I don't think younger/newer users fully grasp the shit show that ace discourse was around 2014-17

It was so hostile that, to this day, discussions that begin to derail just enough can make me physically nauseous, some specific mockery trigger crying sessions years later. We lost most accounts with any sort of ace positivity. There was no information, no support, and all this damage was done predominantly by other queer people.

All this to say that you, however you identify yourself, should be engaging with aphobic comments the same way you do any hate. We don't sugarcoat or try to be comprehensive with people who are blatantly racist, homophobic or terfs, so why give it a pass just because it's coming from a queer person? I see how this tolerance goes and it's done enough damage as it is.

"zIonIsm meAns JewIsh PeOplE dEsErVe a HoMelAnd"

Zionism is a colonial project paid for by the USA

your "jewish homeland" was built on the slaughtered bodies of the indigenous people of palestine. zionism always meant the massacaring and the expulsion of the palestinians (as history proves). zionism was not made to be peaceful, they wanted the palestinians completely gone or dead. the majority of people who still believe in this "ideology" are extremly brainwashed and refuse to see the truth and you can absolutely tell when looking at every zio blog. anyway, from the river to the sea palestine WILL be free.

These protests only got violent when cops showed up. They only got violent when extremists and disruptors sabotaged the masses. All of this is intentional and meant to smear the movement. Because these students like many others since any of these protests began have said over and over and fucking over what it's all about and that it has nothing to do with Jewish hate. And if you still want to believe that being against Isr*el's gen*cidal onslaught of the Palestinian people is "antisemitism" then you are being intentionally ignorant and heartless.

I really think everyone needs to truly internalize this:

Fictional characters are objects.

They are not people. You cannot "objectify" them, because they have no personhood to be deprived of. They have no humanity to be erased. You cannot "disrespect" them, because they are not real.

The US House of Reps may vote as early as TONIGHT (10/11/23) to rush weapons to Israel, despite Israeli officials pledging Palestinian genocide.

Stop what you are doing NOW and add your voice to flood Congress with calls demanding they de-escalate and immediately cease sending weapons and military assistance to Israel’s destruction of Gaza.

If you are not able to call, email your representatives and say in no uncertain terms: we do NOT consent to abet and fund genocide.

Don't get sucked into the "if they really cared I wouldn't have to say something" spiral. No matter how close you are with someone, it's unfair to expect them to know things you haven't actually communicated.

“no matter how badly you think you’re doing it, someone else has done it a lot worse and been fine” is applicable to a wide, wide range of things and i say it to myself all the time
