#and like#I’m following you and I enjoy your thoughts on worm#and want to see more of the animorphs liveblog#but it’s getting harder to care when you’re an ass about it#which is no skin off your back#I’m under no illusions as to how important my one random follow is#but I’m also sure I’m not the only one who would enjoy engaging more if they didn’t want to deal with being called stupid#and I’d imagine the point of a liveblog is for discussing and engagement most times#yeah#that’s my thoughts

yeah that's fair. thinking it over i don't think it's inaccurate to say that there are a lot of subjects i Do outline considerately, even if i think it's obvious--e.g. the ask about fatphobia in wb novels i answered a bit ago--but when it comes to the issue of, as with the other example you raised re butch scorpia, attitudes re gender non-conformity and like. gender and sexuality in general in primarily lgbt spaces (like fandoms). i think i severely overestimate how obviously incorrect or rooted in shitty rationale certain trends or ideas i find to be insidious are, to the point where i struggle to imagine that anyone perpetuating them isn't perfectly capable of looking in the mirror about it and has just, for whatever reason, elected not to. which this chain very much demonstrated to be a stupid ass assumption, because when someone asked questions about what i was assuming was bare-minimum-no-shit stance wrt portraying gender non-conformity and bisexuality, it did in fact take hundreds of words to explain the underlying train of thought to her. & i'm sure it would also take hundreds of words to really delve into the why and how of the scorpia-as-butch issue. i am, for the record, the type of person who would respond fine to 'that's stupid as hell, because' so long as the Because is sensible (i'm extremely consistent yeah) but it's not gonna be productive with 99% of people, no. & what the level of derisiveness i've been directing wrt the subject assumes isn't proportional to how severe the things i'm criticizing are in terms of material impact (microaggressions at worst) nor likelihood of someone believing them (it's more complicated to actually unpick bit by bit than i thought it was before being given cause to lay it out). so yeah, i should stop being an asshole about it, because being an asshole abt something is only justifiable if the thing in question is proportionally morally worse & willful. thanks for pointing it out i will strive to be kinder on the puter and think more carefully about if something is actually as obvious or severe as my first instinct is to assume. also re your tags i think "one (1) follower" applies more to like...actually massive accounts being unfairly scrutinized and monitored, given how conversational i am on here and what a small community it is i think it's both reasonable and relevant for someone following me to say this, because we may as well be at the same extremely book-fixated house party

I love fanon Alec, I don’t remember canon anymore. I’m here for the fics.
