- absolutely open to criticism! i'm not qualified to speak on every issue, and i will NEVER be mad about someone telling me that something i did was upsetting/offensive/etc.
- if i mess something up, i encourage you to come talk to me about it personally so i can modify my behavior!
- big leftist
- functionally socialist, ideally anarcho-communist
- if you're a classical liberal/centrist or anywhere further right-wing, you probably won't agree with what i have to say
- no tolerance for racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, classism, xenophobia, antisemitism, islamophobia, lesbophobia, transmedicalism, or any other type of bigotry
- i don't believe in reverse oppression of any kind (e.g.: i don't think you can be racist toward white people, i don't think heterophobia exists, etc.)
- terfs and swerfs are still transphobes and misogynists, and calling themselves feminists doesn't change that
- "maps"/"nomaps" are just pedophiles with a new coat of paint, and all of them need to get some serious help
- i think that things like ace discourse, butch/femme discourse, queer discourse, and other stuff like that stems from like... a lack of experience in irl queer spaces? i've never encountered any of it offline, so i don't put much stock in it
- being a minor doesn't give you a free pass to treat people poorly. neither does having a mental illness/developmental disability. really, nothing does?
- i think there's merit in communities that value open criticism, but i think that public callouts without any attempt to work things out beforehand do more harm than good for everyone involved. shaming someone publicly may feel nice, but it won't get them to stop acting in ways that are hurtful
