Entered here for the people who have a hard time reading, the following states;
HEY HO, MY GUYS && DUDES && PALS && FRIENDS !!
first, let me preface this by saying that if you don’t want to see ‘drama’ ( as many people call it; tbh it’s not actually ‘drama’ but for accessibility’s sake i’ll refer to it as such ) then please scroll past this post && continue with your dashboard. reminder that i do tag almost every similar post as ‘drama’ so blacklist ‘drama’ if you don’t want to see any from me, ever. this post is not tagged as that, though, due to the fact that it needs to be seen && it’s not ‘just drama’. it is, however, tagged as ‘callout’ … kinda side-eyeing people who blacklist that, but i’ll budge on this one thing.
however, if you don’t mind such things, then feel free to REBLOG THIS POST as i am completely fine with it.
this post is also NOT UNDER A CUT due to my theme being less than optimal for viewing these sorts of things ( due to my lack of skill in theme design ), as well as the fact that to skip a post you honestly just need to use the ‘J’ key.
another thing— i have seen some concern about angry language towards called out users ( i.e. calling them names, etc.) which personally i think is the perogative of the person who calls someone out, so i don’t try to police what someone does &&doesn’t say in their callouts, especially since they’re probably right to be angry enough to do that, but for those of you who dislike it,this post contains no violent/angry language && no namecalling. i am not that kind of person. i don’t see a problem with it if it’s directed at someone who is a racist, misogynist, transphobic, etc. but i just wanted to start off this post by assuring anyone uncomfortable with the entire thing that this post( even the IMs ) does not contain anything worse than ‘dense’ or ‘hardheaded’ or ‘stubborn’.
second, let me also preface by saying that I AM WHITE. i am a white christian ethnic jew, jewish-austrian on my mom’s side, german on my father’s. this is all said from the perspective of a white person who has never had to undergo many of the things that POC have routinely had to deal with. i recognize my privilege && accept that there may be some things that i am not qualified to speak on. i tried very hard to stay in my own lane&& not speak for POC && only call out the blatant racism i saw && explain why the behavior is problematic && harmful. but if you see something that i spoke on when i should not have, please let me know && i will remember that for the future. i also understand that white people are inherently racist && need to unlearn their racist behavior. i’ve had multiple racist tendencies in the past that people had to catch me on && give me some tough love. so this is not a “white person trying to be savior of POC” post nor do i intend it to be read that way. even now there are things i have to unlearn && i fully understand && accept that. however, i don’t appreciate what theangryblade has consistently been proving himself to be like to people i count among my friends ( && of course people i don’t, too, because this behavior is inexcusable to anyone ) && as a white person i know that it is my duty to actively && unabashedly combat racism where i am able due to the very fact that i AM privileged && can say these sorts of things without fearing for my life or safety.
third, there is a related issue with me calling out theangryblade’s girlfriend ( damonxeternalxdick / loneespada ) which is just exhausting to read tbh but if you want to know what went down, i’ve compiled everything together here. it’s set in ‘mobile’&& ‘chronological’ view for easier reading, but if you want to read it on my theme ( which - i admit - isn’t good for screenshots or reading long posts LOL ) you can simply delete the ‘mobile’ && ‘chrono’ parts of the url. && that will make it so you are reading it on my theme. tags also don’t work on chrono/mobile so if you want to see any additions i made to said posts, just get rid of the ‘/mobile’ part of the URL. ( i do add some things in the tags. not hugely important ones, so it’s not necessary to check, but if you want to see all my comments, then go ahead. )
&& FINALLY, THE MAIN EVENT.
last night theangryblade finally confronted me about the posts i’ve been making about his blatant racism. which, if you’re following me, you’ve seen the screenshots i took of his comments like “take your issues back to the emancipation proclamation” among others, but if not, they’re right here [ x, x ] && i can provide others if needed but … those ones speak for themselves LOL. my problem with theangryblade is that they are defending a group of friends who are all either blatantly racist or have racist tendencies — which wouldn’t have been something i escalated to this level if he hadn’t then gone on to show how blatantly && unapologetically racist he himself was.
i’ll say, before i link the imgur of our full IM conversation last night, that he IM’d me at 11.39pm asking me what my problem with him was && eight minutes later ( EIGHT MINUTES ) he went on to call me a coward for not responding to him.
may i mention … i was asleep from 9.45pm to 1ish am. all of you who know i have delayed sleep phase disorder as well as chronic fatigue syndrome ( && less relevant, but i have bipolar ii with manic episodes that keep me awake at strange hours here && there to the point i can’t sleep until i am too exhausted to stay conscious, so the sleep at unnatural hours thing definitely happens often ) know this is a common occurrence for me, so i don’t feel the need to defend myself on this one. but it certainly sets the tone for the rest of the conversation. i absolutely was on my defense after reading that, considering it’s a more mild version of how a lot of cis boys tend to go on cis girls’ dating profiles && so on && call them pretty&& beautiful && ask if they want to go out && then if the girl doesn’t respond in 4 minutes ( the lowest i’ve seen ) they get called all sorts of horrible names … so i was already going into this convo knowing that he was probably going to have the same mindset.
