Yeah, no. They called me a gatekeeper, said I wasn't Aroace, and called me a pedophile.

They also expected you to call them a narcissist and a bunch of other things.

They also doubled down on using definitions they showed a lack of understanding of.

I got screen caps of them behaving in a manner they were trying to accuse you of.

Oh, I saw it all. That was definitely ugly. Baseless pedo accusations are not okay. I can usually tell the difference between when somebody is lashing out and if they're like a serial bad actor with a history of that shit. In my dealings with them, they really didn't strike me that way.

I also had a bunch of people just straight up diagnose me with a bunch of heinous shit one time in my life where I tried to having some basic bare minimum authenticity. So I get why they freaked out, even if I don't like all the stuff they said to you. I was hoping I could bring them back to a gentler interaction by not rising to the callout. I just really like the fediverse and believe in our potential to break our old habits here
