okay i'm bored as fuck and going to go shower

feel free to send in some asks to alleviate my boredom pls

[theparvshallow]

okay they didn't ban me but it feels like it's time to break out the old second account just in case they do one day

JUST CHECKED AND THAT MOD REMOVED THEIR PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE COMMENT

[theparvshallow]

reddit mods? more like douchebag power tripping bastards lol

[theparvshallow]

what i mean is, i like that tumblr has more chill fans AND there are basically no rules. who the fuck is going to scroll back to your low-ass effort POLL to find out whether they're allowed to—OOPSIE-DOOPSIE—POST AN ANSWER/SPOILER IN A COMMENT. SOME OF US JUST SCROLL THROUGH REDDIT AND DON'T GIVE A FUCK.

*takes a deep breath* no but seriously a warning wouldve been good instead of passive aggressively complaining about me after removing my comments.

i know i myself am a reddit mod, but i try not to be like this.

He forgot to switch to his blackfishing account lmaooo

[weaselle]

it’s really important to me that people (especially young people) know how much of this goes on -- like, I have seen chat rooms full of people like this brainstorming together on how to propagate this kind of deceit. Often each will run a whole bunch of accounts as different identities. Many of them are stupid like this guy, who would be terrible at this even if he remembered to switch to his other account before posting that garbage. But SOME of them are actually really really slick.

And they will do things like start you with premises you can easily agree with, such as “I respect anyone who respects me” and “you should be able to be proud of who you are” and slowly, half step by half step, lead you places like “people who don’t respect me deserve violence” and “there’s nothing wrong with white pride”. 

Or they’ll start infighting among groups... they might have an account pretending to be black and keep re-posting a couple of pictures of mexican business owners making sure their businesses don’t get damaged during BLM protests... trying to make it look like mexican americans are “on the other side” to drive a wedge and overshadow the reality that uncountable mexican american protesters stood in solidarity with the BLM movement.

They might get real sneaky and have an account pretending to be bi, and then use that account to advocate for the inclusion of pedophiles in the LGBTQ community, using false equivalencies specifically to create a backlash against bi people or make people associate bi folk with pedophilia. Some 37 year old cishet dude might pretend to be a 23 year old lesbian and start blogging untrue fear mongering about how ace people use up resources meant to protect lesbian and gay people... because if they can get real gay and lesbian people arguing about it, that fractures a group that should be strong together, and alienates people who should be adding their strength to that group.

These are all the kind of thing that happen every day here on social media. ALWAYS do your best to talk to real life members of a community in person to round out your world view, and lean toward inclusion, compassion, and support when faced with someone online presenting a point of view that is trying to convince you of negative things about specific kinds of people -- especially people you would naturally identify or ally with.

Be suspicious of accounts that seem to be saying your enemy is the person next to you. Even if that account is who they say they are, who is the account next to them, whispering propaganda and rhetoric into their DMs?

Anyway, stay safe out here kids

for anyone who thinks that things that happen to them or things that they do when they’re young will haunt them for the rest of their lives, I leave you with this - I just went through my posts tagged personal, and I can remember almost none of the context behind any of the posts I made. I was almost always upset or angry with myself when I made those posts, and I thought the world was against me. learn to forgive yourself. you are human, you make mistakes, and do not let your past define you. instead, look forward to the future, and how you can change your situations to allow for a more positive outcome.
