Girl... Took my ass to the thread and they're complaining about you «inciting harassment». Their imageboard is dedicated to that. Rules for thee, but not for me!
@yourdevilfriends i said on the post i don't condone harassment, not even of terfs. i'm sorry if that happens and cut it out to anyone who wants to do that, but i'm not sorry for... copying and pasting what was literally in the thread
@yourdevilfriends ty for the heads up. i wasn't aware of that and i probably won't be on there any time soon. the last time was a year ago so my track record isn't very good
@yourdevilfriends oh is that a quote? i guess "quirky" is subjective, but i am fat and i am a millennial so i'll give them the facts on that. i agree using fat as an insult (i'm assuming was the purpose) isn't very feminist though
"Their imageboard is dedicated to that" in fairness they do have rules about that, the point is observation and snarking in the thread amongst themselves, not directly engaging with folks featured. which... was technically already broken bc i have gotten a message on my cbox about it lol. if it wasn't a farmer and just a nc user unfortunately (ironically?) they created a guilty by association scenario
Gosh yeah this webring, I really do wish they had clarified as I was on there for a really long time and had no clue until someone emailed me. I've got really no issue with them having their own webring as I am a firm believer in free speech. But I did feel kind of tricked when I found out
But I do also understand why they would hesitate to clarify as they'd likely face massive online harassment (which is a really ass backwards thing to do if you want to convince people to support trans rights. we should be being kind to these people, but i could write a whole article on that) I don't have an answer as to what a better move would be.
@allyratworld you're not the only one. i'm not in favor of harassment, but i don't personally buy into "avoiding harassment" because the intent was still stated publicly already, just not on the ring itself, so there wasn't any actual protection going on
like if this was a private discord server or group somewhere, i could see how that would actually be keeping it on the dl to prevent harassment. but this was... not. so now other people like yourself were involved in something they would have rather not been
it reads like how 4chan would pull trolling stunts but then everyone was aware of it because it was discussed openly in public. this is like having a phone conversation on speaker on a crowded train then getting pissed at a passenger for recording you saying what the password to the clubhouse is
I saw this webring a little while ago and immediately saw "adult women" and was like. yeah i just know these ppl are TERFs lmao. Sucks to have it confirmed though
@punkwasp there have been several people to tell me they could tell without seeing the thread posts. the dogwhistling is oof. an anon on dw told me the mod commented in the thread and like... didn't deny any of it lol
wait oh no is womenoftheweb webring a terf thing. i had no idea, i just thought it was a cute lil thing. am i understanding correctly or am i just tired?
wow that didn't even last 5 minutes lol

@strawberry-gashes Real feminism is when I call a woman who disagrees with me a «fat quirky millennial munchie», I guess

*in the context of that often being an insult used specifically to demean women in a society so heavily focused on unrealistic beauty standards

Yeah, it's a quote. I'm surprised they're this upset, this is pretty gentle criticism compared to whatever goes on there.
@yourdevilfriends shrug lol
@anewchanceanewday huh...? i think you may have misunderstood, yourdevilfriends was quoting others
0-o uh im embarrassed now
@anewchanceanewday i think yourdevilfriends will forgive you. you were a little confused but you got the spirit as the fresh prince meme says lol
@anewchanceanewday No worries, we all get confused from time to time!
