Journal by Azuma Hazuki

Things I've noticed happen in the general vicinity of my posts:

- Fundie nutjobs reduced to curling up in a little ball, plugging their ears, and spewing either contentless religious copypasta (Freeman) or barely-coherent amateur apologia (Bot).
- The Shitey Uzzard degenerating into mudslinging and pretending (badly) not to care when defeated in arguments...every single one of them.
- Insecure manchildren accusing me of being a transsexual (some random AC) on one hand, and on the other, an actual transwoman accusing me of being a TERF (Kurenai).
- Creeps like VLM, KHallow, JMorris, Entropy, and all their kind simply giving the hell up and abandoning ship when faced with a proper down-smacking for their fallacious sociopathy.

When you have people on the fringes everywhere angry with you, each of them accusing you of the precise opposite on the spectrum they hate, you must be doing something right. In all my time here, I've never gone in for trolling, deception, or shitposting. I've always stood for what's right, and took the fight to those who would try to spread their noetic poisons, fighting it everywhere it appears for the sake of anyone unfortunate enough to encounter it, knowing full well the originators of such poison are by their own choice irredeemable, certainly so in this lifetime.

And my approach drives them nuttier than squirrel vomit.

Well boo fucking hoo. When someone on here tells me I'm bitchy or angry, I just laugh, because what they really mean is "you're making me uncomfortable by exposing my bullshit in such direct, uncompromising, profanity-laced ways." It's pretty obvious the accusations of being a transsexual come from sheltered, misogynist little manchildren who can't handle actual women speaking the plain, unvarnished truth to them, because they have so little truck with the opposite sex they've never seen it in the real world before. No, this insult to their manly honor cannot stand! ONLY another man could POSSIBLY have the balls, literal balls, to stand up to them! (And of course the kind of person who'd make this argument lumps MtFs under the heading of "man." I don't, though I do draw an important distinction between transwomen and cisgender women because, frankly, they are never going to know what it is to have a period or risk being pregnant).

Time to put on your big-boy undies and join the adult world! The toughest people I know are all women, including my own mother and some of the nurses at work. I'm a marshmallow compared to them.

And I don't regret anything, as painful as it's been sometimes. Am I a "nice girl?" No, and haven't been for several years, and you know what? It's better this way. "Nice girls" get used and taken advantage of and thrown away and never have their needs met. "Nice girls" are the permanent victims of tone trolling by people too frightened or too weak to deal with them as the full human beings they are. In this place, at this time, as this site sinks further and further into RWNJ decay, all it means is I'll fight all the harder.

What I hope this does is encourage the people on here who still seek the light to defend it. Hit back. We're seeing on a number of scales, from the President's capitulation on his stupid bullshit shutdown right down to the examples at the head of this post, that the sociopaths are like any bully: weak, cowardly, amoral types who don't expect and can't handle sustained, principled pushback. Part of it is that evil simply can't comprehend good, but mostly it comes down to how bullies work and have always worked. Anyone who wants to join me in fighting the good fight, please do: we've seen that it works.

    I am sorry, but the only thing the previous AC said was to compare me to a German from the 30s or 40s. He didn't have an argument, he had watered down name calling. And the fact that it was direct to the internets favorite foil, nazis, made calling Godwin an absolute necessity. Also, the metaphor isn't accurate because, brace yourself, I, the singular person he was talking about, am not a nazi. That is the problem with name calling, it makes anything else you might say utter dross.

    You really haven't been paying any attention around here if you think I am OK with literally anything about Trump, you are right, the parallels are uncomfortable.

    I am not perfectly clear what you mean by the "hysterical female" trope, but I don't think I could have been any clearer that I wasn't trying to make others upset or "win" anything.

    I am not going to claim to be 100% on speeches of the civil rights movement, but yes, I know the broad strokes.

    I also did not speak against passion I spoke against getting loud, unreasonable, and aggressive. There is a difference.

    I apologize if this is going to sound like green site BS, but I have a lower UID than Azuma, I have seen much of the same stuff she has on this site, and for at least as long, that is verifiable. She is a more prolific commenter than I, sure, but I don't find the argument that she has seen some hidden pattern in the matrix persuasive. Sorry if I don't meet your measurement of fair, but that is literally the single think I try hardest to be, I will try harder next time.

    You can't "force" anyone to see anything, sorry, it just doesn't work. And the entire thrust of my argument was that Azuma was giving aware her ability to influence me by her tone, perhaps you lost that in your hero worship.

    I fully believe PEOPLE commit atrocities, and all of the cases I am aware of start with dehumanizing your victims. Which is why I am uncomfortable with things like "good" "evil" and "nazi" being ANY PART of an argument, it is incredibly unpersuasive.
