i. really gotta add. that i am not actively stripping anybody of vocabulary here, i& #39;m talking specifically about how this makes it easy for people to go "oh i could NEVER do that, how could you call me an ABUSER" while demonizing people who actually haven& #39;t done shit https://twitter.com/elliottdunstan/status/1275525674271465473">https://twitter.com/elliottdu...
just, getting a few reactions (some of them subtweets) that are not really getting the point
you shouldn& #39;t be reading this re: your abusers who absolutely definitely hurt you in ways that you are sure or mostly sure about

you should be thinking about, what ways have i hurt people that could be labelled this way if somebody was annoyed or determined enough
and /what recourse would you have to fix the misunderstanding/

especially as a marginalized person
"oh they& #39;re lying, don& #39;t trust abusers" is like, fine, if you are DEAD. FUCKING. CERTAIN. that nobody is taking advantage of a situation.

"who cares, let them rot in jail" does not work with decriminalization and like, what if you fucked up?
you don& #39;t have to have immediate answers to this! these are hard conversations! but if you& #39;re going "no this is worthless bc i know my abusers are bad" you& #39;re sortaaaa missing the point

i got called a sexual harasser for existing as a "lesbian" in a female changeroom ffs
yes, your abusers are bad!

calling people pedophiles over fictional content is also bad! stating that somebody is abusive for a misunderstanding is also bad! making out like bpd and npd and aspd and hpd are inherently abusive disorders is also bad!
i have to examine every single callout i see because I genuinely do not trust people not to be trying to ruin somebody - usually trans people - over "they drew a bad thing" and that& #39;s the context that this thread is living in

that isn& #39;t a separate world from the MeToo movement
