#anti-LGBTQ+ harassment

Help LGBTQ Refugee Survive Camp!!

Hello! I'm Angel! And this is something my friend and moot, @starsinthenigth, told me about!

This is a fundraiser made by a guy called Judas (internet name NervesNebula), he's an American fundraising for his friend, Abdul who's currently in Gorom Refugee Settlement, because he's been the target of anti-LGBTQ+ harassment. For months, he's been relying on Judas alone, but now he needs more money than Judas is able to provide in order to pay for food and shelter. Abdul hopes to start a business so that he doesn't have to rely on me so much, but he needs money to do it!!

This is Abdul story in his own words:

" My name is Abdul and I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart, seeking your compassion, understanding, and support. I am a survivor, an advocate, and a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Today, I want to share with you my story of resilience, courage, and the desperate need for assistance.

Five years ago, I made the painful decision to flee my home country, Uganda, where my sexual orientation made me a target of persecution and discrimination. In search of a safe haven, I embarked on a journey into the unknown, leaving behind everything I held dear. Little did I know that my path would be filled with unimaginable hardships and struggles.

Since arriving in a foreign land in Kenya I faced countless challenges forcing me to flee to South Sudan. I am not just fighting for my own survival, but also for the well-being of other young individuals, especially children, who find themselves in similar circumstances. The weight of responsibility on my shoulders is immense, as I strive to provide them with a glimmer of hope and a chance for a better future.

As I stand before you today, I am compelled to admit that the road has been so hard. I find myself in a very bad state . Basic necessities like food, shelter, and medical care have become luxuries I can no longer afford. Hunger has become my constant companion, and the nights spent in the cold have taken a toll on my health and spirit.

Despite these overwhelming challenges, my determination remains unyielding. I refuse to let despair define my journey. I believe that within every heart, there lies a reservoir of kindness and empathy. It is this belief that gives me the strength to reach out to you, to share my story, and to ask for your support in my fight for survival.

The funds raised through this GoFundMe campaign will be used to address our most immediate needs. They will enable me to secure safe, stable housing, ensuring that the children under my care have a roof over their heads. They will provide nourishing meals, clean water, and access to healthcare, allowing us to regain our strength and vitality. Additionally, these funds will help us create sustainable livelihood opportunities, empowering us to break free from the cycle of poverty and build a brighter future.

Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a profound difference in our lives. It will not only alleviate the suffering we endure but also serve as a beacon of hope, reminding us that compassion and solidarity exist in this world.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read our story and for considering our plea for help.

Your generosity will not be forgotten our spirit of humanity. "

remember that if someone is online bullying you:

they dont know you

they dont know you.

they are spreading hatred towards you due to either their own insecurity, a feeling of power over you, or a preconcieved notion of who you are based on what group you are in, and misunderstandings.

theyre not hating YOU, they dont know YOU, theres nothing wrong with YOU.

And if they knew you, they wouldnt be saying those things.

For my money, the worst thing Somerton's ever done was in his response to that one person on twitter who pointed out his plagiarism on Evil Queens and was about to expose it on his other videos

He claimed that this person who was politely pointing out that he'd ripped people off was sending him death threats and trying to find his home address. What else was this supposed to do that incite his fans to violently harass that person? Honest question, what else could possibly be the reason to lie in that specific way?

I know hbomberguy didn't dwell on it too long because he was asked to reference them as little as possible, but beyond the plagiarism, the setting up Nick as a fall guy, the burying of other queer creators, that specific event is probably the most damningly irredeemable thing he's done so far.

Whenever he posts something new, it'll be the first thing I think of; that he's a liar and a thief willing to send unconscionable amounts of harassment to innocent people.

in a move worthy or Elon Musk or Donald Trump, tumblr ceo @photomatt is threatening to shut down the site for the outrage over tumblr moderation failing to protect and even targeting trans people. Oh no the people who work here are experiencing the same behaviour that trans people on this site have had to suffer, sometimes at the staff's own hands. Better burn everything to the ground.

why fiction DOES affect reality - a really bad rant by a bored anti radqueer

so radqueers and proshippers keep saying this and i need to state why its not true

im using proship as a catch all term, so it includes darkshipping proshipping comshipping etc

first of all, influence. we can experience emotions in reality due to fiction, and fiction can change our opinions. for example, spreading awareness in the form of fiction. that affects reality!!! i constantly think of "ohhh these people on the internet are awful" "ohhh im gonna say this if someone on the internet says this to me" "ohhh i hate that piece of media" now, is the internet fiction? is media fiction? yes! do those thoughts affect reality? yes!

now also, really just about proshippers here. shipping illegal ships, especially publicly, normalizes those dynamics. its not normal for an adult to love a child. its not normal for someone to hurt the person theyre in love with. proshipping normalizes these things.

