CW BULLYING, LITERALLY IMMATURE HIGH SCHOOL DRAMA, SUB POSTING.

hi nonnie, thank you for letting me know! since i’m leaving this blog & this platform for the foreseeable future i figured i might aswell get a few things off of my chest before i go. i apologise in advance for the vibes this post will probably bring, the discourse & the posts that will ofcourse follow, but i honestly i am not the first person to be targeted by this creator and i’m sure i won’t be the last considering the amount of creators that have been bullied off of this app by them.

first off i’ve had multiple blogs that would be considered bigger blogs such as @/hvnlydmn, @/atsymu + now this blog which is the biggest of all 3. i think there’s a sort of unspoken responsibility that comes with being a bigger blog which i know is no fun but it’s also because it can be super harmful on a site like this, when people weaponise their following.

on that note i’ll start this post by saying that i’ve known tee for probably around 3/4 years, maybe? we were mutuals on hvnlydmn & atsymu and we continued to talk on discord even when i was off of tumblr. i will honestly admit to this day i have never had a negative interaction with tee to my face and she was genuinely supportive of me during any discourse i was involved in. i am not some angel, i’ve had my fair share of crap on this app (of my own doing) but this post is not meant to come across like “oh she doesn’t like me so i’m calling her out” no. im sorry if this doesn’t line up with my brand and my ‘victim complex’ but i’m not gonna lie down and let someone on a power trip on a hobby app drag me through the mud.

first off i had began to get some off vibes from tee when i had started writing on garoujo, notably when i’d just hit my first milestone which was probably around 1k. during this i had decided to move my instagram theme from my main blog to my writing blog.

i’d noticed tee subposting (on main and on her personal blog which i followed at the time) about someone basically using the same theme as her, which after then clicking onto her blog i realised was an instagram theme. i didn’t think much of it, again me & tee were friends and she hadn’t came to me directly so ignored it. i was still a new blog and trying to solidly an aesthetic (before the beige lol) so i changed my theme / masterlists / layouts a lot.

a few more sub posts later i decided to message tee about it because with every thing i’d change / post on my blog, there always seemed to be another post. so i messaged her and got this response in: (i’ve blurred out my irl name btw) open up pics for convo!

so i let it slide, kept posting & that was that. probably a few days / a week later, tee had soft blocked me which then eventually led to me being hard blocked. i was upset ofcourse because i genuinely considered tee a good friend but i’ve always been a big advocate in controlling your space.

this was when, one of our mutuals in common (the first of many may i add) approached me on discord to say that just like now, i was being ripped to shreds on tee’s personal blog:

again i was notably upset about this because i was being accused of not only copying her theme but also her writing & masterlists, we did have a lot of mutuals in common so it was also upsetting knowing they would all be seeing these posts aswell. i allowed myself one sub post about “creating a narrative” because i was particularly frustrated but tee then also subposted about this, even though she had me blocked?

i would also like to say regarding our mutuals in common that this was not the first or last mutual to approach me regarding tee. i’ve had multiple people tell me that “they’re only mutuals with her because it would be more damaging not to be” “it’s easier to be on her side”. also i am not saying this is okay but i’ve had multiple of her current mutuals send me not only her posts, but screenshots of her private, personal instagram & also tell me about how all of them and their friends had a running joke / theory that tee made up her boyfriend (ex-boyfriend?) for attention.

regarding the accusations from tee i’d like to first comment on the instagram themes, again i had done an instagram theme on my main blog but it seemed to only be an issue when it was on my writing blog that was gaining traction. if the timing was off and it seemed like i copied her, i genuinely have nothing to say except it’s not the case— it’s instagram (which tee already admits she doesn’t own above) also the hanma writing? i’m still not 100% sure which drabbles she was referring to but i can only assume that 1. is when i posted a drabble about hanma fucking you outside of his subordinates house — this was a almost completely word by word rewrite of a suna drabble i done on my old blog @/atsymu i literally just changed the concept to fit tokyo revengers themes. i can post screenshots of this suna drabble also from my google docs dated February when i deactivated. the other one may have been some basic concept about him fucking you against the window.

