Something I have noticed within the many social media areas of the community including but not limited to tumblr, discord, reddit, etc is that there seems to be a big obsession on dividing everyone.
-Talking down upon or hating what is seen as the stereotypical regressor (people that like pastels, pretty dresses, feminine etc)
-Talking down upon or hating more masculine regressors whether male, female, trans or otherwise. Because they don't fit into some stupid box.
-Tall, short, skinny, fat, black, Asian, European etc whatever it is some part of the community will say that isn't the 'true' way to regress.
I've seen posts of people complaining that there is an oversaturation of whatever group of regressors. I've seen people complaining about minors that regress, I've seen people complaining that adults regress. There's constant streams of drama going on.
There's just so much drama. And I feel bad. I feel bad for the pastel girly regressors that people are mad at because they're the known regressor 'aethestic'. As if those individuals are not allowed to post so that others don't feel bad for not looking or being like them. As if they are the route cause of every issue within the community. I personally feel like that's an unfair expectation on them to have to hide who they are just to appease random strangers.
That sentiment goes out to every different 'type' of regressor. No one should have to explain or hide away themselves just because someone else is mad that they portray their regression in a way that does not conform to what they want regression to look like.
It feels like people seem to forget that out of the many things that make us different there is one thing that unites us.
We regress for whatever reason. Whether it's trauma related, a way to relieve stress or simply for fun. Regression is something we all have in common.
Everyone is valid.
Whether you're a girl,boy, trans or other gender.
Whether you're white, black, Asian or any other nationality, or colour of skin.
Whether you like bugs, cars and dirt, or pretty dresses, bows, barbie and pastels. Or if you're like myself and prefer more darker, macabre things.
I could go on and on about differences, but I'd be here all day.
I would like to see everyone being able to be friendly and if that's not possible then civil to each other at least.
To uplift EVERYONE and ANYONE within the community.
Enjoy what makes everyone unique and the same.
I know this isn't going to fix everything and I understand that there will be people that think I'm chatting out my butt.
But for the people that agree, please share to show that you are here for every type of regressor and your blog is a safe place.
