cancel culture
i have more thoughts about stuff like how purity politics in queer spaces interacts with all this but i'm tired of thinking about it. it's tiring. i'm tired
cancel culture, kiwifarms, musing
and anyway, what's the difference between a bad person and a person who's simply done something bad? how can you tell the difference? are you bothering to try?
sometimes a lie is just the truth stripped of its nuance
cancel culture, kiwifarms, needless venom
also, a hint: sometimes the targets you think are bad are not actually bad and you're caught in a web of deception that kiwifarms helped perpetrate. these are my fucking friends we're talking about, asshole
cancel culture, kiwifarms
i guess this is why kiwifarms gets away with what it does. it's still fucking despicable, even if it sometimes goes after people who genuinely did harm, because they don't actually care about justice, just destroying people and laughing about it
a certain leftist furry whose name i will not publicly repeat thinks using "evidence" from kf is fine because sometimes their targets really are bad. thanks! you are a dangerous individual and i will never trust you again
cancel culture
people who hurt people should be held accountable for that, no matter what. if a queer person with some small amount of clout hurt you, you deserve to find peace for that in some way
but i think we can afford a lighter, more restorative touch for people who, say, can't afford teams of lawyers and pr agents
to wit, if you dox a rich douche's address they can probably just hire a security detail and move
if you dox a queer person there's a decent chance they'll die on the streets
cancel culture
i feel like there's two different things we talk about both as "cancel culture"
there's the thing where we critically examine the actions and beliefs of people with enormous amounts of influence and hold them accountable
and there's the thing where we use the same mechanisms to destroy the lives of small, often queer, creators for making mistakes or for making problematic content
we play a dangerous game by conflating the two
@typhlosion The beauty of the Sorting Hat system is that there's a way to sort John Galt in each House.
Ravenclaw: The brilliant inventor, who developed the free-energy machine.
Slytherin: He will use almost anyone or any means to achieve his goals. He cares only for his select few.
Gryffindor: His will to change the world for the better.
Hufflepuff: His great concern for the plight of the masses, their rights and opportunities.

BEAN isn't just an aesthetic - it's a creed. A lifestyle. To Be Everywhere And Nowhere is the synthesis of maximalism and minimalism in the sphere of lifestylism - practitioners of BEAN will engage in sensation-blocking meditation while on a rollercoaster. They'll play chess in the pool. They'll go to a rave in a tuxedo and stand at the center of the dancefloor checking their watch. A BEAN party is hosted globally, the cake is cut simultaneously, and simultaneously the cake is left uneaten.

i was gonna say he would have been a gryffindor, as a troll maneuver, but i realized i didn't actually know anything about the houses