she also mentions in the very first recent screenshot at the beginning of this post that i have apparently stolen concepts of fics / posts from her mutuals. what i want to say regarding this is, do you believe that i would have made it this far on stolen work? i don’t know any of the mutuals she’s referring to apart from 1 which i’ll get into. but every single accusation i’ve ever received has always come from someone associated or in contact with tee, she has always been at the root of it all but i have yet to receive a single anon or ask about me copying or taking inspiration from anyone’s work.

i know there was apparently a blog and an ex mutual of mine, who i had a lot of respect & time for who was under the impression i’d stolen their concept for this gojo fic. the whole premise of this fic is honestly not uncommon considering how many times people losing control of their techniques / powers / quirks during orgasm has been done in fanfiction. this concept was completely my own, i had originally posted shitposts about him losing control of his technique & also him putting you into a mating press / breeding before i’d decided to smoosh them together into a fic. we all read from the same workbook, we all have the same material to work off of — two people in a fanbase of THOUSANDS having a similar idea is not unheard of.

now onto the masterlist banners. the screenshot on the far left are the comparison photos that tee made herself— i’m sure you’ll be able to see them in better quality when she makes her own post about it; because obviously that’s going to come. first off i will say, i will admit i took inspiration from her official art masterlist banners — i thought hers looked good and i needed a masterlist so i used official art. fair game there although i only kept them for a few days before i changed again.

but onto the grey masterlist banners, i can honestly say i did not even know tee had this masterlist, also the only comparison i myself see is the colour. the only reason i chose grey was because i had started to use a grey / white overlay on my manga panels for my layout (as you can see far right), and as you know— i’ve always kept my colour scheme pretty consistent. on that note, regarding the actual layout of the masterlists— i’ve added screenshots from atsymu (that i could find due to it being deactivated) that shows the layout of my old masterlists, which was what i took inspiration from for my current. although the title font for each heading like headcanons is different, i had used the sort of old style, basic font that everyone uses before i had deactivated so it would match my fic headers i just don’t have photos obviously.

anyway on the back of this there was then discourse over me apparently copying tee’s kinktober masterlist, which again was not the case. but again due to tee’s following i had received multiple death threats into my asks the morning after i posted mine. as far as i was aware, the only similarities were the fact we both used gifs in our headers & the layout listing thirsts, hcs & fics (which is very common during kinktober but i admitted below i could see that similarity). unfortunately during all of this discourse was when ffflowers, my hate blog also came into the mix which then lead to tee reaching out to me in dm’s from her old blog.

the interaction between me & tee was pretty good, again she was nothing but nice to me directly despite the way she obviously spoke about me in private above. but as you can see below, tee herself told me that basically most of the similarities all made above were brushed off as basic. we spoke about the ig themes & i apologised, saying i could understand where she was coming from and that was that. i unblocked her & she unblocked me so i could reblog her post, it’s been that way since.

it is not my place to comment on other people’s experiences on this app but i would need more than 2 hands to list the amount of people that i’m sure have had similar if not worse experiences with tee. i know i have had multiple mutuals who have been bullied off of this platform & had their safe space ripped from them for little things such as: liking a character that this group selfship with, tee and her friends not liking their characterisation. they’ve even went as far as to go through other larger creators notes to check for minors so they can make excuses as to why they’re thriving.

i also know of a blog who was ‘blacklisted’ from tee & her mutuals as they self shipped with arataki itto at the time, one of tee’s friends also did, so they blacklisted this creator and had all of their mutuals block them for this which then in turn drove this creator off the app. there has been other notably bitchy things that i’ve heard but i have no receipts for therefore i don’t see any relevance in starting rumours.

i would also like to say i know plagiarism is a horrible thing, we have all been through it— myself included but it’s got to the point where being accused of copying tee has become a canon event. notably, bigger platforms have been ruined and driven off of this app for little things such as mdni dividers, similar colours schemes etc. and it’s the reason i’m also leaving.

