Future Ruler of the World

The older lady who saw me working the theater district and without a word slipped me a 20, SAVED MY LIFE

The nurse at the ER who refused to buy my bullshit story when I walked in and said I needed STD prophylaxis- she SAVED MY LIFE

The other victims I met while being trafficked, the older girl who told me, "shut the fuck up, don't posture like that," she SAVED MY LIFE

Even the young guy who was in with the traffickers, who got in over his head and snuck us oreos and cheez-its- he SAVED LIVES

The other survivors I've met in the aftermath who have listened and shared their wisdom- they've SAVED LIVES

You know who's never come close to saving my life? The cops. The court system. The Feds. Wider society as a whole, even. I've never been helped or cared for by these systems. I've been helped and cared for by PEOPLE. By regular human people who were all just doing their best.

More than it's ever haunted me that these awful systems and evil people exist, it haunts me that I'll never be able to thank any of those good people who've saved me. It haunts me that they'll never know how much of an impact they've made. The way I repay them is to try to bring that same energy into the world- and maybe do the same for others without even knowing it.

people. PEOPLE. as a tadc fan who is also tadc critical and has been interacting with that side of tumblr a lot as of late, not once have i ever seen anyone say we should report goose or that they reported goose for her actions. a lot of the things we criticized about her were about her show, which is on youtube, and the stuff she's said on other sites like twitter. not once have i seen anyone say they want her deplatformed, either-- only for her to take accountability, with a majority of us recognizing that she likely never will.

we don't know why she was banned, but we do know that staff has a habit of banning women for nothing other than the crime of being transgender and hiding behind the idea that they're inherently sexual content or something. goose, as a trans woman with a large platform and who creates content targeted at adults, was always going to be at risk for an unjust ban.

staff is transphobic. we know that staff is transphobic in general and that they've been gleefully showcasing their transmisogyny in particular.

the answer to this is to speak out about it and make sure staff knows we're angry about their transmisogyny.

the answer is NOT "this is all because a bunch of wokers decided to call her racist!"

And my manager was like no!!!! If that happened, I would drive to find you guys in my truck and we could eat stuff from my wife's garden and I would make sure everyone I know survived!! I would carry you all on my shoulders away from the zombies!!

1) 7 years ago, in 2019, Gooseworx used the common slang prefix for evil twins "nega," shortened from "negative" to refer to an evil version of a character, calling it a "nega-Angel."

2) People who actively hate this woman on levels even I struggle to comprehend concluded that this was her engaging in "antiblack racism" because the extremely common term which is used in children's cartoons to this day "nega-verse" sounds, if you aren't paying attention and you have some audio processing issues, a little like the anti-black slur "n*gger."

3) They proceeded to drum up a huge harassment campaign against her, using a handful of Black bloggers as meat-shields to feel righteous about their actions.

4) Her dipshit fuckhead fans then immediately began engaging in actual anti-Black racism against the above mentioned Black bloggers, and claiming they were doing so in defense of Gooseworx.

5) Gooseworx condemned the dipshit racist chucklefucks from point 4, pointing out that edgy humour used in private with trusted friends to make a mockery of racist shitheads is the exact opposite of engaging in hateful racist attacks on her behalf in fucking public. Though, frankly, calling "nega-verse" an 'edgy racist joke' is already an enourmous stretch, but good on her for cutting the dipshit fans off at the knees.

6) The harassment campaigners from point 3 had already managed to get enough eyes on her to get her spam-banned anyway, as evidenced by her account not having the "deactivated" suffix which appears in voluntary deletions. EDIT: However, a recent update may have caused voluntary deletions to take 30 days to show as 'deactivated' so until a statement is made we cannot be sure.

So that's where we're at.

A bunch of white people using anti-Black racism as a cudgel to beat up a white trans woman at the cost of subjecting the people they are weaponizing to great fucking torment.

In conclusion:
