I Am Actually Begging Some People To Just Let Some Spaces Exist Untouched By Real-world Issues And Horrors.

I am actually begging some people to just let some spaces exist untouched by real-world issues and horrors.

Like I've lost count of the amount of times peaceful game or fandom servers have been ruined by people stampeding in with political rants, bitching about world issues, demanding internal activism, demanding vent channels so they can whine about their shitty parents, ect.

Like. Respectfully. Not every single space has to be inclusive of and welcoming of outside topics. The real world sucks. We don't needed to be reminded of that absolutely everywhere.

I've said this *so very many* times but with the news that Hamas executed 6 hostages in cold blood because they were so close to being rescued, I'm here again:

The lauding and fandomisation of terrorists who have displayed an inhuman disregard for life, who have subjected innocent human beings to unimaginable brutality, and the absolute dehumanisation of these human beings by so-called "human rights activists" would be laughable if it wasn't one of the most monstrously evil things I've ever witnessed.

Every single person who has excused, justified, or even praised Hamas, every single person who has happily contributed to the climate of dehumanisation of Israelis, every single person who has spread antisemitic conspiracies online, every single person who has stood at "protests" cheering on terrorists who rape and murder and kidnap - I hope every single one of you carry that shame for the rest of your lives.

Fuck you all sincerely. You are beneath contempt.

Just because you sort the world into a binary of oppressor/victim doesn't mean that's what I'm doing when I say I'm oppressed. Saying I experience transandrophobia =/= saying "so everyone who isn't a transmasc is my oppressor." Believe it or not, things can be more complicated when it comes to gender and systems of power.