i will say i have met some amazing people through my discourse with tee, notably people who have been in similar situations and i also apologise to any mutuals who we still have in common who are now sort of stuck inbetween. no hard feelings. although to tee: id be careful of the people you trust because it seems the loyalties they have to you are not as sincere as you may believe. you can also go to her personal & read the other things she was saying about me like how she was always so ? at how many people seemed to like me.

so that’s all i have to say, i’m sure dash will get a few responses from this but i’ll be logging out & turning off asks because honestly? couldnt care less. the only thing i’d change about my experience on this app would be i wish i’d blocked tee sooner.

i’d say have a nice day, but instead, have the day you deserve.

Hi.

I can't reveal who i am but i used to be a ex moot of tee (@/saetoru) and i don’t care if this seems cowardly to make a page just to call her out. after seeing lots of people share their experiences with tee i’d like to also add and show some of the stuff she’s done to remind people she’s not as angelic as she makes herself out to be.

me and tee weren’t close as she was with her little clique (they know who they are) and other people but the main reason we aren’t moots anymore is because i broke the mutual. after seeing a callout post about her way back in oct. 2023 with other people’s stories in the thread of reblogs / link (i’m sure you guys saw)

i simply didn’t wanna be associated with someone like that. i was just confused why tee was acting like it wasn’t her fault. she said she doesn’t have to provide proof because she doesn’t owe anyone anything when that doesn’t make sense. because if you’re gonna accuse someone, always provide proof otherwise it’s safe to assume you’re lying.

this was Tee’s response back in october to her being called out by one of her old moots also, she deleted this a few days before she returned to make it seem like nothing happened but oh it did. i’m putting this here for people to see again (if you already haven’t) because just look at this.

this is what a narcissistic manipulator sounds like!

the biggest thing that made me scratch my head was for her to immediately bring up past drama to redirect the situation and make herself seem like the good person, and address the other party as a “white girl who blackfishes,” and she tried taking the attention off her to bring up palestine.

are you serious? if she so called “blackfished” why were you supporting/defending her in the first place? shouldn’t you be in the wrong too? the party she was talking about didn’t even blackfish, from what i can recall it was a simple tan so again, this was Tee reaching and blowing things way out of proportion.

she keeps mentioning some random bnha blog but never gives the @ so she’s probably lying. how are you gonna accuse someone of plagiarism then your only evidence is “oh me and my moots saw the whole thing, so you know i’m not lying.” girl bffr. and for her to even say something as childish and stupid as “she’s stolen ppl’s skin tones and she’s stolen their ideas. not much to left to take besides your identity at that!”

you and i both read that right? this is a supposed 20+ year old, saying something as kiddish as that. she even exposed the persons @ in the tags and why did she do that? so she can make her thousands of followers / anons spam their inbox with threats, derogatory names, and literally anything else. and she has the nerve to say she’s not enabling that kind of behavior with her audience. she’s abusing her following and it’s showing.

and for her to sit there and say it’s not her fault for being in her own space and name dropping people without actually name dropping them is just absurd. subposting is the lowest of the low. If you’re gonna talk shit at least put the url while you’re at it. people can tell who you’re talking about even if you’re being discrete.

She has a private blog called @/clorindes where she uses it to "vent" and bash writers and laugh it off with her moots and even followers.

i know of this particular blog because like many others, if you followed tee that blog (her private) would appear in ‘blogs like…’ or ‘recommended to follow.’ after tee got called out, she privated it but it’s still up.

