#anti asian harassment

[dr-chibbers]

I don’t want anyone to ever think I’m trying to take away their freedom and rights as people. Trans? Come on in! LGBTQ? Lemme pull up a chair.

Where ya from? Cool! Lemme hear about it once I’ve made some tea! You want to tell me about your beliefs in a non-proselytizing manner?

Come on in! Let’s have a chat! Do we not look similar? Good, let’s not trigger the Uncanny Valley! Do we disagree? Let’s find a middle ground.

But if you try to take away the same rights you enjoy from others, get out!

Also, remember that we all have preferences and tastes. And that is okay. It’s how you go about it.

Guys imma be real with you

This whole anti-criticism “don’t like don’t read”* culture is kinda making it unsafe for poc to call out racism in fandom spaces without being called “pro-censorship”, “antis”, “or puritans/puriteens”

*i don’t necessarily disagree with this take btw, i’ve just seen this phrase be used to deflect any form of criticism and its getting pretty annoying

#fandom crit #fandom critical #fandom racism #i’ve seen black women calling out racism be called anti and puritans we are never making out of this shit alive #also #i haven’t really seen Asian ppl call out the blatant hypersexualization and simultaneous infantilization of Asian characters #which is sad bc it happens a lot #anyways #i do not feel safe adding nuance to ‘don’ like don’t read’ type of posts bc none of you bitches like to talk about racism and i don’t wanna #be harassed #fandom culture #putting all of these fandom tags kinda makes me cringe but whatever

I was chatting with my 弟弟 from China who's been in NYC for less than a year, and manz was talking about how he's afraid of taking the subway. I was damn shook, because that means he's been walking to our gym and hasn't seen much of the city.

He explained that people would push him, and just walking on the street people would try to shove or fuck with him and make racist remarks.

I was just like, "说出难听话，这些事我早习惯了。”

His response was, “我知道我该习惯上，但是我不想。”

#cw racism #cw anti asian hate #i always stick up for myself and those around me so i don't mean this in a passive way #but every time you step out the door and go exploring the city you do run the risk of being racially harassed or attacked #and the tension is something i have to live with especially now #every time you choose a fight you accept the risk that comes with it #i think every time someone from asia comes west they can't stand even a little bit of microaggression #and then they can't believe that this is just how i live #it's just a reality check every time that this is not okay #tears falling like peridots

[thowawayuntilfurthernotice]

As an Arab who grew up in the 90's and 2000's, the resurgence of Anti-Arab racism and Islamophobia doesn't really surprise me.

Let’s not sit here and pretend like westerners didn't normalize hating brown folks after 9/11. Everyone loves to talk about how "united" they felt after 9/11, but nobody ever talks about all the Arabs and South Asians who were attacked and harassed during that time period.

It is kinda fascinating watching folks who are liberal when it comes to most political issues go mask off whenever the subject of the Palestinian Israeli conflict comes up.

Either that or they pull a "Both sides" argument to try and justify a literal genocide.

Just a sad reminder that racism is not only still alive, but is gradually being normalized.

One of the most generally useful things to come out of Hbomberguy's plagiarism video and Todd in the Shadows' similar video on misinformation is how they bring transparency to the internet phenomenon of "I made up a guy to get mad at".

Seriously, I've seen people make up a lot of stupid shit on the internet over the years and it's often just a manipulative attempt to paint a group of marginalized people in a bad light.

That's the TL;DR version of this post. 

ANYWAY here is the long version

Those videos are mostly about James Somerton's plagiarism of other queer people's work. However I'd like to talk about that 20-30% of Somerton's original writing- and oh boy. It's mostly about complaining about White Straight Women and misgendering well-known trans creators such as Rebecca Sugar and calling Becky Albertalli a straight woman while it's pretty common knowledge that she was forced to out herself as bi because she received so much harassment over "being a cishet woman who appropriates LGBT+ stories".

One thing that irks me especially is how in his Killing Stalking and Gay Shipping videos Somerton brings up how straight women/ teen girl shippers exploit gay men for their personal sexual fantasies. This gets brought up several times in his videos.

Being all up and arms about Somerton being a "White Cis Gay Who Hates Women and Queer People tm" is not that useful because the kind of rhetoric he's using is extremely common in fandom and LGBT+ spaces on Tumblr, TikTok and Twitter. We really don't need to bring Somerton's identity to this since he is in no way an unique example.

