If you say shit like “Palestinians should die” or “Gaza should get wiped off the map” on my blog I will block you just as fast as if you had said “Jews should die” or “Israel should get wiped off the map”. This blog believes strongly in the safety and mutual respect of both peoples, regardless of the actions of their governments. If you think differently, I hope you find empathy. In the meantime, fuck off.

I think it is beyond insane how some people out there are trying to justify pressuring people into making posts about the Palestine / Isreal situation. You people out there genuinely need to realize a strike on a social media platform with millions of users and hundred thousands of daily posts won't reach everybody.

I decided to not address this topic in the first place since I simply am not informed enough and nowadays, I do not think there is any trusted source on either side. But what I can adress are those ignorant bloggers, who want to play the role of a hero, but all they actually do is guilt-trip people online.

On this hand, why are we not talking about other genocides that are happening around the world? They are not only happening Palestine, etc. For example, one is happening against queer people in Russia this very moment, and it is a lot deeper than you think.

If you look at the Ten Stages of Genocide, the crimes and laws against LGBTQIA+ people sum up to stage 8-9 of all 10 stages. The Russian government's goal is to eliminate all traces of queer life. Or maybe for the fact that in Central Africa people are, and were, dying and suffering because of the shitty concept this region has, yet all I see is people planning trips to Africa and no one cares or decides to speak up about it.

Not once on this platform have I seen someone address this, nor the other genocides happening all around the world.

In the end, it's up to each person what side they are on and what they believe. But do not go around trying to cancel people for simply not being informed about a situation and don't push your opinions on them.

The writers not posting a TLOU fanfiction is not actively helping anyone.

Children, mothers, whole families are still getting murdered on both sides, regardless of whether someone makes a post or not.

If you really want to help, make donations. Go to protests. State sources and resources for people to access. Boycott the big brands.

But do not boycott the little writers who are simply following their hobbies with no bad intentions whatsoever because in the end we also have our own lifes, families to take care of and feed.

Blame the people responsible for the war. Not those who play no role in it.
