"stop following transphobic artists and expecting me to not block you" -- random artist

Okay, that's a bridge too far for me. Following is not endorsement. "Don't RT them" and "don't endorse their beliefs," fine. If I ever caught one of y'all dabbling in this kind of purism, though, it's you who'd get blocked.

Listen, that's how I got through Christianity. I assured myself, quote, "God won't mind just lookin'." I saw problematic things. I saw ideas I came to hate. I got a lot of complicated ideas to chew on.

I don't regret that, and won't change it. Nobody gets to police my mental inputs as a condition of friendship, let alone of social media acquaintance. Nobody gets to tell me I can't even *look* at good work, just 'cause it's made by a crummy person. Christ, I'd lose half my bookshelf.

TL;DR: If you're the sort of person who would block someone just for following somebody, without even first asking the details of WHY and what the follow actually MEANS... I am not really enthusiastic about knowing you and will probably try to bite you. 😾​