using proshipping as a coping mechanism isnt healthy whatsoever, especially if youre sharing it online. putting pedophila, s/a, etc in a positive light isnt really good at all. to put a character in that situation, but keeping it as in "i just want a character to relate to, im not putting this in a positive light whatsoever" id say is okay.

to the proshippers that proship for fun, and to the radqueers, why. literally what the fuck please actually explain to me why you think thats okay

WARNINGGG

I AM PROBLEMATIC!!!!! I DO NOT INTEND ON CHANGING!! This is NOT me saying I'm an asshole, I just like stuff considered "problematic"

[fictionfreedom]

By the way (because a post keeps popping up and annoying me) people are allowed to identify with queer labels for trauma related reasons. People are allowed to say their asexual or Aromantic because of past trauma that has made them sex/romance repulsed or sex/romance unfavorable.

People are allowed to be lesbian because they have trauma from men and can only feel safe with women. People are allowed to be gay because they have trauma from women and can only feel safe with men.

People are allowed to be transgender for any reason because of past trauma that has given them dysphoria that they can only fix through transgender surgeries or presentation.

TRAUMA CAN AFFECT A PERSONS GENDER AND SEXUALITY, AND THAT IS NOT BAD.

I don’t want anyone to ever think I’m trying to take away their freedom and rights as people. Trans? Come on in! LGBTQ? Lemme pull up a chair.

Where ya from? Cool! Lemme hear about it once I’ve made some tea! You want to tell me about your beliefs in a non-proselytizing manner?

Come on in! Let’s have a chat! Do we not look similar? Good, let’s not trigger the Uncanny Valley! Do we disagree? Let’s find a middle ground.

But if you try to take away the same rights you enjoy from others, get out!

Also, remember that we all have preferences and tastes. And that is okay. It’s how you go about it.

I’ve already seen proshippers suddenly harassing antis who haven’t even interacted with them, simply for putting ‘proship dni’ in their blog intro posts. And also claiming to be therapists just to yell at antis that they’re delusional for disliking problematic ships.

Genuinely can we not do this? Just stick to your community. Going out of your way to harass others who DO NOT want you to interact is fucking insane. And pretending to be a therapist so you can claim your side of fandom discourse is ‘right’ to people who haven’t even interacted with you, is even worse.

the Cybernetciz Collective

thought it was about time for a new pinned post :)

Hello! We are the Cyberneticz Collective, a trauma-coded endogenic system of 760+. We collectively use the name Cyberneticz (which can be shortened to Cyber) and it/he pronouns. We are collectively genderfluid and a bi-gay. We are physically disabled, as well.

Some "hot takes" we have: - we are actively pro-endo/non-disordered systemhood - we are pro-ship (we actively selfship, though we don't talk about it much) - we are anti-harassment/anti-censorship - pro LGBTA+ and pro contradictory labels - pro slur reclamation - we are alterbeing (alterhuman) - we are furry/s - we are anti-AI - we are pro-kink - we believe in self dxing - we believe in mixed origin systems

We try not to engage in discourse, especially shipcourse and syscourse, but may sometimes engage/be dragged into it. We try to just post about ourselves and our love of systemhood, but sometimes this get derailed.

We don't always sign off on posts, but if we do it'll show as: ( name - pro/noun/s )

We will not use tags to sign off. We may blog about adult things, so we request that minors follow with caution, as we can talk about things that are not suitable for minors.

Thank you for reading :)

the argument that schools are pushing a “dangerous” queer agenda onto students is absolute bullshit because the only queer agenda that queers want to push for is a fucking average life expectancy. fucking sit there and think about that

[demonic-shadowlucifer]

Hey guys! I need to talk about this for a moment. I came across a post recently calling for people to spam TERF and radfem tags so they can become 'unusable'. And, while I hate terfs as much as you guys do, let me explain why spamming TERF tags is NOT a good idea, actually! Firstly, spamming tags is an easy way to get banned. And secondly, this can very easily cross into harassment territory towards both parties, but especially trans folks. In fact, you could argue that this is just going to cause MORE harm to trans people than good. Hell, one person already got harassed after they commented on the post. And while the post itself calls for people to spam the tags with 'positivity', movements like this always goes south, and you know damn well people are going to take this as a chance to spam vile shit. Not to mention, there's a high possibility that the TERFs are going to retaliate and... i'll let you put two and two together. So instead of partaking in a movement that's doing more harm than good, you can do these alternative actions: -Donate to trans people (mutual aid)

-Support and uplift your trans friends -Educate people on gender identity. Who knows? Maybe you'll even change a TERF's mind! -Call out your friends whenever they say anything transphobic (And if they continue, drop them entirely) -Share resources for trans mental health! Basically... uplifting and supporting trans people directly will be MORE effective than invading a bigot's territory.
