so you don’t want to just talk about yuletide? or? none of that stuff will come up if you’re talking about brainstorming or who to treat. if it does, you yell mod and they freeze. all yuletide, only yuletide.

for general talk, idk make friends? my locked twitter is me an 80 other friends who have exactly what you’re looking for. i dont think it’s possible to have that in an anon space even with mods. maybe an aggressivly maintained lgbt subreddit? idk

I just looked and right now the FFA Yuletide thread still has people talking about biological determinism and how trans people are the real gender essentialists. I guess what I was hoping for really isn’t possible to maintain.

Yes, we get it, you're very persecuted.

Yeah, you're right. Sorry but it's just unrealistic to expect a community that is thoughtful and kind towards social justice issues but also wants to anonymously stir shit about a fanfiction exchange. Not because everyone in the latter group is anti-SJ or anything like that, but because by nature a community like this will attract some unsavory sorts and most of us here would rather just ignore them and have a more active community than move to a more heavily moderated community that also might ban some wank we find amusing.
