Read on Twitter
okay, so i’m just gonna say this. it’s completely valid to be uncomfortable with someone’s tweets. i personally don’t like to see nsfw tweets, BUT, i’m a big believer in allowing people to tweet what they want on their accounts (as long as it’s not literally offensive, hurtful +
or in some other way inherently wrong) twitter has offered so many ways to customize your own experience. you can mute accounts, you can mute certain words, you can unfollow, you can block, etc. utilize those when you come across tweets that make you uncomfortable.
the moment you start bullying people for what they put on their accounts that isn’t genuinely harmful and just makes you uncomfortable, you’re in the wrong. you have the ability to avoid seeing those things. you can’t control others. and when you try to, things blow up.
ultimately, we need to learn to respect each other. both sides. cause again, i completely understand not wanting to see certain content, but stop harassing people for it. take it to the dms, mute, unfollow, block, etc
but don’t misconstrue what i’m saying. if someone is genuinely posting legitimately INAPPROPRIATE AND HARMFUL THINGS, you can have that conversation with them. otherwise, you’re just creating discourse and dividing a community that for a lot of people is a comfort space.
normalize having respectful conversations about what makes you uncomfortable, not making subtweets about people and not even giving them the chance to talk about it without feeling attacked and having to be defensive.
this will blow over like every time these things happen. but we should work to solve these problems instead of creating new ones and let this community grow instead of divide
