#being clear about it because things are really bad out there with dogwhistles and outright antisemitism

[kateis-cakeis]

Just to be clear, I absolutely support Jewish people, and all antisemitism is abhorrent and terrible.

[benjaminthewolf]

hey! I hope you are doing well, I wanted to send this ask because I noticed something worrying about your blog, and while it’s not a condemnation of you, I wanted to warn you for your own safety

from the looks of it you have been writing a lot of requested stories for people that have incurred a bit of backlash, which you did not intend for

while I trust that you had good intentions, I think it is definitely in your best interest to STOP taking requests ENTIRELY

this is because you are being taken advantage of by people who want you to write their fetish material. While I trust and agree that there are people who are exclusively into SFW vore, there are also plenty of people who are aroused by the mere act of vore, even if there is no explicitly stated intercourse happening

for example, your FNF vore story featuring two siblings, while written with good intentions, definitely qualifies as pornographic material because there are a lot of people who are aroused by that and there is a good chance that whoever requested it was also aroused and just refused to tell you

one thing that a lot of people with niche, specific, not-inherently-intercourse-related fetishes will do is request art, writing, or other content regarding their fetish from people who either do not know what it is or don’t see it as sexual. For example, a lot of people on deviantart would commission fetish pieces from minors who did not know any better. Plenty of kids were asked to draw inflation or other fetish pieces without realizing that they were drawing something for sexual gratification.

THIS IS SEXUAL ABUSE. it doesn’t matter how you slice it. asking someone to create fetish content without disclosing that you intend to get sexual gratification from it, and subsequently using the benefit of the doubt, is abuse.

From the looks of it, as an outsider, you and probably others in your community are being taken abused by people who see your content as inherently sexual.

I do not mean to shame you for this or imply anything negative about you—I am saying this because I am worried for you. It is clear that you get a lot of nasty comments already and are going through a lot in your personal life. While you aren’t at fault for either of these, a big part of why people are upset is because they recognize the problematic sexual nature of the requests you are getting and are aware that people are getting off on it. It’s not your fault for failing to realize that these requests are sexual, but it is still important for you to know about it because you are being taken advantage of and are being criticized for something you didn’t realize you were doing

I’m sorry for reaching out in this way, I hope everything I said was cohesive, I would explain in more detail but I wanted to send this ask because I noticed something really troubling in a lot of your posts and felt obligated to say something

tl;dr: even though you do sfw vore your requesters are taking advantage of you to write their fetish content without disclosure or consent. I would strongly advise you stop taking requests because it has already led to a lot of backlash from people recognizing the bad intentions of your requesters/pointing out the dogwhistles

Okay everyone, I think its time I come clean.

I like vore in BOTH a non-sexual AND sexual manner.

Does anybody remember that old story from last year "A Nostalgia Trip With A Twist?" I was only 16 at the time, and yet I still outright used the word "vorniness" in that story, because that was indeed what I was feeling back then.

Since then I decided that because of my age, it was most likely in my best interest to not write stories like that anymore. I know that there is nothing technically wrong with what I wrote, but the fact of the matter is that my character in the story was 16, while the pred was an adult. Obviously in non-sexual vore contexts, this isn't necessarily a problem. But...a swf context wasn't quite my intention while writing it. I haven't written a story for myself like that since. And I promised my blog in my now-established rules that I would only post swf vore.

That being said, it hasn't been a perfect record.

You brought up the Big Brother story as an example of someone trying to get me to write fetish content while I am a minor, but I know the requester well enough to know that unless they are just a master manipulator, that just is not the case. One story that I DO believe was requested by someone who just wanted me to write fetish content was the "Little Red Robin Hood" vore story, which is ESPECIALLY problematic considering one of the prey is a child.

But...the thing is...I recognized that some people would get aroused by it. I knew that some people would. And yet, I wrote it anyway. I chose, willingly chose, to write a vore story that many people would get off to...that has a child in it. That is completely my fault, and I apologize deeply for it. There is a very real possibility that I directly caused a pedo to get off to what essentially boils down to cp, which is not only morally wrong, but illegal. It is for this reason that I will be privating that story for the foreseeable future. I wasn’t intending to write cp, I wasn’t aroused by it myself, but I still wrote a vore story that many people could see as sexual that features a child. 

