#rolling my eyes #what makes people post things like: #“oughh I'm upset that I got kicked out of a literature anthology project because people brought forward screenshots of me being aphobic” #as if they are not squarely at fault for being a bigot. #who is going to sympathize with you there? really. who is your target audience????? other bigots????? #sometimes you face consequences for saying bad things. #and no that is not a straw man I'm sharing near-verbatim what someone else posted. #there is not a leg to stand on here #like even if you ignore their aphobia (which ftr has been overtly going on for years since the heyday of ace exclusion) #they're like “and they had an issue with me being a misandrist” #as if posting your radfeminism-with-the-pricetag-ripped-off crap isn't also an issue #like no it's actually also bad to post things that are unscientific/ reinforce bio&gender essentialism/demean all trans ppl at once #way to make trans men feel like shit for transitioning/make trans women feel like they'll never be able to transition enough/ #inevitably misgender non-binary ppl/prevent any productive or scientific discussion on the role of cis men in systemic patriarchy/ #spread the false narrative that (mostly cis) women are an inherently good class of people who are inapable of causing (gendered) harm #and to complete the trifecta “they couldn't take my belligerence” - yeah you are a genuinely unpleasant person and you like harassing ppl #and you wonder why ppl don't want your work in their anthology #you are unpleasant to work with and unsafe to be around and you're upset you got called on it
