#I hate purity culture

[darklinaforever]

Repeat after me !

Love is not synonymous with purity, holy and morally good. Love can be twisted, selfish, unhealthy and toxic.

Justice for the romances like Catherine & Heathcliff, or Coriolanus Snow & Lucy Gray !

Fandom Puriteens

THIS IS ABOUT FICTIONAL CONTENT MADE IN FANDOM NOT REAL LIFE NOT PUBLISHED LITERATURE (though maybe you all should go fucking read an actual book, maybe 1984 or Brave New World or Animal Farm, and take a class on media literacy)

For every one of you #triggered by dark/explicit content in fics I need you to understand and respect a few things here. I know it's hard for you. I know it's difficult to get out of your own #purelife #tradwife #everclearmind bullshit, but for Christ's sake sit your pansy ass down and listen to me right now.

You control yourself, not other people.

Dark content won't cause the universe to implode or society to collapse.

Outlawing dark content doesn't stop people from writing dark content. It doesn't stop people from making dark content art.

Imprisoning/killing people doesn't stop any of the things you're pearl clutching about. It makes new dark content for us to explore.

What the hell are you doing at the devil's sacrament? We warned you.

"But the childr-" See fucking point number fucking one. YOU CONTROL YOURSELF. IF YOU ARE A CHILD: Going behind your parents' backs and disobeying the boundaries they have set for you is the fastest way to get yourself into serious danger! Turn around, do not pass go, go tell your parents what you've done and fucking stay out of adult only spaces. The ADULT ONLY is the boundary!!

Outlawing ADULT ONLY doesn't fix anything. See points 3 and 4.

FUCKING HELL I HAVE BEEN THROUGH MULTIPLE LEVELS OF BULLSHITRY AND HELL AND I'M SICK OF THE PURITEENS AND MORALITY POLICE SAYING I'M NOT ALLOWED TO EXPLORE THAT IN FIC.

Because it gives them the "ewwies". BOO HOO. "BUT AIRLOCK, I'VE BEEN THROUGH BULLSHITRY HELL AND I'M DISGUSTED" Shh

Sit down. Here's tissues, a blanket, and cocoa. See point number 5. Really though, tags man, why are you here? You knew going in this would upset you.

8

You are not a saint just because you shit on the already dirty and rotten.

They will come for you. Eventually.

"But I never-"

Eventually.

Eventually you will also be too impure.

This is how it always goes.

You become the thought/MORALITY police of your peers. The HOA of sin. Your friend beebeebee or whatever gets banned for posting a sketch of Blorbo 9000 biting their lip. Five years later beebeebee is arrested IRL for kissing their gender non-conforming partner in public. You think "no way, kissing???" Bitch, you get arrested a day later for owning a vibrator. Siri reported your purchase. "But I only have this cheap vibrator to clear out my sinuses!!!! I'm not dirty!!!" No one cares, sweet cheeks. Literally no one cares because everyone knows the sick fucks like you are liars and freaks.

And your pure, pearl clutching government of perfect virgin mindhood MURDERED everyone who might have stood up for you.

For fuck's sake, at this rate, we're not going to be able to talk to our therapists about the trauma we've been through because we might "corrupt the therapist's #puremind" and traumatize them.

DEAR FUCKING GOD

Keep your children out of adult only spaces, and control your fucking self. You are the problem. YOU.

every time queer discourse surges on this site everyone is so quick to jump to “it was actually the evil lesbians who divided us” because y’all heard the term “political lesbian” and never bothered to figure out what that meant

#‘political lesbians’ were and are predominantly STRAIGHT WOMEN #and a good chunk are bi #what don’t you understand about these women thinking lesbianism is a CHOICE? that it’s only used by women as a reaction to the patriarchy? #like lesbians can’t possibly like women and not men for any reason that isn’t some deep-seated hatred for men? #they all think lesbianism is dirty and impure and here you people are saying that this is PROGRESSIVE #and that they actually think that lesbianism is some golden standard for its purity???? you guys are so fucking stupid oh my god #you go on and on about learning your queer history until it comes to lesbians and then you’re perfectly happy rewriting our culture #and narrative #wtf is wrong with you people #and y’all braindead mfs use this to act like men are actually oppressed by the meanie dykes #i hate y’all #but none of y’all actually give a shit about lesbians so i guess im yelling into a void #lesbophobia #top posts #neon talks #LOL at the fucking idiot who reblogged this and tagged it ‘misandry’ not sure how you got that from my post but i hope your day sucks <3