I do not take guilt very well, and I know that many of you, especially those who read my vent story, know that I suffer from past trauma. I'm unsure if I'll be able to get my trauma voice to stop screaming at me over basically writing cp, but I really don't know. Hopefully I can get it to stop before I do anything stupid to myself.

But, as I'm sure many of you know, there is one more layer to this, LoveForSkekShod. I KNEW from the very start that Skek liked vore in a sexual manner. In fact there was one unreleased story where they asked me to pair vore with mpreg. From a writing perspective that wasn't too hard to do so I did it, but...in all honesty, the fact that Skek liked vore sexually, really didn't bother me. Like, really it didn't. Skek asked me if we could do a trade, I wrote my part, and they drew their part, and everything was fine. I was okay with it, completely and utterly. As such, I can't really say that I felt taken advantage of by them, and I really, REALLY do not want people going over to their blog and going "YOU MANIPULATED A MINOR INTO WRITING FETISH CONTENT FOR YOU!" because truth be told, they didn't. I was totally okay with what I was writing.

This is also why I allow NSFW blogs to like/read/reblog my stuff, even if the story in question WAS intended to be swf. It really doesn't bother me. I put the content out for the world to read, what a person does with that content is their business and their business only, and I do not want to be policing how people can enjoy my content. Doing something like that just...does not sit right with me.

Plus, as soon as I turn 18, all those NSFW blogs who look at my content, I can start catering to more overtly, and quite possibly make some money off of them, too. Horny people are a lot more likely to shill out money for things they want than non-horny people after all. Plus, if I get cut off by my parents in college, having an extra source of money besides just McDonalds is always a help.

So...in conclusion, my relationship with NSFW vore is...trickly as I am still legally a minor. But, you have to understand. I both broke my promise to my blog to not post NSFW vore multiple times, and pretty much wrote cp, so, please don't try to defend me. I am the one at fault and me being a minor doesn't change any of that. I only hope that I can make up for all I've done.

Thank you.

@trentreznor replied to your photoset “loveyblossuhbumble: emdots: PSA This is really important Why...”

@golbatgender​ i'm trying and struggling very much to understand what exactly you're trying to convey in your reply. i have no fucking idea what you're even saying?

I’m saying that the post is full of dogwhistles--harmless-sounding phrases that actually are code for things most people wouldn’t agree with if stated outright--from reactionary, gatekeeping elements in the queer community (also known as REGs). The numbers in the list I had correspond to each image in the original post.

“LGBT” for LGBTQ, LGBTQIA, or LGBT+: Usually a mark of someone who thinks asexuals and aromantics are straight, and probablyeven harasses them for saying they’re not straight. Probably also hates the word “queer” and thinks it’s much more of a slur than it has been for the last 20 years.

“Fetishizing” fictional characters: Something binary gay men and a lot of anti-kink haters seem to think is a problem but mostly isn’t. I guess it would depend on the fandom, but I see a lot more people shaming women for writing or reading erotica at all (or like...being attracted to men, which I think is mostly biphobes) than I see anything like what “antis” claim the “fujoshis” (read: any person in fandom that I don’t like) are doing. The “examples” given in the post? I have never seen anyone past middle school do anything remotely like that unironically.

Basically, almost anyone complaining about “fujoshis” “fetishizing” “mlm” (and they use “MLM” because they’re the same people who hate “queer”) has taken a look at one of the few genres of literature dominated by women and nb people and has decided to kick the non-men who built the genre and made it semi-respectable and sometimes even lucrative out of it and make make it a Men Only Club now. (It’s like computer science: let women get it started and get it to where it’s fun and workable and can make money, then take it over and stereotype it as a man’s profession, and watch the pay skyrocket.) I hope I do not have to explain why this is misogynistic and absolutely abhorrent. Meanwhile, the rest of the people doing the complaining have been duped by the former group, using their genuine concern for the well-being of queer men.

