#this nasty abusive anti lgbt hate no matter who it is directed towards or who does it

[youturningintodust]

Far too many people:

“AFAB people are inherently built for having submissive, receptive sex with a vagina and AMAB people are inherently built for having dominant, active sex with a penis. And it’s okay that I think this and even dare to bring my entitlement into LGBT communities, because I identify as some form of LGBT so I can do no wrong!

“Also anyone who doesn’t live this way is weird and icky and it’s okay for me to make up political reasons to hate them or associate them with the Regressive Bad Dinosaurs of the world who are so Mean and Uncool and Unqueer and Not With It. Queer is a compliment after all, a subculture and not an inherent inborn thing you can be — so I only use it for people who let me sexually get off to their original bodies, in the exact ways I want!

“No it’s not weird at all that my desires line up fully with religion and/or chaser porn and I’m going to manipulate and shame, and even literally gaslight you to shut up about it. I’m definitely not abusive or creepy at all for that. Because it never happened! Or if it did, it wasn’t that bad, and you deserve it!

“You just need to UNLEARN all that silliness you call your “inherently wired state” for us, honey. So you can be sexually liberated and enlightened! There you go…mmph, that’s hot right… That’s what’s good for Me / My libido / My cultural bias/expectations uh, I mean, you, yeah, good for you!

“Me?? Bioessentialist??? For coercing you to fill ancient roles for people of your AGAB?? Uhhhh no I think it’s YOU sweetie! because the sex you have or body that you want, line up wayyyy too well with the gender or the sexual role or social role you also feel naturally a part of. And that’s Bad Somehow! Why? Oh, Cause, Uh, [reads cue card] Stereotypes. Definitely Not because it ruins my kinks, oh nooooo it’s just uh. Problematic and Not Queer Enough and Morally Wrong Too.

“Now shut up and give me what I want you worthless homo/genderfreak, teehee uwu 🥰😇 The More-Normal-Than-Thou are talking. Obey 💋👌”

I made an ‘about’ page. you can check it out at the link above. the contents are as follows:

What this blog is:

freedom-of-fanfic is an anti-harassment, anti-censorship blog focused on fandom spaces.  It is focused on criticizing and deconstructing the current trend of using moral valuation as an excuse for intimidating fandom contributors into censoring themselves or leaving fandom.

The major points that come up over and over:

everything is permissible in fiction, whether it’s in ‘good taste’ or not

it is the responsibility of creators to tag and flag their content appropriately. it is the responsibility of consumers to blacklist and avoid content/content creators that will bother them or are not age-appropriate for them. (Caveat: current social media makes this difficult.)

nuance is important. there’s a balance between activism, awareness, and indulgence.

word definitions matter.

anti spaces (anti-shipper, anti-kink, anti-dark content) tend towards authoritarian thought patterns. they encourage black and white thinking, groupthink, isolation from all other points of view, and harassment of outsiders.

anti spaces tend toward exclusionist thought patterns. They encourage policing of others, identity/experience erasure, and gatekeeping content/resources.

harassment, death threats/suicide baiting, doxxing, assault, and slander/libel, whether directed at fanwork creators or people dedicated to tearing down fanwork creators, are never okay.

everyone is a fully formed human being with good sides and bad sides, and there is always value in considering another’s point of view, even if you reject their conclusions as harmful and false. (this blog spends a lot of time analyzing the conscious motivations and internal logic of antis.)

95% of the posts on this blog are long-winded text walls.

How this blog uses words: 

anti-shippers:  nice definition: fandom members who self-identify as being opposed to fandom interest in, discussion of, or depiction of romantic or sexual interaction between two or more characters on moral grounds and believe in stopping content creation by any means necessary.  

in simpler terms: they don’t want the ship they oppose to have any fan content whatsoever because they believe it is harmful to the moral fiber of fandom spaces, and they’re willing to go to great lengths to stop creators from creating for it.

this blog’s take: fandom members who subconsciously use a person’s ships as an excuse to ostracize and bully them out of a need to assert control over part of their environment.

anti-shipping: nice definition: public opposition to fandom interest in, discussion of, or depiction of romantic or sexual interaction between two or more characters on moral grounds, up, and taking aggressive action to discourage content creation.

in simpler terms: the act of making public fandom spaces feel hostile to fan content/content creators for the ship they oppose via public venting, anonymous harassment, hostile reblogs of positive fan content, and worse.

this blog’s take: the act of subconsciously using morality and ‘safety’ as an excuse for controlling the actions of others by scaring them into submission.

antis: anti-kink, anti-dark content, and anti-shipping in aggregate. anti-shipping frequently features anti-kink and anti-dark content arguments (all ships they oppose are 'incest’, 'pedophilia’, or 'abusive’, by dint of twisting the meaning of these words to apply to whatever ship they want.)

anti culture/movement:  the semi-organized, cult-like faction of fandom that isolates, indoctrinates, and radicalizes fandom members, encouraging them to attack and abuse others under the banner of making fandom 'safe’ again.  The methodology is:

surface-reasonable arguments (you can’t support something only in fiction, that’s like people who like yaoi but hate gay people. so you can’t support incest in fiction without support incest in real life. right?) to draw in sympathetic ears,

removing dissenting voices ('uh that person ships incest, you should unfollow them.’) and

demanding members pass loyalty tests ('we’ve been mutuals for years, though, they’re a good person.’ 'you can’t be friends with an incest supporter!’), 

changing word definitions ('incest is any ship where the characters say they have a family-like relationship, even if they’re not actually related’) and 

delegitimatizing nuanced opposition ('if you get technical with me about it you’re just doing it to excuse how harmful you are. incest apologist!’),

leading naturally to dehumanization ('incest supporters are monsters who support sexual abuse, and people who ship incest are indistinguishable from them’) and

persecution of the hated group ('nasty shippers deserve to die’) and/or 

persecution of anyone who doesn’t oppose the hated group with equally hostile aggression ('if you think it’s okay to 'ship and let ship’ you’re supporting incest and just as gross as incest shippers’).

exclusionist: anyone who supports excluding people from spaces meant to support underprivileged groups (feminist spaces, LGBT/queer spaces) because they’re not oppressed enough.

REG: Reactionary Exclusive Gatekeeping. Excluding people whose identities supposedly don’t get enough hate or aren’t different enough from cis/straight identities to need support from LGBT spaces - usually erased minority groups such as nb/ace/aro people.

radfems/TERF/SWERF:  radical feminist groups whose core beliefs are: dfab people are brainwashed by misogyny/the patriarchy into not valuing themselves or their femininity, and dmab people are inherently exploitative and dangerous to dfab people.

SWERFs: radfem group who believes dfab people are brainwashed into and exploited by doing or enjoying certain things, such as being attracted to/being in relationships with dmab people, not being attracted to fellow dfab people, enjoying kinky sex/relationships, getting into sex work, getting turned on by fictional depictions of things that would harm them irl, consuming porn, consuming m/m content, etc.

TERFs:  radfem group who believes dfab people are all women and dfab people are the only people who can ever be women. Trans men and all dfab-nb/generqueer/agender people are women who have been brainwashed into rejecting their femininity. Trans women are men seeking to infiltrate women-only spaces.

This blog’s take: antis borrow a lot of arguments from radfems about how dfab people in fandom are self-harming by enjoying 'bad’ ships and nsfw fanworks and don’t know what’s best for them, though they tend to take a 'and that makes them nasty’ twist to it. 

I think this covers the major things. I’ll add more on request or if I think of more.