(i recommend blocking that blog) because i’m sure she’ll activate it again once things settle. i hope that’s not the case because how many drama, discourse posts, call outs does it take for her to fully leave this platform? this is chronically online mentality at its finest.

it’s been an ongoing rumor that tee has this tumblr 'burn book' to blacklist writers on this platform and it’s proven to be true. some of tees even own mutuals are in there, and its just embarrassing. you have to constantly remind yourself this is a 20+ y/o person acting like this, out of all platforms, tumblr…

i remember a while back tee drove off a few blogs just for having the same theme concepts as her. (is that even a thing?) like tee used to have instagram themes i think, yet when she found other blogs having the same, she’d send her thousands of anons to harass that person, and be so butthurt over a theme.

not gonna lie, her themes are generically basic and doesn’t even look like it takes much effort. so what is there to copy. i’m not saying copying themes are good and okay, but she takes things too far. i can see if it’s writing, but a theme or a layout? i just find it so mind boggling people stick by her side and support her still.

from her old blog she’d always say sneaky comments like these and laugh it up with her mutuals in the comments. it’s really…something, because why do you care what those writers do? she reeks of jealousy and envy, literally look at her tone.

“we all know yall just want the notes and numbers.” um, yeah? everyone wants recognition on their work, it feels good to know your works being appreciated. and her jab at shading writers who write half paragraphs was so unnecessary. because again, why do you care? how are those writers hyping each other up seen as ‘shady’ or ‘fishy’ behavior? just say you’re jealous and go.

she acts like she doesn’t do the exact same thing with her cult of friends on tumblr, spamming the tags with wtv.

miss tee, flat out you’re a nobody.

you have no right to judge how someone write. who cares if you have 30k+ followers on this old ass site. congrats ….i guess? in the real world, you’re just a miserable person who likes torturing people online.

she has this thing of coming after upcoming big blogs, if i’m not mistaken, the most recent one was a known jjk writer, kazu _____ another was a popular multi account munson____, and there were multiple others i’m sure. her following count boosts her ego a lot, that i can see. and she thinks it’s okay to say whatever and not get held accountable. well now she is.

notice how she came back to tumblr after a two month hiatus, turned anons on then back off. and shes been inactive for a few days. she’s running away from the drama because she knows exactly it’s no one’s fault but hers.

if you look through the long thread i linked earlier, actually read through the reblogs. if multiple various ppl are coming out to share their experiences (with receipts) chances are you should be able to tell who’s lying! she needs to be stopped and ran off the app, not those blogs who didn’t do anything. tee’s been involved with drama for a long time like i said before, way back in her tokyo rev/hq era in her @/hanmas era. so about three to four years ago.

it’s been said tee and her mutuals send anons to harass other writers and i wouldn’t be surprised if that’s true.

again, it’s a shame you have to remind yourself this is a grown woman in her twenties acting like this on tumblr. it’s sickening and she needs to grow up, and get the hell off this platform before she drives anyone else off.

thats all! thank you for reading

New Pinned Post / Blog Update (finally)

Obligatory DNI to minors, TERFS/SWERFS, bigots, etc.

DMs/Asks always welcome from anyone not part of the above

29M, He/they, Bi, single and not currently seeking new play partners. Always happy to chat though, so please feel free to DM!

This blog started as a way to explore my submissive side, but lately I'm realizing I have more dominant tendencies than I thought once I get comfortable expressing them, so very much a Switch blog with lots of both sides. (Suuuure it is 😂) Main is @alabasterandpitch

Still figuring my shit out, but I suppose I would describe myself as a service sub & pleasure dom, though I'm flexible there

The rare bit of personal content/selfies is tagged #sluttyme

NSFW preferences/limits below the divide

Kink list is a WIP as I continue to sort my shit out. Despite my shyness I'm generally understanding and open to trying most anything once, plus I'm looking to explore, so if it's not on the 'Hard Limits' list it's probably negotiable, just ask.

Kink List

Sub Kinks: GFD, ABF, FLR, JOI, facesitting, collars & leashes, free-use, conditioning, clicker training, orgasm control, tease & denial, praise & mild degradation, pegging, choking, service kink, pet play, mild chastity, somno, body writing, sensory dep.

