#callout blogs

[velvetvexations]

the best I can tell having a hardline stance against lolcow culture even when the people targeted are dangerous bigots lost me souls I felt were grafted onto mine so I want every last smear of rotting smegma who accuses me of hating trans women and leading harassment campaigns to go to hell and fucking stay there

Honestly, I do think it makes sense to have carefully organized callout blogs for con artists.

Come on, you telling me we wouldn’t make a callout blog for the “bad copper” guy, Ea-nasir ?

I tried contacting crow-caller, but I think they are asleep. But I am just trying to clear up the fact that I don't trace. I'm aware of all the other bullshit that callout blog is pulling. I've tried reporting them.I'm just trying to spread the word on this before someone misinterprets because commissions supplement my disability, and help me keep afloat, and they've alread dwindled with the call out blog being around. And sorry for the copy past message. I don't have a whole lot of energy

Hang in there! I'm in your corner and I'm sure that my followers are too. You haven't done anything wrong.

A trans woman could Actually Murder Someone and multiple blogs all about her documenting everything she says and pointing to her as The Great Evil In Society would be really fucked up and weird behavior. I don't care about the thing she did, it's irrelevant, you have four different blogs riffing off her name each building a library for every bad thing she's ever done, you're weird freaks who want to take part in lolcowing a trans woman more than you give a shit about fixing anything or helping anyone.

And when you hitch yourself to transmasc rights and claim you're doing to fight transandrophobia, you're validating the worst things people say about trans men who believe in transandrophobia. You're giving them that ammo for free. It's not only reprehensible behavior, you are making my job harder. You are making it harder for everyone who tries to talk about transandrophobia by tying it to your transmisogynistic fixations. Fuck off, literally fuck off, go away and fuck yourselves.

IDK how many times I can say "I don't care what ISFF did or said, multiple blogs dedicated to stalking her, meticulously recording her every word, and portraying her as the ultimate evil within the community to be purged is transmisogynistic and you're a transmisogynistic crypto-TERF if you do or support that" before people in my inbox will get the message

"all of the other trans women who want [you] dead" have actually been saying how siding with transmisogynists the way you have inevitably leads to them deciding *you* are the bad dangerous predatory trans woman. it will probably happen to r-c too eventually. if nothing else, take this moment to learn who actually has your best interests in mind. it will never be the people on the hunt for trans women its okay to go after. what r-c is doing to you is what youve been doing to other trans women, and you will have to realize and confront that at some point, but before that you need to get yourself out of the circles that keep doing this shit. it will only get worse.

I was never on R-C's side, dumbass, she hates me because I objected to her methods as soon as she came into my field of vision.

Are those particular close friends who abandoned me validating of TRF prophecies? Somewhat.

But the people who introduced me to the concept of transandrophobia are still the ones that have putting thousands of dollars into feeding and housing me while I've been homeless. And because of their lease, I've been spending four weeks staying with another transandrophobia believer I never shared a word with before asking for help - and have stayed with yet another two for the same reason.

So maybe go fuck yourself, TB. And remind yourself WHY R-C hates me and those friends dropped me, because it's explicitly that I have not been doing the same thing and never have.

I have had similar experiences being groomed into "MAP" spaces as a tween/young teenager and it is so frustrating to have accusations that trigger that kind of fear and anger all over again. Wishing you the best, great posts as always

That circle is now insisting I must actually be paranoid I'll have "current" skeletons dragged out, because apparently I "know" they would never go after anyone for what they did as a minor.

And that's fucking hilarious, because it's completely defused my anxiety they'll go after me, exactly as I intended when I sent that DM, in spite of their confidence I "played myself" by drawing their gaze back to me. No, you dumb shitheads, I am in fact terrified of things I did and said as a minor being dragged out of ancient history.

Which goes to show the point I was making about how this just proves for a fact they don't care about minors being groomed. I mean, I'm turning thirty in May. What does someone whose thirty who was groomed as a child look like? Do you think there might be some damage? Is not the reason kids being groomed is bad is because it hurts them so badly that when they're thirty they're still really sad and scared of all that shit happening again?

Minors being groomed are a totally abstract concept to callout blogs. They do not care about actual people at all and never will.

i guess i'm wondering if you feel there's a material difference between collecting screenshots of things trans people say that are harmful to other trans people vs the isff situation? like we're all no strangers to using screenshots of people spreading rhetoric to make a point, so what makes this different from the people including yourself saying we condemn xyz for all the shit she said about trans men, and using screengrabs to back it up?

Posts made in response to a particular thing are not an issue, but collecting and archiving screenshots specifically to use as a reference for continuous vilification is.

As far as screenshots go, the closest I've skirted the line, IIRC, is when I posted several unrelated screenshots of cat----f------n saying horrific things for the sake of illustrating that one of her?* posts going around was disingenuous and malicious, but even that was still for the sake of rebutting one recent post in particular. I similarly did not mind @coremilk bringing up previous posts I made in response to stuff I was saying at the time, except for that unlike most TRFs she was, on occasion, aggravatingly capable of convincing me that I was wrong the first time.

There have also been a couple times where I've made posts - including at least one about ISFF - about being frustrated people keep supporting some individuals in spite of things like transphobia or being tankies, but even then I've always taken steps to space out how I talk about individual people to avoid even the appearance of feeding a mob. A post to the effect of "this person supports a genocidal state and it's frustrating that people keep ignoring that" is fair, IMO, especially when I'm making active efforts to keep things like that to an appropriate minimum** even for people I think are complicit in horrible things,*** but what's not fair is taking detailed logs of absolutely everything objectionable that mildly Tumblr famous trans woman has ever said to hype her up as an icon of wickedness that people need to be warned about, as though she's a monster that could pop out from under the bed at any moment and must be made into legend so that future generations can be on guard lest she ever return.

And there being three or four blogs, all uncreatively riffing on her name, to talk about her specifically and keep those logs? That's fucking ridiculous. Particularly because she fucking deleted her blog. Like, if you dislike ISFF for what she said, good news, you won, you achieved the maximum possible victory. They claim it was oh so necessary to chase her off the site so she couldn't continue casting her evil black magic hexes or whatever, but continuing to fixate on her when she has entirely removed herself from the table is blatantly pointless unless you simply hate trans women and want excuses.

*can't remember pronouns but am assuming based on this crowd's fondness for accusations of malicious they/themming

**Also, while the posts of the core stalkers going after ISFF and similar trans women consistently get few notes, I know that my audience is much smaller than ISFF's AND most people don't care about the things that I dislike her for, whereas when it comes to That One Thing her stalkers are preaching much more to the choir. A huge number of her own following turned against her on this, which makes the hate blogs with their small direct audiences even more egregious in their completely unnecessary overkill.

***This mostly means people nominally on "our side," not Christofascists, TERFs, and so on. Tankies are in a weird position because I loathe them but still extend them these rules of engagement because I'm more capable of recognizing their humanity than, for instance, Matt Walsh's. A 'progressive' vatnik is a tiny bit better than a tradortho vatnik. That said, the difference may mainly only exist because most people are simply ignorant of how scumfuckingly evil tankies are and the very real harm they contribute to, so I have to some extent tolerate their presence and accept that they're afforded rights by the consensus. I certainly wish people cared way more than they do about tankies and didn't treat it as normal. Like, I don't really have a choice there. In any case though, even if 'progressive' tankies were seen as badly as they ideally should be, callout blogs are still weird as fuck and serve no purpose other than being Two Minute Hate bullshit that's almost always used against marginalized people for some mysterious reason.