[toytulini]

listen im ace and im pro kink at pride and whatever, but the way some of yall are wording your posts in response to the backlash against it is uh. really taking me back to the ace shitcourse era.

yall know theres nothing wrong with being a "virgin", right? that its not inherently shameful to have not had sex, to never have sex, even if youre not ace, even if you do want to have sex someday, like, its fine that you haven't had sex?

maybe if your problem is that theyre trying to police your behavior and shame you for expressing your sexuality, you can say that? instead of resorting to "haha stupid virgin gets no bitches" like my god. do you not hear how fucking regressive that attitude is? i know, i know, youre "joking".

get a better joke

[penaltyboxboxbox]

the annoying fandom post is so funny like. as someone who used to be active in like a lot more classical and big name fandoms. the shit that happens here is so much less annoying to me than any of that ever was........

#i feel like. in rpf fandoms we dont.....have the same horrible purity culture of fictional fandoms #like here i have never encountered things like blocklists over liking a fictional character #or a weird ship or something... #stress about liking the media the correct way yk.. #like we have different drama but it is the same drama that is always #borne from Sports Rivalries so i find it much less annoying. idk. #like yeah people will hate you and block you for supporting a driver sometimes #but like. idk. that feels so much more substantial than causing shitstorm over....liking a character in a tv show #who literally doesnt exist 😭 #i also just find rpf fandoms generally to be MUCH less judgemental by just their nature of being one of the outcast parts of fandom

[astronomodome]

#idk if this makes sense but like #generally this is my stance on The Issues #a lot of purity culture in fandom spaces is based on this idea of like. if i don't like this thing it's Morally Wrong for these reasons #and i'm justified in hating on it instead of just letting other people have their own opinions and interpretations #i see a lot of this in the life series fandom specifically and it bothers me a lot #enjoy what you enjoy. other people will enjoy things too. it doesn't matter if it's 'incorrect' who cares honestly #anyway that's my 3am rant for tonight. chillax #astro speaks

AITA If My Favorite Character is a Fascist?

Uh oh. The Fascsplainers are at it again. Yes, we know what fascism is, thx.

#help my favorite characters are fascists #empire bad #chiss ascendancy bad #I'm too damn old for lectures about the nature of good and evil #or about what is *more* canon #like seriously? #Star Wars needs to get over its obsession with canon anyway #though I tend to go with what the author who created the character thinks #even if I like the TV show #(no comment on the LA show lol) #the age-old arguments about canonicity never helped music art or literature either #so let's just sit back and enjoy what we enjoy #and get over this whole purity culture thing #in any case it's fiction and necessarily *up to interpretation* #good evil morally gray? I don't really care #because it's FICTION #people like what they like #look I hate reylo too but let people have their fun #so they can take a break from the hopeless dumpster fire that is the real world #lol honestly I didn't even know there *was* an anti-thrawn tag until today #thrawn #as soon as the word “fascism” came up we knew this was going to be about Thrawn #canonically bad thrawn #tell me you've never read the thrawn books without telling me you've never read them #he's a bad man #AND a fascist #just here to remind you #PSA

Treating fictional stories as some kind of moral compass is generally not the great idea some people might think it is.

You really shouldn’t expect every single story to depict every single relationship in a morally correct way. Sometimes, authors are going to romanticize a relationship that would be seen as wrong and/or immoral in real life and you know what? That’s fine. Because the point of fiction isn’t always to tell you exactly what’s right and wrong. Sometimes that might be the point of a fictional story but a lot of the time it’s up to you, as the consumer of whatever content, to make up your own opinion about the content you come in contact with. 

Dark fictional stories always has and always will exist. There will always be fiction that deals with things you don’t agree with and you know what? It’s up to you, the person consuming said content, to decide what kind of content you like and can deal with in a healthy manner. 

And if you don’t like it or agree with it? Please, for the love of god, stop consuming the content that’s making you upset. I swear, you will be so much happier if you dedicate your time to the things you actually enjoy.

Also, don’t harass people for enjoying fiction you might not agree with because I don’t know about you but I personally think that sending real life, actual, people death threats and harassing them will always be way worse than any fictional stories one might be able to consume.

