fascists want to monger shame and fear surrounding certain ideas while preventing actual education so they can draw false equivalencies or make shit up out of thin air. like you said things being "gross" arent bad inherently. its important to educate what constitutes as materially harmful.
although i suppose historically stuff like identifying as MAPs and trying to make it apart of lgbtqia+ has been shutdown by the majority of people.
i dont feel bad for people who fantasize about causing irreparable damage to others, although im just as disgusted by organizations using this as some twisted chess move. that being exposed for what it is, that is important. i fear terrifying people might weasel their way into victimhood as well.
how do we break queerness or being a furry away from bring a predator of some kind? who is going to listen to us firsthand? who is going to see these major political issues and find our point of view, and understand there is a fundamental difference. unless influential people share out pov, idk...
we're in a chokehold right now. it feels like an impossible scenario. being anti censorship turns into being pro pedophelia. being anti pedophelia enables more censorship. what can queer people do anymore? it feels like public perception skews against us either way..
deserves better its so fuckin cool 💔
still can do things though it could be much worse haha.
7 star hydra wahoo
oops i slipped
a lot of fascists are actually quite pro pedophelia at the end of the day, maybe youll fit right in.
argue away about all the gray areas of that kind of content then. it implies more about yourself than anyone else.
it doesnt matter if it isnt the exact same level of harm. any genuine sexualization of children in any form should be treated with the weight it deserves and be punished. im not engaging in this discussion any further.
lets not give pedos even a centimeter, hm?
i dont think advocating for myself and separating these ideas is lending them credit. i think we should be advocating for what is okay and what is not. vague blanket statements will just confuse people, and reaffirm thoughts like "well these people oppose a ban that censors bad shit".
i do understand your point of "dont give them anything to work with", "dont fuel the fire", but im not going to treat everything as the same. im going to do what i can to highlight and break being gay, trans, or having benign kinks away from the darkest places possible.
any depiction of that material feed the same kind of people. its not just "lines on a screen."
youre not engaging with what im actually saying so i'd rather not waste going more and more in depth. its incredibly OBVIOUS that I OPPOSE THIS. please READ the words i am actively writing. im not saying wow these ppl are great for doing this lets SUCK THEIR COCKS OFF. jesus fucking christ..
broken record.
i want it to be clear only what is truly harmless should be treated with that weight. caught in the crossfire with morally reprehensible ideas. it cant all be treated the same. i hope you dont truly believe im justifying broad censorship under the guise of fighting pedophelia. assumptions dont help.
the right is conditioning people to treat pedophelia and queerness as the same. i intend to uphold a distinction and protect the image of queer people. youre not really understanding what im saying at all and eventually theres only so much more i can clarify before i just accept im not being heard.
again black and white mentality. nobody is dismissing the issue that sparked this discussion.
anything even close to enabling that discussion and making those intentions feel any less demonized could give a sense of empowerment to very malicious people. id hope we dont all lump everything into one category in the end, because thats how the right treats queerness.
this doesnt mean the approach is to have a binary mentality of "all of it is acceptable or none of it is acceptable". thats quite harmful, and i think nuance has its place in this discussion. again this is not a full endorsement of this move, but we dont want pedos talking like theyre victims too.
recognizing that is not an endorsement of the idea that all adult or queer content should be purged. if youre unintelligent maybe youll be conditioned to view everything on the same level, but i'd think anyone who can think for themself has differing opinions on different concepts being censored.
i think any decent person would agree that censorship of queer expression is evil, but also for the removal of any csam material from the internet to be a great thing. like we can see that and not have anti censorship hijacked by genuine pedos. id recommend having clear cut principles.
very helpful advice, thanks! ^^
i unfortunately cant stream w/o input delay atm, but ill keep this in mind. ✨
ive really tried :(
ultimately boils down to neurodivergency and anxiety making it very difficult though..
some ppls mindsets are just very strong. mine isnt without support. playing with ppl helps me just have fun and keep the vibes up, so ive put solo down at least until i get a better solution.
