long post ahead. TL;DR : dehumanizing and harassing antis hurts the community more than it helps. make an attempt to educate or just block / report . theres no use whatsoever in harassing them back or trying to twist them into being "secretly radqueers". acknowledge and fight back against bigotry , dont retaliate with bullying or act like there IS no bigotry.
hi if u say / believe shit like "all antis should die" , "antis kys" , "antis should be raped" , "abuse all antis" , etc. block me . genuinely . youre disgusting .
i also dont fucking like when people are like "if ur an anti ur just cisharmful and ACTUALLY SECRETLY RADQ!!!" like stfu no. they genuinely are not. were the nazis just secretly jews?? was the japanese military secretly in love with chinese citizens??? was the KKK secretly a group of black people ??? no. they were bigots . and no amount of labeling them as "secret allies" will ever fucking help . hatred needs to be acknowledged and discouraged , not placated with "aww theyre just faking >_<"
am i saying antis are justified ? fuck no . but saying "kill all (group)" or "all (group) deserves to be abused / violated / etc." is actually fucking disgusting . do you realize that a lot of radqueers .. WERE antis ? do you realize that antis are .. also people? with families , jobs , friends , hobbies , talents ? and being an anti does not negate those traits ? do you realize that viewing those who disagree with you as subhuman trash actually makes you a generally worse person ? if you cant view those who are hateful , violent , and even downright evil as people the same as anyone else , youre actually making the problem worse .
antis ARE people . antis cry . they bleed . they fight . they starve . they die . they are born . they give birth . they kill . they have favorite colors . favorite foods . pet peeves . and if you start viewing everyone you find morally reprehensible as subhuman scum , youre only making it HARDER to combat bigotry . if bigots are evil demons and not people , how do we combat their rhetoric ? if you believe they cant be educated or spoken to , what do you suggest we do ? killing all antis would be killing future radqueers . it would be killing CURRENT radqueers who are uneducated about the community or who arent safe to be out in any way . it would be killing family members , friends , co workers , employers , etc. of radqueers .
if an anti is genuinely just out to be malicious and hateful , BLOCK AND REPORT. they THRIVE off of attention and knowing they upset someone . if an anti interacts with you , take it as an opportunity to educate . even if it falls on deaf ears , SOMEONE will see it and it may change their mind . at the very least , SOMEONE will see it and realize radqueers are not evil and scary.
hello everycreature!! it's lovely to see you :] i'm far from new to the community but i've had to do some moving around, this is my new home for the time being!
here's all you need to know about me

⚠️ please do not follow me if you hate pro-c's or those who are pro-c aligned, or are firmly of the assumption that pro-c means one has no regard for consent or abuse. you can interact with my posts, but i'd rather you not hang around for obvious reasons. ⚠️
casual reminder that assuming young age based on lack of knowledge on a topic or based on rudeness is rooted in ageism, folks of any age can be rude or uninformed and trying to stereotype age groups only serves to reinforce age based oppression.
it appears there has been a wave of smiting from the tumblr gods (staff) in our community. my account including others seemed to have been took out back and shot, if you understand what i’m getting at
some feel indifferent about it when it happens to them. some feel unmotivated to start again. some might even feel joy, in some way from it.
I just want to say,.. do not let that happening get to you! do not let that get in the way of your pride and identity.
make a new account, even if you have to start over.
keep advocating, keep going, keep posting, keep being radqueer
don’t let this get your hopes down. dont let them silence you
its honestly so jarring to see it genuinely be used by somnos and paraphiles, as my boyfriend really had no idea or any intentions for it to blow up, he made it for himself as he was upset with the original ones not really speaking to him as a somno. I get really excited and started freaking out when i saw the flag being genuinely used, as ive watched him make it years ago lol
-> A BLANKQUEER STANCE UNDER THE RADQUEER UMBRELLA , BELIEVING THAT WE SHOULD ALL HAPPILY ACCEPT OTHERS FOR WHO THEY ARE ! WHIMSYQUEER ACCEPTS ALL IDENTITIES , SUCH AS TRANS - ID’S , CONTRADICTORY LABELS , GOOD - FAITH LABELS , ETC .