“Looking past emotional/physical abuse”: There’s an 80% chance that this is trashing completely consensual kink and a 20% chance that the characters are actually bad for each other and the PSA-maker is completely unable to realize that these characters are not real and therefore cannot really be hurt but can possibly be written OOC by fans, and that said fans know that the abusive behavior doesn’t fly in real life. Actually, 100% chance of that last, or whoever made the PSA wouldn’t have bothered.

“Just because they’re the same gender and you consider it hot”: Mature adults realize that a raging trashfire can be hot, but you only want that heat properly contained inside a stove that vents the carbon monoxide outside, not on the floor. “Antis” don’t realize there’s a difference and think all fire is bad. (Seriously, I’ve met three-year-olds with a better grasp of the difference between fiction and reality.) Also, it’s less “because they’re the same gender” and more “Heterosexuality is boring and so these are the only options left because most media doesn’t fucking pass the bechdel test, let alone have compelling female characters.”

“Because the dynamic is evolving and it fits so well, as well as they care for each other”: Not really a dogwhistle, except to say “This is really about which one is more canon, so we’ll slander any ships we don’t like.” With an undertone of “how dare you sexually desire anyone, you filthy woman, which you must be because you’re shipping a ship I don’t like.” There is a reason the term “crackship” exists. Sometimes people ship a ship because they find the characters attractive, and that’s not a bad thing. That’s how attraction works. It doesn’t have to be about canon. (Also, attraction isn’t just “care for each other.” Sometimes it’s “Ugh they’re so annoying but also hot and I want to get in a fight with them and lose.” Homestuck has a pretty good word for this--not surprisingly, because half the plot is meta on fandom culture. Of course you don’t do that in real life because it would be a disaster, but that’s what fiction is for!)

“Only like it because it’s lgbt”: What, all at once? In addition to just using “lgbt” as its own dogwhistle, they’re trying to hide that they only care about gay men (and maybe the bi ones who don’t protest biphobia and only date men). I’m pretty sure the only people who ship things explicitly because they’re queer are the people who are actually queer, or allies who are trying to deconstruct heteronormativity (i.e. the idea that heterosexuality is the default).

“So, respect lgbt characters and couples and stop fetishizing them you nasties”: Says the person who probably treats real people worse than the characters they claim to be defending--who don’t need them to do that, because they’re fictional, unlike the real people this person is  hurting. And honestly, I’m just reminded of Donald Trump Calling Hilary Clinton a “nasty woman” on live TV (and still, sadly, getting elected) when they call us that. Their only moral guideline is “I think you’re gross.”

This is a group of people who think that people identifying as asexual is “hypersexualizing” anyone who doesn’t and acting like sexuality is bad, and who are also anti-kink because they think it’s too sexual and violent. They only want sexuality to exist within the narrow parameters of what they, personally, find hot, and if it (or a person) is not at least hypothetically sexually available to them personally, it’s morally wrong. Everything else is just self-justification and a bludgeon against anyone who treats them as capable of using reason. It’s radical feminism repackaged to look like it includes transgender people, and the few adults in the movement are mostly part of a trans-exclusionary hate group who want to get the (much more trans) younger generation of queer people on board with it, or else can’t see past the fearmongering.

So, short version, the post you replied to looks good on the surface but it’s using phrases that actually refer to very hateful ideologies, and the problem it’s talking about doesn’t reallly exist on any large scale. It’s just to trick you into hating people who aren’t doing anything wrong and unwittingly spreading and growing accustomed to hate rhetoric. Oh, and it’s in an inaccessible format so I can’t even copy-paste its shittily-written text into this debunk of it. That’s why it’s bad.

And now I’ve answered this in way more detail and good faith than it probably deserved (though I wouldn’t mind being proved wrong in that respect), because I was pretty clear in what I originally wrote about it. Good fucking night.

[antis-delete-your-blogs-pls-thx]

Just to clear my name here as a "weirdo who instigates arguments on random posts", I replied to your comment on that thread because I am the OP and receive notifications whenever someone makes an addition.

Anyway. Forgive me for not writing an equally in-depth reply in parts, I'm currently in bed feeling pretty unwell, so my spoons are rapidly disappearing.