Dom Kinks: Collars & leashes, orgasm control, tease & denial, overstimulation, praise & mild degradation, free use, conditioning, intox, sensory dep., somno, pet play, clicker training, generally whatever makes you needy and embarassed and desperate, save hard limits

Not sure if I have any preference vis a vis titles yet. If there's something you'd like to call me, I'm sure I can be persuaded 😉

Hard Limits: Infidelity/attached people, blackmail/findom etc., cuckolding, SPH, sissy stuff, extreme violence, scat, ABDL, anything illegal, minors, raceplay, needles/heavy bloodplay (scratches/welts are more than fine though)

This list is not exhaustive; I find I get off on turning other people on and making them feel good, so even if a kink itself mightn't do much for me, hearing about how much it turns you on can certainly give me a new perspective and pique my interest 😏😘

[wyllsravengard]

of all the crazy things that have happened to me i think getting subposted about a service top fic was the craziest. not even like on a side blog like on main when we were mutuals . Lmao

requests may not be open always, but my ask box is!

feel free to rant, tell me about your day, send me book/show recs, media (tiktoks/youtube videos), fics you want me to read/review.

just general rambles, chats, suggestions and vents are okay too!

if you do choose to vent, though, please give me a warning. i can't guarantee i'll be able to help but i can listen.

i may reply slowly but i'll get to your ask eventually!

however, i ask that you do not send me hate/threats or mean stuff in my asks or dm's. i'm a sensitive person and love to match people's energy but i don't wish to be mean to people.

if you have an issue with me/something i did, please tell me nicely.

please do not send me any depictions of violence such as self-harm, any type of abuse/assault or anything as such. i want this to be a safe space for everyone.

i kindly ask that you anyone doesn't ask me for monetary help, as i cannot do that right now and i feel guilty when i can't offer help to people. sorry.

i would love being mutuals with you! but please don't pressure me, i get really uneasy with that kinda stuff.

if you interact with me/my content a lot, i'm more likely to follow you.

i won't be following back on this blog as it is a side blog, but i may follow back on my main blog [ @fishii28 ].

please send questions through my ask box as my dm's get like really... cluttered and i don't really like using the tumblr chat thing.

please don't subpost about me, if you have an issue with me, please tell me via dm's so i can fix it.

mutuals can dm me but i doubt i'll get to it quickly, since, as stated earlier, my dm's are cluttered and slow. you can ask for my discord, though.

{anons!}

i love interacting with people, so if you don't feel comfortable attaching your name/blog, feel free to send me an ask anonymously!

however, i do ask that you attach a form of identification, like an emoji or nickname :)

but, if you do choose to use the anon feature, i can take it away as easily as i give it. if you send me hate then you ruin the anon feature for everyone.

[evviejo]

this is going to be a rant and a subpost, so let's go:

everybody is entitled to their opinion on chris chibnall's writing, 13th's era storylines, jodie and mandip as the actors portraying the main characters etc., we really don't have to agree on everything (though 13 is my fave, i love yaz deeply and have been generally happy with the writing - even if i'm not saying it's perfect).

BUT not liking a certain era/writer/actor/story best is one thing, acknowledging certain developments is another.

AND being excited for the confirmation of yaz's romantic feelings for the doctor, shipping them or whatever, is NOT belittling the strides towards queer representation on the show.

yaz and the doctor are super important. so was jack harkness. so was bill potts. so was any other piece of representation on doctor who, it being such an iconic series, such an important part of british tv and television at large.

so instead of berating people for being excited for the first ever sapphic relationship that involves a female-presenting incarnation of the doctor (because this is what it is) and saying they are antiblack or whatever, let's appreciate them all. bill potts, jack harkness, yaz khan, and the doctor - all of their (inherently queer from the human perspective) incarnations.

they are all different, all important.

ok here is my question. they all have main character syndrome. and are now all subposting about a non serious anon??? Please explain to me why these ppl have no life! SO ugly and bitter. except u, I like U

seeing a number of people here and elsewhere talk about NBC’s H*annibal series in terms of trans politics with largely 2 main sub-themes: 1. that the relationship between the two central characters “feels” t4t and 2. that the story captures something “trans” in the way that it deals with social ostracism, violence, and (ostensibly) the relationship between creation and destruction. 

To the first, I’ll say that I too am not immune to pointing at characters on TV and saying “that’s trans” for fun, and it can be fun to look at villains for that moment because its satisfying or whatever. 

