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.

Feel free to call me Hazuki or Marissa (the avatar name is in the usual order, surname first).
Now...in better times, in better circumstances, I would agree with you. But we are past the time for tone arguments, and furthermore tone trolling is one of the most widespread methods the RWAs use to shut down opposition. And while they do it, they are *laughing* at us for being the kind of people tone arguments work on in the first place. Understand something: they do not care. Not really. They will use "butbutbut MUH CIVILITY!" as a weapon when it suits them, but they don't actually care for it aside from its use to them...which is mainly to disguise and paper over the festering darkness underneath.
This is an old, old trick, dating back at least to the Civil Rights era. In the late 60s and early 70s, the hard right figured out that outright calling someone "nigger" isn't going to win enough votes anymore, so they started using coded dog whistles. It was "urban youth" or "thugs" or "forced busing," but anyone with ears open could hear the double-G loud and clear. And this WORKED. And they *laughed* at the people it worked on, and did their best to discredit the ones it *didn't* work on as radicals, Communists, or whatever other snarl word was handy at the time.
Understand something else, too: evil is a real thing. It is staring you in the face with huge, giant, bloodshot red eyes out of the inky darkness, waiting for you to blink first. Denying the existence of evil does not make it disappear; deny it to its face, and it will simply open its jaws wide and swallow you and mangle you, then shit you out as a broken, ineffectual heap. You would not hesitate to call the Nazi political platform evil; why, then, do you hesitate to call pieces of it evil when it appears here in our midst in the modern day?
I am uncompromising. I am determined. I am not "fiery" so much as more like a relentless chill wind. And I am not "nice," for the reasons I've mentioned several times. Sometimes "nice" doesn't work. The ones I go off on the hardest, I'm not trying to reach; I know full well they have sacrificed their humanity for perceived short-term gain. It is entirely, as Acid Andy pointed out upthread, for the benefit of anyone unfortunate enough to stumble on their rhetoric who may be sitting on the fence. Think of it as an extremely profane form of mental vaccination.
With all that said, if you wish not to engage with me, that's perfectly fine; we may simply have different path and purposes in this world. But please stop and examine why you value civility so highly, and ask yourself if it's not displacing more important things...or if you're being manipulated by the tone trolls.
