things that DO make this website “toxic”:
- adults holding young minors to the exact same standards as them
- staff ignoring literal nazis and pedophiles
- the popular idea on here that mildly (quote unquote) “problematic” statements always hold the exact same weight regardless of whether they were made 5 minutes ago or 5 years ago
- terfs

things that DON’T make this website “toxic”:
- calling white people “mayonnaise”
- kids still figuring out their respective mental states
- people constantly finding out new terms for whatever gender they want to identify by
- people identifying as otherkin and not even hurting anyone else by doing that

The otherkin one is a bit iffy though. Like, if someone claims to be otherkin of a character you made as a coping mechanism then guilt tripping you for being mad that they are hijacking your coping character, then that is toxic.

okay, but that’s GUILT TRIPPING being toxic, not otherkinity being toxic?? that’s like saying stopsigns are dangerous because a murderer used one to chop somebody’s head off. the murderer is the dangerous part, not the stop sign. otherkinity isn’t toxic. period.

Even claiming to be the character someone else made to cope with something is toxic though since yo’re taking their pain and exploiting it. Like, if a schizophrenic makes a character based off of their hallucinations and you claim to be that character IRL, you’re a dick. And no, this isn’t some random scenario, this is something I’ve seen actually happen.
