so i got a dm thats asking me to repost this ask and blur their username and when i offered to just delete the post entirely they said they think its important information that should stay up so here it is.

screencap of ask:

copypasta of my reply:

with all due respect (and i mean this super fucking sincerely) and with full acknowledgment that taking such serious allegations seriously is important, im extremely tired. and even though tumblr is seriously my last standing bastion of Free Internet, it whittles down my sanity every day that the purity culture (“”“”cancel“”“” culture) on here near constantly talks about literally nothing but pedophilia and doesnt care if that obsession in and of itself is traumatizing. its also the only place that i can trust to actively stay away from apathetically consuming or supporting actual criminals like on*sion and p*wdiep*e but was also the only large social media platform naive enough to actively fall for the mitski pe/do allegations so therein lies my struggle. my threshold struggles to stand on very few spoons and i’ve found that my own critical thinking doesnt let me trust shinigami eyes or most knee jerk accusations on many occasions. i don’t think i agree with tumblr sixteen year olds that a serious jailable criminal offense like pe/do/phi/lia should be conflated with a lot of stuff they deem too ‘problematic’ to condone (like probably off-color anime jokes like above popular youtuber) but since i also have really objectively sensitive thresholds regarding peoples’ attitudes about pop culture and generally behave much like a stereotypical sjw myself, i can’t say shit about it either. and anyway just publicly publishing this ask, i’m already bracing myself for dozens of notes from either side of my own threshold having more of that intolerable micro level discourse on something i barely care about, which is more active discussion and mentions of a traumatic horrible human crime that i don’t consent to constantly having to be exposed to, so. followers, please restrain yourselves from doing that in my notes. so anyway. when it comes down to it i agree that its good practice to always believe the accuser but that’s such black and white thinking in a world where emmett till’s death still rings across the world and i myself have learned over my adulthood that this kind of knee jerk mob mentality thing doesn’t realistically work that way in the real world. i really do appreciate the heads up because obviously i dont want to be supporting a creator that is a heinous criminal on a supremely visible platform, but also, this website makes me read the word ‘pe/do/phi/le’ like fifty times a day and that’s fucking horrible for anyone’s psyche and based on previous experience i actually highly doubt that these allegations are based off of anything more than a small google doc’s worth of iffy receipts and conjecture made by an overly invested teenager and either way the truth ends up going, i’m tired as fuck and this makes for a bad time. i hope this dude isn’t a criminal as much as I hope no one is a criminal even in a world where most people are fuckass jerks and there are obviously very many criminals but also its a youtuber known for making shitty jokes. people can say ‘x shitty joke was shitty’ without accusing someone of one of humanity’s greatest possible criminal offenses. theres a difference between donald glover who makes shitty jokes about asian girls but hasnt assaulted anyone, and louis c k who is an actual sexual harrasser. and anyway this is a lot of words but i like to try and explain my thinking as clearly as possible and i’m not witty enough for brevity, but here’s a tldr: thank you for the heads up, hope it isnt true, please don’t talk about pe/do/phi/lia in the notes or drag me into discourse i dont consent to because this blog is a tool/resource to try and keep me sane, peace
