Notes:

Sorry, early today!

Also: I'm not going to officially warn for tongue-in-cheek "triggers" just to provide anyone with a fandom-specific in-joke when there are none in the secret.

Re: Teaching Men Not to Rape (tw)

...I'm not judging the whole thing though? I'm saying I'm personally leery of confrontation because I've seen one too many blow ups. I do get the nuances, but there's an instinct in me that goes 'arguing, do not involve in' when things like that pop up and I don't quite want to kill it, because I have seen me in internet arguments over other things. It is Not Pretty. I have rage issues.

And I can understand why people would be leery of it especially because of stuff like that, y'know? They do not want to get involved, because there are not enough reasonable people involved to make the reasonable people who talk heard.

It is awful. That stuff does need to stop. I am not remotely arguing that. I am just saying, it is not easy to speak up, and I guess maybe I'm kinda feeling it's a combination of fear of repercussions from saying anything and the thought that no one's actually listening. (Combined with the fact that when I do tell off people I know online, usually on IRC, they either ignore me or argue with me and not change their minds. I had an hour long argument once wherein two people kept insisting being gay was a choice no matter what I said. Talking about social justice stuff with people I know online does not end well for me. I am bad at people.)

There is also the fact that I think it will do a lot more good if those sorts of flyers get handed around in the real world, if presentations are given and real world people listen. Because people don't really...listen, in any of the places those pictures are. The people reblogging them and giving them likes and sharing them on Facebook already agree. The people watching them already agree or tune it out as white noise.
