im 'on' the knowlege that you people keep using the same arguments and straight up allying with cryptofacists because its convenient. youll use all the arguments they used against trans people, queer people, any woman you dont like- but you seem to forget theyll stomp you under their boot too once they run out of everyone else.

are terfs really so deluded as to think that when the white supremacists come knocking they wont be dragged kicking and screaming with all the trans folks and non ‘political’ lesbians they hate?

like newsflash, ladies, youll get branded with the same damn triangle and theyll be no one to say anything for you because theyll have come for them while you shouted slurs

[fictional-characters-are-dolls]

op i know why youre saying this but please stop. ive lived with knowing my autistic ass would be first to die along with my jewish family members my entire life. my autistic father, who saw his uncles tattoo and knew immediately what it meant, has too. 

other people experience intergenerational trauma from this- especially anyone who carries the label named after Hans fucking Asperger, especially when there is another of us dead every year by our own parents hands, when auti$m $peak$ perpetuates the same stereotypes and language that made me realize at age 8 that had i been born to anyone else at any time in history i likely would have been locked in the attic or drowned at best. 

Can you clarify what you meant by saying that gay people should shut up about the Holocaust?

fuck i’m tired of having this conversation 

it’s not that i think “gay people should shut up about the Holocaust,” it’s about recognizing what kind of relationship you have to the Holocaust

for Romani and Jewish people, the Holocaust constitutes a kind of generational trauma – the Holocaust today continues to be a presence in our families and communities. in my experience, if you’re Jewish, you either have family members who were killed in the Holocaust or you’re close to a lot of people who do. the Holocaust is also presently used, on a large scale, to terrorize us as part of our oppression.

it is a part of our consciousness and a part of our lives in a way that does not happen on the basis of being disabled or on the basis of being gay.

if you are gay or disabled but not Jewish or Romani, your relationship to the Holocaust is “i might have been affected by the Holocaust if i had been there.” if you are Jewish, your relationship to the Holocaust is “i am affected by the Holocaust.”

and that’s why y’all can produce Holocaust discourse just as bad as any other non-Romani gentiles, and why you need to be just as aware of that as they do.

“if you’re fine with it in fiction you’re fine with it in real life!” I was listening to the Magnus Archives all week without breaking a sweat but started crying and shaking at finding a dead rabbit in our yard. My roommate seeks out gory anime that I can’t even be in the same room as but almost passed out when I cut my finger (and also couldn’t touch the rabbit lmfao).

my point here is that responding differently to fictional depictions and real life is normal and common and doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you!!

[fictional-characters-are-dolls]

I found this screenshot cleaning up my desktop and holy shit I thought we as a society had moved past book burning but I guess antis just want to sound like radical right wingers

(submitted by anon)

Man that’s just… Kinda sad. This discourse really sucks because there’s absolutely nothing wrong with liking yaoi manga, yet this person has been convinced there is to the point of actually contemplating burning queer literature I mean

Damn.

That’s just not okay.

But if op wants to send me all of their yaoi I’d take it gladly, someone should give it a good home. I sure as hell hope they didn’t fucking burn it.

[fictional-characters-are-dolls]

[fictional-characters-are-dolls]

…did EVERY anti just. collectively forget about the ‘bodice-ripper’ genre of romance novels everyone’s mother read in 80s??

ooc - Help I’m being oppressed. XD

// Yes so @just-antithings @theassholeantiarchive @block-report-program @antis-delete-your-blogs-pls-thx Let’s block pyon/kotchi for ageism and kinkshaming :)

[fictional-characters-are-dolls]

bodice ripper fiction, ‘forbidden romance’ novels, the entire fifty shades fiasco, dexter, Hannibal lecter fans, slasher flick fans, vampire fiction, literally anything your 40 yr old mother reads in her spare time. nice try, but people have been reading dark shit since before rome and you’re not slick. maybe just admit you don’t like knowing that survivors are making their own fiction rather than read it mainstream, rather than being a coward that perpetuates another moral panic primarily calling an entire group consisting of mostly queer folks child molesters, again. go back to the fucking eighties.

Anyway this entire argument is just bonkers. Only because of the internet and the way it’s structured could “romanticizing pedophilic relationships is bad actually” become such a controversial topic to so many otherwise mostly reasonable people.

Y’all are so deep in it. You’re in an echo chamber.

