holy hell... i just finished reading through that manifesto and i am utterly baffled at the mental gymnastics they do to try and paint everyone else as abusers and themselves as the victim, 100% of the time.
like... did they write all of that purely to serve their own (blatantly obvious) victim and superiority complexes, or did they actually expect people to see their "evidence" (screenshots of polite, customer-servicey messages to them that were in no way hostile) and go "you know what, you're so right. you ARE being terrorized and verbally assaulted! please allow me to soothe your pain by making a monetary donation to you!"
honestly, they said it best themselves, in the very last paragraph of that thing:
"This is a prime example of why you shouldn’t follow tumblr drama because it’s often started by abusive people trying to cover their ass and redirect you to a nonissue to absolve themselves of guilt."

7 years later, they're on tumblr screeching about "fascist rising"... because they got a 24-hour suspension for breaking forum rules. i saw their rant in the Effects announcement thread before it got nuked, and it absolutely wasn't just "criticism of FR's ableism" or "bringing up their actual medical reactions", like they're trying to spin it - that's like spray-painting dog shit and calling it art.
i wish they'd read their own words and take them to heart. especially these ones:
"It’s been how many years and they still won’t grow up or get over themselves? Please get a life. [...]
At the end of the day, no one gives a shit about your little pet[site] problems. [...]
Please get over yourself. The world doesn’t revolve around you, and your ignorant little world view and expectations stop being important to anybody else the moment you move a foot outside your door into the real world. [...]
Grow some fucking self-awareness and compassion. Stop being shitty little sociopaths. Thanks."

TLDR: astral projection is real, y'all.
