i am really truly very sorry. the miscommunication is on my end, didnt take the time to be clear enough in words so you could follow along about the point i was making. i saw the tiny video clip telluride shared. they wrote: When things don't make sense with people's behavior, consider this. you wrote: Pretty sure this is happening to anyone who's anyone i wrote: no it isnt what i mean is: i refuse to believe anyone who has a big following is in a hostage blackmail situation and that's why shit is like this. as in: i am not giving anyone with a huge following the benefit of the doubt until works cited proving otherwise because i believe in people ~more~ than telluride and you i believe, on balance of scales, way more people since 2020 would refuse to be blackmailed. my riff was saying: even if you are someone who likes to keep your sexual life private, in the scenario of actually being blackmailed about something sexually humiliating, i dont think people would be pussies, and optimistically, as further proof and incentive to not be a pussy, the furries and sex positive people would have your back and we all know that. so literally truly sincerely: who would let themselves be blackmailed
