#gensrs hope yall will be okay and the people who send these kinda things choke

hey im really sorry that you and your community have gotten harassment as a result of this, thats absolutely not warranted or acceptable under any circumstance, and if any of them are doing it on our behalf than i apologize sincerely and i hope they feel ashamed of themselves.

but can i kindly request you and your community to please read the room? a friend of mine got targeted antisemitic harassment. and it doesn't really matter who it was, or whether it was bait or not because the truth of the matter is theres still clearly antisemites in our community more than willing to send that to another human being for any reason. and you and your friends are not the biggest victim of this situation, she is. and to derail it and to make it all about you is not appropriate right now. take care

hi Cube, it's obviously extremelly fucked that these asks were send to your friend and to whoever else may have received them. I wish i could obliterate everyone who sends anon hate no matter who they are, especially this vile, because its one of the most cowardly things you can do on the Internet, meant to cause nothing but harm and give the sender a sense of power over another human being.

and unfortunately it's not news that people who are willing to send these kind of asks are in the community - we know the people who want nothing but chaos and hurt exist on the outskirts of mc.ytblr.

but the truth of the matter is that my friends get vile asks often too, even right now as you mentioned, I've seen them, they're not pretty either. and I don't want to make statements on who is a 'bigger victim' here - I don't think there's a point in that. everyone who receives hate has equal right to be hurt by the hate. I think everyone should be allowed to talk about it or not talk about it, depending on what they want.

the thing that annoys me is the way people immediately jump to attack a group of people because of the fact that someone claims to be from the community. we don't have a way to prove they're not, because they're on anon, and so we're supposed to - just accept the fact that apparently people are now running around with a list of dreblr members warning people to not interact with us?

like, if this is someone from dreblr they know damn well they're not wanted here. they know dreblr is strongly against sending hate.

but if this IS bait, and the freaks have reached the 'sign off anons to throw blame on a specific group of people' level - who's to say it won't go further? and how are we meant to defend ourselves then? how is anyone? this is what I'm worried about, and this is what my post was referring to.

so again, I'm really sorry that this happened to your friend, please let them know neither I or anyone I spoke with and saw talk about the situation would ever in a milion years encourage such actions. we are vocal about denouncing hate whenever the topic pops up. but several issues can coexist at the same time, and I don't think talking about what worries me is equal to not reading the room, especially when the room is a post on my blog with no tags.
