Here's OP saying they post these names to upset me on purpose: https://kbin.social/m/memes@sopuli.xyz/t/272967/-/comment/1242402

Yes, that's better. When I was abused as a child I survived through self advocacy. Now self advocacy is my trauma response. I've learned to keep my calm and construct reasonable arguments why I shouldn't be attacked, even while I'm panicking on the inside. For example, my reasonable argument why OP shouldn't deliberately post memes in order to trigger me is that that's mean, and my reasonable argument why they shouldn't accuse me of faking trauma is that that's literally what they said is abusive.

Two of those are links to the same post, and two of them are not examples of me saying the show triggers my PTSD. You asked if I say the show triggers my PTSD on every post.

Rock, rock, rock the boat
Disrupt the status quo
Agitate, agitate, agitate, agitate
Conformity's but a show

No.

A lot of people use slurs like "narcissist" without thinking, and won't go to the effort of bypassing a filter. In that case the advantage is it gets people to think about their actions. I am perfectly happy with a system where moderates don't use slurs and reactionaries can, because it allows us to educate the moderates while banning the reactionaries.

I hope they start cracking down on the slurs narcissist and cult. It's tricky because those two are legitimate words inside the community, but people have lately taken to using them as pejoratives.

I don't want people getting ideas that She-Ra is a good show or that memes featuring it are worth making, because then more people will post it. Right now, my PTSD is under control because I know someone's been triggering me on purpose. If I make sure to inform people that idealised images of dictatorships are bad, then there's less risk other people will join in the supposedly "harmless" fun.

I have not been seeking it out, as I already told you and as you ignored. Listening to people when they're hurt is a very important skill for freedom fighters. Telling mentally ill people to "just suck it up while changing none of your own behaviour is a very important skill for fascist soldiers. Maybe you could stop exemplifying every example of abusive behaviours in your favourite show. You're not supposed to see the Evil Horde as role models.

Ew, monarchism show that triggers my PTSD

Oh, I didn't apologise to you. You see, you're the one who's deliberately been triggering other people and accusing people of faking mental illness. You don't deserve an apology. But you do deserve basic respect, and that's why I believe you when you say you have a mental illness.

Now yes, the solution I proposed is the same thing I've been asking for all along. Because though it may come as a shock to you, I am asking for something completely reasonable that is in both our best interest. I'm not the one triggering mentally ill people on purpose, that's you. And you're also the one who posted a meme about how abusive it is to fakeclaim someone a few hours before you fakeclaimed someone. You are the Shadow Weaver in this scenario, and even this monarchist show knows enough to call people like you abusers.

What you have been doing is harmful to others and destructive to yourself. So the easy and sensible thing to do is stop.

Fucking LMAO at the poster of this meme accusing me of faking PTSD. Least abusive She-Ra fan. #1 Shadow Weaver lookalike

In this cartoon, the main characters are progressive lesbian mental health allies, and yet somehow also dictators who are implied to abuse their servants. Queerfash 🏳️‍🌈🤗🏳️‍⚧️

Now that you have told me you have PTSD, I believe you. I did not believe you had PTSD when your choice of action was deliberately and knowingly provoking me, because you didn't tell anyone you were upset, and nobody here is a mind reader.

Now, it's clear that I'm being triggered by seeing your memes, and you're being triggered by me pointing out that you're promoting an idealized view of dictatorships. So maybe the correct path to de-escalation is to stop deliberately antagonizing me, and then neither of us will be panicking or having flashbacks to the rape of our wives.

I've just been browsing. You're the one who keeps putting it into my feed just because you know I don't like it. And yeah, I get angry when I'm triggered. It's called a fight or flight response for a reason, and any veteran can tell you what that reason is. Now you want to fakeclaim a mental illness? You're just like every other She-Ra fan who claims to like the show because it portrays trauma sympathetically, and then goes on to attack mentally ill people.

Don't bother, it's antisemitic

Fuck Ted Faro

So you're the person who's been triggering my PTSD

Hey, it's the show where the "good guys" are the rulers of a racial caste system

Ew, monarchism show
