self proclaimed schizoposter nervously typing '911' into their phone and hovering their thumb above the 'call' key as they hawkishly watch a disheveled guy at a bus stop make repetitive movements and ramble to himself

[myxomavirus-deactivated20250211]

You know what lemme just come back to this post because I (physically disabled, joint pain, cane user) was on a full train last night with the biggest heaviest backpack you could imagine bcs I’ve just become homeless and I was on my way to a friends house. I tried to ask people for a seat and got flat out ignored. Nobody would even look at me. It got to a point where I was literally shaking crying sobbing dry heaving resorting to begging “I’m really sorry everyone but can someone please give me their seat I have joint problems I’m in a lot of pain”, speaking to people directly “excuse me but you’re in priority seating and I’m disabled and I really need to sit down” and the only person in the whole train who would even LOOK at me while I was wheezing and clutching my stomach and sweating about to pass out in some of the most rancid pain I’ve ever felt in my life. was an old disheveled guy with a tic who was mumbling to himself. and he quietly tried to console me and convinced me to just sit on someone’s suitcase. I hope all the unnatural hair coloured pierced 20 somethings on that train that night ESPECIALLY never know peace for the rest of their fucking lives

[nbvirgos]

You seriously can’t call yourself a leftist or a progressive or whatever if you can’t treat other people like actual human beings. I’ve had disheveled people who a lot of ppl would assume are homeless, be quicker to offer me a place to sit on a train than 20 somethings with unnatural hair color and “Be Gay do Crime” pins and stickers do that (esp when I injured my ankle coming back from work nobody except a mumbling elderly lady offered me their seat). They’re also not the ones who threaten to call cops on me when I’m taking foodstuffs from grocery stores! You can post about anarchy and being progressive and unhinged all you want but the fact that you would treat people who are physically disabled and in poverty this way makes you just as an awful person as anybody else

[aforlorngazeintoyesterday-deact]

if you all won’t stop demonizing queer men we are not surviving the fucking winter

[aforlorngazeintoyesterday-deact]

if you all won’t stop calling gay men boring or cringey or shaming them for being attracted to men and acting like trans men are somehow lesser trans people and demonizing transmasc transition and bottom surgery there is no fucking hope I’m sorry

[catgirl-catboy]

A common complaint I've seen about the proship community is that we don't take callouts seriously enough. Which, understandable!

But my 2 cents is that when "this user is an actual child predator", "this user ships minor/adult ships" and "this user is against harassing people over minor/adult ships" are treated with the same amount of severity, it is genuinely difficult to determine if someone is an actual threat to others.

If I see a callout post with evidence that could easily be doctored, or no evidence, its easy to assume that antis are making it up to ruin lives, considering the batshit insane shit antis send me on the reg.

[cyanwrites]

I'm a pedophile, according to antis.

I got called out and doxxed for writing fanfiction about a pairing with an age gap (both characters were adults, one in his 20s and one in his 40s/50s). I was in my mid-20s myself.

I'm a medical doctor and antis claimed I was a threat to patients - specifically, that my fanfiction was evidence I would sexually abuse minors in my care.

What happened:

Call-out e-mails to my workplace resulted in me getting called in to see my boss. Boss: "Why am I getting weird e-mails?" Me: "Americans on the internet are upset because I tell stories about cartoon characters in a way they don't like." Boss: "Americans are crazy."

Angry that I didn't get fired, antis then got my unlisted address from a fan art commission and sent it to my abusive ex. According to the antis, 1) I deserved getting attacked/murdered for shipping a "pedophilic" pairing (again, both characters were adults), and 2) they were protecting vulnerable children by enabling my murder. I ended up moving to another country for my safety and mental health.

At the time, I volunteered for Red Cross at a women's crisis shelter and for a local LGBT+ organization. When I left the country, both organizations lost free medical assistance for their members.

Needless to say, at no point were any actual children in danger.

Fanfiction was one hobby of many, something I did for a couple of hours every other weekend. Some of my fics were pretty dark, and in hindsight partly about my own experiences with domestic violence, but mostly I wrote them because I enjoyed the process of creation and the fandom's community.

