I enjoy fantasy books, but I've always struggled with the world-building because it's hard for me to wrap my brain around systems (magical, biological, etc.) that we don't experience in our reality. That led me to wondering, if our lives took place in a fantasy world, what aspects would the readers find weird or unrealistic? For me, it's gotta be toilets. Like, wdym we have special rooms with a bowl to dump our waste in? I think I'd find that crazy if it wasn't a normal part of our lives haha

I’m just looking for more people to follow who hold this belief. I recently made a comment on here on a quest that we as a community shouldn’t platform HP because of the harm JKR is doing to trans people like me and I’m being called a book burner for this when I never called for book burning. JKR enacts politically violence and has assaulted a trans woman (took upskirt photos of this woman) and I’m tired of being told I’m a book burner when I ask people not to platform for that. Her money she earns from HP is being used to hurt trans people like me. I just need other people to follow on here with the same beliefs because I’m tired and feeling ostracized in the book community for believing Trans lives matter more than a stupid book

When you block someone, is it possible for them to block you back? I was reevaluating my block list because I wanted to see if I felt the same or not. But for some weird reason a few of them showed up as unavailable to me in my own block list. I can only assume they were able to block me back but it's unsettling to know they had access to my profile. From what I understand my profile should show up as unavailable. So how are they able to block me after that?

If anyone has any ideas for this, please let me know 🙏

Update: with permission from another user, we tested if there was a workaround for someone to block you after you block them and there shouldn't be. I saw profile unavailable both on the app and web version. But somehow someone was able to do this with me and I'm not sure how to get this issue over to the founders. If there was no way for someone to find me after I block them, then there's some issue still there. It's just way too uncomfortable for me to know.

edit: to make it clear, I have no issue with someone blocking me after I block them but only if that is actually possible. that is why I am asking how blocking really works here. because from what I understand Person A will block Person B. Person B should not be able to get on Person A's profile. From what little I know, the only way to block someone is if that person goes to an account's profile. How is it possible that a few people found this workaround? if the app and web version has fixed this problem, why am I experiencing it when I've kept those accounts blocked the entire time? yes they can see if I exist but they shouldn't be able to view my profile. please don't get this misinterpreted that I don't like people putting the same boundary up I put with them. I would understand if there's a boundary that someone needs to make. and I would love a block back feature so the person who blocked me can't get on my profile when they feel like it. if there was an actual block back feature, this post wouldn't have been made. if there's another way blocking can occur even if they don't get access to my profile, then please let me know. that will ease my mind. I asked this question because I wanted to understand how blocking works not because I was against others blocking me. everyone has that right and i'm not arguing about that. if you are misunderstanding, please take the time to reread what I wrote. if you are still misunderstanding or not agreeing, then feel free not to engage or ignore or block me as well! : ) there's no hard feelings because I also understand the need for that boundary. i dont want to overexplain this, so I will not interact with this post but will leave it up if anyone can answer my original question. thanks!
