purity and cancel culture make people think artists who write, draw, sing or make things about subjects that are (rightfully) considered disturbing and socially unacceptable — as well as fans who like fictional things that are (rightfully) considered disturbing and socially unacceptable — are “red flags”, “predators”, “deserving of having their hard drives checked”, etc, when in reality people can like or make fictional things about subjects that are (rightfully) considered disturbing and socially unacceptable without condoning these things in real life.
artists who create (fictional) contents about triggering subjects aren’t automatically “predators who condone these terrible things in real life”. artists who create (fictional) contents about triggering subjects are just artists who create (fictional) contents about triggering subjects.
people who like (fictional) contents about triggering subjects aren’t automatically “predators who condone these terrible things in real life”. people who like (fictional) contents about triggering subjects are just normal people who like (fictional) contents about triggering subjects. for reasons that aren’t nobody’s business but their own.
(as long as they don’t act out these things in real life and hurt real people, they’re normal people like you and me, and 99.99% of people who like fucked up fictional things are normal people who don’t hurt anyone in real life.
if someone watched a fucked up movie and acted out the antagonist’s crimes in real life, then it still meant that this individual was already fucked up and a predator, and they would have done terrible things whether or not they watched a fucked up film; the art itself don’t make people do terrible things.)
art has never been restricted to only rainbow and sunshine and unicorns.
art is also about the depiction of macabre, things that are disgusting, unpleasant, violent and unacceptable. (as long as nobody in real life actually gets hurt.)
you can’t claim to “accept art and artists” and then say “but if you write fics about (X) or if you like this movie then you’re a red flag and are disgusting 🤢”
it’s absolutely okay if you personally hate these types of fictional works that revolve around triggering subjects that are (rightfully) disgusting and socially unacceptable, it’s okay because it just means these types of works are not for you (no one forces you to watch, read or listen to them), but it’s not okay if you start harassing artists who create or people who enjoy art you personally hate, just because you hate them and therefore you believe other people must hate them too or else they’re terrible people.
you are a terrible person if you harass anybody in real life over fictional things that aren’t real.
you are the one who aren’t able to separate fiction from reality.

To keep with election talk, now is NOT the time to point fingers and place blame, regardless of how insensible some of our fellow Americans may be.
Now is the time to come together within our communities to protect ourselves and anyone vulnerable to the changes that are sure to follow.
If the public can no longer be a safe space, you must create one. By any means possible.

It’s sooooo tempting to give up. Believe me, I know. It’s so tempting to just throw in the towel and call the whole thing hopeless.
I see this a lot in folks my age. No offense, but a good chunk of leftists are fragile pussywillows who complain just as much as they’re online, and throw up their hands at the first sign of pushback. “We lost, it’s over, there’s nothing we can do.”
Admitting defeat is letting them win. You HAVE to keep believing that there will come a day where America WILL be a place with liberty and justice for all.
But we won’t get there on beliefs or prayers alone. We have to keep at it. We can’t falter in the face of defeat, we have to get the fuck back up and keep fighting in any way you possibly can.
That’s not saying there’s nothing to complain about. It DOES look bleak. So many people’s rights, lives and livelihoods are at risk. But that is exactly why you can’t give up. Because this fight isn’t just about you. It’s about all of us.
This is Trump’s last term, and there’s no telling what he’ll do with it. And trust me, I know it’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel in all this. But all the while we need to cling to what we’ve got, fight like hell to keep it, and rebuild when the fight is over.
#less of an impassioned speech and more of an exhausted plea#us politics#us elections#please don’t give up.

I hope none of you disappear in the coming days. Seriously don't do anything that can't be undone.

I’m not sure how many people realize that there’s a way in which hurt/comfort is actually very kinky, because at its core you’ve got this emotional power exchange fantasy where one character is vulnerable and helpless and the other takes care of them. In the case of stories involving grievous injuries, where someone is bedridden for a long time, you often end up with two characters in a 24/7 total power exchange relationship without a safeword. It just doesn’t involve as many whips and dog collars.

It’s gotta feel so good for an italian to call out “MIKEY” or “TONY” as a man- Like how one would imagine barking feels good for a dog
