So, since there seems to be a new flavour of infighting in the air, a little PSA:
If it looks like it was engineered to make you want to infight, that's because it fucking was. It's fucking bait.
If it's an anon claiming to be part of the community, I can guarantee: it's fucking bait.
If you're questioning whether something is bait or a genuinely infighty person, it's fucking bait.
If it makes you want to start a fratricide war inside the community that will make us all more vulnerable (yes, you too, because that's how civil wars work and have always worked historically), it's fucking bait.
.
For the love of everything that is good in this universe, don't fall for the fucking bait.
And even in the extremely fucking rare occasions where it's not bait (99.9% of the time because the person who's being an ass fell for bait themselves before posting whatever it is that they posted), don't bite.
Block.
You can block anons. You can block posts. You can block everything and everyone on this site.
The block button is right there begging to be used. Do it.
.
If we fight, we are more vulnerable.
Infighting is something outsiders cause to make us easier to stomp.
Infighting will literally Never lead to anything good or useful. Never. Not for you, not for the community, not for anyone but our common oppressors. Full fucking stop.
Don't. Start. Infighting.
.
I will not take part in this bullshit and I will avoid reblogging inflammatory shit, like I have been avoiding it before making this post.
I will not contribute to this mindless, self destructive endeavour.
Please use common sense and critical thinking, realise that functionally all infighting is caused by Bait coming from outside the community, and Just Don't.
.
This has been a PSA by: a tired queer who'd rather not have to make any more of these.
