Hey there! I've been quietly following you for a while now and loving it, but recently I stopped seeing posts from you? I just went to your blog to check and Tumblr unfollowed you for me and now refuses to refollow you and won't show me you blog at all. It's acting like you blocked me? If you get this, could you please message me @ignissaltator ? I don't know if I somehow did something wrong and you blocked me but if I did I'd really like to know and understand. Thank you and I'm sorry
@ignissaltator I definitely had you blocked, but I block a lot of people for various reasons, and it doesn't necessarily have to be much. Let's see if we can figure out why.
Did you:
Argue in favor of commenting on fanfiction with unsolicited criticism, or actually leave unsolicited crit on something someone wrote?
Express an opinion in favor of allowing cats outside unsupervised?
Express animal rights opinions in an obnoxious and judgy way without knowing what you were talking about?
Express TERF opinions/support TERF rhetoric knowingly? (My latest blocking spree was going through a post where a lot of people did this in the replies, and we're NOT going to get along if that was the case)
There's other reasons I block people but these are the main 4 so let's start there.
Edit:
I forgot my own damn self, you're right. I also block people for:
Being an asshole about asexuality (especially) and aromanticism, and also any other queer identities, or for being an asshole about the word queer
Being an asshole to non-Christian religions
Being a Nazi
And the much less dire offense of:
Having an opinion I don't like about characters I do like
Having any opinion I don't want to see more of, particularly on my posts
I tend to be very liberal in my use of the block button because I'm here to have fun, and I don't have the patience or spoons to bother with people who obstruct my fun. I don't care enough to fully investigate every single time I press the block button, so I'm sure I've blocked people that were otherwise fine.
That said, I pawed through your blog for both my own name and any of the above (at least for a bit), and I don't see anything blatant. So, in the spirit of answering why you were blocked, my guess would be you left a reply on something and I blocked you so I wouldn't have to see it again OR I clicked a wrong button.