you’ll also see a part in this screencapped convo where i call myself inherently racist. which is true, as all white people are inherently racist && benefit from racism systematically.theangryblade apparently hasn’t gotten the memo, as he pulls a “gotcha” moment on me as if i slipped up && said something that could end me ? && he continues to go on && say “i’m going to screenshot this && twist it so that YOU’RE bullied, because that’s what happened to me” so … honestly, i really would not trust a word this guy says since he seems to be completely out of the loop on basically everything && his intentions seem to be to paint me as someone who, i guess, is only doing this for the accolades ? honestly i guess he really is that out of the loop because even if he posts a screencap of me saying i’m inherently racist, no one will be surprised since all white people are inherently racist. tbh if he does post it i’ll reblog it myself (assuming he doesn’t post it before this post is scheduled to be posted ), since i have no problem with admitting i’m inherently racist since ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE.
anyway, those are some of my personal qualms with him as a trans man who used to identify as a cis girl ( his unnerving ‘i’m only waiting eight minutes before calling you names as if you spend your life on the internet && never sleep or eat or step away from the computer’ that many, many cis white men do to cis girls ) && white person ( his IM’ing me && in the last third of the conversation, telling me that if he makes an apology, i need to hold everyone off, as if i’m the leader of the group angry with him— yet another subtle dig at how he only thinks things are worthy/valid if they’re done by or to a white person, re: how he thinks you can only be racist if genocide or a similarly tragic event is involved [”what about the jews in ww2″] ), but it doesn’t end there. without further ado, i present to you …
THE ENTIRETY OF THE CONVERSATION.
( READ THE ADDENDUM’S FIRST BULLET POINT FIRST FOR CLARIFICATION OF THE LAST THREE SCREENSHOTS. )
honestly, this is where the callout ends because the imgur album speaks for itself. but tl;dr: tumblr user theangryblade is a racist && racism defender who believes that reverse racism is real, speaks on issues he has no place in, tries to label the legitimate anger of POC as “cyberbullying” him as if he wasn’t the one who displayed his racism in the first place, uses the genocide of jewish people to boost his argument as if racism is only legitimate if it involves genocide, && does not plan to apologize for his racist tendencies or those he hurt despite having the situation explained to him by another white person.
UPDATE: he posted an “apology” && it’s about as insincere as they come && serves only as a “i want people to stop calling me out on things that they have the right to call me out for” because, apparently, his blatant racist remarks should be overlooked because he “just wants to RP”. as expected, his supposed ‘apology’ is nothing more than him trying to save face && pretend like none of this ever happened, which is a luxury he’s probably used to, being a cis white male. but that’s not all. as you can see, he goes on to say that people should “get over racism”. what a winner. that his remark about “take your issues back to the emancipation proclamation” was bad, yeah, but ‘things have changed since the emancipation proclamation’. literally his “apology” is, like he said in the IMs, not an ‘apology’ but rather him trying to prove he apparently isn’t racist && telling people that 'bullying’ him ( LOL ) is just as bad as racism. sure, jan.
the third from last screenshot in the imgur album is a post he made regarding an ask that was sent to me several days ago ( && yet he’s the one who accuses ME of stalking his blog as if this wasn’t an ask a good two or three pages down in my blog ) wherein a user asked me why scarjo playing kaa in the jungle book’s new adaption was antisemitic. unsurprisingly, he didn’t seem to read the explanation very well as i explain right in the answer that scarjo playing kaa is not the act of antisemitism, but people casually saying it’s an ‘appropriate role for her’ is, since jewish people like myself are often compared to snakes, dogs ( of which i have personal experience with being called, directly aimed at my being ethnically jewish ), && pigs, called thieves && liars && misers, etc. ( i explain that i don’t find scarjo someone i would call myself a fan of in this answer due to her reported zionism && taking roles that were originally POC characters, etc. ) the last two screenshots are from his latest post after we had IM’d where he tries to pass off the legitimate && understandable anger directed to him as ‘cyberbullying’ as if he isn’t the one making openly racist comments && expecting no repercussions.
the tag for what happened last night ( the stuff surrounding but not actually being the IMs ) is right here in chronological order. ( add ‘/mobile’ at the end for accessibility. )
the user “rachel” mentioned near the middle of the IM conversation now goes by ray and is the user gebiixd, also known as sphxera. she has already been called out for her racism && refused to apologize, stating that she “hates everyone equally” && that you cannot be racist if you have friends who are POC. theangryblade was involved in the drama including rachel && tumblr user hadeneko ( who are both people who have displayed their racism as well ) so theangryblade’s claims that he just is trying to stop people from being cyberbullied are null && void as the only reason they were being “”“”“'bullied”“”“”“ was because they were caught in racist behavior. my screenshots for rachel are less extensive, as other users have called her out && taken their own, so most people have already seen many of them, but my screenshots of her that i hadn’t seen anyone else post are located here && here. ( the first is mobile for accessibility, the second is not due to problems with coding. )

Hello all. TAB here. Showing you another drama causing call-out post. I’m sure you’ve read it and you’ll see that this person @lethalfriendship is causing more drama then is necessary. If you noticed early, or if you head on my blog you’ll see an apology directed at the community that I have offended. But again, my name is dragged through the mud by someone who cannot let this go. If you intend on slandering my name then I guess you can go ahead but please for the love of God. Lets this die. I have apologized sincerely, and I wish to end this. All you are seeing by this person posting this is someone who is seeking attention and who wants to push as much unnecessary drama for everyone to see. Don’t believe me, look at how much of their blog is about me… We have never spoke since last night. And they have also pushed drama onto other blogs. To call me a stalker in this thread is hypocritical and obnoxious.
If you need to, My page and this blog Saltybleachreceipts both have my apology.
Thank you for your time and please let the drama end. TAB
Thank you for your contribution!
Edit; I forgot to addthis,even though I’m supposed to be, so please forgive for that; @lethalfriendship
