personally i prefer semaphore

so prefacing this with the fact that I know that the fun is sorta taken out of this by me translating, but not everyone will have the energy to look it up themselves, so I figured I'd help out.

Morse code: AEEEEE FELL DOWN AND TROKE MY PENIT TODAY YEOWCE OUCH YOUCH!!!! SENT FROM MY TELEGRAPH

Semaphore: NO NOT YOUR PENITS

I guess I’m old by internet standards, so allow me to offer the best piece of advice I was given about navigating online spaces as a wee child:

People are going to post things you don’t like, and there’s nothing you can do about it. 

The world doesn’t revolve around you, and you can’t just magically make everything on the internet cater to your needs specifically. Block people, avoid sites, and never trust anyone you haven’t talked to personally. 

Safe to say, it’s advice that I’ve kept with me a lot in the past 15 years I’ve been able to use computers. 

Yes. Instead of trying to completely ruin someone’s life (canceling them) over something you just don’t particularly like (a ship, a show, a concept or interest or opinion out of the norm) be responsible for your own space and just leave. As in leave the page or blog or whatever, and if possible block the tags or user so you don’t see that stuff anymore.

The internet is not your local middle school or house. It’s not even a busy city street. It’s the globe itself but you can see everything. Every culture, every shared interest, every thought and opinion. And policing and then making lists of “the bad people because I just personally find them/their opinions gross” isn’t going to make them go away, and eventually it will just make you someone no one wants to be around.

(Important: Keep in mind that I don’t refer to those with proof of doing illegal things, of course. But if you don’t have proof, check with them or just leave. Canceling is usually done because no one proves the party is guilty of these things. They just decide that it’s true and spread lies and rumors that get worse.

But that’s another subject…)

Just be responsible for yourself and your Internet time, and if you do this, stop trying to control other peoples’.

calling every gnc cis person you see an "egg waiting to crack" even as a joke is not cool or funny at all actually it is extremely invasive and weird and you are just reinventing gender roles but making it "progressive"

is it just me or is this is an extremely weird thing to say about a random stranger based on nothing but a snippet of an eavesdropped conversation
