@KawaSeadrake @Oneironott Eeeeee!!! ♥️
@Fuego I might just do that. :D
I'm in no way a skilled longboard rider, admittedly. I've always used 'em mainly as a fun option for transportation :3
@Fuego I've never gone surfing but I have a Sector 9 longboard that I've put a few dozen miles on :D
I should break that thing out again >..>
@Fuego Skate or Surf?
@Oneironott *plushwith!!*
@bea masto was _instantiated_ ready
@ElectricKeet Yup! And you'll be so glad you did. :D

@Irick You have convinced yourself in this context that the act of enforcing boundaries is more harmful than a complete lack of boundaries (which, I'd like to point out, is an extremely privileged assertion).
You are so convinced of this that you refute the direct and accurate accusation of being opposed to individuals asserting personal autonomy (https://mastodon.social/users/inmysocks/updates/3700527).
Seriously, just stop pretending you'll consider arguments.
community discourse
@Irick Those two statements are at odds with each other. One cannot make absolutist statements about a topic of discussion and simultaneously remain open minded to discussion around that topic.
You misrepresent yourself. That is likely why responses to your arguments weigh so heavily on you.
I will not discuss this topic further with you unless you are willing to seriously consider that your absolutist statements regarding whitelisting are primarily assumptive.
community discourse
@Irick You keep extrapolating this conversation into theory and waxing poetic on philosophical concepts surrounding the accusations you're making. I am not interested in that conversation at this time.
I want to know whether or not you intend to continue to argue against whitelisted communities without first taking time to understand why those communities chose to whitelist in the first place.
@baa It's beautiful!!

@Irick How about we get off the semantics train for a minute and back to the discussion at hand, please.
You, in a position of privilege, have defined actions taken by sufferers of abuse and trauma to restore a sense of security and community as "immoral" and made the statement that you "feel obligated to disagree publicly [and] use whatever power you have to oppose it."
You judge no person, only _communities of people_ formed from actions you deem _immoral._
community discourse
@Irick You have not called for a will to restrict the freedom of action, just implied that those who act in ways you disagree with are immoral for doing so. That is not a mischaracterization but rather an extrapolation near verbatim from your post which (insofar as I've been able to find) started this whole branch of discourse.

@Irick @brennen Let me know when you find the part in the Hacker Manifesto that encourages trying to force others to think the way you do as opposed to trying to learn /why/ they think the way they do and accept them as they are
'cause all I'm seeing here is you trying to find excuses for your fascist leaning "my way is the only way" Mastodon tirade.
Dragony plush thing! Friendly, non-binary, anarcho-syndicalist, ace.
