This is the part where @shorkgirl laughs and gives me a "Who are you kidding, how long have I known you?" look

But this needs saying again.

Respectability politics is a failed tactic and a losing strategy.

You will NEVER get respect from someone to whom the very act of you existing means you aren't worthy of respect. No matter what the fuck you do or try.

And performative "allies" who are more concerned about the blowback from a protest over why the protest is happening IN THE FIRST GOD DAMN PLACE (And no it doesn't matter what or where the protest is, including posting spoilers of shitty wizard game all over the net) can equally fuck off.

So why the hell bother?

These people want to treat me like the villain I am MORE than willing to play the part.
