MSG:

Hi! My name is [name], I'm a Toronto resident and library user.

I'm calling to express my disappointment that the TPL is allowing the group Radical Feminists Unite to rent space to host Meghan Murphy, who explicitly promotes discrimination against people based on gender identity and expression. […]

personally i think the worst part about fedi is how because most of us have heard of eachother, everything is so deeply personal
we dont really have parasocial relationships, because we all talk regularly, everyone is probably a friend of a friend.
and whats hard about that is when someone bullies someone else
because like, theyre your friend. and youre afraid of losing them if you speak out against them, and especially your Whole Fucking Friendgroup, since they will likely side with your friend. not to mention how, when someone close to you fucks up, most people dont even question if that person did so in proper judgement, because "theyre a good person, they couldnt possibly hurt someone for no reason"
and you know, when you do that, when youre willfully ignorant or even just silently complacent, you create a power dynamic. a power dynamic that says "if my friend fucks up, the victim gets no support." and this is EXTREMELY common on fedi.
as a victim of one of the most infamous bullies on mastodon, ive seen it right front and center. people would AGREE with me that they were a shitbag, but you know, its not a big deal and it was just a joke and you should just get over it we're all friends here dont be so sensitive etc etc etc etc

and im NOT telling you, you know, break off all your friendships with everyone whos ever been shitty. im just saying, dont defend your friends shitty behavior. not criticizing them, and giving them a social cushion, will just 1. give them an excuse not to learn and 2. give them the opportunity to hurt other people and 3. gives them the knowledge they can do whatever the fuck they want with little to no backlash from those close to them

with this dynamic, those friends you claim to care about are going to just get worse and worse, and nothing is ever going to get better. if you care about people, you dont just let them get away with being fucking terrible, god awful people. doing that is what allowed these people to become as toxic and terrible as they were with extremely little consequence.

and please, let me tell you, if you feel like calling your friends out on their shit will cause everyone to come down on you, YOU ARE IN A TOXIC DYNAMIC and you deserve to not have to worry about getting booted. i know its scary, and ive had to do that several times over. but you will be better off for it, with friends who genuinely care about you and your wellbeing

We're in the thick of ~spooky season~ so it's time for me to play a ~spooky game~

general gist: it's a primarily survival server, no killing other players, no damaging other player's stuff, but do feel free to explore existing structures people have built!

So, I'm finally launching it. It's my "move back to Canada" fund. Help a cat out? https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-adrian-get-back-to-canada #TransCrowdfund
