I will say it is crazy the hate you and other dddne accounts get. I want you to know how helpful and good your words and information are, even though it may not seem like it at times with the witchhunts. As someone who use to do the same thing (not start witchhunts but definitely engaged with them), I lived two lives, one being someone who was "morally right" and thinks fiction needs to be xyz, and the other reading freak shit late at night while in fear of anyone finding out. I was so okay with being this way because I got to experience a lot of the moral police in 2020. It got to a point where I was having anxiety attacks weekly because of my fear of someone finding out what I read. Then when I got on this side of twitter, I got to see other people like me. I don't think I've ever had more relief off my shoulders in the last year than I have in the last six. Which is crazy given its twitter.
Um yeah anyway you are amazing and love the freak shit
I don't even know how to convey how much I appreciate this. Genuinely. Yeah, it's really fucking difficult to sit through this stuff and come out on the other side without my drive shattered haha. Unfortunately (or fortunately?? lol) I am stubborn and I'm just incapable of staying down for too long. It's really vile and unsettling being accused of real life crimes because of some fake stories. As someone on this end of it, I try to also see the side of the people doing the attacking. And I do. I understand where they're coming from and how it's often a place of misunderstanding, ignorance, or hurt/trauma. I'm empathetic to that, but it's hard to extend too much of it when I have my own feelings and circumstances to worry about. That always comes first.
It hurts my heart that you struggled in silence with this for so long!! It's not fair. Fear and shame are so fucking powerful….and the way that people in these spaces fuel that to such toxic levels is so damaging on many levels. It poisons our community spaces and forces people into silence. It never actually gets rid of the taboo content. It just makes people feel terrible. Anyways, I wish I could give you a big hug. I'm so glad to hear some of that weight has been lifted. And please know that no matter how volatile things can get in this community space there will always be people like you and me who are willing to catch you and support you.
