tired of folks on here weaponizing social justice language to dispose of people they *personally* don't like.
just because you hold a marginalized identity/ies doesn't necessarily mean someone who hurts you is an oppressor.
there is a difference between interpersonal harm vs systemic violence. conflating the two is dishonest as hell and only muddles the truth.

i get that people on here think they're doing a good thing by outing "an abuser" (who happens to be someone they dislike).
the problem is when y'all don't fact check or think critically, and run with a story you heard in the game of broken telephone that is twitter.

labelling *anyone* who harms us personally "an abuser" and then pressuring our followers into discarding them is an easy way to redirect the pain that person caused us.
not only do we do *our self* a disservice, but now we're unfairly perpetuating widespread harm.