#this is probably incoherent as fuck but idc #i'd prefer no discourse but who fucking knows where this will end up #it probably won't go anywhere honestly #anyway #i'm not gonna respond to any hate or harassment #you're entitled to your opinion and i'm entitled to mine #idek how to tag this #fiction #purity culture #anti purity culture #i suppose #fandom #proship #anti anti

Wizarding Blood-Purity is a Sham

I think that a lot of people forget that Salazar Slytherin wasn't racist.

And no, before you go all crazy on me just remember in the second book, when fear and anger and all kinds of emotions were running wild and everyone distrusted Slytherin House, students asked a teacher about what happened. And that teacher, a ghost who for all we know could have been there when it actually happened, gave an honest answer.

"Slytherin wished to be more selective about the students admitted to Hogwarts. He believed that magical learning should be kept within all-magic families. He disliked taking students of Muggle parentage, believing them to be untrustworthy."

Look at the language. Look at it, and understand that Salazar didn't see Muggle-borns as inferior, as worse. He saw them as untrustworthy.

Why, you ask? Well Professor Binns answers that as well!

"[The founders] built this castle together, far from prying Muggle eyes, for it was an age when magic was feared by common people, and witches and wizard suffered much persecution."

Salazar didn't like Muggles because they were hunting his family, his people, and persecuting them with horrific violence. He didn't trust Muggle-borns because how could he know that they wouldn't betray the magical world and tell their families that the kid two villages over practices magic with him on Tuesdays?

And yes, witches and wizards had ways to make it look like they burned at the stake when they actually survived, such as the Flame-Freezing Charm. But young children, with little control over their magic? If they were caught or exposed, well, it probably wouldn't end well for them.

Plus, wizardkind is outnumbered by Muggles, by a huge amount. If a village of Muggles who hated and feared magic discovered that a family of wizards and witches was among them, the parents would be burdened with trying to flee from a few hundred people while protecting their kids (who can't control their magic).

Salazar Slytherin didn't like Muggles or Muggle-borns. He hated them and feared them, not because they were inferior, but because they were dangerous. And while murdering children with a giant snake is not a good way to solve this danger to his family, people, and culture, it HAS to be seen that his actions were born not from arrogance, but from fear.

And there were Slytherins who knew this, long before Muggles had become so othered from wizarding society that some families started to believe that Muggles were inferior to those with "pure blood." Like Merlin, Prince of Enchanters, arguably the greatest wizard of all time, who founded the Order of Merlin to protect and aid Muggles, whose name has become synonymous with Muggle rights activisim. Merlin, a Slytherin.

If Salazar Slytherin was alive in the 20th century, he would laugh at the idea that Muggles were inferior. He would be the first to point out that Lily Evans and Hermione Granger, the brightest witches of their age, were Muggle-born. He would scorn the idea that pure-bloods were better, saying if that's true, why is Draco Malfoy, a pure-blood, second to a Muggle-born?

Salazar had questionable morals, to be sure (anyone who doesn't think so can re-read the Chamber of Secrets, where he hid a giant snake in a school full of children to murder the ones he deemed dangerous). But he never, never once thought that Muggles were inferior to wizards.

#I just hate it when people think that Slytherin thought Muggles were inferior #because he didn't #he thought they were dangerous and it is so #blood purity was made up by aristocrats who wanted to set themselves apart #blood purity is NOT an inherent Slytherin thing #hogwarts #slytherin #salazar slytherin #pureblood society #pureblood culture #muggleborn #hermione granger #draco malfoy #lily evans #harry potter #lily potter #lily evans potter #slytherin pride #slytherin problems #wizarding society #wizarding world #wizarding schools #hogwarts houses

The way some people on this site talk about morality in storytelling I’m starting to think you aren’t teenagers at all and are in fact three William H. Hays’s stacked in a trenchcoat

I "love" this discussion around zoomers' media preferences. It's just:

"Oh no, zoomers don't want to see sex on screen! Why is this generation so anti-sex and puritanical! They only want to watch Heartstopper, these tenderqueers and puriteens! Why aren't the young people fucking and reproducing more!"

But also

"Why is Young Adult fiction full of depravity! Sarah J. Maas and Colleen Hoover are ruining art with their stupid sexy tropes!! It's not healthy that BookTok teen girls are so obsessed with "spice"! Maybe these people should read some real books! These yaoi fujoshi gooners are not beating the porn addiction allegations."

