we have not been able to touch tumblr in over two weeks without severely dissociating and have just now come back. and i have some fucking words.
- nobody's allowed to retaliate in any meaningful capacity that actually hurts without "making things worse" (which mind you, is abuser language that's reminiscent of school staff saying that fighting back against bullies will "make things worse")
- nobody's allowed to use the same language endos use at us
- nobody's allowed to set boundaries towards people within the same community as each other for fear of stepping on toes about stupid bullshit like "polyminds" or whatthefuckever
and so much goddamn more stupid fucking bullshit
and you people call the anti-endo community a "safe space"? genuinely, how the fuck is someone supposed to feel "safe" in a space that is actively getting overrun by the other side that literally tells people to kill themselves and that everything bad that happens to them is because they dared to call their asses out? how is someone supposed to feel safe when they're being accosted by these people, and blocking and reporting doesn't help? how is someone supposed to feel safe when they're seeing other people be accosted by them and knowing they're not allowed to do anything back, because it'll "make things worse"?
because quite frankly, from the way i see it, this isn't a safe fucking space at all. not anymore. and us not being able to touch tumblr without feeling like we're not real or the world around us isn't real is pretty fucking solid proof of that.