I think that the response to innocent-intentioned fandom criticism does overwhelmingly make people cry "anti" where none exist. I'm not disputing that, and I think that it's a mess and muddies the waters for actual critique that can make people both better readers and better writers.

But I think it mainly comes from paranoia. Not that anyone has ever been too fabulous about accepting critique, but fandom just six years ago was much more receptive to discussing media critically. It was when critique as a medium changed platforms from editorials to Twitter and Tumblr feeds that I think everything, for lack of a better term, went to shit. Creators and staff and dedicated fans are more accessible than ever before, and you can find their whole life story with a few clicks. Shit gets personal. And people started making it personal.

I'm reminded of the famous "Steven Universe is Garbage and Here's Why" video. Critique of Steven Universe itself as a cartoon is valid. It has the art style consistency of a toddler's doodles sometimes, its airing schedule was frankly laughable, and there was more filler than a stuffed turkey, and this is coming from someone who loves the show. But that video perfectly reflects a trend that's shown up more and more in recent years: attack the creator and not the work. I don't think of Rebecca Sugar personally as any less of a person for having a show that's stellar on some occasions and like grinding your teeth on concrete on others. I don't think she's a bad human being for writing in a few problematic elements that don't really get handled fantastically. But that critique does. It calls her a borderline Nazi apologist. For, funny enough, advocating pacifism on a show for 12yos (who are still susceptible to media influence). And she's a Jewish nonbinary person. Hardly the type of person who you're going to find holding a tiki torch. See what I mean about the normalisation of violence in media and personal attacks on creators?

So, yeah. The people who refuse to listen to any media criticism are wrong, and not doing themselves any favours. And the people who have outright said horrible things to you are no better than the antis any of them claim to be against. But the reasons behind a lot of their shitty behaviour are more from provocation than random chance. The reading in personal attacks, insults, and harassment doesn't just come from having a particularly sensitive and defensive disposition, it comes from direct experience.

And I'm sorry. I'm genuinely sorry that media criticism has been fucked over to the point where everyone gets labeled an anti. But maybe if antis hadn't have started their platform on treating people like shit, we'd have more people with an actually nuanced view of the difference between critique and personal attack. Because antis love to coat their rhetoric in dogwhistles, and a lot of the people saying "Sheith actually depicts a relationship that has unhealthy power dynamics, and I worry this has bad effects on the youth who would enjoy content of this relationship" are also saying "and Sheith shippers should get their eyes scooped out" elsewhere. I'm not making that up. I had an anti directly tell me that they only wanted to do media criticism of harmful tropes, and when I went to their blog to reblog the post in question, three posts below they were saying people who ship step-siblings should die. You can't play both sides of the coin, but they try to constantly, and it feels a little bit like going fucking insane every time I see it. Why the hell should I trust the words that come out of the mouths of people wanting to tell us to burn in a concentration camp (also a real experience) equally as often as they come from the mouths of those with genuine concerns?

Like, I'm not saying you should join in the anti-anti crusade or whatever you think we're doing here. I'm just painting the picture of mistrust and, yes, legitimately shitty behaviour that has come from years of systematic abuse. And that's what antis (actual antis) do. Abuse. Spreading misinformation with the intent to manipulate, gaslighting by coating rhetoric in dogwhistles and threatening others behind closed doors, shaming young and vulnerable people, doxxing and harassing people away from their support networks and careers? That's abuse. Telling people all the ways you want them to die in graphic detail? Abusive. Bullying people? Mocking people? Calling them clowns? Attacking their appearance and their identity? (All of these I have receipts for, mind you.) Abuse. Just because it's online, it doesn't mean it's not abusive behaviour. Purposefully triggering people, stalking them, sending threats to their friends and family members, speculating on their masturbatory habits or what trauma they must have went through? Harassment and abuse. Slandering people? Calling CSA survivors as bad as their abusers and falsely accusing them of pedophilia? Abuse. And illegal in a lot of places. Specifically going after clearly mentally ill people and telling them to commit suicide? Illegal. And often prosecuted. Because it is ABUSE. And expecting this site as a whole to react well to further abuse is just not realistic.

