Intersectional feminist, Ashkenazim, artist, writer, "hardcore" gamer, mythology buff. I'm queer as heck, and play tabletop RPGs when I'm lucky. I prefer they/them, but he/she pronouns are fine too. Do us both a favor and don't follow if you're a terf/swerf/truscum/exclusionist. art tag art blog twitter
Nobody’s gonna see this, but sincerely: if you see a post from someone using queer as a self-identifier (“I’m queer,” “my partner and I are both queer”, etc), tagging their post as “q-slur” is an inherently violent act.
By all means, avoid that word and people who ID with it if seeing it causes you distress. But saying someone’s marginalized identity is a slur that needs to be censored is violence, plain and simple.
Imagine your icon getting down on one knee and asking for your hand in marriage. You say yes. They then place the ring on your finger and give you a passionate kiss.
“adults should be mindful of minors online” is a perfectly reasonable statement!
however. “being mindful” means:
adequately tagging/warning for non-child-friendly content to ensure that minors are able to avoid it
not discussing inappropriate topics with minors or in spaces that are supposed to be safe for minors
“being mindful” does NOT actually mean:
never ever creating content rated higher than PG even if it’s all properly tagged and warned for because it’s still possible that a minor might potentially see it
