there are people who say "I'm not an anti" but whose beliefs and actions align exactly with everything antis do and say, just as there are TERFs who claim not to be TERFs. a lack of self-identification with a term doesn't mean the term is inapplicable 100% of the time

So now you're moving the goalposts. It's not who self identifies as an anti. It's who you believe is an anti.

so in your mind, self-identification is the only way for a label to apply to anyone? a sexist isn't a sexist unless they claim to be?

You are the one who defined antis by self-identification, yes?

I mean, if it were me - and it's not - I'd define bad actors in fandom by their behavior, not some belief system.

you mean bad actors like, say, someone who insults a stranger right off the bat for making a post they disagreed with, then proceeding to demand said stranger conform to their preferences?

you're not demanding I keep talking to you, but you absolutely did demand I change my post to include a caveat about only meaning self-professed antis.
