✦ I am totally fine with random messages, but DON'T expect me to respond instantly, I can be busy + just forget. Reminders are fine, but don't be annoying!!✦ I block liberally to curate my online experience and its not always personal.✦ MY FOCUS SUCKS AND IM EASILY DISTRACTED.✦ I appreciate directness + honesty✦ I tend to be very skeptical✦ I have inattentive ADHD, BPD, AND C-PTSD among anxiety issues.
While im treated for these things, they still impact my socialability the most, so please keep that in mind. I also work + am somewhat of an individualized adult with a full time job, car, etc. Irl stuff comes before online enjoyment so I can be very busy at times.✦ I'm not a media purist, and I believe you can enjoy things critically, but I do not agree with typical proship rhetoric and how shamelessly reckless the whole community is. I have many bad experiences relating to this interpersonally to say the absolute least that reinforces this discomfort.✦ Lastly, you may see me speak out against “popular opinion” multiple times in different threads/etc with any given personal or art account of mine even if it throws me into a line of fire. (I usually commentate and then mute the thread so I can move on. Out of sight out of mind.)
*I'm not someone that likes to be a bystander, even if the situation is seemingly nothing, I like to bring awareness in some form. Especially when others are not speaking up. I find a sense of self worth in it in that I'm at least providing a window for others to consider other important perspectives of any given conflict

Ok so this is my space to stand on my little soapbox and preach a bit

As a general statement I do not hold any intense belief system. I see existence itself as a raw, constant chaotic chain of cause and effect.
My morality hinges mainly upon the idea that we should be supporting and understanding of eachother, taking initiative to prevent harmful things and nurturing our surroundings. This is so basic, but the payoff of everyone else adopting this mindset would be very beneficial to the world we inhibit, and our longevity.

Notable points; (big yap)- Some are "unluckier" than others because of what unfortunate circumstances they're born into, whether it be environmental, cultural, bad parenting, bullying, etc. It doesn't mean they're lesser than. It should be understood that because of all this chaos we will have people who are radically differing from one another.
No matter how extreme in their beliefs or disturbing they may be; they're still human. They can still be helped under the appropriate conditions but theres a lot of nuance to coinsider on this.- That said, dehumanization itself is an issue. Its not even logical. It's easier to reject someone entirely; to mark them off as something you don't like or understand and move on. The truth is that understanding what causes pain in this world will better help us prevent it no matter what it is. That means looking into things that aren't pleasant instead of ignoring it or brushing it off.
- I definitely don't believe in karma BUT I believe in taking charge of change/action if we want to see things improve. At the same time, this does not mean destroying yourself and burning yourself out in the process.- It also goes without saying that your mindset, community, and core values reflect onto your life experience and how you will affect those around you.- If you have seen me act outwardly harsh as well, at the end of the day I only care if mistakes are rectified and people can be driven to be better overall. There are definitely some cases where people will have to recognize the weight of their fault in the form of backlash and there will be times where people are emotionally and justifiably heated. It is not the end of the world and you cannot blame people for having a harsh response either. It's important perpetrators also don't victimize themselves too much either. Accepting responsibility is generally something we are also pretty "bad" at in todays culture.- To reiterate on the above it also very much depends on the person and what they've done. If they truly understand something is wrong, they should also understand why others would be upset by it.
A huge issue I see is people simply containing too much pride to accept they were wrong - focusing more on their outward image and needing to “win” than committing and owning up to a mistake.- Continued irrational harassment however and such can very easily turn a person to find solace in find others who approve of harmful things; oftentimes said communities going out of their way to "recruit" these rejected people under callout posts and such.
I feel that a big reason on why "proship" circles and such exist is because we've absolutely ruined some peoples' ability to have peace online in making them a public enemy.
After being viciously torn apart openly, it's way easier to find comfort in those like them instead of understand a mistake has been made. I think some accountability on "our" end must be considered there.- There are communities and social groups for most everything you can think of that will pick people up and endorse them in the worst things about themselves, no matter how horrid. This is a main reason why you shouldn't just drop and isolate someone on a whim because of a problematic mistake they've made.- Finally, I think people should also learn to differentiate someone who exploits vulnerability vs. someone who hadn't intended to cause harm.
