I love your site and find it very helpful and inspiring! :-) I may not agree with getting around paywalls for the simple fact that some of us have to earn a living from our content. But you are very gifted for knowing how to do that and providing the means for people who otherwise couldn't afford the subscription that also doesn't use them very often at all. We can agree to disagree. Don't let naysayers get to you😎

Girl... Took my ass to the thread and they're complaining about you «inciting harassment». Their imageboard is dedicated to that. Rules for thee, but not for me!

strawberry-gashes 1 year ago

@yourdevilfriends i said on the post i don't condone harassment, not even of terfs. i'm sorry if that happens and cut it out to anyone who wants to do that, but i'm not sorry for... copying and pasting what was literally in the thread

@strawberry-gashes Real feminism is when I call a woman who disagrees with me a «fat quirky millennial munchie», I guess

strawberry-gashes 1 year ago

@yourdevilfriends ty for the heads up. i wasn't aware of that and i probably won't be on there any time soon. the last time was a year ago so my track record isn't very good

@yourdevilfriends oh is that a quote? i guess "quirky" is subjective, but i am fat and i am a millennial so i'll give them the facts on that. i agree using fat as an insult (i'm assuming was the purpose) isn't very feminist though

strawberry-gashes 1 year ago

*in the context of that often being an insult used specifically to demean women in a society so heavily focused on unrealistic beauty standards

strawberry-gashes 1 year ago

"Their imageboard is dedicated to that" in fairness they do have rules about that, the point is observation and snarking in the thread amongst themselves, not directly engaging with folks featured. which... was technically already broken bc i have gotten a message on my cbox about it lol. if it wasn't a farmer and just a nc user unfortunately (ironically?) they created a guilty by association scenario

Yeah, it's a quote. I'm surprised they're this upset, this is pretty gentle criticism compared to whatever goes on there.

Gosh yeah this webring, I really do wish they had clarified as I was on there for a really long time and had no clue until someone emailed me. I've got really no issue with them having their own webring as I am a firm believer in free speech. But I did feel kind of tricked when I found out

allyratworld 1 year ago

But I do also understand why they would hesitate to clarify as they'd likely face massive online harassment (which is a really ass backwards thing to do if you want to convince people to support trans rights. we should be being kind to these people, but i could write a whole article on that) I don't have an answer as to what a better move would be.

strawberry-gashes 1 year ago

@allyratworld you're not the only one. i'm not in favor of harassment, but i don't personally buy into "avoiding harassment" because the intent was still stated publicly already, just not on the ring itself, so there wasn't any actual protection going on

strawberry-gashes 1 year ago

like if this was a private discord server or group somewhere, i could see how that would actually be keeping it on the dl to prevent harassment. but this was... not. so now other people like yourself were involved in something they would have rather not been

strawberry-gashes 1 year ago

it reads like how 4chan would pull trolling stunts but then everyone was aware of it because it was discussed openly in public. this is like having a phone conversation on speaker on a crowded train then getting pissed at a passenger for recording you saying what the password to the clubhouse is

punkwasp 1 year ago

I saw this webring a little while ago and immediately saw "adult women" and was like. yeah i just know these ppl are TERFs lmao. Sucks to have it confirmed though

love that the terf webring pretends "we don't police your site" but then they can "reserve the right to remove and exclude sites at our discretion" and they have a "vetting process" that includes denying ppl with anti-terf rhetoric or that use "gender" and list pronouns lol

i'm not judging anyone who's not a terf for being a member considering they conveniently don't mention that in their rules or anything which is part of what annoys me about it. they're pretending to be an in general webring when really it was created for an agenda, then they wonder why members would get callouts. (not saying the callouts are always appropriate since, again, the webring tries to not be transparent)

anyway i'm not trying to make neocities about "politics", but i am down for people who are joining a webring to know what they're accidentally associating themselves with. my umbrage is that it's insidious to just not come out and say what your intentions are. i myself almost applied for membership and i would have been upset to only find out after the fact

i'm a cis woman who doesn't hate trans people and i am 30 or 40 years old and i do not need this. anyway if you're a member of women of the internet and wonder why people ask you if you're a terf it's bc it was created by and for terfs and you met their standards by not saying your pronouns or whatever

i did not even know that a terf webring exists

strawberry-gashes 1 year ago

oh, and you're a member of it and a terf, good for you or w/e. but umbrage is unrelated ppl who aren't being associated with your rhetoric bc the mods are too chickenshit and insidious to publicly state what their intentions were in creating it

strawberry-gashes 1 year ago

@ruralrose it's bc they don't acknowledge that they are publicly. it's not even an iykyk eye narrowing sitch on my end. the creator flat out said in a thread they made it for terfs, and that applicants are thoroughly checked to keep out "trannies/pronouns/scrotes." ie it's supposed to be a webring for cis women who don't believe trans women are women

strawberry-gashes 1 year ago

oh and fun fact: they then turn and question why current members would be let in if they're "mogaitards" (a mix of a phrase coined by a pedophilic abuser and an ableist slur.) ie, they also like. shit on the women for not womaning the way they want them to. ✨ feminism ✨

@strawberry-gashes and the funny thing about that is my about me page, does have a pronoun list and on my DNI section, TERFs was one of them. Surprised that they didn't see that! And I did send them email to delete my website and then blocked their email too.

I'll definitely check them out. I know about 15-16 years back, i was into a few bands like that, but their names escape me. Just pre-ordered the upcoming SLOW vinyl though. Stoked.