My fanfiction had zero influence on my professional life and very little on my personal one. I have never been in a relationship with an age gap, and my fics focused on the complicated dynamic between the characters (which I related to), not their ages.

-

So what did antis achieve by calling me out and doxxing me?

Put a queer person at serious risk of getting assaulted - police was involved.

Denied medical assistance to 50+ vulnerable women and LGBT+ persons.

Removed a significant fandom contributor - I used to donate to/commission struggling fan artists and writers to help with rent/medical expenses/tuition etc. Since my address got doxxed from a Paypal payment, I have stopped commissioning and donating money.

Icing on the cake: Several years later, some of the antis involved admitted they participated in the call-out/doxxing because they were mad my OTP included a character they shipped with someone else.

They justified their actions by saying I was homophobic for splitting up a fan-favourite m/m ship - while my ship was m/m too, it often wasn't portrayed as a happy gay couple and that was evidence of me being a toxic person who wants gay people to be unhappy.

And that's my story of being a pedophile on tumblr.

[furball891]

These anti-shipping lunatics are basically why I don't enjoy drawing shipping content anymore in any fandom. It's something I used to love, and most of the feedback I got was positive. But there was always this nagging fear that if I stepped into the wrong fandom or pairing or got popular enough, something like this could happen.

I have seen people leave and even start hating fandoms they loved, get severely bullied even to the point of suicide, doxxed and endangered in real life and a whole host of other really hurtful stuff. All for shipping something others deemed "problematic". Not for hurting anyone. For shipping.

Fictional pairings. Where no real people were harmed.

So yeah, sorry not sorry if I'm not ready to jump into someone's throat the second one rando screams "pedophile". I need some evidence first.

[prince-of-the-moths-deactivated]

I was called a pedophile and had antis calling for my removal from my old university's LGBT+ club because I wrote a story about a character getting therapy for the PTSD he had after being a victim of CSA.

Even if you write about an abuser dying and the victim getting love and support, that's "pedophilic" to them.

Even if you don't ship something, they will try to smear you as a pedo.

I need a mountain of evidence before I believe any claims of someone being a pedophile. Like, for instance, the mountain of evidence against Lily Orchard, an anti who raped her sister repeatedly growing up, who has been caught on a dark net CSEM sharing site requesting videos of real life children who look like her sister, and who is still beloved by the anti community to this day because she hates all the right ships and all the right shows.

If you're willing to let someone harm real life children if they agree with your taste in fiction, yeah, no, you can't call someone a pedophile and expect me to be concerned anymore.

[quesadilla-master]

Nobody loves Lily Orchard, she's considered a laughing stock wherever you ask anti or proshipper, don't be disingenous. Woman has one of the largest kiwifarms threads in the fucking site, has multiple videos by other leftists (including other transwomen) calling her out for being a predator. There is much more valid and thought provoking dissections against antishipping but this is not one of them.

[prince-of-the-moths-deactivated]

I had a roommate who was a Lily Orchard fan, so this is so funny to me. "Nobody likes her. Ignore the tens of thousands of views, the side blog she has of fanart people make for her, the Patreon, the thousands of kudos on her fics, and forget six months of your own lived experience - no one likes her!"

Denial of reality may help you cope but it's more disingenuous than every deliberately disingenuous thing I've ever said in my entire life, because reality matters, and it's not going to go away just because it makes you uncomfortable.

[official-lucifers-child]

having fun with a terf trying to guess my agab and they literally cannot guess it they keep going back and forth and analysing every selfie of me ever and idk as someone who strives to be as androgynous as possible i think i won

[official-lucifers-child]

update i asked them why sex and gender is so important to them and they said “because it’s the basis of society” and so i said “how so? isn’t the basis of society simply people and mankind itself? and even if gender identity and sex is the basis of society, that doesn’t mean it can’t still be fluid and change”

[official-lucifers-child]

update update they said they didn’t feel comfortable with a man in the woman’s restroom and so i explained to them that a trans woman is just as much a woman as cis women and is safer in the women’s restroom alongside other women. they asked how is that and i explained how trans people just want to live. we don’t exist as part of a minority for fun, we simply exist. besides, gendered bathrooms make no sense except men apparently gotta pee standing up (incorrect) and so the urinals are just out in the open (makes no sense at all) and anyway what’s the problem with trans women going into the bathroom that feels best for them? they’re there to use the restroom and that’s it, just like everyone else. the idea that trans women are all predators is incorrect and inaccurate

another long speech and i think i’m getting to them

[official-lucifers-child]

“did you know, you’ve probably shared a bathroom with a trans person before”

“what??”

