#S8N NOT H8N

[queersatanic]

Hello! What is the purpose of this blog and what are you advocating for? Is there a way to be a satanist without being problematic?

Well, for the longest time the purpose of the blog was to let people know that we were being sued by an abusive religious organization, to inform people about more specifics of that org, and to share good ideas that are usually not associated with modern Satanism due to its historical roots in cryptofascist and white nationalist ideas.

(Anton LaVey was worse than you think, and The Satanic Temple is its own miserable rabbit hole of reactionary ideas and histories.)

But now TST has finally stopped trying to sue us, so we're trying to figure out how to orient our priorities. Being targeted with online harassment and financial ruin for 4.5 years will definitely push something up on your priorities list, but also, nobody else seems willing/interested/capable of holding this subculture accountable. Given everything else going on, maybe it's not worth the energy for us, either — and without being sued, nothing ties the four of us together.

So at present, we're hibernating, backing up old social media posts on the website, and trying to help spread work other esoteric antifascists are doing, such as Capital Area Satanists.

Also check out S8N NOT H8N, the Global Order of Satan project about identifying good anti-bigotry metal bands.

As you probably have noticed, we tend to steer people away from Satanism because it's mostly a dead-end and populated with all sorts of vile, cringe, and otherwise off-putting people who fancy themselves better than they are.

But there's also some utility for lots of people processing specifically Christian religious trauma with ritual and intention, and you can find other people who share that orientation and interest. You just have to put in a lot of work to be proactively anti-racist and antifascist given the actual history of LaVeyan Satanism and its successors.