I want you to go to an event, some club at your university, or some parent-teacher conference because god forbid you’re a parent, or some cookout with people outside of your social circle, some work party, and I want you to tell them that you enjoy writing/reading/drawing/generally consuming content about pedophilia, incest, etc., or that your friends do and you don’t mind, and I want you to see how people react.

Go ahead and explain to the other moms or your classmates or your coworkers that it’s a “coping mechanism,” or that you’d “never indulge in it in real life,” or that you just enjoy “exploring dark themes,” or any of the other arguments y’all make.

Go ahead and see how they feel about that and how many of them will want to associate with you from then on.

This isn’t a controversial opinion. You’re just wrong, and most people who haven’t grown up in toxic online communities being fed this discourse by the gross adults that came before THEM will know it, and they won’t like you.

Just keep that in mind.

[fictional-characters-are-dolls]

what the fuck is wrong with this person??? how can ANYONE think its acceptable to send blatant threats like this is acceptable in any capacity, especially to a csa victim?? what the fuck

Hi, someone please help me. This person actually knows where I live. She’s fucking crazy and I’m scared. Thanks.

How not to be a pox on fandom, incomplete list

Fanfic doesn’t have to conform to canon. Canon ships are not better or worse than non-canon ones.

Someone shipping a character you ship in a different ship than you do is not an attack on you. It is not a claim that your ship is wrong. Fan creators each have their own internal canon that is separate from all others, unless they’re collaborating. If you try to ban people from shipping something or try to find reasons why it’s “bad” just because you ship something else, you’re an asshole.

Shipping means that you think 2 or more characters look hot together or have an interesting relationship dynamic, or sometimes that you think the canon is implying they might be together. If the latter, that does not mean you have to like it or can’t ship anything else, nor that it isn’t a false flag or a temporary relationship or you just reading into things that much.

Shipping is a creative state. It should inspire you to make things. If you only want to destroy everything else, you’re an asshole and only hurting fandom.

If you seriously intend to hurt or harass people because a ship got sunk or they ship something you don’t like, you’re an asshole.

If you’re planning a literal protest because a ship got sunk, you’re an entitled, selfish, toxic asshole. There are actual problems in the world, and you’re picketing a TV show because you didn’t like a ship. Go be ashamed of yourself.

Writing about something doesn’t mean doing it in real life. The point of fiction is to mentally explore things you can’t or shouldn’t do in real life. You should try it sometime.

Don’t do pedophilia libel. It’s homophobic and destructive. (The average fan creator is queer.) If there isn’t a direct victim, it’s not predatory and the accusation is fake. The target can, under some circumstances, sue you. It’s not worth it. Don’t do it.

Don’t shame people’s kinks. If you don’t like it, they didn’t write it for you. There is a 99% chance you have some weird horrifying fetish, too.

(And this is not a claim that pedophilia is a kink, ffs. Assaulting people is bad. You’d better have some evidence that an assault actually happened before you accuse anyone though, you ghouls. Also, if you literally think there are pedophiles everywhere, your reality is distorted and you need to get help.)

Disgust ≠ moral turpitude. That’s projection. Look it up.

“Fujoshi” doesn’t mean what you think it means. Just stop using that word.

Fetishization requires dehumanization and reduction of a character to a single trait. Attraction is not automatically fetishization. Arousal is not fetishization.

Sex isn’t bad. Stop being scared of sex. Especially stop being scared of fictional sex. You can’t even get pregnant or catch an STI from it.

Stop judging people for having sex, for wanting to have sex, or for doing either in ways that you wouldn’t.

Stop being scared of your own desires. Stop hating yourself for them. If you can’t do that, at least don’t project that onto your opinions of other people and their work.

A ship having abuse or conflict doesn’t mean it’s bad to ship. Just don’t emulate it in real life. This is simple. If you don’t get it, you need help. If you just pretend not to get it so you have an excuse to hate people who ship a thing you don’t like, you’re an asshole. Stop being an asshole.

Shipping doesn’t matter in real life. People shipping ships you don’t like doesn’t matter in real life. Just ignore other people’s ships.

If you get so obsessed with a ship that sinking it would make you have a real breakdown, you need to disengage. If that level of obsession happens regularly, you need to stop shipping at all until you’re more stable, because it’s not healthy for you, the same way you wouldn’t run a marathon on a sprained ankle.