People are shitty because people are shitty to them. The only way to break the cycle is to stop being shitty. But I really doubt that's going to happen on this hellsite. So I blabber into this void, and you repeat yourself ad nauseum for five years, and nothing fucking changes.

Anyway. I'm sure you'll want to shake me by the shoulders for saying this, but if you want people who listen to criticism of media, and who call hypocritical anti-antis out, you could check out some of the people I reblog from. Korrasera does some amazing media criticism while still maintaining pro ship positions. I can point out the posts calling out other anti-antis on bad behaviour. I can point out posts where people have told me I was being a snappish dickwad, and I'm pretty well-known as a blog by now, which often deters criticism in communities where everyone fears the other for being an asshole.

You've had bad experiences with anti-antis. My blog can't erase your past with those people. But I can at least shed some light onto why people act like rabid dogs on this website, especially when it comes to ship criticism.

Points get recycled and regurgitated because actually finding people willing to listen is rare. You know that. I know that. I'm not going to act like any of this makes any particular difference. You'll probably still get called a puritan and censorship enabler. I'll still get told I deserved my abuse and that I'm as bad as my abuser. This hellsite doesn't get better.

I don’t want censorship. I don’t condone censorship. I don’t defend censorship. I don’t advocate censorship. 

I LITERALLY NEVER FUCKING TALK ABOUT CENSORSHIP EXCEPT TO TELL PEOPLE NO I’M NOT IN FAVOR OF CENSORSHIP SO CAN YOU PLEASE STOP ARGUING WITH ME ABOUT CENSORSHIP THAT I NEVER PROPOSED AND DON’T SUPPORT BECAUSE THAT’S LITERALLY NOT EVEN IN THE SAME ZIP CODE AS THE POINT I AM ALWAYS TRYING TO MAKE.

How fucking hard is it for the people who have the most to say about my opinions on toxic ships/fics, to actually READ one of those opinions once and grasp that I am not, have never been, and never WILL be for CENSORSHIP, the idea of telling people what they can and can’t write.

My only stance has ALWAYS been if you can’t write something without feeling you have to twist facts and talk over survivors and convince everyone that your writing has NO effect or influence whatsoever, in order to not feel bad or guilty or ashamed and defensive for writing it……like that should tell you something, and you should maybe take five seconds away from writing more of it to reflect on why the fuck its so important to you to convince everyone that what you’re doing is fine and harmless and they’re just completely delusional for thinking narratives can make an impression on people.

That’s not censorship. That’s not telling you that you CAN’T write something, its telling you that its not okay to wrap yourself in a fake bubble and pretend nothing you do matters or affects anyone else, just so you can continue writing something you maybe feel like you shouldn’t be writing, deep down inside already.

Asking people to THINK about the content they write, is not equivalent to banning that content, or even suggesting people ban that content. BECAUSE BANS DON’T DO ANY FUCKING GOOD. I AM IN COMPLETE AGREEMENT WITH EVERY ANTI-CENSORSHIP ARGUMENT ON THIS MATTER EVER, WHICH BIZARRELY MIGHT BE BECAUSE I AM IN FACT, ANTI-CENSORSHIP.

If the only reason people DON’T write certain things is because they can’t get away with it or they’re afraid they’ll be punished for it or whatever, that doesn’t solve ANYTHING. It doesn’t address the why of what draws them to write such content in the first place, and it doesn’t instill them with any greater awareness of how their content affects other people.

ITS KINDA LIKE HOW YEAH WE HAVE LAWS AGAINST MURDER BUT WE DON’T LET THAT STOP US FROM ALSO TELLING PEOPLE HEY MURDER IS BAD AND HERE’S WHY YOU SHOULD THINK SO TOO.

And unlike with murder, which isn’t something that generally cultivates actual supporters and communities with it being the source and heart of it (Manson groupies and murder cults not included), all banning things that society considers ‘taboo��� and people are already prone to justifying in past precedents - like alcohol in prohibition or inflammatory or revolutionary or controversial creative content - all banning or censoring THAT kinda thing does is give people who already have a sense of community, organization, that now has been taken away from them, that makes them feel or be aware they’ve actively LOST something….now it gives them something to push back against, while drawing support due to their status as underdogs, because who doesn’t like a good David kicks Goliath’s ass feel-good story at the end of the day, am I right? Thus ensuring that at some point, in some way, they’ll still end up writing and producing the same content just in some other form or medium or venue.

