twitter is basically like a website for public stonings but the stones are replies and quote tweets and the people being stoned obviously deserve it because neuroatypical queer people are conveniently disposable and we need not interrogate our cringe and outrage reflexes at all
crossposting this one to fedi feels weird but i won't reword it
‪oh yes dearest recipient of this thinly-veiled aggression i maybe pretend to agree with you now that you actually should be allowed to be vulnerable on this website, but you should have considered this is the public shaming website, and as i already threw a rock, it's your fault‬
‪i must quench my thirst for violence! there is nothing better i could do with my time and energy. there are no consequences to me or to anyone else, or to the commons, for throwing this rock. the target is not a person, so it can't be hurt, and any collateral isn't people either‬
oh, you dared to admit that your initial reflexive response to something queer was not positive? how horrendously homophobic. i, better than you, could never be so vile. to correct this injustice i shall stone a queer person
‪just you watch, someone's gonna nod along to what i'm saying here and then once they figure out what triggered this they'll decide that i actually deserve to be the next victim, because this website blackens your heart‬
‪the algorithm makes it all worse, but it is amoral. the evil lies in your heart‬
@hikari wait until some reply guy tells you that this is not Twitter
(had this happen to me with a crosspost of mine)
