We dismiss 4chan and reddit and HN as “harmless” and write them off as immature kids, while they actively harm people.
@ashedryden Is it necessarily a binary allegiance-choosing exercise? Seriously asking.

@chaosprime yes, it is. -
@ashedryden I'm not sure all victims of abuse want to form a political bloc you join by hating and excluding the person who victimized them.

@chaosprime what does that matter? people make all sorts of bad decisions, doesn't make them good decisions -
@johnwlockwoodiv It's a question of whether it's about drawing lines on the other side of which are BAD GUYS to FIGHT or something else. -
@chaosprime in a fight against a behavior, accepting that behavior is on the other side of the line -
@johnwlockwoodiv Sure. Does not-accepting a past behavior mean not-accepting a present and future human being? -

@johnwlockwoodiv It's interesting how palpably eager some people are to pay the "cost" of burning other human beings' lives down. -
@chaosprime there is nothing wrong with sharing experience & people change their lives as a result of their behavior. -
@johnwlockwoodiv Yet if someone who has committed abuse changes that behavior, failure to ostracize them remains a betrayal of their victim. - 19 more replies

@chaosprime@ashedryden See above: " _I can't trust you_" The binary: 'potential abuser' and 'someone who does not deliberately harm others' -
@TiaRachel It would be lovely if the line that were required to be in place there for people to be comfortable actually existed. -
@chaosprime Sometimes we have to do these things in our own minds, right? And, expanding on that, in our communities.