Asking people to THINK about the EFFECTS their writing might have on other people is not bullying or harassing people in instances where there’s zero actual harassment or threatening going on, when its actually more just that they’re saying things that make you FEEL BAD and you don’t like that and want them to just cut it out, just stop it, waaah. 

(And no, there’s not a one to one correlation between writing and reading. I am not saying that writing something guarantees causation, like just because someone reads something doesn’t mean they’re going to replicate that scene in real life, no fucking doi, but its not ZERO affect or COMPLETELY FOLLOWING A SCRIPT, like just two fucking opposite extremes are the only options here, with no middle ground whatsoever. The fact that writing a story doesn’t make you a nefarious puppet master pulling the strings of whatever mindless reader you suckered into reading your fic and falling under its hypnotic spell, now yours to command -  like….that doesn’t mean stories never have ANY effect on readers whatsoever. That they can’t inspire related thoughts, they can’t normalize questionable behavior, they can’t give someone a justification to do or say or believe something they were already on the fence about, that they can’t help connect people who seek out certain stories because they’re actually fucking predatory people and these kinds of fantasies are absolutely their wank material, and here, have a whole community of people to go along with that story, all talking up how hot that is, asking for more, sharing similar thoughts or stories….nah, its absolutely INCONCEIVABLE how that sort of thing could have any affect whatsoever, on human behavior, on the choices people make, the confidence that determines whether or not they feel ballsy or at least safe enough to act on certain impulses….

Nah, you’re absolutely right. NONE OF THAT can EVER result from the producing and proliferation of certain content. Nope, nope, nope, people who produce this content only do so after toggling on the safety switch that ensures that they have now entered the NO CONSEQUENCES ZONE, in which it is LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE for any action they make - you know, like ACTIVELY writing a story, ACTIVELY distributing it, ACTIVELY seeking out more, ACTIVELY sharing ideas, ACTIVELY encouraging someone else to write their own or being encouraged to write more of the same, ACTIVELY forming bonds and friendships and community on the basis of specific content appealing to them as being sexually gratifying….

Yeah, once safely in the NO CONSEQUENCES ZONE, any action a writer takes inside the zone is completely unlike every other action normally is. Any action now magically has ZERO ability to cause a REaction or have an effect or influence on someone else or y’know. A consequence of any kind.

ALL I HAVE EVER SAID IS IF YOU HAVE TO GO SO FUCKING FAR DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE OF CONVINCING YOURSELF ALL OF THAT IS TRUE IN ORDER TO FEEL COMFORTABLE AND JUSTIFIED IN WRITING AND READING AND SHARING THE SPECIFIC CONTENT YOU’RE DEFENDING SO GODDAMN HARD….

Maybe you should buy yourself a fucking clue, Nancy Drew, because something in YOUR subconscious is probably banging on the walls trying REALLY damn hard to get your attention at that point, even though most of you just REACT to that by raising your voices and yelling even louder at all those sneaky, insidious antis that got inside your head somehow and convinced that little voice downstairs to start acting up and raising a fuss.

FUCK.

CENSORSHIP.

I hate it. I’m not for it. I don’t want it.

You know what I want?

ALL I really want?

CREATORS THINKING MORE CRITICALLY ABOUT WHAT THEY WRITE AND WHY, AND MAKING MORE CREATIVE CHOICES THAT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THAT CREATIVE WORK HAS IMPACT, IT AFFECTS AND SHAPES CULTURE, SOCIETY, TRENDS, AND MUCH MUCH MORE. IT PERPETUATES AND ENABLES AND FALSELY VALIDATES ALREADY HELD RACIST, HOMOPHOBIC AND MISOGYNISTIC BELIEFS. ETC ETC AD NAUSEAM. 

ALL CREATIVE WORK HAS POWER. 

AND POWER THAT’S USED WITHOUT CONCERN FOR ITS POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES SHOULD ALWAYS. 

DRAW. 

CRITICISM.