Yeah, it's pretty hard to take this seriously guys.

#it's just the same “we hate young people” bs again. #hmm I wonder what might have happened in 2020 that prevented young people from seeing each other irl hmmmmmm #discourse #purity culture #purity wank #fandom wank #sarasadetext

You know, for the game that originally blew up because of the wild shaped druid bear sex scene, the creative team behind bg3 has some… interesting attitudes towards sex.

Like, why is it that the most explicit sex scene in the game requires you to align with religious fanatics to carry out a massacre? Why are all the evil-aligned characters willing to have sex right away, when all the more neutral and good-aligned characters wait until acts 2 and 3 to put out? Why did the creators think it was necessary to say that one of the darker romance routes was done to teach players a lesson about the consequences of *checks notes* being horny? If I wanted to “learn” that acting on attraction is “bad”, I’d go to church.

I love this game, but all I’m saying is that for a piece of fiction with a reputation for being very sex-positive, and having a lot to say about the nuances of consent and relationships, there are definitely some biases here.

ah, what an interesting video about hating on [80s rockstar] you have posted here, gen z tiktok user. did the virtue signaling feel good babe? was the harassment of [80s rockstar] fans fun? did the validation you got fill the void in your soul

#i get glimpses of hair metal tiktok through a mutual and im just. #gurl you hate on axl rose but watch pam and tommy #and yknow i would get it if these ppl just disliked hair metal and the like in general. still doesnt excuse the wank but at least #there is no hypocrisy here #but the majority of haters are also fans of different bands and i just. gurl. they all suck #some more some less but you will find incriminating material on 99% of them #you either dont support the entire genre or take off your puritan dress and show everyone you are wearing assless chaps like the rest of us #there is no completely unproblematic pieces of media as well as creators. learn for yourself how much youre willing to excuse #and enjoy your fave music without constantly justifying yourself #where do these people get the energy for hate. give it to me i will put it to good use #hair metal #arnold's diary #80s rock #purity culture

good things about love never dies:

• the phantom and christine real (fanservice)

• the phantom being a mopey whiny baby (his beautiful and true essence)

• the phantom having a weird son he can project on (makes him sadder and wetter)

• meg jealousy arc (i like that trope)

• honestly …. most of the songs (i’m easy to please)

• fuckfest: the musical (i was a horny teenager when i heard this the first time) (they went ALL NITE LONG)

• devil take the hindmost specifically (homosexuality)

• this part of devil take the hindmost specifically (funny):

• coney island setting (NEW YORK FREAKIN CITY BABY)

bad things about love never dies:

• vaudeville (booooooo)

• meg having to sell her body to fund the entirety of phantasma ? (come on now)

• the fact that the phantom couldn’t do anything apparently without the girys (alw is This your multifaceted genius. come on now)

• meg being convinced the only way to achieve peace in her life is by killing a ten year old boy (come on now)

• meg isn’t a lesbian (COME ON NOW)

• raoul being an abusive alcoholic (come on now)

neutral yet nevertheless important thing about love never dies:

• “i got divorced and i’m really sad about it” dude media

#love never dies #phantom of the opera #in summary: MEG GIRY GET BEHIND ME #i don’t say i have guilty pleasures because i’m breaking the chains of purity culture but if i have one guilty pleasure it’s this #because it’s objectively So Bad and So Poorly Written. and yet ….. #so many compelling elements to me personally. i can’t stay away #one thing about me is i hate trauma for traumas sake. and this has such a high concentration of it. god it’s so bad #i think this sums up my thoughts. hope to never post about this again but you never know

[fullsaw]

Say it with me now,

YOU DONT HAVE TO JUSTIFY A CHARACTERS ACTIONS TO LIKE THEM

#i hate this strain of fandom purity culture #people are so fast to come up with a tragic backstory for an antagonist so they can claim theyre “just as innocent as the protagonist” #let characters be assholes!! #i think people should still blorbofy and babygirlify characters but embrace the fact they are low key evil #the saw fandom accepts that john kramer is an ego maniac and doesnt try to justify his actions and its SO FUN #hes just this old man who thinks he has the right to dictate who lives and dies and he FULLY BELIEVES THIS #and people love him
