This blog explains more of my thoughts on it (I did not make this blog) ->
https://leviathren.neocities.org/blog#boundariesAnd now for some of my own words.
It's the internet. It's believed here that you can do whatever you want, however you want, whenever you want. Which is true across a large scale (that isn't of course, black and white but there are extremes). The things that I have seen and experienced on the internet is why I need these boundaries. These boundaries also are just a given in real life, but the internet is where people can and usually get away with saying and doing horrific things. It doesn't mean that people won't disrespect my boundaries because people in both walks of life have, but these boundaries in a place like the internet are like a safety blanket for me. I'm also aware that I need to be a good role model and that there are people who look up to me, so I am not just doing this for myself.
I'm sure there's going to be some person thinking I'm being or am too extreme for this, but I'm simply not. I'm a sensitive human being with emotions like everyone else who feels for others who also has boundaries that should be respected just like everyone else. That's far from extreme or even too much of an ask.
I also intend for these boundaries to be for every platform I'm on and just in general. PMC is far from what X and Bluesky are, so there are a lot more people who do whatever they want and say under poor moderation practices. (Eventually these will be added to my other platforms.)
-Extends to my other platforms-
1. Being intolerant of others/being a bigot against minorities and individuals who aren't considered the "norm". This includes being intolerant of the LGBTQ+ community, BIPOC, people who are or are not religious (especially Muslims, Atheists, Satanists, etc), the neurodivergent/disabled community, and more.
"Norm" or "normal" means anyone who is white, cisgender, heterosexual, Christian, rich, neurotypical, etc.
DISCLAIMER: I do not claim that being a jerk or worse is okay towards anyone regardless of what or who you are. I will not tolerate anyone being hateful towards anyone else.
2. Misusing and inappropriately normalizing mental disorders or disabilities, especially if you don't have said mental disorder or disability. For example: "I just had a moodswing. I'm so bipolar!" "They're so schizo."
3. Using slurs, especially the r slur even if you're neurodivergent.
4. Spamming, content farming, engage farming, are a bot, trolling, ragebaiting, etc.
5. Using genAI or makes excuses for it and continues to use it and/or support using genAI. Especially if I have previously tried to talk to you about it and you still refuse to not stop using it.
6. Being pushy with religion or trying to force others to be religious or follow your specific religion.
7. Framing people for things they didn't do/say, starting drama, attacking others or myself whether verbally or otherwise, bullying, harassment, trying to manipulate me or others in any way, etc.
This list also includes telling other people, who have not shown absolute evil behavior and I do mean evil behavior like certain current US government officials and a certain guy who got elected as President, to kill themselves or saying they should kill themself (ah yes, telling someone to commit suicide -that shows a lot of what you as a person are like).
Me personally, I'm not the sort of person to tell anyone to kill themself ever because it's triggering for me and I know what it's like. You're either at the lowest, ABSOLUTE lowest point in your life or you're trying to run from something and not face the consequences of something you did. It's very rarely the second option.
8. Doxing minors and innocent people.
9. If you are evil American government officials + offices, rapists, pedophiles, abusers, MAGA, white supremacists, Nazis, or anyone who supports/encourages those listed.
10. Supporting people who does/say horrible/bigoted things while knowing they did/say those things. This includes minimizing bigoted behavior as "not that serious" or similar.
For example: someone was racist some years ago, they made a very bad, half-assed apology that was not even directed at the minority group they hurt and now you decide to act like a white apologist and like the minority community that was hurt should ignore what the racist person said and just accept the apology, further pushing the ignorance towards blatant racism instead of holding the racist person accountable and leaving the minority community to determine how they should feel and act about the situation.
Note: I would heavily suggest learning how to spot dishonest and terrible apologies. And also yes, I strongly believe that when someone said or did some horrendous thing however long ago, they should still apologize and make it right.
11. Misusing the word bullying or the act of bullying and watering down it's meaning. Examples include wishing to be bullied, saying you're going to bully others into doing something, "I really need to be bullied into doing this.", etc. While you're wishing to be bullied, there are people, especially children, around the world wishing to get out of the horrendous bullying situations they are in. Think before you speak and learn empathy.
12. Sexualizing/fetishizing me, my personas, ocs, friends, and/or other people (ESPECIALLY MINORS INCLUDING IF YOU'RE A MINOR YOURSELF) who do not want to be sexualized. This includes making NSFW of those previously listed irl and fictional if it's prohibited (fictional usually referring to ocs/personas/etc).
More will be added when I think of or remember them.
1. Think about what you did or figure out what it was.
2. Make a sincere apology whether publicly or privately. If you don't know how to make a sincere apology here's a website from Harvard on how to make a sincere apology ->
https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/the-art-of-a-heartfelt-apology-20210413223663. Reach out to me either on Discord or my straw.page and tell me who you are and what you did and attach your apology with what you're going to do going forward as well.
I do not have to do this at all and this is coming from a more gracious, patient part of myself. If I reject your apology, don't harass me over it. It is what it is.
If I do not unblock you or there has been no mention of accepting your apology after a long period of time, then that means I have not accepted it. Usually it's dealt with entirely privately at my own pace, so no one's going to hear about it.
PMC should be an inclusive place for everyone, but I do not and should not have to tolerate those who wish harm on others or support the harm of others just for existing.
**This is based on personal experience and it just makes me uncomfy in general. I do not care if others don't mind being called it, this is just something I'd like to be respected for myself.
***genAI = AI-generated content such as images, 'music', videos, writing of any kind, c.ai and other sites like it, using ChatGPT or other chatbots in any capacity including schoolwork, answering questions for you, etc, etc. This does not include average machine learning and AI that has been around since before the 2000s.
****This will change next year to only 18+.
