Yeah see this whole time I thought "no one" used LJ anymore, but then I actually go and post here and within 30 minutes I get a comment from you when on Tumblr we've been next to each other for ages and never interacted there beyond likes and reblogs. THIS IS WHAT I MEAN. Let's go back to having fun.
YEAH SERIOUSLY. i think i must still have email notifs on for my friend list here. which is pretty handy for moments like this hehe.
honestly tumblr is so intimidating nowadays. i pretty much just stick to reblogging #relatable text posts and #aesthetic shit bc it's too scary actually posting opinions haha... now that I'm like, Known to one of the scary mgs fans who is known for harassment and stalking!!! how nice!!
i seriously miss the ability to friendlock journals on here :<
I'm not even intimidated per se, it's just that most of the people who supposedly agreed with me on things have either moved on or just stopped engaging in any kind of activism there, and meanwhile I'm STILL just being targeted by reactionaries. They have no argument, no clue about any context whatsoever, no policies aside from "people who are different from me are wrong", and yet they have to poke their heads into every conversation about oppression there is. For instance, the moment I say anything about positive trans representation, truscum are all over my blog. I didn't sign up for this and just reading their gibberish about how ALLLLL trans people must be dysphoric and how I don't "count" is killing my brain cells, let alone responding to it. And then just posting on tumblr becomes a reason to have anxiety, because even if most people know these bigots are objectively wrong, that doesn't make it any nicer to be harassed by them
( ... )
UGH YEAH THIS. if I'm feeling bored I'll just read through all those dumb """arguments""" they leave on ur posts. i imagine replying to all that shit gets real tiring real fast :/
twitter is a pretty decent outlet for personal stuff and fandom talk usually but sometimes u need something more long form haha. i might start posting on lj again if i can make the time for it. and ofc I'll be keeping up with u and che!
This isn't targeted at you or anyone specifically, but it would help a TON if people ever at least reacted to me arguing with them. But then the main result is that they start harassing the next person too so it's understandable most just stay away. Still, when you feel like it makes no difference how much time you spend debunking this crap and the only outcome is that you've been harassed for hours on end, that's just. Not worth it.
I don't like how short-form twitter is, lol, and it also feels like such a hard-to-follow medium where in a minute you have 50 new posts. Maybe eventually I'll get one for "work reasons" if I can be bothered, but right now my attention span's been messed up enough by tumblr as it is. Anyway, thanks for keeping in touch! And I'm sure no post topic is too small to make. :D
oh it's not me who's scary it's someone else in the mgs fandom who has stalked and harassed other people and has done gross shit like defend child porn and necrophilia. there was a callout post about her that went around a while back. so i spoke out about how i didn't like that she was pretty much unavoidable in mgs fandom on tumblr and she CAME AND FOUND MY TWITTER JUST TO TELL ME IM WRONG... so yeah. that's kind of. killed some of the buzz for me recently so now i just quietly enjoy stuff on twitter with friends lol
MMMMYEAH... i think she's already been reported for the stalking and harassment but [shrug] tumblr's done fuck all about it lol. lj feels much more cozy by comparison. i like it here
Yikes, this makes our fandom trolls seem mild. It would be good to know who this is just so I know who to avoid...mind messaging me in private if you're not comfortable here? I'd just hate to accidentally talk to them, lol.
