It is real weird that the current spoken opinion on young people is that no one under 18 has ever had a sexual thought or desire and everyone is as sexless and pure as a Disney Channel show
#MASSIVE TW CAUSE IM GONNS GET PERSONAL- incest csa and rape talk in the tags#i was raised under a situation where neither my school nor my parents ever had any real safe sex talk to me the only real discussion was#clinical or done under sexual abuse - anyway I lost my virginity at 14 and I was now really I was statutory raped a couple times before I#hit the actual age of consent in my area because I had no idea about safe sex or consent and got myself into awful situations#until I was sixteen I thought any sexual act at all done between a dfab and dmab could get you pregnant#so yeah - abstinence and ‘nothing for under 18s that’s sex related’ doesn’t actually work#and meant I didn’t realise I had been sexually abused by my stepdad until I was in my twenties… and it’s really obvious in hindsight but I#had no idea what was and wasn’t okay sex wise or even what was sexual so yeah don’t raise#raise your kids like that

It's a real shame that online reply guys have made 'thought experiments' into a constant ordeal of 'would you let me say the n-word to save 5 black children?' bullshit, when actually, real thought experiments are important training tools to unlearn acting on bigotry, biased instincts and propaganda.
In life you're going to encounter ethical questions that you've never considered before or you'll find reasons to question ethical questions that you always thought that you knew the answer to. And when that happens, you have to be comfortable thinking the whole things thru from all angles, even though your gut instinct tells you to settle for the easy answer that makes you comfortable.
You have to be able to ask questions like 'but is anyone harmed by the thing that disgusts me?', 'is this about improving the world or just about punishment'?, 'what if my assumptions about why people do this thing are wrong'?
You have to be comfortable not being sure yet what your conclusion will be. You have to be comfortable exploring opinions that differ from what your friends think. Thought experiments teach you this.
If you don't get comfortable doing that, propagandists will trick you into accepting a comfortable answer based on your preconceived biases and whatever new biases they want to slip in there.

"hey i'm opposed to the way you're treating me. I think its unfair and you should be listening to my experiences instead of speaking over me" "you're just a dumb little girl and I don't care what you have to say because you're too young and stupid to know what you're talking about. Your hobbies are stupid, your art is cringey, and your self expression holds no value. Your voice doesn't deserve to be heard, now shut up and let the real men talk, you bitch." "actually I'm a transgender man" "oh sorry. 👩♀️you're just an idiotic privileged ✨Man✨ and I don't care what you have to say because you're too masculine and privileged to know what you're talking about. Your hobbies are stupid, your art is cringey, and your self expression holds no value. Your voice doesn't deserve to be heard, now shut up and let the real feminists talk, you theyfab. 🎀 #girlpower #feminism #keepmenoutofwomensspaces 💖💋"

are we far enough out of the 2010s that I can say that a lot of what was getting framed as intentional queerbaiting in the big Tumblr Popular shows was definitely just writers making homophobic jokes bc they thought the idea of a character being gay was funny rather than any attempted implication that a character might be gay

something i’ve kind of noticed with the surfacing of this whole “the best smut is a character study” kind of mindset is the pipeline to a borderline “when i write porn i do it intellectually unlike some of you SICKOS” type of mindset and i just wanted to remind you especially in our current political atmosphere that writing porn doesn’t have to be intellectual to have value. it can be just horny. thanks
