Re: the wank that never ends.
I really wish people would stop being obtuse in my inbox.
A white American was a racist bigot and called me a few slurs.
My dears. My darlings. My sweet, sweet summer babes. That makes her neither special, unique or memorable. That describes a large majority of the white Americans I've met in my life.
The white Americans I'm friends with? The white Americans I've dated in my life? The keyword for them is despite, not because.
I'm Mexican and the child of an indigenous man whose nation is widely known by a slur, because a bunch of Latine Americans aspiring to assimilate into whiteness decided to publish a large, racist, lying body of work and exploited the American centric bias to cement their lies as fact.
I had a one time horrific interaction with a horrifically racist dipshit. It is in fact incredibly racist of you to come to me, and try to misconstrue this as a grudge or a feud or an ongoing rivalry of any kind.
She was a racist dipshit, and I don't have to take that shit, so I have not interacted with her ever since she acted like a racist dipshit. Because she's a racist dipshit and I have better things to do than waste my time on it.
No, what you're doing is ghoulish and cowardly, because you're trying to focus on me, so you don't have to reckon with the long, documented, harrowing account of all the horrific, godawful abuse she piled on @jabberwockypie .
So let me make it crystal clear for you: I 100% believe and support victims of abuse when they come forward about their abusers. No ifs or buts or caveats.
I believe @jabberwockypie .
I will refuse to engage with your malicious sealioning, because I will not let you derail from the fact that credible, detailed, absolutely horrific allegations of abuse have come forward, and you lot of fucking vultures are all about supporting victims and stopping harassment and abuse, right up until it's someone you like who is doing the abuse.
I see what you're doing. I see what you're trying to get, out of insults and threats. I'm here to tell you it's not going to work.
And for anyone spectating this whole mess, I want you to remember this isn't about fandom nonsense anymore.
This is about someone with a large, engaged, almost thoughtless platform, rallying them to attack and silence the victims of her unspeakable abuse. Everytime you frame this as a fanfic dispute or dismiss it at "both sides are pretty bad!", You are playing into the game.
Do you really think FT put up that spurious, ridiculous legal threat to target me or the many, many people who've attempted to point out the blatant antisemitism in her writing? Do you think she was trying to silence us?
Please.
Believe and support victims. As @jabberwockypie so succinctly put it, abuse thrives in silence. Do not enable bad actors and their attempts to move the spotlight away from what really, actually matters.
