Alright fine twitter. I don’t insert myself into drama, but I have experience with every single thing that happened here. So this will be a thread breaking this shit down. Big trigger warnings for all mentioned. https://twitter.com/chaosicon/status/1362455133070663680
1. JASPER: Nsfw mention, pedophilia , grooming , abuse , manipulation :
What Jasper did is textbook grooming. Is he a pedophile? Probably not. You need to hit specific criteria to be a pedophile. However, he is an abuser and a groomer. Manipulating teenage girls, making them ...

Compliant, desperate, making them feel like this sort of behaviour is acceptable is what grooming is. You’re creating the ideal partner by gaslighting. That’s grooming, what Jasper did was grooming. You don’t get to say it’s not.
Having pictures of minors in sexual situations is always child pornography. You don’t get to say it’s not, that’s the law. Laws of consent are only for physical in-person interactions and those laws are COMPLICATED. But the laws on porn are simple: under 18? Child porn.
If you are a minor and you see this: delete all photos of yourself in sexual situations. If you’re found with these photos YOU CAN BE CHARGED. It’s dangerous. Don’t let anyone manipulate you into these photos. Don’t take them until you’re 18.
2. KYLE
Kyle is from Canada. I am also Canadian. Not only do we, in Canada, have a branch of the KKK, we have our own history with white supremacy and racism. We learn about the KKK in school. You can’t use his Canadian status to claim he doesn’t understand. We understand

I need to make this clear: I am not Jewish, I am not black. The KKK does primarily target black and Jewish people, although LGBTQ can and have been and will be tied within this history, we are safer if we are white. Safe? No. I am not safe. But I am not unsafe because I’m white.
The only people who can accept or reject an apology about the KKK are black and Jewish people unless we are talking about LBGTQ history specifically. It’s not ours. We don’t have this claim. Do not use queerness to talk on race. There’s a huge racism problem in LGBTQ spaces.
HELENE: I don’t know what more needs to be said about her specifically. The joke was in bad taste. It sucked. Don’t be racist.
Settling things in the DMs? Sure. If you have a problem with someone, DM them. But don’t tell people not to bring attention to bigotry. People have a right to feel safe, and people have a right to know who is or is not safe.
Final point: No one owes you education. I don’t owe you shit just because I’m queer. Black people? Owe you less than shit. They deal with racism every fucking day. Black people, queer people, Jewish people, disabled people - marginalized people OWE YOU NOTHING.
A lot of marginalized people teach. It’s up to you to educate yourself on these issues and situations so you’re not a piece of shit. You’re not “cancelled” if people find out you suck and then stop talking to you. That’s called consistencies for your actions.
That’s all. Don’t be a garbage person and maybe people won’t “cancel” you.
And don’t make giant notes-app-hot takes if you’re so stressed you can’t handle backlash.
