  • they’re platforming and subsequently legitimising them.

    You could make that argument about them being allowed to have an account at all, but simply marking that account in such a way that informs the userbase that it’s not a troll/parody account or something, but the actual organization?

    That doesn’t “platform” them, they’re already on the platform at the time this happened. And confirming that something asserted to be true, is in fact true, is a good thing.

    Weirdos: Wow so GAY

    Saying it in a positive way doesn’t really make it better. Normalize men being able to enjoy each other’s company without assuming they’re falling in love or lusting after each other, sheesh.

    The classic analogy is the jar of 100 sweets.

    Classic, but deeply flawed.

    This is literally the same way white supremacists ‘justify’ being distrustful/suspicious of black people in general.

    The mental stress that this level of paranoia inflicts on you is likely going to be more harmful on average.

    You’re best off overall if you take reasonable precautions (having a small weapon/pepper spray), and just go about your day without stressing about it all the time.

    A DISC assessment is a pseudoscientific personality testing tool based on psychologist William Moulton Marston’s DISC emotional and behavioural theory, first published in 1928.
