You can put two and two together and figure out that it's shitty people stealing the voices of black folk for their own benefit.

So basically, it's gaslighting. It's circling the wagons, and it's gaslighting. I've seen this happen a lot in my time with AltFurry, and I am seeing it here in response to being called out for anti black attitudes, for driving away a black owned and run instance, and in response to being held to task for enabling/participating in the chasing down of ex-snouts users to harass them.

These are the same folks involved in an instance project that extolled the virtues of inclusion.

As a victim of cult brainwashing, the practice of instance admins going on rants about how good they are is an extremely visible red flag to us.

They are using the voices of those who don't know any better to craft a pathology, to create a mass narrative that makes their victims question if what they experienced was real.

So, waking up and talking about issues, hanging out with my daughter while she plays RDR2 Online. This has been my morning. HBU?

And if you have to go out of your way to talk about how good of a person you are, chances are that you aren't.

In any case, the main point is, I don't care what ethnicity you are, toxicity is toxicity, and if your toxicity matches the abuse patterns of white settler colonialism, I will call it as such.

Whiteness isn't a skin colour, it's how your world view is formed around it, and associated settler colonialist attitudes that spawned from it. Nobody is immune to being white, I am a Fillipina/Hispanic Nonbinary Plural Fae Therian/Otherkin, and 3 years ago, I was white af because of the toxic colonialist-centric beliefs I used to hold.

It really isn't that hard of a concept to grasp.

Yeah, this is bringing back pretty unpleasant memories of being yelled at for trying to explain why certain things are wrong to conservatives, only for them to tell me to just sling the r-slur at them.

Sorry, but no, not sorry. I will not turn my discourse into a clash of ego-driven epithets just for your comfort, pleasure or entertainment.

It's not white-washing to tell you that your race does not shield you from your toxicity, that's what I meant by the Gamergate comparison, because this does invoke memories of NotYourShield, a mass-tokenzing project to whitewash its own image from accusations of misogyny and various toxicity.

Much like how you're using the ethnicity of the serial harasser you're defending, as a shield to whitewash his actions, and your historical enablement of anti-black sentiments towards folks like PlayVicious members.

You can spin tales of your own virtue all you want, that will not make the receipts and records of your own toxic behaviour go away.

PS: Your disdain for Masto essays is an anti-intellectual red flag. You may want to read a certain Umberto Eco book on why this is wrong.
