Hello, I am wondering what TERF qualities and onboarding tactics are setup in a cult way and what examples could be.

Hmm, I will admit to not being an expert in cult tactics, but I will say I know one of the main ways that cults make people become entrenched in them is through alienation, which is a massive tactic used by TERFS. I am sure there are more examples, but these are the ones I felt I knew well enough to discuss responsibly.

From things as simple as language, if you look into TERF circles you will find them using words and terms that might be hard to decipher, sometimes using words that most people will understand but using to mean different things.

There is also the obvious reality that TERFs are taught to be scared of people. Trans people and trans allies are painted as violent and unreasonable within TERF circles, which can remove TERFs from necessary and valuable communities that might deradicalize them. Very much following the idea that all the outside world is evil which is a massive tactic within cults.

One sort of odd tactic is just how hard TERFs can be to have a conversation with. There has been discussion about how people deeply entrenched in fundamentalist religions will be sent out into the world with poor socialization skills for the very reason of having people reacting poorly to them. It is a way to drive them further into the religious order, and it can be very easily seen in TERF circles. Often being confrontational to transgender people living their lives, and trying to debate anyone who happens to exist around them. It is a system set up to upset anyone they interact with, forcing them into a corner where other TERFs provide them with their only positive social interactions. Eventually, the people who make up their community will affirm their already-held beliefs which obviously feeds the process more.

In short, they are given language no one understands, taught the world hates them, then encouraged to be cruel. It is the perfect recipe to isolate a person. It is really quite sad. Deradicalization is a hard process and a brave path for those who choose to take it.

tumblr staff have...

allowed false flags of 100% sfw posts made by transfem users (and blacklisted trans-adjacent tags)

taken away basic accessibility features in an effort to tiktok-ify tumblr

pushed tumblr live, a feature users actively dislike which is mostly unused and overrun by spambots, that also collects all of your data

allowed ads that can literally kill people via flashing / strobing lights, even if the person had it filtered, despite user complaints, with the ceo even saying people with epilepsy should "just buy ad free" in response to concern over potential death or serious injury from such ads

STOP GIVING THEM MONEY! stop trying to make crab day or whatever else happen. paying for stuff from the shop is rewarding them for ignoring the userbase continuously and doing things the majority don't want, even if the things they're doing and allowing can cause actual deaths. staff shouldn't be praised and get profit for ignoring their users in exchange for trying to turn tumblr into twitter 2 ft. tiktok. at this point i don't even care for "staff are people 🥺 be nice" arguments, because even when people are being very polite in feedback, they're perfectly fine ignoring it in exchange for implementing changes nobody wants or asked for, all because new users may like it more (and forget anyone who's used the site for years, apparently).

leave bad reviews. don't buy things from the shop. send feedback, even if they never reply. email them and @ the staff, send asks to the wip blog. don't just blindly buy into "we need to support the site, buy xyz shop product", they don't deserve more money for giving a worse product.
