    We'd assumed as much, based on what Sunshine's told me. Sunshine would be in the same position if he hadn't teleported himself into a different dimension when they came for him out of sheer panic.

    While I ackn9wledge my partial ign9rance 9n the specific details of this particular ch99-ch99ing wheelbed c9llisi9n, as I was n9t present at the time 9f p9sting and have 9nly textual d9cumentati9n 9f the events that have transpired recently, I feel that there is s9me seri9us em9ti9nal and l9gical invalidati9n 9ccurring. I will address the main participants in 9rder t9 rectify the glaring issues of this discussi9n, which is 69rdering 9n pr96lematic if it has n9t already cr9ssed that line entirely.

    6ef9re I 6egin my mediation (n9t in the ashen way, to 6e clear. I am a very pr9ud celi6ate individual, and als9 w9uld never inv9lve tw9 n9n-c9nsenting individuals in a r9mantic relati9nship, c9nspicuent 9r n9t), I will discl9se my privileges and disprivileges, in 9rder t9 dem9nstrate that I have suffered much 9f the mistreatment I speak up a69ut, and am not appr9priating the experiences 9f the marginalized. I am an 9ff-spectrum cis6l99ded tr9ll, wh9 is tr9llian 69th 6i9l9gically and mentally. I am all9r9mantic in all quadrants 6ut have taken a pers9nal v9w 9f celi6acy. I am 6ef9ran, alth9ugh I have deeply studied and dissected the p9wer dynamics of Alternian culture and 6elieve myself educated en9ugh t9 speak 9n matters c9ncerning it. I am als9 a culling victim.

    If 69th 9f y9u c9uld als9 list y9ur privileges and disprivileges in an 9rganized fashi9n, that'd 6e great.

    @twofoldAbolitionist, while y9u are entitled t9 y9ur pers9nal 9pini9n and experience as a surviv9r 9f casteist 9ppressi9n, psi9nic expl9itment, and 9ther such atr9cities, that is n9 excuse t9 mistreat th9se wh9 l99k up t9 y9u as a r9le m9del. While, yes, the 69rderline o6jectificati9n is certainly a pr96lem and deserves several multipage essays 9n h9w it affects y9u and 9thers, y9u're derailing the imp9rtant disc9urse and frankly, muddying the waters, s9 t9 speak. As a figurehead 9f the Alternian l9w6l99d resistance (a n96le cause, if sh9rt-sighted and hyp9critical in many aspects), y9u have significant influence 9ver th9se wh9 respect y9ur p9litics and wish to help dismantle the pillars of instituti9nal hem9ism. It is a privilege us activists must c9nsider when interacting with th9se lesser-minded. A privilege that, while, 9f c9urse, is n9t a s9cietal privilege (seeing as the maj9rity 9f Alternian tr9lls are actively h9stile t9 any9ne with c9mm9n sense), is a privilege n9ntheless, and sh9uld be treated acc9rdingly.

    To expand up9n that c9ncept, while @vitrifiedVadelect was wr9ng in s9me aspects 9f their treatment 9f y9u, they were, in a sense, less wr9ng due t9 their lack 9f activist privilege. Tr9lls that are less imp9rtant t9 the 9verall field 9f activist w9rk sh9uld n9t 6e held t9 the same standards as th9se wh9 have pi9neered it and it is harmful t9 expect the same. Especially since they appear t9 revere y9u and their id9l w9rship c9uld very well 6e disrupting their a6ility t9 act appr9priately, assuming such an a6ility exists within them at all.

