Hey what's the deal with lumping people who don't give a fuck about the pro/anti discourse in with one side or another in their DNIs now. This is absolutely not something where not picking a side means picking a side. (More thoughts in the tags.)

#like. it's just a juvenile online mimicry of content censorship debates #and the far more complex conversation of what should and shouldn't be permitted in terms of art #i have low to no interest in involving myself in this or even passively picking a badge to slap onto myself #especially when no one seems to be able to give me a clear answer as to what those labels actually fucking mean #dumbest possible discourse on the site honestly. nothing productive has been gotten from it.#I can't respect something that enters a creative and self-healing space #and makes me just as if not more nervous to revisit my old joys from high school #because of whether or not it'll be regarded as socially acceptable by an arbitrary metric of rules and morality.#That's just the roving eyes of cringe culture all over again but with a vaguely political coating of moral posturing attached #i'm a fucking adult with a life i'm not gonna go #'um um people on the internet can i pwease pwease look upon my old ships without religious shame #because i liked a 15 year old fictional boy when i was 15?'#i can't believe i let that shit stop me before #we need to relearn the word Squick
