I’m not going anywhere hunnie. It’s a heated topic but you didn’t say anything out of anger or vengeance and everyone has a right to their own beliefs and thoughts.

You’re an amazing friend and I’ll never abandon you :) if you need anything please smail me :)

dude, I totally know where you were coming from, especially since you're one of my closest friends on here. even in that post, I read it as you clarifying consistency in the bible, there is nothing in that post that would be explicitly hateful. I will always be your friend, forever and ever, ilu.

Hi, my dear. I don't want to meddle into this matter because I already know how much drama it caused -- and drama is no good for anyone's health.

BUT

I have a good memory and... how could I possible forget? When it was my turn to face judgement on SS, I remember very clearly that you never judged me. Far from that. You were supportive and listened to my venting. And I'm very grateful for that, because I was really hurt and I needed a friendly ear.

That being said, if you need someone to vent with... I'm here. Or just someone to stand quietly by your side while half of the community throw stones on you... you know where you can find me. Right here.

You're a great human being and your true friends know it. We love you. Be strong! ❤

I have no idea what happened tbh so I'll pretend nothing happened?

I had absolutely no idea what you were talking about when I first read your post, so I went to SS to check out what happened...and you know what? I didn't think what you said was offensive at all. You provided your perspective on the matter, and I think you stated your opinion well in that you didn't sound negative, hateful, or judgmental. You just sounded fair in explaining something. And, although I don't know you on a personal level, I know you enough to know that you're not someone who would be hateful or wish ill will towards others like that.

It's really nice and considerate of you to explain yourself here, and I hope that anyone who was offended or put off by what you said will understand that you didn't mean any harm. And really, you explaining yourself here just goes to show how sweet, caring, and compassionate of a person you really are. <3

So, don't worry too much about it; it'll blow over sooner or later anyway. Plus, your friends know you for who you are, and I'm sure they've all got your back no matter what. :)

SS is garbage. Your life will be so much better without looking at whatever dramatic bullshit that blog puts forth. I don't know you as well as most but every interaction I've had with you has been pleasant and lovely. People can have their own beliefs and opinions and no one needs a blog to tell them how to navigate relationships with people. Hold your head up. You are your own person and can be anyone you wanna be and I think you're rad. :)

(sorry this was creeping on my feed and I felt the need to say you rock)

I dunno whats going on but youre a precious pie.

I legit have no idea what happened and tbh I doubt it's going to affect me.

I know we're not like talk-everyday, omg besties. But I adore you and I consider you a good friend. You have my support and friendship for as long as you wish it. <3

I loves you. <3

I don't really know what's happened since I try to avoid SS like the plague. It's too toxic a place for me. But even if I'd seen your post in person I doubt it would have affected my view of you. You have always been such a sweet person in my eyes and that won't change anytime soon ❤

Oh god just AVOID SS at all costs buddy! Things escalate like crazyyyy over there and you sometimes get attacked for no reason. raises hand for having had that happen to her in the past x__x pat pat We all love you still and you're the bestest! <3 hugs

I know we don't talk and I'm actually not following SS but went to see out of pure curiosity lol and I actually commend you for posting the very factual and neutral sounding post that you did

understanding comes not from attacking the other side but from examining why they are saying what they are saying and by examining their subject in greater detail

it doesn't take a genius to figure out that the world is becoming more extreme with its views on both sides due to the internet and social media like tumblr which is not helping anyone

not saying people should accept other people's viewpoints as doctrine or whatever but a little more tolerance all around would be nicer and frankly if you're getting crap for your very explanatory post then that makes me upset that people are conflating you with the actual problem and I'd rather they just ignore/block me too

I have been on vacation for the last week and have no idea what is happening and why you are apologizing. You are one of the sweetest people I know here. You're all good with me ^_^v I hope you're feeling okay. I hate to see you sad or depressed. Don't let people get you down or bully you into believing certain things or acting a certain way. No need to be sorry about being you <3

Wow, so many voices here that I want to just quote and say I full heartedly agree with. SS is a horrible drama platform and I have noticed a lot of negativity coming form things like SS. I avoid it at all costs because it is not healthy to be bombarded with that much pointless drama and misery, not when it is all avoidable. I was also attacked on SS for something I didn't do, had no control over, and was simply unaware of! Ursa, we haven't talked and are not besties (I'm pretty sure you're only vaguely aware of my existence, but I'm not offended! lol). However, I do know you as a caring person. I know from my interactions with you and those whom you are friends with (because we all pick friends who are like us really) that you are a genuine person who would never purposefully hurt someone. In fact I would venture to say that if you saw someone suffering you would do what you could to help alleviate their suffering.

