I have, yes. Based on your only ever comments here being pearl-clutching about an inoffensive silly webcomic of a user expressing the amount of (verifiable) bigotry, bile, and hate they’ve seen and recieved. In response you mostly seem to have decided that the real issue you’re going to spend your time on is repeatedly saying some variation of ‘fascists are bad but you guys were just as rude in my instance’ without ever providing any evidence.
So yes, I doubt your authenticity, your motives, and you’ve given me and others little to no reason not too.
On the off-chance that you really did just trip over yourself throughout this entire thread let me say this - Hexbear is a community of often marginalised groups, with often marginalised politics, who undergo a constant onslaught of bad faith arguements, abuse, and online and offline attacks. Federation here has opened up more traffic in both directions, and while we’re pleased and happy to welcome people here who make an effort to engage in good faith and ask questions, we get a much high proportion of hostile people ranging from concen trolls to outright abusive fascists. If you find the messages you recieve overhwelmingly treating you more like the latter than the former, then maybe you should also look at how your posts come across in that context.
I’d like to point at that at no point have I suggested “just as rude” and on at least a few occasions have specifically said there’s there’s a hefty difference.
Assholes are everywhere and they like to target the marginalized. Believe me I understand. But does being treated like shit mean someone is given license to be crappy to others? Isn’t that what the whole “an eye for an eye makes the world blind” phrase about?
Since I’ve been here I’ve had a variety of words put in my mouth so I could be judged for them. I’ll admit that there’s sure to be things I could’ve communicated better.
The “real issue” is also reading in more than intended. I didn’t expect I needed to say “I agree with all of this except…”. Maybe that’s on me but I’m not in the habit of qualifying everything I say beforehand. I don’t think a big part of the internet is either.
