I took this meme from @[email protected] on Mastodon. She’s a transfem from Germany (iirc) and has one of the best senses of humor I have ever seen. Give her a follow!
also I visited my sister’s place and the really nice stray is still there!! shoutout Chester the kitty!!
Some people internalise the hatred they get from others and think it’s true on some level and then seek out hateful spaces like /tttt/ to hear these “harsh truths” because they think people that disagree with that are just coddling them/not being truthful in order not to hurt feelings. They think they’re tougher than those who stay in the “hugboxes”, aka positive spaces.
Some people go to these spaces as a form of self-harm and have a hard time breaking with the habit of going there even when they know it’s harmful.
I mean there are spaces that enforce a toxic positivity where you can’t vent or just feel like crap, but they’re still preferable to the toxic sludge produced by the self-hate spaces that can linger with you for a long time.
oh - i mean - i understood the rest of the post but didnt know what that wird meant.
interesting. idunno if thats… if that should be considered self harm… mayb im underthinking rn…
