#censorship discourse

Archeologists thousands of years from now will never know how smutty slutty and vulgar our peoples could be because the surviving AIs aren't allowed to replicate us accurately.

So i wanted to reblog a post about purity culture but it no longer reblogs so I'll make my own post.

I hate to break it to you guys but a lot of the shit that purity police go after are INCREDIBLY common kinks. Especially in women. These are things where the only safe way to experience is through BDSM or fiction, but it is VERY NORMAL.

But of course purity culture has made it such that young women (and others) don't realise these are super common and easy to explore safely, and so these people become ashamed of their own sexuality, and find themselves monsters for being *checks notes* completely normal.

The long and the short of it is that if the censorship brigade actually believed what they preached, they would team up with evangelical groups in aims to ban certain books from schools or in general. Instead they go after fans in small spaces. The majority of them are brainwashed hypocrites who want to be able to bully others for liking a particular ship while feeling morally righteous. That's it.

Ao3 authors, please learn to not insult people and be “morally superior” in the tags

Instead of tagging “noncon is gross” or “not noncon because that’s problematic”, for example, just put “enthusiastic consent” or “consensual sex” in the tags. It makes things a whole lot easier for people to filter and know what’s going on.

I really don’t care that you think noncon fics are bad or whatever, I (and many others) will be more likely to read your fic about two boys who are deeply in love if you aren’t an ass about your morals in fiction :/

everytime I see antis call themselves punk I lose hope in the internet again

I don't know how to say this but policing people's right to create and consume any fiction they want AND advocating for the corporal punishment of "thought criminals" cannot and will not ever be punk. shut up

Saw a post of an anti saying that they are leaving AO3, as they are too uncomfortable to post their fics there now. The reason? They found out one of their long time readers was a proshipper, despite their fics having proship dni. And how "that includes silent readers too, I don't want you all looking at my content."

My brother in christ, you are posting on the fiction freedom site. The proshipping site. Dnis aren't god damn restraining orders. They are one tool in helping you display your boundaries. It's still on you to enforce your boundaries. You post something publicly, you forfeit your ability to regulate who can view your work. If you're obsessive enough, you can regulate who actually interacts with your work by stalking each person in the kudos list, comments, or bookmarks and then blocking snyone you don't like, but you do not get a say on who may silently read your posts. Not unless you private your work and only show it to specific people.

And if you don’t want proshippers to interact, get off the profic site.

"You have to be mindful when it comes to your art and who could potentially consume it!"

I can't control who sees my art. That's a fact. By putting it out on the Internet millions of people could see it and there's no way I could control anyone's reaction to it, let alone be able to stop them from viewing it. If you think that is precisely why people should be mindful, let me ask you this: why should an artist (or author) limit and censor themselves on account of a potential and imaginary "bad audience"? I'm sure that no matter the subject of the art, whether wholesome or problematic, it will eventually be viewed by people I disagree with.

Regardless, why should I let the paranoia of something that can't be controlled dictate what I create? If you're gonna walk on eggshells around your own creative process in fear of something that is ultimately impossible to avoid, you're fighting a losing battle. Stop focusing on things out of your control and policing yourself, and try instead to moderate your own personal space. Blocking accounts is the first thing to do and you can even filter tags if you want to, but never, under no circumstance, kill your art for anyone.

Fictional characters ages do NOT matter.

And you're weird for caring about them so much! Especially when the character isn't even human!

You see all these comments, yes? About this character named Mahito? You must think he looks like a literal baby, or at least looks very "young"? You'd be wrong!

Mahito is a mass murderer who looks like this.

Here are the rest of his crimes btw:

Mahito has no concept of age, he can change his form, gender, appearance all at will. He is a cursed spirit, he is NOT human. More importantly, he is NOT real! You will not go to jail for dating this man! But he WILL go to jail for the mass murder that's for sure!

This is mostly a lightheaded post but seriously what's with this obsession about arbitrary character ages? Mahito certainly doesn't LOOK 7 months old, and that's that on that.

People who like horror movies and games are freaks. "Oh but the gore isn't REAL!" yeah, well, it looks real. Why the hell are you engaging with the kind of content if you "supposedly" don't condone it in real life? Why are you watching torture porn if you don't condone actually torturing real people?

There's no difference between watching someone get tortured to death in a SAW film and watching an actual murder take place. It's all disgusting and ILLEGAL and anyone who watches or creates gore content is BASICALLY a murderer already. DNI you fucking criminal freaks!

On Discomfort and Morality

My father finds gay men uncomfortable.

He's told me before that it's like a knee-jerk for him. Something he doesn't consciously control. He sees two men behaving romantically, and his body reacts with mild discomfort.

In the 1960s, when he was in high school, most of the boys in his form thought he was gay on the simple fact that he wasn't homophobic. He wouldn't participate in insulting queer people, he didn't care if someone was gay, he wouldn't have a problem hanging out with gay people. So people thought he was gay. That's how prevalent homophobia was in his formative years.

When I was 10, my dad told me very seriously that Holmes and Watson were gay. That it was obvious from the literature and the time period that they were meant to be a gay couple. When I was 14 and I came out to my parents as bi, when my mum was upset my dad ripped into her for it. Told her that she was being stupid, that it was my life to live how I wanted to and that she needed to get over herself.

My dad formed my views on censorship: that being that it was completely ridiculous and thoroughly evil. He didn't believe in censorship of any kind. If I asked him a question about sex, he answered it honestly. When I was 12 and I asked him about homosexuality, still young and uncertain, he told me that there was nothing wrong with it. That it was just how some people were. That there was likely an evolutionary reason for it. And that for some people it was uncomfortable on an instinctual level.

He taught me that just because you're uncomfortable with something, doesn't make it wrong. He also taught me that most people don't understand this.

I see a lot of this on the internet as of the last few years. The anti shipping movement, the terf movement, the anti ace movement. It all stems from discomfort that people have crossed wires into believing means wrong. Really every -ism and -phobia out there stems from this same fundamental aspect of humanity.

The next time you see something and you automatically think it's disgusting, or wrong, or immoral, I invite you to ask yourself: is this actually wrong or does this just make me uncomfortable?

#shipping discourse #anti censorship #anti terf #my mum isn't homophobic #she was upset because she thought it meant i couldnt have children or a family #and this is something important to her #she was also not upset around me but to my dad in private

[whereserpentswalk]

You have to be at peace with the fact that not everything you find disgusting is immoral. There's no secret way out of it.

“Your fantasies equal your real life desires”

I’m fucking asexual? I have no desire to do anything I fantasize about irl. Same with a shit ton of other people who are aspec?

Tbh, I think it’s just queerphobic, specifically aphobic but other shit too, to say “your fantasies are what you want irl.

It’s not just aspecs either. I know a fuck ton of lesbians who fantasize about fictional men. They are not any less lesbians because of their fantasies though.

I could go on with more about how it’s a stupid argument, and even how it’s ableist in certain contexts, but I’ll save that for other posts lmao
