#my friend is a bully and makes it weird

@drifting-stars-mabel

The "post from another Dipper blog" that you included in your post "just intended to spread awareness" reads like this:

"You're getting publicly shamed."

"That's stupid. You're gross. Like really gross."

Yeah, this seems like a very fair post intended to "let people know" and not intended to harass or bully a kid. It's laughable that this post says "he is twelve years old" when the minor you're all bullying is real and actually that young.

None of you give a fuck about real people in the slightest, do you?

@pinetreethefinetree

And you said, "should they be writing the things that they are? No." Oh my God! Who the hell cares?? This isn't about shipping! (Or, well, it is, because none of you have real problems to care about.) But it shouldn't be — it should be about leaving people alone and blocking those who make you uncomfortable, not about harassing a kid into giving an apology that they don't even understand.

This is what you all are enabling with defending call out posts. "This guy should kill himself." "I knew there was something off about him." "I know what my next YouTube video will be about." ALL THIS HAS DONE IS ESCALATE THE SITUATION WHEN A SIMPLE BLOCK WOULD HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM.

As far as I'm concerned, you're bullies. Everyone supporting this ridiculous call out post against a kid is participating in targeted harassment.

ok but can we talk about the transition from being the weird unattractive girl/boy as a kid to suddenly being percieved as a hot gay person bc that shit is so jarring. but also like really wholesome? like wow I don’t have to conform to cishet expectations of attractiveness and actually people find me really attractive for the natural way I look and present myself. that’s so wild.

* i started 2 make a compilation of baljeet getting hurt and stuff hashtag baljeet abuse compilation bc idk . my dark twisted mind but ig mostly i just want 2 abzorb the “canon” baljeet “angst” so my made up shit iz also more accurate n stuff . tho i keep getting distracted grabbing other sillier clipz lol

[puppyudderly-dreamy]

the more everyone seems to think i'm really not that tall the more i begin to think that maybe my bad feelings abt being "too tall" are more irrational dysphoria than anything else

Effect I've shown to have on people in this fandom from time to time that I am proud of is making them actually speak their opinions and put them in the TAGS! Like, you guys don't know how it feels, to see someone go from "no I am afraid to say a thing because I don't want to be harassed" to "fuck it we ball tonight *passionately disagrees with the takes of toxic popular people and tags the post with fandom and character* 😎"

Like... guys, this IS the way to go, okay? More of you should finally beat it in your head that bullies draw their power from people that are AFRAID of them! If nobody covered in fear before them, they'd be nothing but stupid clowns in their stupid echo-chambers that just block away from the world and eventually having no one left to torture eat their own! This is NOT the norm when people are scared to post their interpretations in the fandom for videogames that specifically demand interpretations, shamefully resort to lurking in some private Discord servers just to share their art and thoughts, stay away from discussing a character they like because too many toxic fans put their claws on them and so on! I don't understand why many people are okay with this kind of fandom experience? And so many of them are older than me or unlike me have enough reputation to make REAL difference in the fandom, why?? I don't remember who owns a blog for suggesting headcanons for Soulsborne games but iirc they allowed bullies to scare them into making a rule against suggesting headcanons about Gwyndolin's gender because "people are mean to each other so it's a nono now and Gwyndolin is only they/them now ����". Like.... congratulations, you've betrayed the very point of your blog, which is to share different headcanons, to do what? To cover in fear before jerks that didn't grasp the concept of "up to interpretation"? Why would you do that, instead of showing people who can't respect different interpretations that they are NOT welcomed?

I don't know, man.. it is normal for autists to care about fandom a bit too much, I suppose. I don't see it as something inherently inferior to The Reeeeeal Life uwu. And so, I just hate to see people just willingly lend the power to bullies? Of course they are going to continue to make the fandom unpleasant, if they see that they can own the place by just leaving disheartening comments, laughing at someone with their mindless sheep mutuals in a reblog or sending a couple of anon hates! But like, when I realized a few other people saw this is unfair and should not be encouraged, and started at least saying something too.. idk, it gives me hope. It is hard to explain but I think 20+ or even 30+ age category is more than enough to move past the dumb high school dynamic! Not in the passive "eh who cares about fandoms anyway, it is not worth it and I am too mature to care" way, but in the "nah I won't stand for Cool Kids and bullies and nor should others" way

whats the weirdest thing you’ve ever normalised

i wanted to try to find something a bit lighter to say but there's genuinely nothing light in anything weird that i have normalised, SO.

i guess the weirdest thing i have normalised is exclusion, like actively excluding people and being very open about it. i wasn't the one doing that, it was done to me in middle school and that was part of the bullying i was subjected to, tho the adults (especially the teachers) were the ones who made me normalise it and bullying in general, because they constantly repeated to me like on a daily basis that bullying didn't exist and neither did exclusion, and therefore of course A 12 YEARS OLD IS GOING TO NORMALISE THAT

[barneysbigstompers]

i had to listen to multiple people admit to wanting to kill/abandon their baby if it came out autistic or special needs and i had to just sit there in disbelief.

this is so normalized ts isnt a joke it makes me scared and im not even autistic or special needs (well im not 100% sure actually.) but still it hurts and has hurt my heart for years when i see people talk down to autistic people like they’re babies or the evilest people alive like uhm…buddy you’re harassing someone over something they cant control that will never be funny in my eyes. never has been and never will. why worry about others? you have a life of your own. focus on yourself and what you’re going to do with you life.

a friend who'd wait :)

[faaun]

ok let's catch up quickly

[blujaydoodles]

Justin said I smell nice and I told him it was one of my wizard smells, and then we got silly with it because of course we did

[sage-way]

i have never once been the line leader and i think it slightly traumatized me in some way

[gen-is-gone]

We need to protect furries, especially kid and teen furries I am so fucking serious

[starkidlabs]

Can anyone tell me why I’m super confident and can actually talk to people when I’m in a situation where barley anyone knows each other, but as soon as I enter my place of work or a situation where I’m with my family members I lose my ability to speak.

[sadaveniren]

🙄🙄

If that is what you got from me making a post where I joke about how actual society off of the Internet isn’t going to crucify me or harass me for enjoying something perceived weird, and thinking differently than the average person, all while staying in my own lane (and this isn’t even talking about me expressing that a lot of this is - probably - because of autism meaning my brain is LITERALLY WIRED DIFFERENTLY BUT THATS OKAY) I genuinely question your compassion for people who are different than you.

Like.

I honestly do worry how you handle meeting someone who’s just a bit different than you. You must be someone who immediately bullies someone you think is weird, even if they have done nothing to you except have fun.

[my-thoughts-and-junk]

Sometimes I see sexuality or gender headcanons about characters and im just like dude im pretty sure they don't know what half those words mean
