I am going to end the night after reading up on what happened to Leslie Jones. I mean, its good that this fuckboy was banned and all but there wasn't even much backlash against the dude if at all, hell, they fucking started a support hashtag for the dude.
Betrayed myself and scooped the fallout and #FreeMilo hashtags too and again am floored by the overwhelming amount gross people giving their honest support for that manipulative snake. A man who literally fabricated cause to get an army on a person who was guilty of being a black woman in a film. Dude is not just a non-contributing member to society but literally steals the humanity from society and people are falling over themselves to get him back. All under the umbrella of "don't silence"/"fight from the underdog" bs from people who've never lifted more than an eyebrow for a marginalized group in their entire existence if they weren't already putting work into tearing down the marginalized in the first place.
Peeped a "FreeMilo/shame on Twitter" tweet among the trending from a gaming Youtuber I used to watch called AlphaOmegaSin before he revealed himself as a staunch gamergater and pure hater of all things feminism. Made me feel like taking 9 scalding showers to know I left likes on that dude's vids before. So many people are such fucking disappointments and it's scary that they aren't sick of it.
But even scarier is the people who drown self-satisfied in their precious, neutral life, all sides look like dummies, coddle your enemies, passionless, milquetoast shit pool. The people who could lift a finger but don't. The people who could amplify the voices of the actually oppressed but don't. The people who could actually help push back against this foul mire of pure hatred and bigotry but due to being educated by decades of a hammered in world view of indifference, can watch this all take place, wag their finger and look the other way in the next moment. I fear for my kids having to deal with those people most of all because it can make people feel so damn isolated when you know that hate may be in the eyes of the next person you meet for things about yourself you can't change.
....Fuck this past month has cracked a hole in my head. Thank God for my pain meds.