It's hypocritical to make this about an individual person when I've seen A TON of posts, tweets and videos where queer people talk about these Sinister Straight Women who are supposedly out there fetishizing and exploiting queer men. It's pretty clear to me that this is just an excuse to shit on women and queer people for having any sexual interests. At worst these comments are spreading misinformation about BL, a form of media that has been excessively studied by both Asian feminists and Asian queer women.

This all sounds really familiar and I think it's good that people are calling it out as what it is: misogyny and transphobia. I'd also point out the potentially racist motives behind being this hypervigilant about Asian media.

People can absolutely be misogynist regardless of gender or orientation. I really don't know why we need to create some kind of made up enemy to get mad at. I actually think it's almost sinister how "anti-fujoshi" people call Slash shippers and fujoshi misogynists or claim that they have internalised misogyny while being dismissive about women's interests and creative pursuits under Japanese obscenity laws, China's censorship, book bans in American schools and various other disadvances that are part of being a queer and/or female creator.

I think we shouldn't be naive about the bad faith actors who want to turn queer people against each other. For example Fujoshi.info mentions anti-gender (TERF, GC etc) movement using this kind of rhetoric as well.

Anyway if you want to read more:

- about the false info around BL fandom fujoshi.info

-There is the scholar Thomas Baudinette who studies gay media in Japan. Here is a podcast with him and the scholar Khursten Santos

-James Welker is a BL scholar as well. Here is a podcast interview about the new international BL article collection he edited.

-I've already talked about this Youtube channel by KrisPNatz and his great Killing Stalking video that actually engages with the themes of the manhwa

- There is also HR Coleman's thesis DO NOT FEED THE FETISHIZERS: BOYS LOVE FANS RESISTANCE AND CHALLENGE OF PERCEIVED REPUTATION where she interviews 36 BL fans and actually breaks down why fetishization has become such a huge talking point in the fandom discourse. Spoilers, it's mostly about young queer people and women being worried that they will get judged and pathologized for their interest in anything sexual.

-Great podcast about Danmei and censorship with Liang Ge

#Also I don't mean that you can always tell if someone is a transphobe or a TERF based on a couple of things they have said. #My point is that sometimes ok people can have very regressive ideas too. #This is not a call out post about how we should go around accusing anti-fujoshi people #todd in the shadows #hbomberguy #sarasade text #even I've got those “Fandom is mostly straight women fetishizing gay men” comments once and it begins to sound kind of passive-aggressive #when you're a bi woman. Lot of fandom stats at AO3 show that fandoms are montly bi women. who are these people calling straight exactly hmm #also straight women are completely ok leave them alone. I know I know Yes I'm so brave for saying this #cw: transphobia

We need to talk about the Watcher "fans".

These are the top comments on Shane’s IG post. Just look at the number of likes.

“Steven Lim is a greedy, manipulative evil CEO that twists his white co-founder's hands and forces the said co-founder into his will!!!” – this narrative is being prevalent in this fandom since April 19. People harassed him all across social media on every platform. People wrote nasty comments not only to his social media accounts but also to his wife and friends.

People made a Change.org hilariously dumb petitions to have him leave the CEO post.

People gleefully demonize and tear down his reputation. Twist his words out of context in to something vile. Weaponize the years old inside jokes his friends made on camera.

“This is not racism!!!” they say. “These are just the facts!!!”

No they aren’t. And here’s why:

because this

is the same as this:

Covert racism in language, or coded racism, is the deployment of common stereotypes or tropes to elucidate a racially charged idea. Rather than expressly perpetuating racist tropes, covert linguistic racism is seen as rational or "common sense", and many are not aware of its impact.

Racial stereotypes. Racial or cultural stereotyping refers to generalizing a group based on a simplified set of norms, behaviors, or characteristics.

The Yellow Peril (also the Yellow Terror, the Yellow Menace and the Yellow Specter) is a racist color metaphor that depicts the peoples of East and Southeast Asia[a] as an existential danger to the Western world.

Fu Manchu is a fictional character created by Arthur Ward, a music hall writer and journalist in London in the early 1900s. Writing under the pseudonym Sax Rohmer, Ward had absolutely no knowledge of Chinese culture or Chinese people – but his invention of a Chinese supervillain struck a chord in Victorian Britain and became a smash hit.

Fu Manchu was the original fictional Asian villain, a trope which became embedded in popular culture and Western psyche spawning spin-offs, spoofs, pop songs, video games and even consumer goods. But how damaging is Fu Manchu and how much can he tell us about modern Asian racism?

