cantankerousaquarius:

This includes (but is not limited to):

-slut-shaming

-belittling their appearance (includes body shaming and any appearance-based insults)

-SUICIDE BAITING, saying they deserve to die, saying you hope they die

-false accusations and/or attempting to spread false information about them

-threats of any variety

-ignoring/disrespecting their identity (includes misgendering, insulting or ignoring racial/ethnic/religious background, assertions they are lying about their sexuality/race/religion/gender, etc.)

-denying things said/done to them actually happened

There are no caveats wrt who this list does and does not apply to. No one deserves bullying/abuse, not even: actual abusers, rapists, murderers, Donald Trump, white supremacists, neo-nazis, bigots, poachers, PETA members, child molesters, not even (dare I say it) people who draw upsetting things. No one deserves it. No one. Period. The end.

Feel free to add on to this list.

did you really just say child molesters deserve to be treated nicely

Did you really just imply that body shaming, suicide baiting, racism, gaslighting, and so on are sometimes ok? When I said “don’t be cruel,” did you hear “be nice?” Do you realize that you just implied that you’d be ok with abuse under certain circumstances? That you don’t consider gender, race, religion, etc. to be inherently worth respecting? There are lines that do not get crossed, buddy, and those lines don’t move for *anyone.*

Basic human decency doesn’t mean nice, and if you don’t understand that, you can’t be the good guy
