Logging back onto Twitter to openly address and warn the Los Angeles Goth and BDSM community about DracHaus after they made THIS statement as a reaction to the venue being called out for hiring a known rapist.

Only making this thread to warn and b/c it was suppressed internally #Drachaus is an “underground” afterhours in LA and it’s one I frequented for years. It is, inherently an edgy place where questionable things happen. It being underground also means that it’s been a great venue for many alt events in LA. I’ve been to many diff events there.

This is just you being a racist. It's funny how white folks decided to respond to this post with more racism. It's proving my point. I was raised very suburban. No one in my family sags their clothing. We are Christian and none of us idealize criminals. And yet, none of that matters. You will still project racism onto me. This lesson is a cornerstone of "wokeness". That no amount of assimilation will save you.

And this is a good example of what I'm talking about. White folks misappropriate at the term to essentially suggest that if a black person experiences oppression, it is their fault. Entirely. Now, of course you could argue that if a person commits a crime, they deserve to be punished for said crime. And that seems like pretty reasonable logic until you recognize the nature of the law.

It's a term created by black people meant to be used in private conversations between black people about blackness. When it stopped being that, it lost its meaning and became a trite. Which is a good example of why it should have only remained in that context. My observation is that white people, probably because of white supremacy will always feel entitled to everything they come into contact with regardless of how appropriate or not appropriate it is. So they can say anything they want. The question is should they?

Woke has a fixed meaning. Its a term created by black folks to be used in conversations between black folks about being aware of the full dangers of white supremacy. It has been intentionally misapproriated to derail that conversation and become meaningless. It's not a coincidence that the same people who hate education about racism in schools (CRT is another great example of intentional misappropriation) also hate "wokeness".

Begging you to get better at telling racist jokes I don't think you know how boring you are

I think there's a perspective that should be considered here. Oftentimes when people speak of men in a general sense, they are not taking a measurement of every single man in the world, but of the men they've met in their lives. And when you're a woman, you feel pressure from men constantly. Basically, until you have essentially been claimed by another man, and even then.

I probably feel differently about this as a survivor but one thing you realize almost immediately when you speak openly about rape is that men, even the good ones are more likely to doubt you than women. Because women can easily imagine it happening but men often struggle Even in passing, it's really not hard to imagine a man cornering you and forcing you to do something you don't want to do because that is much of what it feels like to be around men.

DSA hosted a meeting at a coffe shop owned by a church that has come out and made explicitly anti black statements and people are acting like avoiding these spaces is akin to breaking their arms. I don't know if you're black, but I am. I'm also an event organizer and I organize socials in the LA county area.

Most people can see that there are more than just white people in the photo. What people are responding to is that there are very few black people. Sorry, but in Los Angeles, you have to kinda go out of your way to be in a predominately white space. It's very hard to have any group of people assemble and have them be absent of black folks. And the ONE black person in this photo reached out and stated they were new.

There’s ONE visibly black person in the photo. If black folks felt welcomed there would be more of them and you wouldn’t need to ask them to go to the front.
if someone took a photo of my community the diversity would be clear because we cultivate. I dunno why these people always seem hesitant to do this work. It comes off like you resent the idea of doing it. Why not just say that isn’t important to you and say the criticism is accurate?

Fun fact: DSA held a meeting at a church that also spread anti black rhetoric; along with homo/transphobia. The vibe I've always gotten from DSA is leftist LARPing so it doesn't surprise me how white it is. ♥️

Except that isn't really true. It isn't individuals, it is indeed a system. You're saying that to me after the repeal of Roe v Wade in the context of changes to title 9, which prevents harassment and abuse from being properly handled on campuses. It is indeed a system I get your point. You want for us to not generalize. You want us to speak of individuals and not men as a collective. That isn't being done but I think your position is an outgrowth of not actually understanding the reality of what happens when women report abuse.

Your point is still illegible. Perhaps this is the issue. I'm speaking about women not being able to report abuse, you are saying a system that protects men and silences women is an outgrowth of a masculine tendency. How is that not an argument for silence? I am not the one equating masculinity and maleness with abuse. I am instead saying that because our society is so forgiving to men who violate women, they will remain silent. I have never once argued that abusive behavior is part of being a man.

Lol. And see, since masculinity was never mentioned in the comment, it's not unfair for me to read you associating a boy violating a girl with masculinity. You're criticizing my argument, that argument is girls should not stomach violations. Youre correct to say abuse isn't essential to misogyny. Except that is how many men view masculinity and that is why these ideas harm so many women. If you wanted to make an argument against left leaning people and toxic masculinity, this was the wrong context.

And see this is the exact issue. This is not something that happened 30 years ago It's something that happened recently and was the conversation of an article that went viral a few weeks ago. I don't know why so many men would rather believe that women are just lying and making shit up than actually listen to what women are saying about their own experiences. This was a wealth documented instance and the boy who did it literally admits to doing it.

Dude you're talking in circles. I have spoken about masculinity several times, I very well could have in this video. I didn't. I believe you take issue with women speaking out against abuse because you are criticizing exactly that. I think you're confused because you are obsessively searching Twitter to make these silly arguments against misandry but to be clear:
Jul 12, 2022 • 12 tweets • 3 min read
It's funny you said this because I do not at all mention masculinity in the video nor the comment you're saying and you want me to entertain your shitty argument because you do not like hearing women speak about abuse. Read what I said You want me to derail a conversation about society babying men who violate women and then framing women who speak out against said violations as blood thirsty harpies to talk about how some "lefties" talk about masculinity.

I'm sorry but the context was incredibly clear in the original tweet. You were just looking for something to be upset about and felt the need to reflexively defend men. You should think about that and why you immediately read calling out misogyny as man hatred. Believing that assaulting women is a "masculine trait" is deeply "misandrist". Why do you struggle to call out the abusive behaviors of men and why are you so devoted to policing how women speak about stomaching that abuse? How does that help your argument

I actually think that this is a really important distinction and it's possible that this is where some of it gets lost. I think it's simply factual that the people legislating against abortion right now are specifically targeting women and I do think it's important say that. I think some people get the impression that inclusive language is downplaying or dismissing the misogyny and that could simply be where things have been miscommunicated.

Ok let's talk.

I am fascinated by the argument that saying "people with uteruses" is misogynistic because it narrows "women" down to their parts and the argument that this never happens for people designated male at birth. Especially within the context of...abortion and periods If we were talking about prostate cancer, I would take no issue being described as a person with a prostate. Why would I? It's a medical risk I have and that language is more inclusive of me than "men" would be.
