People who "just want to ban one kind of kink art" ALWAYS have a longer list in mind and conceding in any way will just embolden them to go after more. They're fascists looking for the easiest target that will meet the least resistance.

I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking.

I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

I dunno if it's all of it, but definitely a lot of tradework definitely puts a lot of things into perspective. When you are working with things that will happily destroy you if you do something dumb, the little stuff rolls off quick.

I think it's high time we start having talks about amending the power of the pardon and allowing them to be revoked. If the administration is busy tearing up the constitution, maybe there's no reason to keep every part of it when they are removed from power.

Old officer trick, give conflicting orders so that regardless of what you actually do "you didn't follow orders."

Adding, Everyone who has or does work for ice should be arrested, but even under our legal system which isn't equipped to handle that, every one of those agents could and should be charged with something Negligence, Accessory to Murder, Murder for the shooter, not to mention the cover up attempt.

Every agent present. accessory to murder

SPEak for yourslef <i proofred allbof my psts.

We really need to start kicking puritans out of the furry fandom. Like full throttle aggressively bully them out of our spaces. We don't want you here. Either grow the fuck up or go somewhere else.

It is profoundly disappointing how many big "lefty" voices on bsky are actually deeply reactionary when it comes to weird queer subcultures. Someone who sees a furry and still jumps to "This is a pervert that is hurting The Cause" has fascist tendencies to unlearn. There's no other way to say it.

Which was, previously, ignited by harassment incited BY Parker and Parker's followers. There is no way to spin this that the blue sky side of the harassment doesn't go back to a foreseeable reaction to a post made by Parker.

Pushing back against abuse is community defense.

*sigh*

Disappointing.

And we're back to this again. You've agreed that it was a callout, you understand that harassment can be brought by highlighting something in a negative light, you admitted it wasn't an issue on this site and was brought up here by Parker. But you won't admit that Parker ignited harassment here.

Never stated that it was, however this crybully stuff is so disgusting. You don't get to throw punches and then cry when you get socked back.

Then you should understand why shining a spotlight on someone and going "Why though?" will definitely lead to harassment and is a foreseeable consequence.

So are we stating that what was posted was worthy of a callout?

"...Small accounts have viral callouts constantly, there is no difference in responsibility based on account size..."

You very clearly do not understand stochastic harassment.

There IS no reasonable response to that looks like good judgement and understanding of the ethics of having a large account.

If it was already going viral over there, not here, then, in Parker's own words "Why though?"

Why bring it here, why highlight an existing harassment campaign and paint it here.

It's clear that a lot of big accounts need to understand that.

And that's the problem. It seems there's a drastic need for some posting ethics to be learned.
When one has a large account, one needs to be aware of the fact that when one highlights something and implies it is bad or odd, a not insignificant number of people will see the target painted.

A)You WERE replying to the original poster UNTIL that was pointed out at which point you conveniently checked out.
B) By highlighting the anger that Parker etal received back without stating that Parker made the choice to highlight a user for harassment, you are tacitly stating that.

Not
A) on this thread.
B) in any substantive manner that doesn't try to construe highlighting a random user for harassment as thing that has no moral consequence.

Sometimes people hit back when they are attacked.

Gotta love how she just didn't respond to that.

You will never be pure enough. You will never be clean enough. A certain kind of person will try to bludgeon you to death with the bar of acceptability regardless of what you make or post.

So make or post whatever you want.

It's not all hobbyists, but it's almost always a hobbyist.

It's just the more leftist version of "economic anxiety" that centrist media likes to couch their support in. Sure it is good to help people and sure there will definitely be some movement, but much of the left needs to realize that side runs more on fear others, hate, and desire for hierarchy.

Absolutely! Only way to guarantee the horny you want to see, and maybe find a few others that will go with it!

its interesting how everyone who harassed & denounced others for defending free expression of sexuality via fiction in 2018/19 is now like “actually freaks are good uwu” yet none seem brave/self-aware enough to say “holy shit i was promoting fascist ideology & i helped create a very serious problem”

Came out so very good! <3 Absolutely love the expressions!
