Hey, so! I’m going to be making a new blog and abandoning this one. Please inbox me for the new blog. After everything, I feel like this one is worth leaving behind.
I’ll still be on here for a day or two, and there’s also my queue. I’ll be reblogging this post occasionally, too! For those who don’t follow me to my new blog, thanks for following me and being my frond for as long as you did. Take care. uou
JUST REALISED I WAS LOGGED INTO THE WRONG BLOG LMAO
IF A GAY/ATHEIST/GENDERQUEER FRIEND IS ACTING STRAIGHT/RELIGIOUS/CIS AROUND FAMILY OR FRIENDS DONT FUCKING SAY “wait, I thought you said you were _______” THIS MEANS THEY HAVEN’T COME OUT AND IT MIGHT NOT BE SAFE FOR THEM
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DONT OUT YOUR FRIENDS
PLEASE
THANKS
do people seriously come out as athiest
I don’t really think so. But in an extremely religious family being atheist can be very dangerous… So it’s safer for their family not to know really.
but how would a SNAIL react to the friendzone
The friendzone is a myth perpetrated by misogynists who use it to shame their female friends into sex. I am absolutely disgusted by it.
snails are truly upstanding citizens

in the past few months with the number of people being called out on this site as abusive, ive seen a real fuckin shitty trend occurring and until now i didnt really know how to articulate just why its so terrible, but i think ive finally got the words for it
ive seen soooo many times, whether its from the abuser themself or from people sympathetic to them, this whole “i understand completely if you unfollow me for this” crock of bullshit. im not gonna go into why someone abusive saying that is fucked up, cause i think its fairly obvious, and because my beef lately has been with the friends of these abusers pulling this kinda shit, and completely getting away with it
unless the victim of an abuser has explicitly said “i forgive this person and its ok if you do too”, never fucking assume that thats their stance?? unless that is absolutely 100% the case, staying friends with someone abusive is an act of apologism, and an act of violence towards their victim
in all these apologist posts people always give these long-winded bullshit justifications for why they feel like it’s ok for them to stay friends with someone abusive, and often how they dont support their buddy’s abusive actions, and hold them accountable, or something equally as meaningless. here is the thing: just saying you dont support abuse doesnt actually mean shit, if you reward it with your friendship. staying affiliated with an abuser says to them, “i can violate a person’s basic right to safety and damage them possibly beyond recovery, and still count on receiving emotional support and companionship from the people who know this”. i hope you see what is fucking wrong with this picture
my own personal abuser has left tumblr, but is still active on twitter at the moment, and has a small handful of people who know full well what they did to me who follow them and chat about this and that with them. these people have given the person who raped me a space where theyre “”“safe”“” from having to face any of the backlash from their actions, and who probably listen to their moaning about how ~hard~ it is to live with having abused somebody. for me, who will probably never be safe from remembering in vivid detail the experience of having everything taken away from me by this person, knowing that people are just letting them run away from what they did is a fucking nightmare
saying “you can unfollow me if you want, for sympathizing with an abuser” is so, so arrogant i could puke. it makes everybody else responsible for distancing themselves from you, for behaviour that is incredibly unsafe, when it should be your own responsibility to recognize that your viewpoint is harmful and to work on changing it. it says you dont think there is anything wrong with what you are doing, all while making pretense that you actually care enough about abuse victims to acknowledge that they would be upset, when all you’re doing is trying to cover your own ass for completely unacceptable compassion towards someone dangerous
at this point i’ve given up on directly approaching the people who pull this kinda shit, and the people who agree with it, cause then i get their friends coming after me for trying to “defame” their pal or whatever the fuck when all im doing is calling out apologism where it is. final note: having experienced abuse does not make you immune to being an apologist by any means whatsoever. giving forgiveness or support to an abuser when it isnt your right, against the will of that person’s victim, is apologism
please dont affiliate with people who pull this crap!!!! i literally cant stress it enough
I am a butt scientist. An asstronomer if you will.
