Assumptions.

by Raintide

If you think you know a person based on the images that person has created or posted, you are wrong.

If you don't converse with or ask questions, but still insist on being biased against a person, you are wrong.

If you follow/take the advice and information or rumors from someone regarding another without looking at the other side, I'm not sorry, but YOU are definitely in the wrong.

These are just some personal thoughts.
I have no shallow friends.
I expect too few will agree with me.

If they were talking about me, half of it may be right. I turned into a total asshole the past 3 years, after quitting booze.

I noticed a recent trend in people dissociating from others who do anything they don't agree with. Nobody is perfect. If I disliked cub porn (I like it and I draw it), I would still associate with cub porn artists if they were good people to talk to or had other qualities I appreciate. But it seems to me that too many people, upon noticing a particular "flaw" on a good friend, stop looking at all their good qualities and let that one "defect" be the only thing worth noting in said person. And that's very unfair.

One of my friends was falsely accused of possessing child porn. I was one of the few who listened to his side of the story. I then talked to those who were pressuring me to dissociate from him and showed them his side of the story. And it became clear that the evidence they had against him was not solid and that he was being impersonated. The lynch mob had to apologize. But both the pain inflicted unfairly upon my friend and the shame they had to bear for having to apologize later could have been avoided if they listened to his defense before jumping into the cancellation bandwagon.

I have a strong feeling that people do that to signal virtue. In the end, they only signal their own vice. The vice of being desperate for approval, at the cost of the well-being of innocent people.