Ward wrote Fu Manchu as the personification of the so-called Yellow Peril threat: exotic, alien and inhuman, a mastermind boasting degrees from top universities. Using sinister powers to control minds, he aimed to undermine Western civilisation.

"This led to the idea that the Chinese were deceiving – they weren't being honest, they weren't revealing who they really are as people. This spawned into stories of Chinese as cheats and liars and deceitful – never giving you the truth, always fabricating."

Seven Lim being labeled as “greedy” “evil” and “manipulative” (of his white co-founder) is rooted in Anti-Asian racism. Whether people admit it or not.

Racism is not always derogatory slurs or white hoods. Racism is also casual micro-aggressions and putting people of color in the metaphorical boxes of harmful stereotypes. Racism is twisting the narrative and shaping it into a vile stereotype straight from the 19th century.

Also, let's not forget that people are happy to jump on Ryan in the similar way for the same reasons.

[levyfiles]

some people are mad at steven for a moral issue, tbf. regardless of your thoughts on watcher’s streaming service he did still say he has racist and homophobic friends. he still goes to a homophobic church.

I absolutely recognise that you must have been recently introduced to The Pod Clip that the twitter teens who hate him preserved to break out whenever it's a fresh moment to rally hate against him, but I would advise anyone just receiving this clip from August 2020 being passed around with the angle that Watcher tried to hide this. I and many others were there and just know that I have a zero tolerance standard for people who show no remorse or growth when they uplift racists and bigots.

Mine and other fans who were startled by the statement hoped publicly that it would be an opportunity to clear the air for Watcher because the current political climate was just finally examining anti-blackness in everyone's biases and as someone who is mixed-African growing up in an Asian household, I know that anti blackness is and has been a normalised mindset in the Asian community.

But the thing is, months before this, Steven platformed Tammy and her colleagues to discuss how all of us can work together to stop Asian hate and one of the conversations I highlighte back then was how very clear Tammy was that allyship from the Asian community to the African-American community was tantamount to moving forward. That the us vs them rhetoric has and continues to be harmful for both parties. Ryan and Steven were very involved in this discussion and agreed wholeheartedly.

Having said that, the narrative around the podcast ep never had a chance to be discussed rationally. It really ended up skewed because Steven's response to the backlash from that clip was this

I hope that's legible to you. Many people who felt uneasy about what he said felt a lot better and his intention to say something at the top of the next episode would once again, unfortunately, get derailed because Twitter users (some who are particularly loud about loving and supporting Watcher yet constantly join in on the throng of bullying as soon as the tide turns) were adamant that they needed Watcher to post the clip and Steven's apology publicly on their youtube front page and on the main socials, to literally advertise it when the reality is that not many people were watching/listening to the podcast. For what reason would it be intelligent or good business practice to broadcast this hurtful moment so that more people could get hurt by it?

Watcher's response amid the harassment was to release a full podcast episode where they all discussed what they would do going forward to show that they are allies, not just by not being racist or homophobic but by being anti-these things. They showed that they cared about their impact. It was emotional and devastating to watch and by that time, we knew the pod was likely going to wind down. 2020 was already a miserable time and it was made worse because no matter what Steven or Watcher said at the time, the "stans" on Twitter wanted the man fired, they posted memes saying the world would be better if Steven Lim didn't exist, they wanted him shamed by his staff, and for Ryan and Shane to publicly disavow him. Many of these so-called devoted fans raided the server to yell about how Steven's alleged homophobia hurts them, most of them were white and pointedly talking over people of colour telling them "it's not your apology to accept!". It was a blood bath.

And I see waaaay too many of the same faces utilizing this completely neutral move--that of COURSE could have been executed better--to terrorize Steven, to make petitions to get him fired, commenting on his wedding photo telling him that Tammy should leave him, posting those same damn disgusting memes because you see, a whole bunch of people forgot how disgusting and evil this vendetta was to the point where even watcher's socials started to FOLLOW some of these genuinely mean-spirited individuals. They didn't give a shit about a movement or activism.

What kills me--what absolutely THROWS me--is that these same people expect to be able to return to interacting with the staff, attending live shows, buying merch and sending fan mail as soon as the hate tide winds down. All these people so concerned about a statement referencing faceless hypothetical racists and homophobes that Steven never named nor attributed any context for--as he was never given the chance--are so quick to dehumanize and caricaturize real human beings to their faces and they think this is a normal and acceptable behaviour.

