times Dany had to deal with all kinds of gross, thoughtless and completely uncalled for comments on her posts, would strongly disagree. Because at some point you just lose all patience saved for dealing with stupid people, and that's understandable. And if you support the point that people shouldn't be offended by strangers saying weird shit on their personal posts on the internet... well, you know. If you wouldn't just randomly come up and say this to a complete stranger in real life, don't say it online. Do manners and common sense just stop existing the moment you log onto Tumblr?
And even if she was wrong about saying this, there was a much more diplomatic way to go about this. Like, none of you ever thought of apologizing first? No, you still think that jumping onto someone's post and roleplaying a mass murderer with a boner was an okay move. If one of you had even an ounce of empathy or just used your brain for a second, you would've come forward and apologised, and then you could've said Dany's words made you uncomfortable, too. But you completely refused to consider the feelings of the OP of the post you derailed, and decided to express your discomfort in the classiest, the tumblr-est way possible: by vaguing and namedropping.
You proceeded to call us, your opponents, children and "tumblr tots" while acting like infants yourselves, especially considering all of you are in the 25-30 (?) age range, and the oldest of the people you picked fights with were 21. I'm 16 myself and you are the same age as most my high school teachers. To imagine any of them or any people their age getting into petty arguments and acting like they were oh so hurt and offended by an 11-grader jokingly saying "I will kill people who fetishize genocidal dictators" on the internet — it's hilarious, to say the best.
None of you were ever in any real danger. We weren't standing at your doorstep with battle axes and Bajoran phasers. Acting like being told to pee your pants is suicide baiting doesn't make you look very mature.
(Sidenote, it was really funny to watch ladyvean tell fluorescentbrains not to get into argument with them and simultaneously enjoy the support and help of everyone and their dog on her side. But, you know, hypocrisy probably isn't a new word for someone who thinks saying "Dukat is bad" once is enough a justification to go and continue roleplaying his dick.)
But that was all still when the whole situation could be described as petty fandom drama.
And then the whole nazi thing happened.
Like, even if it wasn't anyone from the scalie squad (including admitted nazi apologist mostlyhydratrash and their husband, the Token POC) who did this, that was when I lost the last bit of respect and consideration for anything any of you had to say. Your actions motivated someone to go and create entire blogs full of nazi imagery specifically to harass me, a Jewish minor.And none of you had even attempted to apologise.
No, you continued acting in your dumbass fashion and told me I made these blogs myself, as if it's really worth it, to go and give myself a panic attack just to frame you as the bad guys. Your arguments were already looking pathetic enough.
But that's still unbelievable to me, that you had the fucking nerve to say I was the one harassing YOU on a post where I literally answered one of the disgusting asks I received.
I didn't even answer all of them. Just one. Just to show the mere scale of what's happening. I was too shook and panicked to answer anything that came after it, or even to screenshot it — I just blocked the rest of it as soon as I read it, and closed my askbox. Still, the first blog, which is now deactivated, enjoyed a solid 15 minutes of reblogging every post I made in the past day and shouting and calling me a nazi in between.
Like, if you think this is excusable in any way, and me saying I want this disgusting freak to die is somehow a worse offence... wow. You are a nazi apologist, no more, no less.
And the funniest shit is that when one of my friends made a callout and mentioned that we have the nazi blog's IP address (we thought it was perilsperil, since they were the only person involved who was still online at the time it happened), whoever made it immediately came forward and apologised...
For inconveniencing perilsperil.
Just further showing what a pathetic coward they really are. So you're brave enough to google and save nazi imagery, to arrange a whole blog harassing a 16-year-old, but not enough to show your fucking face after that? Your side was preaching the whole time about how words have consequences uwu, but apparently that doesn't apply when you are the one talking.
And how convenient must it be for all of you that I have no one to address my quite justified rage to, now you can claim that I'm harassing all of you! But, y'know... if the shoe fits...
Anyways. Dear Mature Adults! In the past couple of days you all have made a huge step in your Mature Adult Lives and now you can add another bullet point to your lists of Mature Adult Achievements, right next to boring shit like buying a house, finding a stable job and getting married to the only person in the world that can stand you. You very maturely harassed and encouraged harassment of a Jewish teenager, one of many people involved in a petty fandom debate, to the point that they decided to abandon their blog for the sake of their safety. Congratulations!
And I wish at least one of you would read all of this and at least feel bad for yourself, but I'm fairly sure that even if this post reaches one of you, you will probably skim it with a smirk on your face and still somehow blame me for what happened. Well. I wish I didn't care, but I kind of do, because I was hurt by your mindlessness.
And that's just the tea on that.
Reblogs are really appreciated, and if you can, please @ the people this is addressed to. I'm probably going to empty my blocklist just so they can see it.
This is the last post I’m making on this account.
