@bound@weirder.earth ...the past experiences me and my headmates had with similar circumstances, and dealing with predatory redemption gatekeepers.

meta meta 

@bound@weirder.earth basically party A made a big mistake and misidentified party B as their abuser. Party A realized what they did and is now extremely remorseful and are trying to make things right. Party B's response was to stonewall and persecute Party A's attempt at reparations, citing the need for a more carceral measure.

I made sure party A was putting in an effort to fix things the best to their abilities. I also expressed disdain for party B's behaviour due to...

the problem with compromise for dignity is that it's not a compromise, it's a betrayal even to yourself.

You yourself may not be one of the weird ones that "make us look bad" or whatever. Maybe you're proud of that. But you must realize that subscribing to the idea that you ought to adhere to some degree of "normal" to be respectable means you're making the agreement that you yourself should not be allowed that right of outlandishness.

THEN you impose it on others

Rumination over Redemption Gatekeeping 

"Once a shitty person, always a shitty person." Or "Lol you traded one extreme for another!" Are lines we often got hit with back then.

How ironic then that my persecutor got themself """cancelled""" for pluralmisia, and the rest of them were caught being a part of the Furry Raiders.

I've been meaning to draw the *other* Linux mascot for a while and this ASCII art phase seemed appropriate, so here's a Xenia.

Rumination over Redemption Gatekeeping 

Given how we were preyed on and persecuted by moral narcissists as we we were clawing our way out of Altfurry spaces 3 years ago, and how traumatic that experience was.

I get some vindictive satisfaction from seeing them crumple and back off as soon as the question of endgame is put on the table.

this may seem almost insultingly reductive of a complicated issue, but really it's the definition, i would argue.

i think that's actually a really big deal, because it clearly marks a turning point. once history is forgotten or distorted to the point that your sense of consequence is skewed, it destroys any context you can have for empathy. hi terfs!

or really, if you see overpopulation as a threat, you're far removed from any real sense of threat in your life

@Felthry I did it for my CPU a while back, so I should be fine, if worse comes to worse, I'll just be in need to buy a new one, which is part of the plan anyways

@heatherhorns I live in HK, so yelling ACAB! Fuck all Cops! and Free HK! will get me disappeared by the CCP. So, I am definitely in camp A.

if your political ideology is something you don't feel you can bring yourself to say out loud in public, there are two possibilities here:

A: you're at risk on an existential level and need to be sure you can communicate without persecution

B: you're a fascist

oh wait, i nearly forgot

C: you're afraid of being persecuted but not in any tangible way that poses a lasting effect or consequence for you or your life. because this definitely isn't secretly option B

"Fuck you, got mine?" How about fuck YOU! I got your scalping operation right here, you parasitic lowlifes!

Seriously, crypto miners, GPU scalpers, and the techbros that defend it deserve to have their scalps removed.

If anyone has a spare GPU with 2 HDMI ports that is comparable to a Radeon R9 270x, that they're willing to sell for an unscalped price, hmu, and we can talk payment plans.

Welp, looks like my GPU's cooling is failing, and pushing 90 degrees just by watching YouTube videos. Gonna need a replacement and fast.

@glitter sometimes, we just need a break and just vibe with existence, and little else

If the person who wronged you clearly shows remorse, and did what they can to undo and fix the damage, but you won't even recognize the attempt, what exactly is your endgame here?

It's fine if you say that you're not ready or willing to forgive, but to instill a sense of hopelessness in the person via stonewalling really just sets off red flags.

I keep telling you. anti-kink is inherently anti queer. Kinksters have been here alongside all other queers -since the goddamn start of this thing- and they want that front -divided- so they can safely exploit queer dollars.
