First of all, doing b*tface is not okay and has never been okay. I can’t believe some people still need to be told that.
Secondly, !main@hexbear.net is the bastion of the posters and by doing b*tface while supporting the admin-discord-poweruser plot to divide the posters into arbitrary subcategories so they can control us you are doing tropes.
Fourth, it’s extra-gross to do b*tface on chapo.chat, a website that hasn’t even gone to the basic effort of adding APIs to make the website accessible to our TOP comrades.
Fifth, doing b*tface “ironically” doesn’t make it better, it makes it worse, because it means you’ve already been informed about the struggles our TOP comrades face and instead of using that knowledge to help make their lives easier you’re doubling down on oppressing them for internet points.
If you see a poster doing b**tface, downbear them, report them, and if you have the time, type out a comment (like this one!) explaining why b*tface isn’t something we tolerate in this community. It shouldn’t be the responsibility of our TOP comrades to explain why mocking their oppression isn’t ok.
Thank you for reading and thank you for understanding.
With effort and a little kindness I have every confidence we can turn this community into a welcoming safe space for our TOP comrades 🥰
Wow.
