Emily Vale, Gendermancer

I recently posted about not wanting to CW certain political posts, and someone gave me a bunch of shit about it. This post I quoted is one of the most relatable, meaningful things I've read in quite a while, and I skipped it the first time I saw it because it was CW'ed and I just didn't feel like reading about age verification. Had it not had a CW, I'd have read it the first time. I only even clicked it because I'm super bored and can't sleep.

I can't overstate how meaningful it is to me. I want to make everyone I meet read it. "Look, fuckers. It's a god damn miracle that anyone queer even makes it. Look at this. We are alone, scratching out our existence despite your weird, vague hatred. Cobbling ourselves together out of bits and pieces of flourish, weird sex stuff, and yarn that we've accumulated over decades. Fuck outta here with your genocidal age-gate."

CW: age verification, queerness

Seriously, fuck the #mastodonHOA

All I see about everyone here howling about "CW CW CW wahhhh" reminds me when busybody neighbors demand you do their bidding.

Nah.

@crankylinuxuser @sillyCoelophysis @thatfrisiangirlish it's more like "nosy disabled people asking for ramps to allow entry to a building. or, asking to not be excluded from the capacity to follow certain accounts without being exposed to distress and thus isolated from swathes of the queer community."

there's an "always expand cw's" option in the settings. you can use fedi without even noticing that they're around.

but i mean go ahead and get heated about doing the bare minimum for disabled people. it certainly isnt unprecedented.

Please. You're trying to say that a "trigger warning" is similar to 508 compliance. And frankly, thats bullshit. And it's HOA level stupidity.

Alt text on images IS 508 compliance. And almost every image ive ever posted IS compliant.

I am not not responsible for your emotions. You should teach yourself skills to learn emotional regulation.

@sillyCoelophysis I absolutely love that summary.

@sillyCoelophysis There are clients that allow you to automatically expand all CWs. Would that work for you?
