white ppl stop using terms you see Blk folks use, bc when you parrot them you sound like a Russian bot and it is terrible

Someone having olive undertones does NOT make them 'brownskint'

Those of us that know what the words mean know you lying. Cmon

@Gumby yep, abuse knows no political alliance, and those who think being left automatically makes them not abusive is a huge red flag

w.e. meta, the blowback 

It's also interesting that people seem to be much more pressed about this defederation than when r.l. did it. I mean sure, there was plenty of blowback to r.l., too, but there seems to be a lot more noise this time. It's like the threat level from the w.e. defederation is bigger--w.e. itself being bigger and more people being affected is a part of it, but I think it's also because w.e. is more "mainstream" and not considered paranoid cranks. I think w.e. defederation is rightly considered the tipping point for legitimacy and respectability in the broader fedi, and that's got the bad actors running scared. I love to see it.

@ljwrites it's also low-key trying to twist the arms of victims under gaslight, to expose themselves to their abusers

Ignorance might not be wrong in itself, but you know what is? Claiming it couldn't have happened if you were not aware of it, or if you can't be thoroughly convinced of it to your own satisfaction. As a post I boosted eloquently put it, if you're white you're not going to see racism, not anything to the extent that BIPOC see it. *Listen* to the people worst affected. Don't dismiss people's lived experiences just because it's inconvenient for you.

w.e. meta, PV 

The amount of people who are crying "receipts!" is kinda hilarious to me. I know not everyone is Extremely Online, but this was pretty impossible to miss if you were at all aware of the PV situation or had friends from that instance. This isn't a statement of blame for not knowing, which is no crime, but a call to be aware of where your circles of knowledge and caring are, and why.

@Gumby that kind of rhetoric needs to fuck off into the sun, like for real.

"My mother abused me, yes, what of it?" Is how I'd respond.

My late mother pulled this abusive gaslight thing shit on me when I was younger, challenging me to tell her exactly what she did wrong when just moments ago she told me to kill myself and seeing you do this same very theatrical "Whhhaattt did I dooooo!?" shit, and people falling for your act is triggering, to say the least.

Fuck off.

The thing that disgusts me about you is that you don't even have the spine to own your own shit when your bs gets pushed back in, and instead you play this "woe is me!" game and diminish the harm you did while demanding your victims expose themselves to you.

Nuh uh, not happening.

Try whitewashing my identity again sinverguenzas, I dare you. You don't get to play the victim when you've done so much shit to harm my friends, and try to paint me as a target.

Unlike you, I don't even have the privilege of passing white.

Oh, okay! Good to know. XD

So yeah, this is what happens when you try to sell social activism as an aesthetic rather than a way to help vulnerable groups of people.

You end up swinging at the very groups of people you're supposed to protect and uplift, because your ego is challenged.

I have no problems with shitposting and all, but when victims are speaking up against abusers with social clout seeking to reverse victim and offender, making fun of the language tools used to describe that pattern of behaviour is a line I am drawing in the sand.

I am disappointed in you, I thought you knew better. Enjoy your block.

@extinct@redroo.ml there have been POC on the abuser's side and the victim's side. Don't let identity be used as a shield against accountability. I can vouch for those things happening, these receipts have been kept private for a good reason.

I mean if your response to valid criticism is not, "I'll do better" but instead, "these all the reasons this random stranger hates me!", maaaaaaaaaybe you are the problem. wild, right?

don't get me wrong -- unlearning unhealthy habits is painful. there's a reason we engage in stuff like DARVO, and that's because it *works*. it's a maladaptive coping mechanism.

but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to do better.

Reminder that key members of Monads Elekk and Myasstodon have contributed to the anti black harassment that drove PlayVicious into shutting down, and have also made a game out of seeking out and harassing ex-Snouts users for entertainment on Twitch and Twitter.

Some will try to dishonestly frame this as white on PoC violence, but the reality is that there are PoC among the victim and abusers side, and the abusers are hiding behind identity to shield themselves from accountability.

@hafnia @grainloom @twistylittlepassages Noelle threw my friend SoniEx under the bus to protect these abusers. If she was okay before, she certainly let others corrupt her judgement.

@grainloom One of the moderators of that instance is having a very public meltdown right now that is quite literally a textbook example of DARVO. As I've said before: it is pretty insidious because if you are not familiar with it, it is pretty easy to believe that the person who is abusive is actually the victim, per what they are saying.
