+ the *vague* direction of safety! Or at least 'MORE safe than where I'm currently standing'."

//My symmetry-loving self does definitely get that.

//Well, *I* know that I like hanging out with you, and I'm pretty sure a lot of other people around here do too!

//I do, at least, get where the feeling comes from. Reading other people's motivations is hard, especially online.

//...Not just you, lemme just say that.

//Thanks! Happy to know!

//Yeah, I agree. Thanks for hearing me out.

I mean, I don't want to be associated with legit creeps either, and I don't even particularly like the guy. But I admit I'm scared seeing just how torches-and-pitchforks everyone gets over him.

//In DMs? Thanks!

//Whatever that is, I just won't check it PERIOD. My anxiety over what people think of me is really bad too.

Like, I'm half-worried that just by posting this, one or more of the folks who post drama about that one Potato guy will be convinced I'm a sympathizer of his or something.

//Thanks.

Myself, I try to stay clear of drama and just focus on positive interactions, rather than 'take sides' or tick anyone off (unless someone's a literal IRL groomer/bigot/something equally serious).

If anyone's spreading drama, I may unfollow them.

//As long as it's not NECESSARILY 'someone out there thinks I am a Bad Person'.

The only unfollows/blocks I've had are, at least, people who I barely interacted with.

I do sometimes interact with NSFW accounts, but I try to keep any actual lewd content off my TL.

So IDK. Guess I can't please all.

I mean, unfollowing me I can understand if you don't like my content. But blocking just feels... a little excessive.

//Sorry, what does she tell him exactly?

Wearing hard-hats is proper safety protocol, but it also prevents him from headpatting every last one.

Priorities, priorities.
