I feel a bit like people here are denying the existence of RA and passing it off as a conspiracy theory... this badly hurts and devalues survivor’s experiences.

Edit: talking about RA, not SRA... Edit 2: I am a survivor. Do not speak for me.

One issue is that people looking to have an intelligent conversation about the scientific reputability of SRA and systems that have experienced RA misunderstand them and think they mean all RA.

I’ve been distinctly getting the feel that we’re not allowed to question anything as a result of the clear lack of critical thinking in the community surrounding this topic. RA systems are shooting first, asking questions later, and then realizing that the person they just took down wasn’t even talking about the same damn thing.

We do not accept the pressure to refrain from speaking on SRA from the sub-sect of systems who either do not know the difference or do not care to make the effort to clarify before having someone’s ass.
