So there's a certain type of bitch online who like to go accusing others of pedophilia, and I've seen others talk about their fear of having their lives ruined by those accusations being hurled at them for posting certain, innocuous and perfectly normal, things. I too started to have that worry after using twitter for a while, because I saw how QUICK the mobs would form over... nothing. Like if you actually looked into it yourself, you'd see that the accusations were crafted whole cloth from lies.

I think it's important to remember that if someone is the type to jump to that kind of accusation (to anyone, not just you specifically), is that you can just kill block them preemtively.

A couple days after the Community Guidelines Change Discourse happened, I went through the #discourse tag and blocked everyone with no chill about it. Everyone who was posting vague accusations of pedophilia, everyone who had "pro-shippers/pedos DNI", everyone who was just spewing vitriol to as wide an audience as possible. Those are the ones who are hypervigilant about "pedophilia", and accuse others (who are almost always trans fem 🤔) of it.

Just making sure that those types can't even see you is how you protect yourself, unfortunately. And like, it sucked going through their posts and profiles and stuff, but after I did that, I have seen none of the worst discourse on this site. I should probably do it again with the new wave of tumblr users actually

Ok wow uh

That's a completely different issue, I guess???

I'm not talking about any sort of actual pedophilia or grooming, I'm talking about baseless accusations.

I don't even know I could possibly respond to this, tbh???
