apparently i read selkie's post in a totally different way than everyone else b/c i never even considered the idea that allowing people who are racist/homophobic/transphobic was considered to be inclusive. i thought it was just like....... general rule of thumb we don't like to let those people hang around.

i thought it was more like... inclusivity as in letting people who push the boundary remain. or setting up rules that do prohibit certain content that others may like to write. b/c in my mind inclusivity is letting any type of writer stay around and trying to appeal to them all, regardless of whether or not they're the type of person you want to stay.

uhh anyways i agree 100% with what selkie said. set up boundaries in your communities, for yourself & for others, and it will save you pain in the long run.

also please let 2022 be the year staff just boot people. i got kicked from a site a while ago over a single incident i felt was ridiculous at the time but looking back shout out to that admin for curating their experience. they decided i didn't fit the vibe they wanted and i 100% respect that now.

if you dont vibe with someone, if they're giving you a headache, fuck it give em the boot!!! no more tolerating frustrating or uncomfortable people for the sake of playing nice!!!!