You'll have to excuse me, as an older fan who has seen my fair share of normalised homophobia and racism in these communities, if I disagree.

I'm done with your purity

I'm fucking done with all of you westerners fucks who take your freedom for granted. AO3 was banned in china because pissy fans reporting RPF TO THE GOVERNMENT UNDER FALSE REPORT OF PEDO OR WHATEVER thus making life a living hell for Chinese writers and fans. ALSO LET ME TELL YOU that fanfic and AO3 is a safe space for many oppressed LGBT people outside of the west

I can't fucking say that I'm trans and bi without having people beating the shit out of me, but I can fuckin' write that I'm gay as fuck in fanfic or writing gay shit about my fave with fanfic

Imagine some people defending state wide censorship over fanfic, because they don't like icky fanfic, that's a sign that either you are brainwashed or fucking privileged and taking your freedom for granted. You know why Asian and other non western USA-European are more chill with fanfic and fandom?

Why we are less prone to make some stupid callout over fanworks?

Because most of us doesn't have the same information and expression privilege like the west, we take any freedom that we can have

That's in 2017... There's probably more than one million websites being censored rn. I cannot even buy pride pin here because NO ONE outside of internet selling it! The censorship always begin from "banning information to protect children and moral from nsfw" down to censoring Spongebob Squarepants

You don't like something? Just don't fucking read it, it wouldn't stop the author to write and when they do stop writing usually after they are harassed so bad to the point of mental break down or suicide. What the actual fuck...

Defending and supporting state wide censorship because you want to feel superior on the internet is beyond stupid and it showing your privilege... Also yah fuck you who defend china aggressive state wide censorship because adult x adult RPF icky or whatever, I like reading Tom Hiddleston x Reader, because I'm lonely and it's fun. Don't lie that you never thinking of marrying your favorite celebrities or dreaming about dating Gerard Way.

What the fuck you gonna do about it? Crucify my ass? So long you are not shoving it to the person's face, who give a fuck? It's not a justifiable ground to cheer for government mandated national wide censorship. A lot of westerners are so privileged and terminally online to the point their mind revolve around online discourse 24/7 I'm not saying discourse has no damn merits but you get what I said...

Some people particularly white westerners are so privileged they have the chance to goes back 180° and agreeing with conservative mindset they claim to hate so much... Also your kink critical bullshit and your bullshit crusading over dark stories? Yeah. Heavily influenced by TERF and conservatism. Newsflash...

I'm not a person who agree with all ship or stories, i don't claim any moral high ground. I was so scared of getting cancelled due to the hostile neo puritan fandom culture, but seeing people defending China great firewall and aggressive censorship finally broke something inside of me and I cannot stay quiet

I don't give a fuck about your fanfic discourse, If i don't like something i just wouldn't fucking engage with it and wouldn't read...

I'm done, I'm tired. Fucking tagging this shit as anti vs pro because i need to get the message out there and LET THE CHAOS begin

( When you want to escape your country censorship to the internet but then you see the supposed liberated westerners people wanting censorship because they want to feel moral. Yes there are even westerners who don't want to see anything even remotely 'problematic' example: they will attack Zutara or fuckin' Reylo shipper whatever. See? You are terminally online and so privileged... Congratulations... Here's your fucking medal and gold star)

about the ongoing hunger strike to ensure that the historic anti-casteism bill passes in california ^^ wanna support?

if you’re on mobile, go to: https://tinyurl.com/Signsb403

other devices, like laptops: https://www.gov.ca.gov/contact/

sample email below from the mobile link, not my own writing:

Subject: Please Sign SB403 (Wahab) to End Caste Discrimination

I am writing to request the governor to sign the historic bill SB403 introduced by State Senator Aisha Wahab, which would end discrimination on the basis of caste. This bill aims to clarify existing California state law and make explicit that discrimination based on caste is illegal by adding caste to ancestry and defining caste in the Civil Rights Act, Fair Employment and Housing Act, and Education Code.

Caste systems are social stratification where each position is characterized by hereditary status, endogamy, and social exclusion. Caste discrimination manifests as workplace discrimination, housing discrimination, gender-based violence, and other physical and psychological forms of violence.

Caste discrimination occurs across industries, including technology, construction, restaurants, and domestic work. In these sectors, caste discrimination has included harassment, bias, wage theft, and even trafficking. Caste is today inextricably intertwined with existing legal protections in state and federal civil rights laws such that discrimination based on one’s caste is effectively discrimination based on the intersection of other protected identities. However, because of the grave discrimination caste-oppressed Californians face, these existing protections must be made explicit.

