I want to help them with their research, so chapos of the "post hog" and pigpoopballs poster variety, what are your thoughts on counter trolling the fash and the terf? What techniques do you use to identify the foe when they try insidious entry into a community (e.g. how norse mythos got stolen by nazis but witch aesthetic is repelling them)? What level of engagement do you use? Do you know of any other academic writing on the topic?
idk like i dont feel the need to defend myself here, if transphobic shit happens yall lambast it and fuck with the person who did it. thats entertainment to me, not a violation of a safe space or something. though it is an issue if theres no downvotes on it at minimum. comments just make it better
yeah chapo boards have really been about entertainment value than anything else. that's why we have memes like "post hog". But I'm just telling you all how it is. Say you're post traumatic and you wander on the site when a bigot pops up to argue. You're not in a frame of mind to appreciate the irony of asking the bigot for pictures of his penis. That's one way clear way the site isn't an entirely safe space.
I'm not saying it's wrong to like the site how it is because it is also cathartic to rage at them, but if we were interested in maximum inclusivity, there would be zero engagement with bigots. Not even on hypothetical to-the-bigots-who-might-be-reading-this level.
oh ive got a ton of trauma but i mean i guess people process it differently
ideally you could just filter certain phrases out
