Ugh, i totally get the shitty long-reach influence exclusionism can have, even within safer queer spaces.
I'm having an issue right now with other spanish-speaking online ace activists because they tend to spend a lot of time fending off both haters and ace elitists on their outreach projects, and as a result, tend to be constantly on the defensive when in social media. And i always forget that, and thus sometimes make some casual critique without making sure to first thank them and let them know i think their work is valuable and this is not a personal attack-
It sucks, for everyone involved, is what i'm trying to say. I want to be able to connect with other ace and queer activists and organizers, but this whole context of online antagonism is just so uuuugggggghhhhhh.