I tend to look at the best in people so I may be way off but I don't think I am. I would like to uplift your spirits and help you see that you are truly awesome and valuable. More importantly, it is all of our own individual perspectives and opinions that are valuable. If we all conformed to the loudest voice, then society would never evolve and everything would be really really boring (and terrifying). Everyone's voice matters always. ❤️❤️❤️

I would like to quote my favorite Vulcan here: "Live long and prosper." ^.^

I didn't know what happened but I went to read your post on SS and I saw it as very educational and my view of u hasn't changed one bit I still think you're like the sweetest person and ilu and admire you alot even tho we don't talk that much!! I hope you are not too dissuaded by all the stuff thats going on and know that many peeps here still support u! <3 <3

I don't buy into the stuff said on SS...any interaction with you that I have had has been pleasant and you've always been an absolute dear, my opinion of you isn't going to change because of anything on that site... <3

but bab why would my view of you change as a person when i already knew you were religious and you were only making statements based on...facts

Honey, nothing on SS is going to change my opinion of you. You're one of the most amazing people I've ever met. AND I CAN PROUDLY SAY THAT, EVEN WHILE BEING BISEXUAL. So ANYONE who thinks that you're trying to discriminate, or be hurtful, is just plain ignorant. It's done, it's over with, and I know it's easier said than done, but just try to forget about the garbage on SS.

And if someone has a problem with me calling that crap on SS garbage, you can come and tell me straight up instead of hiding behind an anonymous post.

I love that everyone likes to throw around that everyone has a right to their own opinion, beliefs, freedom of speech, etc, but regardless of which side you stand on -- suddenly the opposite side no longer has that right. Or they only have those rights in certain places, and not in others.

Yes, Subeta openly accepts -- and supports -- LBGQT+, and that's wonderful. But where in the TOS does it state if you're homophobic, or don't support said community, that you need to GTFO and can't enjoy the site equally?

I am not trying to defend any one person in this. I read about three pages of SS before I began to physically and mentally feel ill. I read something about another user's profile that was wiped, and they were given a warning. From the sound of it, there were some harsh comments regarding the LBGQT+ community, and was heavily religious. Yes, the harmful comments should be removed, and the member warned, because that DOES violate TOS. But people are saying that that member should just leave Subeta... why? They've been reprimanded. If they continue despite being punished, they will be punished again, and continue to do so until they earn themselves a frozen account. But if that user were to take down the hurtful comments, but still have a religious profile, and still go on enjoying Subeta, who are we to tell them they have to GTFO?

I'm sure I've ruffled some feather by saying what I have, but I really don't care. I wasn't present for the situation at hand. All I have is random posts to go off of. But I'm part of the LBGQT+ community, myself, and this is where I stand. We want acceptance from everyone, and preach how hate isn't the answer on how to approach these problems, but then turn around and harshly bash other users who don't share our same feelings. In this situation, we're no better.

Ursa, my dear friend, I adore you and I always will. Thank you for being you. I want nothing less from you.

If you ever need to talk, my sMail and profile comments are always open to you. <3

I know we don't know each other and my only interaction with you has been to slot on a few CWs of yours in the past, but I did get pinged and read your concerns in your post. I didn't even know SS existed until today, but I read some of what was said, and I don't think you said anything at all that would cause anyone to be upset with you. I can understand why you would be worried or concerned though, given the topic discussed and how controversial it is these days, but in my opinion everyone has the right to express their beliefs and opinions in a respectful way, which you did! And the fact that you're so concerned about the possible repercussions of losing friends over it just shows how caring and sincere of a person you are. Don't let this get you down! I read all the posts above and agree 100%. You have tons of support ^^

Hi, I'm sorry that this is super rushed and all but I figured a ping on a public forum might give you less anxiety than a private message out of nowhere. ;;

I'm really shy about stuff so I'd prefer to discuss stuff in private (don't worry, it's nothing bad... I just worry about things especially with all the negativity on SS, which I only really read for the rare non-drama post.)

I really hope this entire debacle didn't stress you out a lot - the Internet isn't supposed to be a place that infuriates people, so I personally avoid a lot of topics and sites that I feel might just make me feel negative. :(

If I am less busy in the coming days (though I'm on duty tomorrow huhuhuhu) I'll send you a private message. I'm faster to reach off-site, really, but I understand if you'd prefer to only talk with me here!

Don’t know what went down but I know you as a kind person and have never known you to say an unkind word here. Continues to support you and we are here for you. This too shall pass.
