Like I understand the "its for archival purposes!" Argument. I get it. We are CONSTANTLY berated and told our experiences arent real.
But i promise you the people who are saying that shit have mountains of evidence saying the contrary they just dont care.
So please, spend your energy helping people by sharing resources. Lending a hand to offer support. And if youre feeling helpless and are struggling, reach out. Theres a few blogs here that are meant for that.
Regarding those ""blacklists"" though- while yes, you have no control over what your audience does with those lists, its extremely irresponsible. You have full control over the environment you harbor and making a list of people in general is real shady.
You know at least one person is going to send hate to every one of those blogs, and whether they deserve it or not its still harassment.
Theres also way too much suicide baiting. Im sick of it. It doesnt help anyone. I dont care how shitty someone is its a cruel thing to do.
You can turn your visceral haterid into something productive. Its possible.
If youre overwhelmed with hate, sadness, etc. Please, reach out. One of my favorite things to do is to take a breather, close tumblr, and peek out my window to birdwatch.
You dont have to physically go outside to get the feeling of touching grass.
You can even lists birds or other animals to me under anon if you want. I think that would be awesome.
You can also use your haterid to offer comforting words to others who are also struggling with you.
You can use your haterid to offer strength. Terfs may fucking suck yes, but see how many of us are sick of their shit in this tag? Theres so many. We can all have eachothers backs if we just paused for a second and decided to show more love than hate.
I LOVE what those bunny blogs did when faced with hate. They just took something they enjoyed and turned it into more love and support so there were safe spaces to go