That’s it. That’s the whole fucking sermon. That’s all I have EVER fucking been saying on this blog on the subject of writing racist and homophobic and transphobic shit and shipping incest, pedophilia, rape and similar stuff.

The fucking end.

Why won't the Left Recognize the South African Genocide?

According to Genocide Watch, the political left in the West is engaged in genocide denial. Almost to a man, the Twitterati scramble to point out how, for some reason, the Boer is not really being exterminated in their own lands- or that they had it coming. Welcome to progressive victim blaming. Its fine, so long as the victims are White.

As pointed out by Jack Montgomery in Breitbart,

“If you look at the footage and read the stories, you hear the accounts, it’s a horrific circumstance they face,” (Australian Home Affairs minister) Dutton had said, arguing that South Africa’s farmers “deserve special attention”.

“I do think, on the information that I’ve seen, people do need help and they need help from a civilized country like ours,” he added — prompting furious demands for a retraction from the South African government.

But rather than welcoming the country’s white minority as refugees, as they would for almost any other group, left-liberal media outlets and pro-migration non-governmental organizations (NGOs) were quick to condemn Dutton, insisting the farmers should be left to their fate.

It is not just Australia- most leftist publications in the West have looked away from this humanitarian crisis. I will give credit where it is due, the Independent has published a relatively clear-eyed report, Newsweek is recognizing the problem for what it is, and RT is ready to report on Julius Malema "cutting the throat of whiteness.”

RT, it should be noted, were making videos about the looming threat of land expropriation in South Africa four years ago. We didn't listen then- but then RT is Russian state media so it was an obvious ploy to influence elections, or something.

The genocide denial from progressive activists is shameful.

Yassmin Abdel-Magied, who you may remember claims Islam is the most feminist religion, outright denies the South African Genocide and claims that Australia really should import more Muslims instead of skilled White people, because of course she does. She is an unrepentant activist for Islam, but wishes to deny all others the same courtesy for their own faith or ethnic group.

Let me be clear. There is no evidence to prove that white people (aka farmers from South Africa) would be more beneficial to Australia than people from other nations (e.g. Rohingya). As such, it is rubbish to claim they should be provided faster assistance from Australia.

— Yassmin Abdel-Magied (@yassmin_a) March 15, 2018

Apart from centuries of demonstrable farming skills passed from father to son by the Boers, sure. There is no benefit to preferencing skilled people over the unskilled, in Abdel-Magied's book. It is odd indeed that open border advocates like Yassmin suddenly want to build a wall, but with a door that only non-Whites have the key for. Similarly, it is a dishonest ploy to conflate centuries of religious and ethnic conflict in Asia with the genocide in South Africa.

It is not in doubt that the Rohingya are suffering in Myanmar, virtually without aid from neighboring Muslim nations.

Even so, it is strange indeed to advocate for Australian aid for a community defined by political allegiance rather than religious or ethnic grouping when that kind of politics has no connection with Australia. Yassmin draws the line around Islam, and concludes that as she and the Rohingya are both Muslim, that's her team. Fair enough, but this is not a simple case of racist persecution, these issues are deep-rooted. Simply moving the Rohingya to Australia is not a solution to Myanmar's refusal to recognize the Rohingya as citizens or to end the bloodshed. Is it racist for a White country to help White people with whom they share a history as the sons of colonialists? Abdel-Mageid may argue that would be the definition of racism, and to be quite frank I for one do not care, because she would have to own that racism herself.

SHOW 👏🏽 ME 👏🏽 CONCRETE 👏🏽 EVIDENCE 👏🏽 TO 👏🏽 PROVE 👏🏽 ME 👏🏽 WRONG 👏🏽 OH WAIT 👏🏽 YOU HAVE NONE? 👏🏽 YOU'RE SPOUTING DOGWHISTLING BS? 👏🏽 THOUGHT SO 👏🏽 KTHXBYE.

