#trying not to feed trolls

[personal-blog243]

Friendly reminder to not make assumptions about people on the internet you don’t know.

I try to have some degree of privacy on this account so that I can feel more safe sharing my opinions, not personal information about myself.

I say all of this because I have had people make assumptions about me based on my thoughts on “rich men north of Richmond”. I am articulating this in a separate post to avoid feeding trolls.

I had someone call me an “urbanite”. I never pretended to be the epitome of the rural poor. I don’t want to give personal details but my background is mostly middle class suburban. People know that cities can have poor people too right?

I had people make assumptions about my weight and call me fat for calling out fat shaming. You are not entitled to know my weight or what I look like.

I’ve had people assume that I want poor people to be disproportionately taxed?? I don’t know a single person who is in favor of that.

I know people make fun of my profile picture. I chose that picture when I was 18 and just don’t care to change it because I’m not very creative.

I know I’m probably just taking trolls to seriously but I just felt like getting this off my chest.

I never even said I hated the song there are some lines that I agree with btw.

my companions and I were talking about a Tobecky tiktok AU and i was struck with inspiration

[ID: A drawing of Becky Botsford, a dark skinned young person with dark curly hair, a magenta headband, and a white collared shirt layered under a dark green sweater, as if it's a screenshot from a tiktok. She's holding up a hand-written card with the words "TOUCH GRASS" in allcaps on it, and she looks annoyed. Overlayed on the top left corner of the screen is a comment from someone with the username "the_real_scoop" and it reads "he is literally in love with you" in allcaps. /END ID]

Today I did a lot of doodles so I’m going to post them now because I haven’t been posting a lot!!

First, the crossover no one asked for

Second, Taranza picking a fight and being angry because part of my soul needs more bastard Taranza content DESPERATELY. Like guys… feed my soul.

Third, Susie Haltmann but a Gijinka based more or less on my own outfit today (I cannot write T’s very well I apologize if it looks like an R)

And last but not least a drawing of Susie Haltmann I started months ago and finally finished today

#I can talk so much about these #I hope you all like them #the Taranza drawing specifically though was named on my ipad: #why you trolling like a bitch ain’t you tired? #because I was listening to not like us by Kendrick Lamar #I thought that was a little silly #also that susie Haltmann design I made today was made while listening to creative control by SMG4 #you know you’re mentally ill when the line up is those two back to back #🌟 homestar art post 🌟 #kirby #🌟 homestar talker 🌟 #homestar runner #h*r #hsr #homestarrunner #kirby series #sorry for the mainly Kirby stuff Homestar fans #but your boy is there so I thought I’d feed the crowd officially #I promise to draw more Homestar soon #I just have to like… get drawing ideas which I only currently am having kirby ideas #new crossover au where Strong Bad teams up with Kracko the cloud to try and beat up Kirby #anyways #magolor #kirby art #kirby fanart #susie haltmann #taranza #dark meta knight

It’s amazing how this style clashes so much with these “quirky” expressions

That they all just feel dead-eyed and uncanny. This movie deserved better, and instead we get this halfassed excuse of a “style blend of 2D and 3D” that they want to call a love letter to hand drawn animation, and yet it has none of the charm or likability. And since the characters aren’t cartoon-y enough, the cartoony expressions feel out of place.

I won’t even get into the songs, which sound like they were written by someone with very little songwriting experience trying to imitate the success of Encanto’s music, but not understanding how it worked. No, that’s an issue for another time.

#Disney’s wish #Disney #Wish #Wish 2023 #I’m gonna enjoy posting this without doing much more editing to it and watching it cause drama if it escapes containment #sarcastic btw #try to be mature and have a mature discussion #aka if you immediately reply or get nasty instead of having an actual conversation I will block you #I don’t feed trolls

[du-hjarta-skulblaka]

Torn between excitedly wanting to post the first anon hate I've got in years so I can laugh and wave it around like a badge of honour and. Yknow. Not

#anyway noce try anon but if youre gonna be transphobic at least put some fuck9n effort into it lmao #my mother hit out better than that and she had about a decade of facebook brainrot #anyway im never gonna post stuff like that bc obviously dont feed the trolls but. its *very* funny though lmao

[wixhing0nastar]

I’ve been going through my drafts to get all my saved posts queued up and I just found this that I’m like 99% sure was about Bumblely and Team RWBY but I don’t remember the context at all...

#RWBY #Bumbleby #I assume I saw someone trying to invalidate the Bees because of Weiss calling them family in V7... #And was being annoyed about it in my drafts #Which is what I normally do to avoid feeding the trolls #But I left no further context for future me lol

Block @/cynicalaceofspades and their main blog @/jadedaceofspades for using the g slur literally right after I told them it was racist for non-roma to use it, dont interact just block and move on.

