#I can't message the person who reposted it in private and I absolutely don't want to make them respond to me publicly

[tobi-smp]

well ! to describe the situation briefly, someone reposted one of my posts talking about the recent harassment campaign for technoblade and were (naturally) harassed into deleting that reupload because twitter is just a knife tornado hungry for their next victim

this is upsetting for a lot of reasons (the perpetuation of this cycle of harassment and abuse even on the small scale being the most important), but what I felt was actually my place to comment on in this particular situation (it’s not my place to speak for the affected person) was to address how the blatant use of bad faith interpretation used to interpret any person or content that the twitter hate mob wants Removed as bigoted or problematic was Blatantly used to force someone to remove my commentary on this Exact phenomenon. and the fact that I both pointed out the ableism in the technoblade situation And faced ableism for pointing it out Sure Says A Lot about the current climate of the situation.

I use twitter pretty rarely and when I do it’s not really dream smp focused, so I’d appreciate it if people who feel safe spreading it around on twitter would do so would do so: (Link) but just passing it around here is totally fine. note: I didn’t use any screenshots or names for anyone or anything except myself because I’m not here to put anyone on blast.

Here’s a comprehensive list of my posts on the techno situation up until now: (Link 1, Link 2, Link 3, Link 4)

and I’ll have a text version of my response/explanation under the cut

The entire point of my post is that people, namely the original creator of the thread but Many Many More, were making smaller but objective allegations (things that are objectively true, like techno making a joke on twitter asking if hitler is a lesbian) and mixing it in with Far Harsher allegations that take reading a situation in blatant bad faith to interpret it the way that they have and treating them Both with the exact same weight. 

Doing so both enables people to bolster the smaller allegations (it’s much easier for people to care about the objectively provable things if they can also buy into the idea that he’s either genuinely racist or just out and out cruel) And it uses the smaller allegations to retroactively strengthen the case against technoblade in these stronger allegations (it’s much easier to accept that technoblade had intended for this to be a joke when you list it Alongside a laundry list of edge humor that paints him in a bad light presented with commentary on how he’s an objectively awful person).

One Of the points I made was Not that technoblade has adhd so therefore we can’t criticize him, that is a surface level bad faith reading of what I said and just overall poor comprehension of the post itself, but that the fandom has a history of treating technoblade in ableist ways, particularly when it comes to reading his tone but far and beyond that as well. The cherry picking and blatant misinterpretation of the literal only point in which I mention his neurodivergency to discredit the point I’m making is literally just proving my argument for me. People are willfully using bad faith interpretation to justify stronger allegations that make their criticisms look better so they can strong arm people into acting how they want them to act and doing what they want them to do. People want to force technoblade fans to shun him and force technoblade into a position under them so they take an instance where his tone is blunt while trying to share a petition get justice for george floyd and they overtly and unashamedly interpret it as him mocking the death of a black man so they can shame him and the people who support him with accusations of racism. People see a take they don’t like defending a man they’ve decided is bad so they take the only mention of adhd in the post and twist it into coddling people with adhd to excuse racism to pressure and shame the reuploader into taking it down and apologizing. It’s weaponizing marginalized people to use as blunt objects to hurt someone, which damn well isn’t activism.

When I, as a person with adhd, autism, and anxiety, recognize when largely (not entirely but Largely) neurotypical people are taking advantage of the flexibility in how tone can be read to clearly come to an unfair conclusion intended solely to hurt someone and I recognize that tactics like this leaves neurodivergent people particularly vulnerable it is not your place to tell me that I’m “babying people with adhd.” recognizing bigotry against people like me is not babying and reducing it down to that is ableist, Point Blank.

At any rate, the point I was making with the end of my post was Not that technoblade is excused from having to apologize because he has adhd. It was pointing out the fact that the conflation of provable minor offenses with major offenses that he’d Have to defend himself against Because they’re bad faith readings of what he said creates a situation where he both Can’t address the situation in its entirety without leaving himself vulnerable for more misinterpretation and harassment And can’t take anything that’s been brought up in good faith (meaning that he Very Understandably wouldn’t feel comfortable addressing it when he’s well aware that it exists for the entire purpose of harassing him).

Disagree with that point, agree with it, whatever. Just don’t paint it as something that it’s not just so you can tear it down easier and harass people over it. Genuinely it is disgusting to me that my words were used as a tool to hurt someone else and people should feel ashamed for what they’ve done. They won’t, but they should.

Edit 2: I just came to realise that @/adiehardfan didn't actually accuse me of anything. The anon who said so might have understood her post regarding a different person to be me. I apologise for this misunderstanding, since she has blocked me I couldn't confirm it in any way. But that still doesn't excuse her stealing my edit, or blocking me, or not posting a public apology post regarding it. Once again, I apologise for the misunderstanding, but she still hasn't owned up to her mistake. I am in need of your help and support y'all!!!

Edit: I just came to know that @/adie_hardfan on ig is accusing me of harassing her, which is absolutely not true and I am appalled that she would do something like this! I'm literally shaking right now, that's how upset I am! Her allegations are utter lies!! I have no fuvking idea what to do!!

Hi y'all. As some of you might know, @/adie_hardfan on Instagram had posted my edit, added a watermark to it, and claimed it as hers. I came to know about it from an anon who had sent me an ask informing me about this. I messaged @/adie_hardfan privately, and while she apologized, she claimed it was a 'mistake' and didn't actually own that she unfairly took credit for my edit. She deleted the edit in question, and wanted to 'put this issue aside'. I was insistent that she should publicly own her mistake, so she confessed to a 'mistake' and apologized in her ig story. Only after sometime I realised that her story was visible only to 'close friends' so it literally had no effing use! When I tried to contact her again, I wasn't able to do it, and that's when I realised that she had blocked me! Why would she want to block me when I didn't do anything to offend her or make her uncomfortable? Unless she wants to hide something. For all I know, she could've just reposted my edit, or took credit for a different edit! And people will think she did it, while I'm the one who put in a lot of effort to create it!

I don't know if I'm overreacting, but I can't even sleep peacefully and I'm literally typing this post at 12:30 am!

Plagiarism is completely not okay!!! It's low, cheap, disgusting and just wrong on so many levels!! It's like you yourself are admitting that you aren't good enough to do it yourself! Please don't take credit unfairly for something you didn't do!!

I need your help and support y'all! If any of you are on Insta, all I ask you is to back me up when I accuse @/adie_hardfan of plagiarism. The only proof I have is of our interaction, but she has deleted certain messages that incriminate her, but I'm still including them

And the story which she posted

All I want her to do is create a proper post, owning the fact that she unfairly took credit for my edit, apologize for it, and promise that it won't happen again. And she should unblock me so that I can see if she does something like this again.

And yes, the person in question is actually @adiehardfan aka Pep, who used to be a mod for @lawsofattractionfanfiction . She has deactivated her Tumblr blog.

Please help me in any way, if you can!

Sorry for the long post, and thank you for putting up with me.
