I wasn’t going to say anything about the resurgence of old discourse, but this has gotten out of hand, so here we are. I’m going to say it as plainly and clearly as possible here: blocking is not a form of harassment. Blocking is the antithesis of harassment, meaning I am actively disengaging with you, so kindly do the same with me.
Being blocked is not an attack. No one is coming for you. I do not condone harassment of anyone on either side of this, and I’ve said time and time again, block and move on. Do not interact. I don’t control what my “pals” do, just as I’m sure you can’t control what your mutuals do when they go after creators.
As for why you might be blocked? Maybe examine why that’s the case.
Here might be some reasons:
You won’t stop talking about me.
I’m done with this shit and don’t want to see your posts anymore.
Your friends dogpile into the conversation to drag it out.
You do not want to discuss anything in good faith, but will take words and sentences out of context to victimize yourself.
You use inflammatory language I want no part of.
You/ your friends support the people perpetuating this drama.
You private QRT me on twitter to continue this conversation where I won’t see it.
I do not want you, your friends, or your priv accounts to see my posts.
I do not want to see your posts.
That’s all. It’s super simple. If you’re blocked, it means I want nothing to do with you. I’ve never asked anyone to harass you. Your race, gender, age have nothing to do with being blocked, only your actions. Actions have consequences, so do not try to victimize yourselves by trying to twist this into being blocked because you’re trans minors.
If you are uncomfortable with a certain trope, block the topic, ignore the posts, block me, block the creators who participate in the trope, and form your own groups and safe spaces. It should not be an incendiary statement to tell people to be nice to one another, and not attack creators publicly. As a minor, these adult topics are not for you anyways, so we as adults who enjoy these tropes do not have to cater to your comfort.
One of the best parts of fandom is that you can curate what you consume, blocking and tags are there to help you do that, they’re not a judgement, they’re someone choosing what they want their fandom experience to be. I’m not going to say anything further about this. But at the end of the day, if you’re blocked by anyone, they don’t owe you an explanation, just as you’re free to block people without causing unnecessary drama. Mutual blocking, besties.
As for the anon going around people’s inboxes dropping names and continuing this drama after it’s ended: stop it. Block this anon directly, do not give them any more attention, and let’s all move on from this.