Is racist anyways I guess

#literally was trying to explain why it was racist and they said i dont care for abuse victims (????) #then they called me critically online for... caring about racism? and blocked me #lol #my bad shouldnt feed the trolls #most people ive reached out to about using it have been understanding #and then theres 36 year old white randoms

The thing that worries me abt hs 2 is that all these people are FRIENDS with the actually insane people.

Kate Mitchell once accused me of Ban Evasion on twitter after I rejoined a discord I was kicked from without beint talked to about why I was kicked. I was 16 and she was 28. Get some conflict resolution skills girl

genuinely i dont think there is anything wrong with a person being friends with someone who, in private, is a fucking weirdo, a jerk, whatever. not everything needs to be under scrutiny by random internet users. that can be their problem to deal with.

that being said, kate was far from private about being a really meanspirited person (keyword: was). on multiple occasions they tried dodging criticisms of the teams writing by... deflecting and saying there were more important societal issues to be worried about. what the fuck kind of response is that.

im sorry you had to put up with being publicly ridiculed like that. that's absurd.

#homestuck #homestuck2 #apex barks #ask #i will say i dont want people assuming there werent just actually dickish fans #because there were. there were definitely people just trying to instigate fights #but i feel like if you want to be the public face of a project you need to be able to handle those kinds of people. by ignoring them. #why are you feeding the trolls this is internet rule number one

[sexshopshenanigans]

Stop feeding the fucking trolls.

Stop feeding the fucking trolls.

STOP FEEDING THE FUCKING TROLLS.

You are never going to gotcha them.

You will never shame them into stopping or changing or apologizing or going away.

Your hilarious witty clever jabs are never going to land.

Your strong declarations of pride and love and confidence are never going to intimidate them.

Your well-researched, well-written, well-intentioned debunking of reactionary nonsense lies are never going to educate them.

This post brought to you by the society of I have seen this exact same bullshit troll post cross my dash five times in the last ten minutes and I am fucking sick of constant exposure to dumb troll bullshit just because people think “hitting back” is more important than not giving these idiots a platform in the first place. The troll does not care and the troll does not believe you. Stop giving them more thought and energy than they give you. Stop feeding the fucking trolls.

#come on people these are the original Ancient Texts #the earliest rules of the Internet #etched in stone circuitry and Happy Bunny edits #don’t feed the trolls #stop feeding the trolls #let them rot under the bridge #stop telling them they’re just mad because you’re out there living your best life #just go out and actually live your best life #which I guarantee does not involve you spending half an hour trying to figure out the perfect way to respond to a fucking troll #STOP. FEEDING. THE. TROLLS.

agony i've been trying to sleep for an hour but i fucked up my sleep schedule over break so now i just have to lie here like "hmmmmm..... what if....... the harry potter obliviate wizards........ were bad at their jobs.......... and there was a secret colony of young magical & nonmagical children........ who remember magic... and know the wizards don't want them to...... and are in hiding..........."

#i'm thinking this is ~fantastic beasts era new york bc it feels easier to justify like 15-30 kids living on their own w/o like. jobs. #or getting caught. #they refer to losing their memories as 'getting erased' #bc at a certain point of magic exposure. yea. a lot of important or key memories might just go Poof. and take your personality with it. #some of them have seen it happen and those are the horror stories that spread in whispers #they know what happens if any of them get caught. #most of them have seen the horrors of magic (obscurial incident anyone?) and some of them have seen the beauties (fixing new york) #(+ newt was a LIL flippant w magic while he was there and yknow i'm willing to bet there were some other instances a small concealed child- #-could witness; also the magical creature pastries in the bakery. the kids aren't stupid they know he got Erased) #featuring a small magical child ~5-6 named andy he doesn't want to be a wizard bc he'll have to leave the group or they'll be found #also he's scared of wizards (but not magic) #+ the group leader giselle ~11-14; nonmagical angry and scared she knew about magic the longest has seen the most and knows the streets #she can identify wizards and does her best to work w the other older children to switch locations when the wizards sniff too close #also a poltergeist type ghost? can't research the Troll's lore bc it's 4:30 am and i'm trying to sleep #but like. a ghost that can physically manipulate the environment and can't be seen by nonmagical people as such #feeds off magical energy but decided to stick with this ragtag mix of magic and no magic bc it's funny and he's also kinda attached to them #they love their poltergeist buddy even tho the nonmagical kids can't see him just what objects he interacts with #at some point newt scamander loses his niffler and it finds its way to these children who name it richard and take it stealing with them #they love richard he's large and cute and when set loose in a jewelry store he cleans it out in under a minute #when newt tracks his niffler back to their hideout they emergency evac + knock him out lmfao #i kinda imagine newt being sympathetic? like there was that thing w the little girl he couldn't save #and now these kids right and probably eventually he's told the story via giselle trying to threaten him into staying tf away #and he'd obv be extremely worried for these kids n the possibility of an obscurial? #also he has some strong Nonthreatening vibes and i feel like he's not a government snitch even if the films iirc are tryin to make him a cop #newt scamander is not a cop idc fuck canon and fuck jkr #idk it's 4:38 am and i'm just trying to scribble down the thoughts before they leave #and hopefully FALL. ASLEEP. MY ALARM GOES OFF IN 4 HOURS AND 22 MINUTES. #REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE #not kpop #shut up vic

Pride isn’t unsafe for aros, it jsut isn’t for aros, the same way it isn’t unsafe for cishets in general but isn’t FOR them.

