Okay yeah, my crappy eyesight would not have caught that with a computer screen but... did she really not check the link? Why choose that skull and not the normal ones right next to it?
JSYK Risk goes by He/It/They, but you probably didn't know. Just letting you know! But yeah that's my take too. Like maybe they're just stupid but it's so many mistakes and "coincidences" that it's kinda passed general stupidity, and if we're still giving them the benefit of the doubt it's still dangerously naïve for a self-admitted senior in high school
shit sorry I didn't know about their pronouns, thank you, I would go back and edit the comment if it was possible
yeah, exactly, it's like... I can see a scenario where he just genuinely did not pay attention and just saved the file to use it later, it's not impossible, just unlikely
and nazi sympathizer shit is exactly the kind of thing where bad faith actors shield themselves with plausible deniability, so it's not safe to just give everyone the benefit of doubt every time
AYRT + thread OP anon all good! totally get it, it's an easy mistake to make especially since it's not listed on their clan profile and is only on their tumblr.
And yeahyeahyeah exactly that, like if it was something that WASNT a hate symbol but was still offensive or disrespectful or just inappropriate for the forums i'd be a lot more lenient with them
but it's because racist and nazi sympathizers and other bad faith actors along those lines specifically THRIVE on being able to coast by on shit like plausible deniability and gaslighting and DARVO that i'm so hesitant to give them the benefit of the doubt in this case.
ESPECIALLY when there's an extremely concerning amount of nazi sentiment building up among the youth nowadays (any amount is extremely concerning but you get what i mean lmao) so their age/maturity isn't a completely valid excuse either way. like when you have the internet at your fingertips and a dedicated online presence you stop being able to deflect with "i just didn't know" when there's so much information out there
