unfriendly goddamn reminder that i do not fucking agree with the notion that someone's thoughts, kinks, fetishes, favorite ao3 tags, fictional character they thirst over, mental illnesses, trauma responses, and anything else that can be summarized as "takes place inside the mind, and using it to cause harm to others is a choice and not a given" makes them inherently a bad person. it is what you do to your fellow living beings that determines how harmful you are, not what turns you on, not what fic you post to ao3, not what you fantasize about, not the emotions you feel, not anything is "bad" until you harm another soul.

the idea that thoughts can make you a bad person is moldy leftovers from religion AT BEST, and completely goddamn ableist/saneist on average. how many times have you wanted very, very badly to punch some guy that was annoying you, but decided not to because it would be wrong - after all, he's just annoying, nothing worse, and has a whole life to live, and so do you. then, you turn around and harass someone for a fantasy that - not only will they 99.999999% likely NOT actually act out irl, but DO go out of their way to make sure they are tagging anything they post properly, just so passers by on the internet don't have to see if they don't want.

you think they're punching the guy. but YOU are the one punching the guy, and not even for being annoying, you walked into the penis shirt convention to punch a guy for wearing a penis shirt. get over it for fucks sake

and - in the slim off chance this post gets any traction at all - i won't tolerate a single person clowning on this putting words into my mouth, if you say shit like "but op OBVIOUSLY doesn't mean the actual nasty shit like-" or "i agree except for gross shit like-" you are missing the point, you are part of the problem, you are pissing on the poor, you are exhibit A of why i am genuinely fucking terrified that my own generation is going to be a big part of the sterilization of the internet, hand in hand with the hyper-religious dickwads who think porn has no value or merit and should be eradicated globally. take one fucking moment to imagine a world where people don't just follow every little evil whim in their mind, and that people with complex opinions, interests, and/or conditions that you, personally, disagree with, consider disgusting, subhuman, selfish freaks, can still be - and usually are - kind, loving, gentle, generous people.

guess what? you don't have to imagine. we live in that world.