Caste is a workers rights issues, a women's rights issues, and racial justice issue. It is also a bill that has bipartisan support. That is why we are joined by Asian Law Caucus, Stop AAPI Hate, AAPI Equity Alliance, Tech Equity, Equality Labs, Alphabet Workers Union, Ambedkar Association of North America, Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance, AFL-CIO, Californians for Caste Equity, Hindus for Caste Equity, Jakara Movement, South Asian Network, Sikh Coalition, and Sikh American Legal Defense Fund. Every major legal association is in support of caste equity and the lawfulness to make caste equity explicit. This includes the American Bar Association, South Asian Bar Association, National Asian American Pacific Bar Association, and Asian Law Caucus.

That is why we urge you to make history and sign his bill without hesitation. Justice delayed is justice denied. Let's ensure California opportunity for all by ensuring that ancestry and caste discrimination is explicitly prohibited and make history across the country.

Thank You,

[Name]

It is deeply irresponsible of you to promote the neurodiversity movement. The founder of the movement - a certain Japanese “Baedell” trans woman (one of those denyers of transandrophobia) named Kasaine - is a petulant destructive asshole who has torn apart numerous autism conferences, alleged murder and anti-epileptic or anti Asian sentiment or whatever simply for conferences refusing to browbeat a severely autistic nonverbal young man into turning off his flash camera. (Never mind that she could have just you know looked away.) I have spoken to countless Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, American Indians and others who also disagree with Kassaines utter petulance, as well as that of those like Amanda Baggs (a blatant faker/liar who I refuse to call by her “trans name” but you might know her as Mel.) She was also making the patently false claim that she had Rett syndrome. She also is deeply anti-physical disability, believes the abled can be cripples and believes that there is no difference between any disorder that affects the brain. I tried talking to @chavisory about this and she sent me to your blog, let her explain her deep deep misconceptions.

...are you sending this longass weirdly transphobic revisionist history to anyone with a popular enough blog that says they're neurodivergent?

And why are you randomly harassing someone who has never interacted with this blog and has posted multiple times in easily-findable format that they are not sending you to anyone and you're just being a weirdo in people's ask boxes?

[olderthannetfic]

Why’s it that Belly from tsitp and Alina from shadow and bone were race bent to be Asian but the fandom embraced them without complaint while black Annabeth and most other black characters get threats and harassment campaigns?

--

You know why.

But also, if you think no one complained, both for good and bad reasons, you haven't looked.

The level and obnoxiousness of complaints does tend to depend on the actor in question, what they look like, how they're made up, etc. Lola Tung is 3/4 European, 1/4 Chinese. Jessie Mei Li is half English, half Chinese. Dickheads find this less ~challenging~.

That does not mean that no Asian actress is going to get a virulent hate campaign. It happens all the time, both for racebent casting and for other reasons. Remember all the shit Kelly Marie Tran got, both from openly racist white fanboys and from whinyass Finnrey shippers pretending they were doing anti-racist work?

It also depends on the relative size of the source material fandom vs. the adaptation fandom. PJO is exactly the kind of thing where people hit the roof over any change. Are they being racist? Yes, absolutely. Would they be equally stupid but in a less offensive way about some other change? Also yes.

But yeah, looked at in aggregate, people totally are the biggest clowns about black characters. Look at the response to Rue. That wasn't even a change! People were just too dumb to read some line in the book that literally spelled out her skin color. Absolute idiots.

[proshippers-against-censorship]

have you heard about the situation with antis organizing a “hit list” of mostly Asian and gay artists?

basically they made a list on discord of artists they deem as “problematic” and coordinated themselves in a (sometimes successful) effort to mass report, to get the artists suspended from social media and to destroy their means of getting an income

But antis are normal

That's fucked up.

Like, I cannot even put into words how fucked up that is.

That's the kind of thing that needs to be, like, genuinely reported.

Art was my only income for a long time. I'm nearly afraid that I'm on it...though I never topped 5k followers, so I'm probably safe.

Antis are fucked up. It's gone past 'well we disagree with this media' and has become a hate/harassment campaign.

I stand with my fellow artists - and I hope those asswipes get a good dose of karma. Stop destroying real lives for the sake of fictional characters.

[animentality]

saying that asian countries are not sexist, homophobic and transphobic is just wrong. they are, denying and saying that "well not everybody is, and there is change" is missing the point. majority is not.

