You Know What's Fun? · 2:48am Mar 21st, 2021
Checking this site for story updates and seeing, out of the blue, previously non-extremist authors calling for political violence on their blogs. Oh wait, that's the opposite of fun. Apparently violent rhetoric is okay if it's lightly veiled in metaphor. I have half a mind to write a metaphorical tale insinuating violence against the people who are doing this to test if it works both ways... but that would require the dishonesty of pretending I promote violence. It so happens that morality is still a thing, and taking the low road isn't justified just because somebody else has done it, despite increasingly frequent claims to the contrary.
This place used to be a shelter in the storm that was the world for me. Now it's become a cesspool of extremists, and it makes me ill. I'm pulling back from interacting on this site because it's getting to be as toxic as Twitter. I plan on staying with MLP fics for a long time, but I fear it will take a fair portion of that time for this particular storm to break.
Edit: And right after I post this, somebody driveby-downvotes all of my stories again. So fun. It's worth noting that that sort of reaction to me literally just saying "promoting violence is wrong" could, in and of itself, be interpreted as a violent threat.
I swear I blocked you. Did I unblock you in some fit of insanity? By the way, you're one of a grand total of two people I've ever blocked on here, so enjoy that prize.
Edit: And adding to the drive-by downvotes? How exactly does that show that I'm the prick? You're the sort of person where I genuinely can't understand how you can bear your own reflection in the mirror.
