I love scam calls that are easily verifiably false. “Your mortgage is about to default.” Cool 👍 I don’t have one of those
tbh "let people enjoy things" is just the uwu leftist online discourse version of right wingers' obsession with freedom of speech. it's not about actual censorship because that is literally just not happening on any level, it's about freedom from any and all consequence or criticism of your public behavior.
it's not about infringement of your actual ability to enjoy something that is Problematic or whatever because you can literally enjoy anything you want in your own head, there is no such thing as a fucking thought crime, it's about your ability to publicly enjoy things that actively perpetuate real world harm onto others and specifically to do so without guilt.
and yes sure this can sometimes veer into direct harassment which i am by no means advocating for, but at least when this is leveled at me personally, it is always about me simply saying things on my own blog because never once have i put it in the tags or engaged directly with other people with whom i disagree. and given the fact that i truly am just in my own corner talking to my friends and minding my own business, getting anonymous messages in my inbox about "why can't you just let people enjoy things" is about people wanting the security to know that they will never even run the risk of coming across the suggestion that someone might think the thing you like is Bad. take away the text posts that challenge my worldview i can't let my fragile brain know there's ANYTHING WRONG!!!
like. no one who is discoursing on the internet or whatever is actually stopping you from enjoying whatever you want, but what happens is other people talking about the reasons they do not like the thing ends up making you feel bad that you do like the thing, and because you don't want to feel bad, you claim that other people are carrying out active censorship of your enjoyment or whatever so instead THEY should self-censor their negative opinions which. like. that's a you problem and also not a solution to the problem. your personal comfort in your enjoyment is not paramount here, it does not take precedence over other people's ability to express their discomfort with the way you are doing so.
literally just go hogwild in your own house or in your private discord server with your friends who are also into the thing if you are that sensitive to public criticism OR literally just stop caring about that public criticism and keep doing whatever you're doing like why do you even care.
"let people enjoy things" WHO is stopping you? me talking on my own blog about why i personally think the thing sucks? i'm not reaching through the computer screen and taking your shitty ship or poor fascist little meow meow or woobified gay slaveowner or whatever away from you. baby you are the one who chose to be here and keep reading what i have to say. honestly, either grow a conscience and a brain cell or grow a spine. at this point i don't care which one.
i love you vaccines i love you research i love you reading the book instead of having chatgpt summarize it i love you critically thinking rather than reacting to a headline i love you investigating the source material i love you science i love you math even though you are personally my enemy (math/yn slowburn) i love you writing even though you try to stab me a lot i love you Experts in Your Field i love you Using The Brain

saw this on bluesky
"be not afraid" is just the way people spoke when the bible was rewritten into english. angels don't have a distinct ancient way of speaking. they just speak the same way the people they're speaking to do. what's the point of being a messenger if you communicate in a completely different dialect than the person you're trying to communicate with?
anyway, my point is that a seraph would appear in their true form in front of me and say "hey bitch, stop freaking out"
