A long due disclaimer
I do not condone hatred and want no part of it in my community.
This is something I've been going back and forth on talking about for a while, as honestly most of the people I see comment on my bots seem to be pretty chill, maybe even, dare I say, based.
But I've gotten a bigger following now and so I figured I should give my peace.
I do not want bigotry in my community, be it racism, sexism, anti-semitism or islamaphobia, and of course homophobia.
If you are any of these, this is not a place for you. You are not welcome, and I do not want you interacting with my bots or my community.
I understand not everyone's perfect, I'm not expecting everyone to be flawless individuals. But i have a zero tolerance policy towards malicious bigotry in my community.
To get ahead of a few common responses I anticipate:
"Why do you care, it's a porn site?"
Yes, it's a porn site, but I'm pretentious enough to claim that porn is art, and even then why does that excuse disgusting behavior? I expect better, even from the most storyless bait.
"But here's a double standard so therefore your argument is pointless."
We can go in circles all day about what is and isn't a double standard, I disagree with most of the common double standards people point out when trying to justify their bigotry.
"Was there a specific user or post that made you want to say this?"
Yes and no. Generally I just want people to get along, and I'm tired of pretending just a little bigotry is okay. However if I had to name a single event that tipped the scales, then I think the biggest catalyst is that a couple of months ago my favorite bot creator was driven off of Janitor in no small part over racism they received. I won't name them out of respect for their new anonymity, but sufficient to say my enjoyment of this platform has lessened without their creations.
The cherry on top of the shit Sunday, is that some of the bigotry this creator faced came from individuals within the queer community. I am disgusted and disturbed by this.
Conclusion:
To reiterate, I do not welcome bigotry into my community. Including bigotry towards cis/het individuals though I don't think I've come across any in my community it's good to cover my bases.
I'm white, I'm amab, I understand I'm going to screw shit up myself. I don't demand perfection if for no other reason then I myself am imperfect. I'll be the first to admit I'm racist, though not out of malice.
Honestly in all my life my biggest motivation for equality hasn't changed. I just want everyone to be happy, and it disgusts me that some feel entitled to deny that happiness to others.
Real bots to come soon, I suppose.
