Am I the only one who finds it weird how often antis tell proshippers to tell our parents what we like?

Like it might just be me, but it sounds weird to say I should talk about my fetishes with my Mom. Not shaming people who do feel comfortable doing that, but it feels weird to imply that should be the standard.

Somebody not being willing to talk about sexual matters with their family is not proof those things are shameful. Like I know I share a handful of kinks with my mom, she doesn't know that though, cause it's none of her business what gets me off. I don't see a reason as to why my parents would need to know any of my kinks. Even the more "vanilla" ones. And I doubt my Mom wants to know those things either.

Implying that I should violate both of our boundries or else I'm ashamed of myself is weird as shit.

I think some of you may recognize who this is but

The amount of young queer people using bigoted language like “degenerate” is concerning.

“Degenerate” is a term often used by queerphobig to refer to people and artists who, by the way, are very often queer as we.

I also find it ironic that they said that last part about not paying attention in school considering that they're not even aware of that part

(and the whole post was very ableist too)

I asked an anti if they could focus on more important things like project 2025 and they said "well I can't really do anything because I'm a minor" and went back to harassing proshippers

It's not like they were asked to go out and demonstrate, but they CAN care about such important things by talking about it or reblogging information (if they want to). What irked me though was the fact that they claim they "care" about it but also went and said "I can't do anything". Later on they even said that they let others do the fighting for them, it just shows that antis prioritize being an internet troll over everything else, even if their own rights are taken away

that same anti was also mad about Trump banning an app (forgot which, it wasn't tiktok but it is owned by the same company) rather than the fact that he's negatively impacting the lives of many people, including them

priorities!

I am seeing fics where masturbation is being tagged as "self cest" and I cannot tell if it's a joke or if they genuinely think that's what the tag means...

for my fellow americans (and anyone else who needs to hear it) out there who are feeling scared of what the impending inauguration will bring: you are not alone. take care of yourselves and stay safe, but whatever you do, do not give up. things aren’t looking great right now but the future needs all of us in it. hang in there and don’t let them convince you that we don’t have anything to hold on to or a future to look forward to. you are important and you are loved

stop blaming fiction for abusive behavior 2k25

[just-antithings]

This is a new one...

Just saw some puritan complaining about characters, and by extension irl people, with facial piercings, because, quote "They could bring lifelong trauma to children."

This sounds like something a conservative pearl-clutching grandma would say. Yeesh.

Something I found funny about antis is when they shout ‘ why don’t you tell your parents about your fictional preferences, problematic ships and kinks!’ As though talking about one’s sexual experience with their parents is even normal? Maybe it’s my family (who I am close to just to be clear) but I don’t talk to my parents about my sexual experiences or anything like it (they know I’m gay but that’s not the same). But even then I don’t want to talk to my family about vanilla sex with my partner (who’s a year older than me) with my parents because it’ just weird . Just because antis need constant validation that their kinks aren’t evilll because of their own puritanical guilt that they need to make sure everyone in their life agrees with them is a them problem? If there feeling so guilty maybe go to a confessional instead of shaming other for shipping two make believe siblings. The again their kinks and ships might be even worse than that and they need to project.

I think it also goes to show how online antis are that if they don’t immediately see something being discussed on a certain account that it means that that person doesn’t care about what’s happening, like sorry antis some of us have lives outside of tumblr. there’s a reason my posts on this blog are mostly queued.

yes, what neil gaiman did was horrible. I don’t think that anyone needs to hear me say it to know that it’s true. however, his bad actions don’t have anything to do with his pro fiction stance or the stances of other pro fiction people. they were his own choices. he’s a famous man who abused his power and influence. it’s a tale as old as time. he doesn’t need the cover of having his behavior blamed on fictional content.

my apologies to the hivemind for not immediately being on top of this lol but I’m sure that many of yall have been having more useful and productive discussions about this

Bunch of whistling when neil gaiman is outed as a rapist? Guess you lot really don't care when it's your own, only when it's antis

I do love how antis demonstrate just how much they care about victims, like whenever someone who holds pro fiction views turns out to have done bad things antis are immediately there to gloat about it instead of idk doing anything productive to help the people who were hurt

Your daily reminder that exclusionists are scum

[just-antithings]

Yall need some new material

[just-antithings]

I just want to make a small rant: I love that the antis are going back to the 'how dare you fetishize mlm' thing again, they'd taken a little break on it for a few years. As a gay man, I love seeing these supposedly inclusive and 'protector' puritans tell me that my very existence and any relationship I have (fictional or IRL) is not a real relationship, but a sick fetish. Thanks for being homophobic, gals. Thanks a bunch. I was starting to relax a little too much.

ex-anti here. let me shed a little light on the experience of being an anti for those of us fortunate enough to never have been one.

the primary driving force of anti-ism for a lot of people, not everyone, but a lot of them, is fear. thats why they all have that weird talking point about "well i bet you wouldnt tell your family that you like media about incest/noncon/lolisho/whatever-morally-outrageous-ficition-theyre-upset-about-today. its not that theyre actually morally outraged by the existence of "problematic" fiction, its that theyre personally afraid of being ostracized/attacked/disowned/etc for liking it.

i read noncon and underage smut all the fucking time when i was an anti. i felt no guilt or shame for reading it. but i knew my friends would hate it and me for reading it, so i always pretended to be morally outraged at the right moments when outrage was demanded of me in order to fit in and then i kept reading my noncon and underage stuff because i knew good and well that fanfic about teenage anime characters noncon-ing each other wasnt doing any actual harm to the world. but if i didnt keep up the semblance of moral outrage, my friends could and probably would do harm to me.

someone who was a friend of mine back in my anti days liveblogged an entirely satirical and mocking review while watching boku no pico (a shotacon anime for those who dont know). this person was a pretty popular anti blogger (at least in our corner of the internet), had all the "right" opinions, was public with their identity as a csa survivor (which they weaponized against proshippers and kinksters, as the anti-sphere encourages and praises people for), was a minor THEMSELF... and i watched the anti-sphere that we were involved in completely and utterly tear them apart. they pretty much left tumblr after. it was sickening.

so yeah. when you see those 15 year olds hand wringing about underage smut and whatever the fuck... just know that theyre scared to death of the people they call their friends, every single day.

Antis have genuinely distorted the way people see age online

For context im about to turn nineteen. I've been feeling more and more guilty about still being into fandom and having hobbies instead of spending 99% of my time looking for a job and talking about taxes or whatever the fuck antis think grown adults do.

Antis have created this narrative that the moment you turn 20 you should immediately drop everything you love and get a dead end job and be miserable for the rest of your life. And if you don't do that you're weird and creepy and a freak who's probably a pedo/s

Seeing people in their 20s being called freaks for still writing fanfics or just having fandom related hobbies in general makes me wanna throw my phone into a lake and never log on ever again

Since when is 27 considered old???? Do these ppl think humans just drop dead at 30????

yeah it’s both ridiculous and depressing

[just-antithings]

by far the wildest shit i’ve ever seen. idek where to begin with this