    H9wever, @vitrifiedVadelect, y9u treaded int9 the danger9us territ9ry 9f t9ne p9licing. While @twofoldAbolitionist was 6eing quite rude t9 y9u, y9u were pr9v9king him in an unwarranted manner that I assume stems fr9m y9ur lack 9f pr9per educati9n 9n s9cial interacti9n in a s9cial-justice-9riented space. @twofoldAbolitionist is entitled t9 his feelings and y9u sh9uld have criticized the way in which he was expressing th9se negative em9ti9ns, instead 9f implying that th9se negative em9ti9ns were inherently detrimental t9 his status as an activist. Em9ti9nal regulati9n is a skill which takes many sweeps 9f hard w9rk t9 master, and I 6elieve that he has n9t had much time t9 devel9p pr9per de6ate etiquette, due t9 his many sweeps of enslavement.

    In c9nclusi9n, y9u were 69th severely in the wr9ng, al6eit f9r c9mpletely justified reas9ns. H9wever, I h9pe that with time and an 9pen and engaging dial9gue, we can f9ster an understanding and p9ssi6ly kindle a w9nderful and lasting plat9nic relati9nship.

    @twofoldAbolitionist I'm afraid there's not very much I can do to help with the things you're going through, but you can have a hug from me, if you'd like.

    It's your choice as to whether or not you'd like to accept it.

    Excuse me, 6ut I d9 n9t 6elieve y9u have the auth9rity t9 tell tw9f9ldA6l9ti9nist what he can 9r cann9t d9. As a fully aut9n9m9us individual, he has the right t9 decide f9r himself whether he will c9nsider my arguments 9r n9t. I str9ngly suggest that he d9es, h9wever, in 9rder t9 w9rk t9wards m9re harm9ni9us interacti9ns with the mem6ers 9f this space.

    Because he's trying so terribly hard, it's charming. Almost more charming than if he were being sincere.

    I surprise myself with these utterances, but I am afraid the progressive veneer you apply to your words is nothing more than a fabrication. Your being is a walking contradiction. Your words are dripping with conviction, but in your own intelligence rather than the meaning behind them. I've come to detest the baleful who sit on a throne of self-perceived superiority and babble on about the need for change they do not actually strive for. Your bullets have no bite. You are a particularly irksome flavor of lazy and useless.

    You will fail to ever make a difference. Karma frowns upon beings such as yourself.

    At least the yellow one has come to terms with his lot in the will of causality. You are hopeless.

    *Annoyed by the condescending ranting, the clown attempts to sneak up on and pants the annoying grey thing. However, it has forgotten its clownish nature, and its shoes squeak incredibly noisily.

    Not that it particularly cares. The clown's gonna try to pants him regardless of whether or not the alien is able to hear the squeaking over the sound of its own voice, really.*

    I 6elieve we have a cultural misc9mmunicati9n here. I 9riginate fr9m the planet 6ef9rus, which is the peaceful precurs9r t9 the savage and 6ar6aric Alternia. While casteist 9ppressi9n manifests itself in 6rutal acts 9f extreme vi9lence and su6jugati9n 9n Alternia, 9n 6ef9rus it weaves itself int9 the fa6ric 9f s9ciety in a m9re su6tle and vastly m9re insidi9us way.

    While Alternian c9lder6l99ds are expected t9 keep the warmer hues in line thr9ugh fear, 6ef9rus rules itself 6y a superficial c9ncept 9f 'equality'. Yes, it is true that 9ff-spectrum and genetic variant tr9lls are free t9 express themselves with9ut dreading their death, 6ut tr9lls which d9 n9t c9nf9rm t9 a ridicul9usly high level 9f perfecti9n are treated as invalids. They are n9t permitted a lusus and are f9rci6ly assigned t9 a c9lder6l99d in 9rder t9 6e treated like a wiggler (9r in s9me dire cases, a pet) f9r their entire lives. This is kn9wn as the 6ef9ran versi9n 9f culling, and while technically less fatal than instant death, is a far w9rse fate.

    H9wever, I als9 happen t9 6e deceased, alth9ugh it is entirely unrelated t9 my status as a culling victim.

    I didn't tell Mituna what to do. I told him he was free to ignore you two. Which he is, as a fully autonomous individual.

    Also, I can't believe we own the same sweater and have the same astrological sign.
