Ramble-rant inbound, I am very passionate about this, and I’m tired of explaining myself.
I think fiction can affect reality, but not in a traditional way. Art and fiction can bring emotion, I’m not a retard who thinks that liking a fictional murderer can turn YOU into a murderer, or like a overly sensitive mother who thinks FPS games can turn kids into school shooters. Fictional franchises are meant to be a storytelling outlet and make people feel things, no matter how cringe or immature the franchise or makers may be. All humans are flawed, and so can franchises. All art should be engaged with personally, meaningfully, safely, and acceptably to your desires. I never judge how people express themselves and I will only block if I find some form of it to be distasteful and/or harmful.
- If you can’t discern fiction from reality, you need to get off the internet. That’s all I have to say. The internet contains a lot worse than a toxic ship.
I am pro-fiction, pro-ship, pro-kink, anti-censorship, and anti-harassment. I guess. I don’t actually like using terms like these on myself, but if it gets my point across, I’ll take it. “Pro-” does not equate to “problematic” OPEN THE SCHOOLS. PAY MORE ATTENTION IN ENGLISH/LITERATURE CLASS. I prefer to mind my own business on things, even if I don’t like a trope or genre (yes, it is possible. People act like judgement = love when it comes to this topic: I can not like a trope but also not hate on it vehemently at the same time.) I won’t make a scene about it, I won’t shame you, nor will I say anything about it directly. I don’t make a scene about anything I hate, I may mention it in passing, but it is never directed at the person who likes it. Based hypocrite moment. I personally love tropes and themes deemed “problematic”, one half to cope, and the other because I pawned my moral compass for a quick buck and never went back on it. If you want to RP brosis, momson, dadson, ddlg, whatever in your relationship with the consent of both parties, then who am I to judge in the first place? I abide heavily by the “safe, sane, and consensual” motif, so as long as nothing is enforced or non-consensual, I have no business to feign concern or stick my nose somewhere it’s not appropriate. As long as you aren’t preying on your real-life parent or sibling in reality, I really don’t care.
- I have many friends who use “darkships” and DD:DNE tropes as well to cope, some for the laughs, and their business is none of my own. Don’t crucify me for something a friend likes unless its creeping out of fiction and into reality. If you’re going to do this, subtweet about it, or you generally find it uncomfortable, then feel free to soft or hardblock me, I don’t care. Regardless of age, clowning and making a scene about someone being a “proshipper” is only doing more harm than good, and when people use such things for coping, you are only making things worse for the other party. Beautiful job, you’re suuuuchhhh a saviour for the world! (If you need a tonetag, that last line is sarcasm. Of course I don’t mean this shit are you slow?)
Although I don’t care about lolisho, it’s not my taste and I won’t act like it, but there is no such thing as “fictional CSEM”, and liking a franchise with lolisho present does not equate you to a predator nor a pedophile in my eyes. These kids are fictional, and pieces used to convey a story, not reality. Equating underage characters in compromising positions as real CSEM does not make you a good person, it only shames and damages survivors more than you think it does. Nobody, in any case, wants to be equated to nothing but pixels on a phone screen. You are not “woke” or partaking in any kind of activism when there is still children endangered, assaulted, and murdered across the world.
I don’t know what a paraphilia is, and I’m not bothered to learn about it either. I don’t want to have morality-offs with a 16 year old (or even talk to a 16 year old at that, but I digress) on Twitter or in my inboxes when its something I don’t even care about. Thanks you.
I don’t have many boundaries about all of this but I really would prefer to stick with people who AREN’T physically incapable of going 5 seconds without talking about their gory incestuous ship. It’s annoying, and I would much rather talk to people about other things. Yay (:
If you’re mad about this, you can stay mad honestly. Nothing you can show or say to me is going to all of a sudden make me switch sides. I am turning 23 years old this year, I can do whatever the fuck I want. Love forever, let’s catch up soon. Oh, and if you’re someone I’m friends with looking at this, then um… Same time next week?