But to the second, and the way in which it connects to the first, I’m profoundly sad about the way that it sounds like people are connecting to it. The article I’ve seen a lot of people float is about “creation through destruction” focalized through the writer’s experience of their top surgery and DIY piercing/tattooing experiences. I guess I’m struggling with the contiguity that’s established between those practices, and the kind of “self-making” (which isn’t always non-violent) that trans people often go through with the kind of violence on that show. Full disclaimer, I had to turn it off--I couldn’t bear to “read around” the way that psychological abuse and cruelty was the only way to express needs and desires, not to mention the unmitigated gore of the show I found very challenging. 

It reminds me of my experience of reading Nietzsche--which the show references explicitly. The afterlife of Nietzsche has a weird multivalent presence. On face, Nietzsche is a violent racist, misogynist, anti-semite, white-supremacist, etc. and his philosophy explicitly and repeatedly invokes violence in every manifestation as a means of accessing and reinforcing power. However, in reading Nietzsche, ESPECIALLY in “enlightened” contexts with other readers (who I respect and trust! I’m talking about smart people doing good faith readings) there is an explicit desire to recover Nietzsche--to say “well, but his method” or “yes, and his structure of thinking is still useful.” I can’t fully reject this approach either! If nothing else Nietzsche developed a genealogical method that was instrumental in the kinds of reading that I care about. But The real task is’t to stop there, it can’t be to stop there, because we have to hold in our mind the fact that these meanings we can read in the text are co-constituted by the most repugnant and violent imaginings possible. 

Looking at the moment that hannibal is having, my first thought was a question--why are so many people who I would like to consider myself in community with (young AFAB trans people) finding solace in this show that I can’t bear to look at? The article (which I’m not linking deliberately because I am reflecting, not trying to start discourse) seems to be in good faith--I fully believe the writer finds immense power in what they called the “creation from destruction” they read in the text. There was a slip in the discussion though--the writer saw the cutting into of their own body reflected more in the psyches of Hannibal and Will Graham instead of the actual destroyed bodies depicted on screen. I think that’s super interesting if deeply sad: the body was externalized to the dead bodies on the show, while the mind was transposed into the cerebral lead characters. 

I don’t care to psychoanalyze that too much. Like, is it because AFAB trans people I’ve seen tend to connect with stories about the externality of bodies as a way to process dysphoria and lived experiences of misogyny etc? Sure maybe, but I think that kind of symptomatic reading strikes me as almost self-indulgent (that old tumblr meme about ‘some people need murder to cope’ comes to mind). 

I guess I’m just seeing a confluence of something here--and I don’t know how to name it without spending more time on this than I need to--which comes down to a sense that the body is a vehicle for psychological distress and that modification (”creation out of destruction”) of the body is reparative, held at the same time that the body is only ever external to the mind, and seeing violence done to bodies is ok as long as it creates something for the mind seeing it. 

And that’s just not true!!!! I mean like, everyone’s reading and life experience is different and there’s no one way to “be” trans and I’m not trying to prescribe a way of being for anybody. But like reading Nietzsche, taking that message out of that show seems to ignore the horrific, repugnant violence which is  its precondition. I think it’s essential to see the elision between the violently dismembered bodies in the show and the creation/destruction of Will Graham (and I’m not even getting into the psychological violence Hannibal does against him which is nightmare-inducing). Transposing that onto the self seems to miss that key slippage in the show between “bodies that matter” (thanks judy) and the ones that don’t. Taken in real life, either the person’s own body becomes the site of this violence (as happened in the article) or the violence becomes externalized to an Other who matters even less than the person doing this reading (wherever abjection settles itself--from t*kt*k it seems like these readers are nb AFAB people who are trying to negotiate their own expressions of gender within their attachment to femininity who often direct this need for violence against “masculine women” whatever that means)

ive spent way too long on this idk just like what would it be like to experience your dysphoria as contiguous with your experience of yourself and with your embodied experience and recognize the urge to violence as predicated on a construction of something abject, and to instead reject that and start over from a place of care

(and im not subposting at you @ keneinahora if you see this--of course I’d love to hear your thoughts if you want to share them, but this isn’t intended as a weird passive-aggressive callout. I hope that it’s clear from writing this that I’m not addressing any single individual and the value that media has on an individual scale).

