Okay so obviously you Cannot go through a giant vetting process for everyone involved in a post before you reblog it, Every Time. But you can do bare minimum stuff.

You see the red highlight around OP? That’s from my browser extension Shinigami Eyes. That highlight means op is a terf, and that reblogging their stuff gives them notes and exposure. I didn’t have to vet them for that to find out because I have the extension.

You don’t have to expend a bunch of energy. Get shinigami eyes. Block tags like #terfsdointeract, #lizardpeople, etc. And then you can know immediately upon seeing a post that it’s shit.

You don’t need twelve step bg checks. You don’t have to memorize all the dogwhistles. But you Can take steps to stop yourself from accidentally reblogging beginner bigot beliefs and blogs very easily.

#basic courtesy #bigotry #antisemitism tw #terf tw #for the tag examples #also hm i wonder if op has a reason for not wanting people to check op for quality #this is how terfs and every other type of bigot work #by their own admission #it's the small stuff-easy to swallow first #men are worse because they're Socially Conditioned to be that way #it's not their fault but they also can't help it #to they're biologically worse #to all men are horrid #to 'do you ever stop being a man though?'#and boom now you hate trans women and nonbinary amab #but if you can catch them at the beginning by knowing their dogwhistles #or just blocking a terf tag that their community put on it #boom you have the warning and u don't get sucked into their shit #yeah u can't do a brain scan on everyone who walks by ur house #but u can set up a fence and metal detector before u allow them in
