Before You 'Friend'

Please note:

- I have something of a vetting process behind the requests I accept. I've created this entry to aid in filtering out the inappropriate audience.

- Due to my social anxiety, I sometimes struggle with initiating and maintaining conversation. Please be patient with me if we're in contact.

- I may not be online every day, but I don't plan on abandoning ship completely. So if you shoot me a message or friend request and see I haven't been online in a hot minute, again, please be patient! I'll get to it when I can.

- I have zero intentions of coming across as insensitive, so if something I say or do isn't "politically correct," feel free to drop a message with constructive criticism on how I might be able to better approach the topic in the future. There's no need for rudeness right out of the gate.

Do Not Interact

If you:

- are under 18. It's better for the both of us that we interact and make connections with people belonging to our respective age groups, yeah?

- are a nazi/neo-nazi or share nazi ideology.

- are pro-ana/mia.

- are a MAP, pedo- or zoophile.

- are a proshipper.

- are an obsessive stan. I'm referring to Swifties and Arianators especially, but this overall applies to fans of anyone with great status and wealth—meaning political figures too.

- use typing quirks consistently. While I don't have much trouble reading the occasional 1337 5P34K (leet speak) or letter substitution, it does get incredibly frustrating when I'm exposed to it in full conversations or in written pieces. Not to mention, it causes a multitude of screenreader issues for those who are visually impaired.

If you promote, consume, excuse, or engage in:

- any mild or extreme form of bigotry and/or discrimination. This includes but is certainly not limited to: racism, nationalism, xenophobia, antisemitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, fatphobia, and ableism.

- abuse in any of its various forms (mental/emotional/verbal/physical/sexual, animal/child/domestic). Corporal punishment is included, as it's often used as an excuse for negligent parents to beat their kids. Abusers are weak-willed, and I hope all of their toes fall off. <3

- the fetishization of mental illness and disorders, as well as incest, same sex relations, minorities, disabled individuals, and/or children. Lolicon/Shotacon and DDLG fits under this category.

- the infantilization of minorities and disabled individuals.

- victim blaming and bullying.

And when in doubt...
