I am pretty anti-censorship but I think the argument versus the wave of puritan paypro censorship shouldn't be that "any sort of censorship is the tip of the iceberg for the censorship to come for you", i think censoring Video Nasties is bad, period. even the real gross stuff

also just like. objectively the "tip of the iceberg" defense isn't always true. there are some targets and subjects that are silenced and then life goes on. but the cost of that silence can often lead to a taboo that grows misunderstanding & marginalizes people

sexual attraction and gratification is messy and weird and severely misunderstood and I want taboo around the subject to be cleared up, I want more earnest debates and advancement of understanding, complexity of discourse to be had, and not less

I think the real nasty stuff has artistic value. otherwise the moment they strike a deal or a guideline that isn't objectionable or that has very specific unobjectionable targets, you'll throw the people of problematic kinks to the curb

I live in a country that literally made Eromanga Sensei an illegal show to watch or own, and that's where the puritans are right now ideologically

They've just shifted their targets. Anime is socially accepted now so they have to be polite about it, but they'll see anything outside of the norm and choose to demonize it as "one of the icky ones" because they always need something to go after

This thread was prompted by me seeing fanart of Dragon's Crown and going "oh god the controversy about that game was awful... terrible times"

If you never told said guy that it was made by a woman as an empowerment fantasy for teen girls and got told that Japanese women just don't know what's good for them... consider yourself double bleased

If you never saw "stock guy" proclaiming that Sailor Moon was misogynistic pedobait cos the girls wore short skirts then consider yourself blessed

Anyone who wasn't around for the shit that was said about Bayonetta and even fucking Sailor Moon couldn't even imagine It's like anything that was popular with queer women was a punching bag, shit was crazy

It cannot be understated how much cishet guys in the 2010s tried to signal that they respected women by loudly voicing disapproval at sexuality in art Fast forward to today and basically every woman who was around at the time biting their tongue about it is now an out-and-proud pervert

this is why shes the GOAT

Eleanor's face is so silly and cute, I had to draw it too May the ojousama yuri be real👸👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩 #xenoblade #XenobladeGenesis #ゼノブレイドジェネシス

this 102 year old anime franchise still warps sexual development the old fashioned way

the term "simulated abuse" is so funny. simulated literally means an artificial recreation or representation it's not even real

>ceritified freak > is an anti your certification is being revoked immediately

people trying to talk like they're experts in sexual psychology will suggest with full confidence that paraphilias work like shonen anime cursed powers that can only barely be held back to stop people from getting hurt

many of you I'm afraid

XB2 discourse happening again

Our beloved anti-art feminists are jumping on this bandwagon so let me just lay it out in the clearest terms. Do you believe the moral character of a person can be judged based on the fictional art they enjoy? If Yes, congratulations, you believe in Thought Crimes, and are therefore a fascist.

This 40 year old video game company still queerbaits the old fashioned way

Eve is in debt again, so I'm going to start sending out another round of DMs. God, isn't it wonderful that we live in a country where young women have to resort to survival sex work immediately after turn 18, www.gofundme.com/f/help-trix-...

can you guys focus!!!!!

"fiction normalizes-" is the ultimate calling card for puritanism it's a call for media and even fantasy to be sterilized and frictionless through nothing but a dressed-up version of "guns in video games make kids violent :(" and well-meaning people actually have adopted it without realizing this

Headcanoning it's on Kiwi's shelf, that girl loves her wife.

tl;dr sometimes the fact that what you're looking at or reading isn't real IS the entire appeal

if you can read your mafia boss ceo borderline-abuse-hiding-behind-the-"dom"-label fiction without being okay with people like that irl because you understand it's just a fantasy then other people can enjoy looking at cartoon animal porn or bug-eyed anime girls without being a danger to anyone irl

like the whole "why would you be into xyz fiction if you don't also like it irl??" argument in response to kink/darkfic is just hilarious to me as a porn artist who actually gets ill at the thought of even having vanilla sex irl

honestly if you can understand the concept of someone being sex repulsed irl and still making fictional smut then there's zero reason you shouldn't also be able to understand the concept of someone enjoying dark/taboo kinks in fiction without wanting to act on them in reality

save them!!

I don't even want to blame people too hard because obviously this is being massively influenced by algorithms for profit but it I step back it's horrifying in a way I don't think people fully grasp

like I've been there. but the more offline I get the more disturbing I realize it is

I don't care that there's sexy edgy stuff online somewhere I care that social media makes you all deranged

"fiction normalizes—" idk abt any of that but I think social media has normalized absolutely batshit behavior and social conventions that are inconceivable to anyone that is actually well-balanced and thriving in the real world and that's a bigger problem than fiction will ever be

insane to me that so many people are like "we need to push back against fascism in all its forms except this one little form they're using as a wedge issue because i personally think it's kinda gross"

If you are queer and a lolicon/shotacon, you are the strongest warriors and the true back bone of leftism, always keep striving

evergreen

Kink can be a fantastic way to cope with trauma, it’s amazing to see what it can do for people. But let’s remember that it doesn’t HAVE to in order to be “okay.” I know it’s a common thing to say in response to defending taboo kink, but perverts without relevant trauma to your kink, I see you.

I will also be SO serious about this: in this neo-Puritan reality we find ourselves in right now, *you do not owe anyone a glimpse into your trauma* just to make you “one of the good ones.” If someone pressures that from you, they are not a good person and should be treated as such.

artists should not need to be lawyers

To the “artists” that oh so loudly & proudly proclaimed that standing up for more marginalized, taboo creators/clients was or is dangerous. Not so sorry to say, we are on the same boat as the loli/shota artists are. If they go down, we are right beside them. the moral peacocking has gotta stop.

“But they look like kids.” Stop basing your morals on aesthetic. “But it normalizes pedophilia!” Your entire argument is that the people who like it are already pedophiles. “It’s traced from actual harmful material!” Literally just made up, no it’s not. Just so lame. That’s the main three I feel.
