If you're into the kind of SJ that's about having Bad Guys to use as punching bags, not improving human behavior, we prolly can't be frans.
@wirehead2501 *nodnod* Yeah, clearly. If the response is to try to silence the victim and defend the abuser, that's a serious hellhole.

@wirehead2501 I'm pretty sure there's a huge gap between requiring that the abuse stop and constructing the abuser as The Enemy, though. -
@chaosprime i don't see construction as The Enemy - feel like that's a strawman. Julie just tweeted smth abt that. -
@wirehead2501 Failing to see how a forced choice of one "side" vs. another isn't about the people on the other "side" being The Enemy. -
@chaosprime i think you are choosing an overly politically-loaded reading of that term. you don't have to be my enemy to not be my ally. -
@wirehead2501 Hmm. It really read to me like "if someone is abused, you either join in vilifying the abuser or you're off the team". -
@wirehead2501 Ashe blocking me in response to me questioning her about it did very little to dispel that impression. -
@chaosprime she doesn't have the bandwidth - she gets SO MANY trolls. :( -

@chaosprime so, the point is that someone who sides w/an abuser is sending an important signal, and it's one folks pay attn to. -
@wirehead2501 My problem is when any behavior short of demonization and ostracization is "siding with", because it's a political binary. -
@chaosprime this reads to me like exactly what you're saying, am i wrong?pic.twitter.com/RdAvzZsCDg

@wirehead2501 I agree with and support all of that completely.
