I saw something on twitter today and it really made me question why it seems alot of people are complacent ignoring, dimishing or outright silencing, abuse, harassment, active harm & all that stuff
It feels like a lot of spaces on the internet need to relearn and remember what consent is .. just because someone posted something online (and tho this is hyperspecific to what i saw, its an example:)
doesn't mean you automatically have their consent to undress them ...
doesn't mean you automatically have their consent to sexualize them, or even sexually harass them.. point blank period
So many times have I seen stuff like harassment .. stalking ..be watered down to internet drama when realistically it's not .. ,, bullying can lead to the suicide of a person .. harassment can lead to the suicide of a person as it has (iirc) on a case of a black cosplayer dying via suicide from the exact thing people just can't seem to stop doing: harassing others for something they dont like ..
It seems many spaces have just collectively forgot that people are people, and people have boundaries, limitations. I will never understand why they will never exercise the tools available to them, to block and not engage in whatever makes them upset in the first place..
And for stuff like this ill never understand why someone should always opt to stay silent about their pain, their suffering...alot of it gives off the victim blaming mentality ive also seen on posts of people un(?)/non(?) Consentually undressing people;
"They posted it so why is it wrong if i undress / sexualize them" —? Alot of these mentalities sound so rapey in nature. Just because someone wore something to feel comfortable in their own skin, doesnt mean its right for you to touch/feel/prey/etc on them. There are situations where sometimes theyre wearing something to comply to weather- like beaches..
Its always coming from people who think with their dicks instead of their brains. Its so sickening :( its so saddening to see this world is just full of people who normalize & diminish abuse, and this is why the focus on protecting real people will never be put front and center.
Sometimes i wish i could go back in time, while things werent the best they were so much better than whatever climate were living in now. Its..its so much harder to do anything.
And while its semi related — sometimes i wish i could to also not do so many of the things that stagnated me in the first place. I have no voice. It hurts and still is the rooted reason for this cptsd. Things have been better but still. Frustrating.
I feel maybe some people would care more about me / what im trying to say instead of immediately dismissing me, and misconstruing everything without doing their fucking research. Ive been trying my hardest myself to get help on my own situations, other situations and the sad reality is it just feels people don't care what i have to say. Quick to hate instead of take it within themselves to try and help.. alot of what people still seem to fail to do now.
To help those in obvious need. To try and get the invisible needs met & helped to be better.
So many things would be better if we just helped one another while times seem to continue to get worse :'l