Aro pride is great. Just irrelevant to pride.

And the anons have already started.

And you know what anon and everyone else who thinks that way? Go fuck yourself with a cactus.

YOU are the ones who are making anyone who isn't flamboyantly gay feel uncomfortable at an event that is about US.

And you're probably attacking the flamboyant queers too.

Go take a fucking look at what the fascist right are doing in the United States. They're taking away trans rights. They're taking away women's rights. They're taking away voting rights. And they're gonna take away gay rights too.

Look at Don't Say Gay. Look at all the teachers who got fired for being gay. Look at the uptick in queers being called "groomers" for daring to be openly queer.

We are being attacked. The fascists want us DEAD. And guess what? That includes those on both aromantic and asexual spectrum for daring to have different ideas on what love and relationships are. That includes bisexuals. That includes pansexuals. That includes nonbinaries of all types, whether they transition or not.

So guess what? Pride is for all of us. And any cisallohets who want to stand with us are WELCOME to support us queers at pride. Y'know why?

Solidarity.

We cannot beat the fascists while standing alone, or in little groups.

We have to stand together. Now more than ever.

And allies who help FIGHT the groomer rhetoric and everything else the right is doing are welcome.

Who knows? Maybe that "cisallohet" ally is actually in the closet. Maybe they're just curious about pride. Maybe they'll learn something about themselves via being around queers. Tbh, as long as they're being an ally aka not being an asshole, they're just fine.

The thing is.

You want to be exclusionary?

You want to divide us?

You want to reduce the number of people willing to stand strong?

Then you're just helping the fascists, and tbh I actually don't need to tell you to get fucked. The fascists will fuck you right over.

#cw: arophobia #cw: asshole anon #cw: homophobia #cw: pride discourse #gay wrath month #am i feeding the trolls? maybe #but i want to be super clear on what this division does #it only weakens us #at a time we need to stand strong #yes the american right are fascists #some of them even call themselves that #so yeah i'm pissed #and i'm pissed at the people trying to divide us

Thinking about that time back at the beginning of the pandemic when some troll on Twitter, who couldn't make a legitimately valid argument, resorted to just harassing me by making fun of my twitter handle.

I was like "look buddy, I can't help it if you don't get the reference 🤷" and acted like it was obvious.

He was so bothered that there might be some pop culture reference he could look dumb for not getting, I never heard from him again.

My twitter handle doesn't reference anything

#troll down #don't feed the trolls #surprisingly effective against the dunning-krugers #it shut up every troll on that thread too #they were probably all trying to google it #mwahahaha

Sigh. Love it when people on the internet feel entitled to your existence

#i curate my facebook to be people i know. if i cant recognize your name you get unfriended #this one person. for like. six months. has been making new accounts to try to talk to me #and its like. look. if i do actually know you. then you can figure out a different way to tell me ''hey its me'' #but making new accounts to get around a block and then messaging me angrily about it? lmfao #you honestly think i wont ban the sixth one without saying a damned word? no im not feeding the troll #i had the thought that most social medias will drop the ip banhammer for repeated block evasions #..... except i cant figure out how to access my blocked users list on mobile. #because why tf would you want functionality in your app #so guess itll have to wait till im back at my pc #because im not gonna feed the troll. obviously. but if youre gonna do it this consistently i will escalate. #its a white girl from [redacted] i think evading an ip ban will be beyond her skillset. so ill just take your damn toy away from you #or ill figure out how to ban her ip address personally. either or. #gotta have facebook unfortunately necause the work groupchat is there otherwise id delete it wholesale #evade the block then dumbass. but alas #i really should sleep but now im too anxious rage. guess its back to sudokus

[coatabyss]

is it just me or is instagram becoming as bad as twitter

#im slowly detaching myself from it #it feels the same as twt for me bc now almost every other post (not counting ones abt gaza) is just rlly negative #like i follow a majority art accounts now but its just them trying to clap back at obvious troll comments and thats ALL IT EVER IS #im not too surprised bc i know a ton of people left twitter and probably main insta now #and also a lot of them use tiktok just as equally so they all got tiktok brain but like #ugh it sucks #literally all my other friends are there so im not going to totally leave #and before anyone gets defensive i know tumblr isnt better but i can at least curate my feed here

[areyoudoingthis]

today is not a fun day to be in this fandom

#usually I'd block people but I'd have to block everyone I'm following #what happened to don't feed the trolls #why is everyone trying to argue with the crazies like it's gonna do anything #they're not gonna change their minds no matter how many well reasoned arguments anyone makes #what's the point #anyway s2 in 2 weeks!!!