“yeah but you didn’t know because they minded their own business and didn’t invade other people’s space like you do”

“i don’t invade other people’s space!!”

“oh really? then what is you aggressively keeping trans women out of the women’s bathroom?”

“protection!!”

“from what? someone peeing? someone washing their hands?”

“some of them are there to terrorize women”

“if a cis woman were to terrorise women would you keep all cis women out of the bathrooms?”

“what?? no!! i’m a cis woman”

“so why are you keeping trans women out of the bathroom? are you scared because you don’t know much about transgender people in general?”

“i know plenty about “trans” people”

*proceeds to spout a bunch of false “information” at me*

*i send them a bunch of links to sites with transgender people explaining their experience, plus i explain my own story*

oh yeah i’m getting through to them

[official-lucifers-child]

they timidly asked me if i could explain some terms to them, so i did, and then they asked about trans men.

i’m just lining up my sources ready to go for them, this is the farthest i’ve come ever with a terf

[official-lucifers-child]

currently explaining how sex and gender are different and how biological sex is way more complicated than just male and female. sent them to a site abt intersex people too and then another one about how sex doesn’t equal gender and how society enforced gender much more than most cis people think

[official-lucifers-child]

asked me what my gender is (this is all on discord btw) so i explained that i’m genderfluid and use he/him pronouns and they asked why i don’t use they/them and i explained how pronouns =/= gender identity or presentation and he/him just overall feels more comfy and they a p o l o g i s e d to me for trying to find my agab so i apologised to them for being so hostile at first

[official-lucifers-child]

success!!! they apologised again, thanked me for educating them and for my patience, and then asked if i would be willing to help them apologise to several other trans people too. i did so, and said trans peeps also thanked me (it literally was the least i could do so i brushed it off) and now the not-terf is continuing to learn because “this is really interesting and i want to stay as informed as possible”. i told them i would always be happy to explain something to them if they had questions.

[ghalind]

How do you have patience? I'd probably just tell them to fuck off

[official-lucifers-child]

something most of y’all don’t know about me is that i used to be very lgbtphobic. my dad “taught” me all about how gay people were just looking for attention, etc etc. i was exposed to a lot of transphobic media and homophobic ideals.

one (1) kind soul saw my young, homophobic self and kindly and patiently took the time to explain everything to me, calmly disputing my “facts” and educating me. they gave me books and resources and actual information and explained how my father was manipulative and abusive in the process. they were my first real interaction with a queer person, and i then learned more myself and began exploring identities after realising that what i was feeling was definitely not cishet.

ever since then i’ve made sure to keep my heart and arms open and accepting of all identities and labels and minorities. ever since then, whenever i see someone who is clearly mis/disinformed, i take the time to educate them as that kind person did to me years ago.

i have the patience, because i know i can succeed. i have the patience because i know how harmful my being rude is to a bigot. their experience with me, a very openly flamboyant queer, is probably their first non-hostile interaction with a queer person and it has to go well or else they will close themself off from anyone and everyone who tries to educate them.

I am obsessed with this.

So because parkour is such a ridiculously male dominated sport, the "correct technique" for a lot of these movements that you're taught when you become an instructor plays to a male body's strengths: upper body strength, higher center of gravity, etc.

She demolishes this course by moving in ways that make sense for her body. She doesn't muscle her way up to her over a wall, she just throws a leg up over the wall. She doesn't use upper body strength to do the salmon ladder, she uses her hips!!! And it's fucking incredible.

So many girls and young women walk away from parkour because every movement caters to the strengths of men, because doing what makes sense for their bodies is seen as "bad technique" to be trained away.

If pre-transition me had seen this I would have cried tears of joy.

I love that his face is hard to read a lot of times, but I couldn’t resist experimenting with his cute face.
