@Madaligned fair enough — please take this as a genuine question then, because I want to understand how to move forward with this: if racism is playing a part even for the people who are criticizing TBS and Ro (both actions and rhetoric) in good faith (of which I believe I'm a part), what can I do about it? Because I genuinely do think that the way the people behind TBS handled the whole situation is bad and that TBS is probably polluted by the mastodon.art set (who are white btw), but I I'm aware of the any criticisms of them will be taken as an excuse by racists to hurl races harassment in their DMs, but I really don't know what I can do about that