As a Latina woman i can understand frustration about Latin stereotypes but i don’t think this was one and a flirty fuckboy is not the main concern of our Latinx struggles if they would’ve been saying he was an absent drug dealing father or other common hurtful stereotypes I would be up in arms but they aren’t. I understand that you were trying to help but please consider actual latinx perspectives before commenting what you feel is offensive for a group you are not apart of

This is fair enough. I just want to clarify I wasn’t saying the ‘flirty fuckboy’ is the stereotype but referring to the noncon and characterization of hot headedness.

But you’re right, it’s not my place to say that it’s offensive to people of which I am not a part of. I still don’t agree with the characterization, though, and I think it’s harmful in general (showing a good character in this kind of light) and I am allowed to be open about that and I don’t think it’s fair for people to come at me for finding something someone wrote to be uncomfortable.

I admit that it was stupid of me to do a subpost obviously (and to speak for other people) but the fic genuinely made me upset and uncomfortable. I think it sets a scary precedent of what sex looks like for people who aren’t experienced and Poe being a downright dick to the Reader is just OOC, which she didn’t add the tag for until after people called her out.

You blocked me on my main acc. This acc is for interests only. But I couldn't see your response before you blocked me so I came through there. I don't wanna reblog this type of garbage on this specific account. I don't want It clogged with a banana puddin bloodstream. I still think lolicons and shotacons are disgusting as fuck but at least I can admit that my information wasn't 100% accurate. 1

I'm not saying I'm the most mature adult but atleast I'm not yelling at teen on the internet calling them rape apologists over and over again. Or supporting the people that do. You claim that you're an advocate to defend CSA victims from triggers. But you only defend those who share your opinions. Trauma isn't your excuse to do anything. I'm sorry but you can't always fall back on "but my trauma!! How dare you!?" 2

You can't rely on that forever. Trauma isn't your get-outta-jail free card. It's almost no better than saying "omg I can't help it. I'm bipolar uwu" I won't apologize for anything because I don't think you deserve it. Nor would you care. But being an "adult" means knowing when to stop poking the bear. I'm not going to reblog with you in order to make you feel adequate to "argue like an adult" and I blocked you to save migraines from your pathetic bullshit. Move on fuckhead. Learn to take the L.

Also like. Stop being a pathetic excuse and don't subpost. It's annoying. But that's your brand. So I can't do much about that. Please become a priest.

If a teen is going to act like a fool then people are going to treat them like a fool and waving the “they’re a minor” flag isn’t going to work here. If someone starts shit they can’t just back up with “oh but it was a joke and oh I’m a baby please put the velvet gloves on”. People have to take responsibility for themselves.

And of course, trauma isn’t an excuse to treat other people badly. But the key point is that it isn’t an excuse to treat other people in any which way--but it is a reason people would use fiction as a coping mechanism to help work through their trauma. And no one gets a say on whether that’s bad for them except for themselves and any medical professionals they work with. Random strangers on Tumblr can shut up and stay mad about it but raving about how they dislike how other people cope isn’t going to change a thing. You’re entitled to think you’re right just how everyone else is entitled to think you’re wrong. No one is using their trauma as an excuse to treat anyone badly. Stop reaching.

As far as the “rape apologist” stuff. What else does someone call a person who says it isn’t the rapists fault and it was someone else or something else that magically causes assault to happen? Huh? The only thing/person to blame for rape is the rapist. Not the victim, not fiction, not nothing. End of. Period.

You’re saying we’re dragging this out but you keep engaging and sending us asks. If you think you’re so good at taking the high road then walk away. Take your own advice and move on.

And as a parting word--mature adults know the difference between reality and fiction. Seems you still have some growing up to do.
