The Selfship Experience

Hey sorry for asking this but you don't have to answer

What's radqueer supposed to mean?

Google wasn't particularly helpful

-syder

radqueers are hard to describe, so lets start with "a subsect of the MOGAI community". "radical queers" on paper does seem like a good idea. theyre pro-queer, pro-para, pro-endo, pro-good faith identities, and so far, all that sounds great, and you and i probably are also both pro these things.

until you get to the part where many radqueers fully believe children and animals can consent ("pro-contact radqueers"), as well as support harmful transitioning (i.e. RCTA/transrace/trace where people want to transition to a different race from their bodies) and just awful transid stuff in general (stuff like transautism where someone allistic wants to transition to having autism)

they also have a HUGE problem with ignoring dnis. radqueers WILL interact with anti radqueers as if its their god given fucking duty. so as a reminder to any radqueers who read this and think its a bright idea to send me an ask

anyways cheers i love answering asks idm at all

Running back into the room with "AND ANOTHER THING"

In regards to the "not anti, not proship, but a third thing":

Many neutrals will openly interact with antis who are aggressive against pro-shippers, all in the name of "well, I don't care about the discourse, so I don't care that they're antis"

I need you to understand that the flaw with this is that it frames the anti mindset as an acceptable viewpoint to have. It isn't.

Imagine if I said "I don't care about the arguments between librarians and Moms For Liberty, and I think they just need to calm down. I support neither! Just stop fighting!" and then exchanged friendly emails with M4L members. This would be utterly ridiculous, wouldn't it? It would mean that I find their beliefs to be valid opinions to hold, and not dangerous rhetoric that, taken to its logical conclusion, would result in mass censorship.

This is even worse in the case of people who "used to be" pro-ship/pro-fiction, presumably knowing how bad this can get and how it affects people IN REAL LIFE, who still chose to go "neutral" and start interacting with antis. You know what they do, you know how they doxx and stalk and threaten people, and you know how they've caused a lot of mentally vulnerable people to take their own lives, and you're going to give them ANY kind of voice in fandom?

To be "neutral" tells me you don't give a single shit about the people who are being targeted over stupid fandom bullshit that was practically never an issue pre-2015. And the few times that it was... well, that's actually why AO3 exists now.

You want the discourse to stop? The only way that's going to happen at this point is if you snuff out as much interaction with fancops as possible. Avoid interacting with them directly as much as possible, do not reblog their posts or their art no matter how innocuous it is, do not allow them into your fandom spaces. Exclude them from fandom entirely, methodically ostracize them. Block, block, block, and block some more. Doing this will mean we only have to deal with the most extreme of cases that involve mass-brigading and block evading.

That's still a tall order of course, but I can guarantee you fandom spaces will improve in quality if you refuse to make a space for fancops at the table.

Sorry. I'm tired of pretending "neutrals" are anything other than Fancop-Lite.

Please more goldenspice please god I need it ur art is so good *12 billion backflips to convince you*
