    Look you can’t just post the human pet guy

    I’m not gonna pay attention to any of post’s actual content, because once I see the profile pic and the name I just immediately go “HOLY SHIT IT’S THE HUMAN PET GUY” and my brain just shuts the fuck off

      Could you fill me in on this?

      EDIT: No longer need filling in, in any context. I am full.

        Started out like “oh it’s just petplay fetish stuff” and I could see someone that is really into it being like “well why can’t I go outside, it’s not hurting anybody?” And then it just kept going down hill from there. With the volcel police’s juristiction was larger.

    I’ll be honest though I still don’t understand the term “chaser” as a pejorative, I’m sure there’s something I’m missing but in my mind I’m just thinking of a person who’s attracted to trans people (trans women for the most part)

      The main problems are as follows:

      1. Expecting trans women to let you live out your phallocentric misogynistic sex fantasies about “woman, but peepee?”
      2. Expecting trans women to let you live vicariously through them because you’re obviously repressing your own trans feelings
      3. Expecting trans women to be “easy” because their potential dating pool is tiny and they’re in prime position to be abused

      It’s obviously good to be attracted to trans people, but these are the types of behaviors that typify most actual chasers: very objectifying and harmful behavior. Even at its most innocuous, primarily dating trans women due to them being trans is obviously othering trans women from being “full” women.

    Honestly, “transfemininity enthusiast” doesn’t make me think “chaser”, it makes me think “transgender healthcare’s equivalent to Dr. House, who has also gone full-on Bone Wars with third-gender burial sites, regularly writes 300-page linguistics theses on neopronouns, and has a full library at home of books written by trans women, lavishly decorated with commissioned paintings by transfeminine artists depicting key figures and moments in transfeminist history — not because thon is a trans woman, nor because thon sexually fetishizes trans women, but literally just because transfemininity is thon’s decades-long (and surprisingly not creepy) hyperfixation”.

    And honestly, if that’s what “transfemininity enthusiast” meant, valid.

    Looks like they copped a ban at some point. All their tweets are gone but it looks like they might have been harassing @halomancer1 / Jenny Tighpants who I vaguely remember is trans and left or left-adjacent.

      For context this person isn’t actually a blahaj zone user, I was just making a joke comparing some of the weird chasers active in that instance to him.

      Cybersmith is a very odd person who's either been doing an incredibly extended bit for the last few years or is genuinely just this bizarre. This is the post that earned him the moniker "human pet guy"
      seriously, you'll regret reading this
      I've even cut off the worst bits and you'll still regret reading this
      this is an incredibly unchaste post but if you really want to read it it's here:

      The context of this is that I’ve had one chaser in my replies and DMs after making a single post on blahaj with my blahaj alt, and I had someone accuse me of be transphobic for saying I didn’t feel comfortable being in a space with chasers

        that was just unbelievable to watch unfold- I respect you for at least trying to be there in good faith and that behavior is completely unacceptable. It’s because of exactly that behavior that I’ve avoided those kinds of spaces and it’s been really disappointing to see it getting enabled by moderator inaction.

          Yeah when I read that message in the thread I just immediately closed blahaj because it was just so incredibly disengenuous that I didn’t want to continue engaging at all with it

                this has all been such a shitshow that i feel like i’ve said those exact words to you as well at some point in the past few days but if not the sentiment definitely applies to you too. i know you were really pulling for this to work out and i know you were like, personally involved in trying to make it so. just know your labors are appreciated. meow-hug

                  i wasnt particularly surprised that it went the way it did, lib trans folks always like splitting with the majority of the community. tbh im more surprised that Ada didnt snap and just go for a purge of chasers, its what i feel 95% of trans people would do. not banning obvious transphobes and just scolding them really is bewildering

      It would also really help if they

      CW: SA, transphobia, pedo shit

      did not open up conversations with lines like “dick or no dick”, would not DM underage users on trans subreddits and act offended when they tewll them “bro, i’m literally 15”, and would not say it’s “not transphobic” to post your list of body traits you do not like in trans men to a trans meme sub. Chasers are the fucking worst, i genuinely hate these people more than i hate other transphobes. At least JKR never sexually harassed me.

        But are you fetishizing them for being men or just attracted to them and fetishizing them dressing sexy-like?
