#rolling my eyes#what makes people post things like:#“oughh I'm upset that I got kicked out of a literature anthology project because people brought forward screenshots of me being aphobic”#as if they are not squarely at fault for being a bigot.#who is going to sympathize with you there? really. who is your target audience????? other bigots?????#sometimes you face consequences for saying bad things.#and no that is not a straw man I'm sharing near-verbatim what someone else posted.#there is not a leg to stand on here#like even if you ignore their aphobia (which ftr has been overtly going on for years since the heyday of ace exclusion)#they're like “and they had an issue with me being a misandrist”#as if posting your radfeminism-with-the-pricetag-ripped-off crap isn't also an issue#like no it's actually also bad to post things that are unscientific/ reinforce bio&gender essentialism/demean all trans ppl at once#way to make trans men feel like shit for transitioning/make trans women feel like they'll never be able to transition enough/#inevitably misgender non-binary ppl/prevent any productive or scientific discussion on the role of cis men in systemic patriarchy/#spread the false narrative that (mostly cis) women are an inherently good class of people who are inapable of causing (gendered) harm#and to complete the trifecta “they couldn't take my belligerence” - yeah you are a genuinely unpleasant person and you like harassing ppl#and you wonder why ppl don't want your work in their anthology#you are unpleasant to work with and unsafe to be around and you're upset you got called on it