If you’d break up a friendship or relationship because they started shipping something you didn’t like, you have a problem and you’re being an asshole. Get help.

Don’t insist things are canon when they’ve only been implied. Especially don’t do that to attack other people or ships. Canon does not define validity. Stop being an asshole.

If you feel like you need external validation such as canon to ship or headcanon something—you don’t. If canon directly contradicts the thing, it’s simply AU. That means alternate universe, which means you can change as many rules and conditions as you want, for whatever reason. If you still feel like you need external validation, get help.

Wanting your own work to be canon compliant is fine. Bashing someone else because theirs is or isn’t makes you an asshole. Don’t be an asshole.

Before you reblog things that make claims about anything fannish or shippy, especially if it has buzzwords, apply critical thinking to make sure it and its underlying premises (assumptions about how things work) make sense. If you’re allergic to thinking, take Benadryl. If it doesn’t actually make sense but it gives you a plausible sounding excuse to be a hater, you’re an asshole. Stop being an asshole.

If you like hating on people and get a rush out of it and take any excuse to yell at Bad People and tell them to choke, die, suck your toes, or pee themselves, you are an asshole and are probably not being honest with yourself about your motivations. Also, please look up the definitions of humiliation kink, breathplay, foot fetish, or omorashi, and try to find consenting partners for any of those that appeal to you and stop doing them verbally to strangers on the internet who didn’t ask for it and probably aren’t interested. (Because that’s creepy and predatory. Notice it also involves actively doing something to real people instead of writing about it happening to fictional characters.)

If you think fictional characters are traumatized for real when people write about bad things happening to them and that such writers are real abusers, but that you’re not hurting anyone by yelling at them and accusing them of terrible things and hurling outre sexual invective at them, you’re an asshole and your reality is distorted. Get help.

Fictional characters aren’t real people. Writers and other shippers are real people. Treat the real people only how you’d want to be treated, and get consent before you do anything else. Take out your antisocial impulses on the fictional characters, because they’re not real and can’t be hurt by it.

Being kind is ultimately more rewarding than trying to seek out and identify Bad People. “Everything is bad and I must punish it” can feel powerful but leaves you exhausted and terrified. Kindness is two-thirds leaving people alone and one-third encouraging what you do like, but you’ll make real friends you don’t have to be afraid of and walk on eggshells around, and the kindness comes back to you.

Creative, not destructive; transformative, not curatorial; kindness, not vengeance. Less ship wars, more free sailing.

Don’t be an asshole.

and ima be real with you chief i’ve been anti anti since i was 14 because still wanting to read gay naruto fanfics or weird teen titans kink stuff after i turned 18 didn't make me into a irl child molester because cartoons arent real

@/anti antis why are all of yall like 25/30

[fictional-characters-are-dolls]

this genius: if you play violent video games/that satanic board game/that devil music you're going to shoot people/sacrifice babies/commit arson irl every adult who lived through the satanic panic: ... anyways-

and citation needed much for that 'brain study' that every legitimate sex psychologist has disagreed with for the past 50 years buddy

@/anti antis why are all of yall like 25/30

[fictional-characters-are-dolls]

wow anon is totally right i mean its not there was at one point an entire moment branding people- but ESPECIALLY queer people pedophiles, satanists, murderers and ect i mean who could imagine oh wait-

THE ENTIRE SATANIC PANIC???? HELLO? DID YALL FUCKING FORGET THIS IT WAS ONLY 30 YEARS AGO

SEVENTEEN YEARS OF FEAR MOB MENTALITY AND FALSE ACCUSATIONS? CONVICTIONS BASED ON FALSIFIED INTERVIEWS? ENTIRE LIVES RUINED? PEOPLE LITERALLY BEING ATTACKED IN THE STREETS BY PEOPLE WHO THOUGHT THEY LITERALLY KILLED INFANTS IN THE WOODS FOR SATAN???

lol y'all sound like them paranoid ass mras who think the world sees men as pedophiles for just simply interacting with children. the only difference between you and them is that you couch your fear in progressive/sj language. y'all need to your asses whooped idc

So what you’re saying is:

adult lgbt+/queer &/or kinky ppl are paranoid for thinking ppl will treat them with hostility&violence if they interact with minors …

And you think they need to have this fear beaten out of them?

Interesting theory. Not sure it holds water for me 🤔