— Yassmin Abdel-Magied (@yassmin_a) March 15, 2018

Australia, a secular society based on Europeans and their Christian values, recognizes the plight of another European Christian descended society and wishes to help. Could not the neighbors of the Rohingya, Muslim countries all, help their co-religionists and provide them support? If we're honestly looking for solutions it is self-evident that people with common cultural, language and ethnic connections integrate into societies easier than those without. This should not be a controversial position, but apparently it is racism to recognize that people in the world are different- unless you are an intersectional leftist, in which case you can recognize differences in relation to White people, in order to leverage power.

South Africa: with the government condoning theft of land of white farmers and doing nothing to stop their murder, 2018 is turning into a bad year if you are white and live in SA. 1.7 farm attacks per day an 1 farmer murdered every 5 days. This is genocide. #SouthAfrica pic.twitter.com/lceenJX8ks

It is racist to claim that Whites can be oppressed- despite this entire article existing as an exercise in highlighting the in-group preference that is exhibited by people of all races and faiths. If it is racist for White Australians to recognize their kinship with White South Africans, why is it not also anti-Kuffar bigotry for Yassmin Abdel-Magied to advocate for her own in-group? Can we not understand that having love and being an advocate for your own people does not necessitate hatred of the other? Abdel-Magied shows here that it is, as usual, group identity for the Muslim, but Christians- watch out. That's racism.

Apart from being such an egregious example of how not to make an argument, the leftist position is clear. If you are White and look at people who look like you being tortured and raped for their skin color with horror, it is you that is the racist. The implicit demand is "What about the non-Whites?" To which the reply should be- what race is more charitable, more willing to aid and more accomodating than those hated Whites? This is a sick ideology, and if it means that we are Alt-Right for opposing racist murderers, count us in. History remembers those who deny genocide.

I find Peter Dutton speaking about white farmers in South Africa while condemning others trying to come to Aus so incredibly racist. It’s one of the most flagrant racist displays I’ve ever seen yet people are applauding him. Pull your fucking shit together Australia!

What we are witnessing is the weaponization of ethnic cleansing in order to promulgate an open-borders and globalist agenda.

To put it mildly, this sticks in the craw. The idea that because the Australian government has been brave enough to recognize reality and try to help that this is somehow racist is not only insulting but exhibits the most appalling kind of anti-White bigotry.

Let me be clear: Farm violence, and crime generally, is a major problem in South Africa. It warrants closer inspection and much stronger policing. However, if you think it constitutes 'white genocide', you're being taken for a ride by race-baiters and proto-fascists.

Jon Rosenthal of The Economist, who is Jewish, will denounce all genocide except when it happens to Whites.

This is outrageous racism. Australia detains genuine asylum seekers for years, but opens its arms to a bunch of white people who do not face oppression. https://t.co/30Lv0xrnvE

Australia is racist because Rosenthal disagrees with their immigration policy with regard to helping people flee a genocide- though of course, #NotAllAustralians, Jon. Rosenthal will go so far to argue with a Black South African racist about what a genocide is.

Oh. Now you use the word "zionists" instead of Jews. Very clever. I have denounced apartheid. Will you denounce genocide of Jews?

This is the double standard that is being exhibited to varying degrees across the plaent, when it comes to relations between people of European descent and virtually all others. It has now become common to claim that there is no such thing as Whiteness when it comes to an identity, but Whiteness itself is toxic and must be deconstructed. That is the philosophical root in the West of our neo-Marxist political left.

This is the sharp end of the same ideology. This is the result of formented bigotry sanctioned by a state that wholeheartedly agrees that Whiteness itself is evil enough to be met with land expropriation, rape, torture and murder. Is this carnage really what the so-called progressives wish to advance? As we have repeatedly said in this magazine, this is what awaits Western nations, casually waiting for demographics to tilt the balance of power.

The rhetoric is the same as that parroted by the benign social justice advocates in your own town. The weepy students who wail about wanting safe spaces and segregated housing because of the evil Whites oppressing them will not speak out against this genocide. They deny it. They will not condemn the South African government, they will say, well the power dynamics are shifting and this is a good thing thanks to centuries of colonialism, and South Africa should belong to Black people. Apart from highlighting how the left really sees multiculturalism -as a weapon against Whites- this is dishonest, upstream thinking. The same thinking begat the extermination of the Kulaks with the Holodomor, but for some reason many leftists don't like to talk about that, either.