Like I genuinely wish it was not the truth. But pretending that it fucking isn't is stupid, and prevents progress, so people stop calling Asian countries backwards.

Like no! If you don't live in Asia, and just see from an English speaking perspective you will not see just how bad it is. And it is "hey it is Ramadan, so in the spirit of love and forgiveness let's bring a victim of horrific emotional and physical abuse and HER ABUSER together to try and RECONCILE THEM". on national television.

Sincerely, spoken from an Asian.

it's really funny because anon, I am also Asian.

I'm Chinese/Polynesian.

And that anon being all like oh wow so you think China is homophobic??? you racist.

like bro.

america is homophobic.

is that racist against whites, to say that, like

i swear to God, no one knows what racism is anymore because these children throw it around like a monolithic label.

it's like saying oh you think Latin machismo culture is sexist???

so just say you hate Latinos and Latin culture!!

like bitch, are you joking

my rebellious instinct is to say, if Latino "culture" entirely hinges upon treating women like lesser citizens for being female and celebrates unnecessary aggression and derides emotion as weakness and oh yeah, cuts funding for women's shelters because they report too many violent male crimes against them and makes a specific country look bad (i.e., caring more about their country looking good than protecting women).

then yeah.

fuck that culture.

and call me a racist if you must, but it's not exactly a bad fucking thing that some countries have anti discrimination laws.

like ooh what a toxic culture, look at western hegemony, trying to tell women they have the right to not be sexually harassed at work.

like there's a fucking line between "forcing" other countries to follow your culture, and protecting what should be basic fucking human rights.

but you know, that idea is bullshit anyway.

these people are not arguing with good faith here.

they're riled up today and I really don't feel like engaging that much.

I know the truth, and I'm not gonna spend time playing word games with losers who've never lifted a finger to help anyone.

they're good at attacking, they don't know how to actually help.

ok before i say ANYTHING, radqueers who interact with this post will be blocked on sight. dont touch this post /srs (edit: added some things and rephrased some things)

Coralqueer

(image id: a 9 striped flag, the color order is duck egg blue, periwinkle, cornflower, pastel blue, mabel, light pink, light fushia, candy pink, and duck egg blue. in the middle of the flag there is a image of light purple coral with white stars surrounding it. end id)

Coralqueer is a inclusionist term that has a heavy emphasis on self-expression,creativity, and diversity, while still being safe and being wary of things that are actually harmful.

basically coralqueer is "as long as you arent something thats geniunley harmful, everybody's valid!" also update: i wanted to add that the flag actually has a meaning! the blue shades represent inclusiveness and the ocean, the pink shades represent creativity and sea creatures, while the paler blue stripes on the top, bottom, and middle represent unity and peace!

Coralqueer supports:

-"Controdictory" labels such as mspec gay/lesbian, gaybians, lesboys/turigirls, etc

-Systems of all origins wheather they be traumagenic, DID/OSSD, non-disordered, endogenic, or more

-Disabled and Non-neurotypical folks of all disabilities and disorders (this includes personality disorders and other commonly demonized disorders!)

-The freedom to do what you want with your body, wheather that be having a abortion or body modification or whatever

-All Consentual non-harmful relationships, wheather romantic, sexual, monogamous, polyamorus, queer-platonic, or objectum/objectix

-The freedom to express one's non-harmful interests and hobbies how they please.

-Xenogenders, neogenders, non-dysphoric trans folks, pronoun and gender non-conforming folks and other people who dont fit the binary

-Activist movements such as ACAB, defund the police, BLM, stop asian hate, free iran, women's rights, stand with ukraine, free palestine, etc

-Spirtual freedom and the ability to take your own religious path that you wish. (includes stuff like witchcraft!) -Alterhumanity of all different forms (this includes transspecies folks who do not use it in a radqueer way!) -Recovery and healing for those who have escaped the radqueer community

However, coralqueer DOES NOT support the following:

-Hatred, bigotry, discrimination, exclusionism. or harassing others for their identity or interests.

-Transid (transrace, transabled, transage, that kind of bullshit)

-Pro-contact harmful paraphilias, or the ones who encourage acting on harmful paraphilias (seriously what the hell, fuck off)

-Pro-ship/com-ship/anti-anti

-Gatekeeping, infighting, or starting shit just to start shit

i made this term because it seems like the radqueer community is starting to grow larger, so i made coralqueer to help fight aganist it. radqueers DNI
