Anti: I only go after smaller artists because they’re the only ones that will listen!!
Anti: what do you mean smaller artists are upset when I harass them? they’re adults they should learn not to care
translation: I’m a bully, but like any low-level pathetic bully, I only go after the easiest targets! 🙂
it’s like they’ve never actually learned anything about bullying or how it works or what it looks like because they occasionally describe a near dictionary definition of it but call it “activism” and it blows my fucking mind

Hey, you know what’s actually abusive?
Twisting innocent people’s words, lying to your friends about a person’s experiences or viewpoints, and spreading these lies to the wider community in an attempt to completely isolate them.
I see that shit on tumblr so much, and for all the warnings we give about how to spot abuse, I never see anyone talking about how this abuse tactic, such a common abuse tactic, is widely employed by lynch mobs on this very website–or else the only people I see talking about it are people who have already been victimized (like myself).
Shipping a certain pairing isn’t abusive.
Writing “problematic” fiction isn’t abusive.
Liking specific characters isn’t abusive.
Standing up for innocent content creators, many of them minors or newcomers to fandom, isn’t abusive.
TRYING TO RUIN SOMEONE’S ONLINE PRESENCE OVER WHAT AMOUNTS TO LITERALLY NOTHING IS ABUSIVE.
So can we talk about this a little more? Please? Because I’m tired of me and a handful of others having to say this over and over again, shouting into the void, in the hopes that maybe some other blogs will pick up just a bit of the slack.
