Bitter And Passionate

Victims’s “crimes” will be enlarged, and even if they’re small missteps, they will be treated as if only the worst person on the planet would do such a thing

Accusations against the victim will always be a reach, aka, they did ‘this little thing’ but it actually means they’re a racist/murderer/genocide supporter/fascist/have blood on their hands, even when the person’s actions never conformed to those crimes

All and any actions of the victims will be misenterpreted in the worst possible way, anything the person does will be taken as an offense and intentions will be read as hostile and manipulative, regardless of how clear they are

All victim’s actions will be taken out of context; ie, victim said something cruel to someone, but they take out the context of the victim being abused, threatened, tortured, forced into defense mode and finally attacking out of desperation to defend themselves and get free

The victim will commonly get provoked into giving a bad reaction, (anyone gets defensive if they’re accused of the crimes they never did, or simply triggering insults until they snap), and the reaction will become the new ‘proof’ that the victim is in fact, evil and guilty

A lot of pressure will be put on you to react ‘correctly’ to the smear campaign; if you don’t accept to demonize this person at once, you’re getting scrutinized, shamed for your lack of morality, told that you support all these horrid things and that you are just as despicable

You will notice a trend of people ganging together based on their demonization of the victim; they will set a standard where you’re accepted and welcome if only you also will demonize and hate this person, and if you don’t, you’re blocked, cast out, and accused of causing harm

It will feel very easy to accept to demonize this person, and going against it will feel risky, like going against the grain, doubting the word of the many and risking being demonized yourself.

The smear campaign continues all the way until the victim is chased out of the community and denied a voice, even if the victim commits no further crimes, awful things will be said about them, their past ‘misdeeds’ continually brought up, until the victim is commonly believed to be worthless, and becomes completely isolated, scared of society and alone

There will be no limit to what is considered okay to do to the victim of a smear campaign; even if the victim is accused of minor bad behaviour, it will become okay to threaten, insult, shout slurs, trigger, provoke, humiliate, manipulate, and repeat any kind of abusive behaviour to the victim, all because ‘they’re bad so they deserve it’.

People leading the smear campaign will switch between being ‘extremely grossed out and enraged’ to showing absolute joy and satisfaction when they find a new reason to demonize and smear the victim. People truly horrified of someone’s actions do not get a leap of joy when a new disaster happens, they’re not beside themselves to abuse the perpetrator all over again.

It will never, ever be acceptable to show any mercy to the victim. Forgiveness is out of the question, trying to understand them is out of the question. Even reading or listening to what this person is saying will be banned and forbidden, unless it’s for humiliating purposes. They will be shown as absolutely irredeemable, and associating yourself with them as evil and unforgivable. You will be instructed to block or unfollow or report the person based on what you’re told, without any significant proof.

In my book a character that is ostensibly just a human man in drag is not a even hear-me-out. That is just a guy. (Yes, he is a Simpsons character, so he is cartoony and yellow, I get that, but at the end of the day, this is a depiction of a human man, who is quite literally written to be relatable to the average US American.)

But apparently around 30% of voters would not even listen to the reasoning as to why someone would to fuck a chubby guy in drag???

But lets talk about you implying every single nah on every one of these is people saying they aren't interested themselves. I personally have voted nah for a few different reasons, depending on what it is. (This wasn’t one of them, I voted heard here, but my point stands)

Sometimes someone votes nah because they aren’t interested. Sometimes they vote nah because they don’t think the submission is even remotely a hear me out and, therefore, don’t see why they need to hear the reasoning. Sometimes they say nah because they both don’t find the submission attractive and they know the source material, therefore knowing the character’s personality and know that it would do nothing to change their mind. Sometimes they say nah because they just have 0 chances of being convinced that the submission is attractive, no matter how it’s spun. And, while I haven’t ever done it, sometimes people vote negative options in submission based poll blogs simply because they don’t like the source material or creator.

Sending someone hate, rape threats, death threats, suicide bate etc is scummy at best and downright evil at worst no matter who you’re sending it too!

I don’t care if the person “deserves it” or not, I don’t care if the person’s awful or not, I don’t care! If you really don’t like someone unfollow them if you’re hate following, block them, block their name/username/whatever, ignore them and move on! If what they did is really bad (see: illegal) then be sure to share that fact (with a few pieces evidence of the action so that it’s clear it isn’t fake)
