The way they are approaching the subject should be suspicious to everyone. They have essentially made the mute list their entire life and there have been way to many cases where someone puts this much time and effort into fighting against something only for it to be discovered that they themselves are that thing. They really do spend way more time thinking about zoophilia than open zoophiles, and that should concern anyone using the list. It honestly feels like a distraction so no one looks at THEM too closely because they're doing some extremely horrifying things.

This has partially already happened in that they've been called out for feeling it important and necessary to link to kiwifarms for some of their "evidence" at one point. I don't care if they know for a fact that the original evidence was real, using that as a source is inherently vile and suspicious because they are known for inventing evidence whenever they want to attack someone. How would you even know KF has that evidence? As far as I know that evidence is still being used, the source was just obscured by downloading it and uploading it somewhere else. There's also the fact that they claim that "simply following or occasionally interacting with someone who's been accused of being a zoophile is not enough to be put on this list," but going through the list it's clear that's not even remotely true. There are a number of people on the list following hundreds of people, which happen to include only 1 or 2 suspected(not even open) zoos, how can that possibly fit the criteria? I happen to also know there are people on the list that are not zoophiles, do not actually support zoophiles, but have asked questions meant to get people actually thinking about WHY they think zoophilia is bad instead of the word vomit we tend to see.

Yes, if you're in any way open about being a zoo or actively interact with the zoo community, you are going to be added to the list sooner rather than later, it IS inevitable. The GOOD news is that it ends up working both ways. There is only 1 group of people using the list, the people that blindly block people because someone somewhere says they're bad. They're really not the kind of people you want to interact with in the first place, and they're taking themselves out of any position to harass you. I've been on the list for almost as long as my account has been around and I've never had an anti approach me in any capacity, and if they did in any kind of threatening way I'd have just as much power to report and block them.

The best advice I can give is not to worry about being on the list because that's their true goal. They honestly believe that simply putting us on a list can somehow completely de-platform us, but it doesn't come close. You being too afraid to interact is exactly what they want. Don't let yourself be silenced by fear because anyone interested in a genuine conversation with you won't care about the list anyway.

I know it can be scary. I'm here on an alternate account using an alias completely unrelated to me. There have been a few things I've avoided saying because I'm terrified of linking this alias to closely to who I am. But I'm still here, speaking my mind. I believe that research is on OUR side, we just need to get the data out there and for enough people to listen. The people using the list would never listen anyway, so there's no point worrying about them.
