Well put.

"Hatred (or hate) is a deep and emotional extreme dislike. It can be directed against individuals, groups, entities, objects, or ideas. Hatred is often associated with feelings of anger, disgust and a disposition towards hostility."

-- Wikipedia (Hatred)

It is alright until you get to the three last words. Disposition towards hostility. Things tend to go downhill from there, especially with large groups of people. People get dragged into all kinds of spats, some see no problem with doxxing, spreading outright lies, continuous flow of ad hominem and other logic errors, ... The a few actually good people tend to leave quietly as time passes, and what is left is toxic wasteland of bigotry.

Is that why the original comment got deleted for going against the narrative and pointing out the blatant bias? If you've kept up with modleaks, you'd realize srs and srd are the real "toxic" communities, which relish their identities of hate, and wheel and deal behind the scenes to spread this ideology.

TiA is a sub for people who deal with this stuff in real life and would like to meet and chat with people who aren't crazy. They have strict rules about not getting involved.

Unless you can show me examples of TiA doxxing or harassing. I have not seen it.

Seen plenty of "justified" outrage from the SRS/SRD crowd, who think they're "punching up" because of dumb simplifications like "privilege is power + oppression".

TiADiscussion can be a reasonable place, at times (so can SRSDiscussion). But tumblrinaction itself spends 100% of its time mocking people, often hatefully. That's toxic.
