hi. this is going to be my last post.
i have become the victim of extreme cyberbullying where rumors of an absolutely disgusting variety are being spread about me. no matter how much evidence i provide or what i say no one is listening to me and it is honestly breaking me. while it is on another site (twitter. no surprise.) im very scared at the possibility that this is going to follow me to all of my social media due to how intense this has become. i dont want to leave tumblr i love this site and i will be making a new tumblr but the deadratsdream name and account puts me at risk of further harassment so i have to abandon this account for my safety. no one except close trusted friends will be allowed to know the name of my new account and i will not be posting art online for what might be a long time.
these people have become unreasonable to the point other people have had to come privately message me in support in fear that if they say it publicly theyll also be chased off the internet which says a lot about the kind of people i am dealing with. unreasonable and bloodthirsty.
it was fun while it lasted but ill have to leave you guys now and i respect and love everyone who has supported me i love you all. goodbye.

i like how loudly pro-aging this site generally is. being exposed to fairly little "aiehhhh wrinkles are so uglyy i'm scaredd" is a blessing. tiktokers are fighting a losing battle that will make them miserable for quite literally the rest of their life if they don't grow out of it. that and their clear hatred of old people is sickening on the moral level to me but that's a different conversation

I don't know who needs to hear this, but no one ever learns from being yelled at.
I've watched from the sidelines of many discourses/"cancellings"/what-have-youse that've happened around the internet and one thing I've noticed is none of the "Internet Public Enemies" ever learned from their mistakes or changed their minds by being bullied, receiving death threats, or threats of cancelling.
At best I've seen rejected public apologies.
At worst I've seen people have genuine mental breakdowns and develop intense fear of ever speaking up again in case they accidentally say the wrong thing or their thoughts are misconstrued. Because the human mind is simply not equipped to deal with the very real effect of hundreds of thousands of people very loudly saying how much they hate you and that thing you said.
You know what I have seen change people's minds, though? Kindness.
I know, it sounds corny and not nearly as satisfying for some, but I've genuinely seen more people change their ways of thinking when someone has taken time to have a calm conversation with them instead of screaming back.
I think we need to try more love with these interactions. The goal should be to get the other person to grow as a person, not to "win" because you made the "bad person" leave the internet.
Most people genuinely don't want to be hurtful, they just aren't informed.
The best way I can put it is to think about it like raising a child.
When a child says or does something bad, and they get screamed at and/or smacked, they don't "learn their lesson."
The person who yelled at and/or hit them only took out their own frustration on that child, they didn't teach them anything.
The child doesn't learn why what they said or did was hurtful or why they shouldn't do it again, they only become afraid of the punishment and usually try to find ways not to get caught the next time. They also just become resentful of the person who screamed at/hit them.
However, when a child says or does something bad and instead they are sat down and talked to like a person about why what they said/did was harmful, they're more likely to learn from that mistake and not do it again.
Yes, they may mess up a few more times now and again as they're still learning and not perfect, but as long as you keep coming back to them and calmly explaining to them that what they did wasn't very nice and why, they'll grow as a person and learn they can trust the person who helped them through it.
The same is very much true of adults. I know it can be frustrating when someone who we believe should know better about something doesn't, but we also can't go after everyone like they are a Big Bad Evil for making a mistake either. (Save that energy for corporations.)
Will there be some people who just won't listen no matter how much it's explained why their behavior is hurtful? Of course, but they likely won't be the norm. And it's perfectly ok not to consume the content of someone who makes you uncomfortable. It's ok to state your disappointment and leave them to slip into irrelevance. But I've rarely seen a big flashy announcement for a boycott of a person result in that person believing anything other than they were being persecuted and then doubling down on why their behavior wasn't bad.
It's honestly a very Terminally Online thing to do, assuming everyone is meaning to be a bad person for supporting or saying the wrong things, and propagating the idea that if you mess up you must grovel for forgiveness that will never come because mistakes mean you are inherently bad forever and can never change.
Honestly I believe that's why so many people double down when confronted anymore. The internet has cultivated a culture with no forgiveness. Admitting you were wrong has become weakness in the internet's eyes- Better to double down and show everyone how Right™ you are and really how Wrong™ those bullies who disagree actually are. And if someone does come to change their mind, they're met with jeers for not getting there sooner or for believing the wrong thing in the first place. It's toxic.
We need to allow apologies and encourage growth and guidance. We need to let people know that if people make a mistake they'll still be welcome when they change that behavior. And also that they won't be met with some variation of "See, was that so hard?!" or "FINALLY!"
That's important too.
We can't punish the behavior we want to see, and punishment isn't going to help us see that behavior.

AITA for realizing that my best friend is actually a ghost and not telling him because i'm worried that if he realizes he's dead he'll finally be able to accept it and fully pass on and i won't be able to hang out with him anymore?

I’m talking about childhood here, not adolescence. This isn’t about getting a job in high school, it’s about what was in your piggy bank when you were ten.
#sort of but more like i had two parents w different philosophies#brazilian parent made me do chores for $20 but they were like. clean the entire house and yard chores#dad gives me a small amnt every friday but will randomly promise a big reward if i do a certain thing#issue is that im autistic and he always ends up Implying the reward not Telling me the reward#got told i lost 100 dollars one time and i was so confused as to what he meant#then he was like 'well you didnt do this chore even though i told you to'#being told to was being told 'hey make sure to do the chores today'#like i mean damn dude how am i supposed to know
