• Pro abuse terminology on Tumblr

    I decided to document a recent spike in pro abuse rhetoric on Tumblr. This list will start with xenosatanism, which I already covered in an earlier post.

    Since appearance of xenosatanism, a certain section of Tumblr gradually became more tolerant towards similar ideologies, often through the means of guilt-tripping and fear of coming off as too critical. This is a brief list of specific terms I found so far.

    A bunch of these date last month specifically. This coincides with an ongoing scandal on the para side of Tumblr, and abuse apologists deciding to double down. Specific lists of stances tend to include seemingly contradicting things, such as being pro abuse yet anti harassment, pro rape yet also pro bodily autonomy. It’s possible to say these labels aren’t thought through, and coiners just try to hit a combo of what’s seen as based and cool in their environment.

    More similar terms may appear, and I might add them here, or make a separate post that’s just the list. I’m currently watching how the situation resolves on Tumblr, and whether more anti abuse people will stop being afraid of voicing criticism.
