#thought crime is not real

[jellybeanium124]

jsyk if I catch any of y'all posting "happy october 7th!" next month that's it. you could not be more of a disgusting, heartless ghoul than if you're looking forward to posting "happy 10/7! death to israel!" 10/7 was a genocidal terrorist attack which has cost thousands of innocent people their lives and there is no word for the absolute depths of evil you'd have to be to celebrate it.

If someone tells you you have hurt them, that is a gift. Instead of being silent or walking away, they have told you and given you the gift of getting to choose how you reply. Now you have an opportunity to learn and be better. Let's be better.

I've seen people are talking about cultural Christianity and how regardless of new belief or lack thereof, it tints your point of view for other groups, interpretation of their beliefs, culture, values etc.. Remember that applies massively to how you interpret and treat Jews. You likely have buried sentiments and unrealized bias against us that aren't even conscious to you. "But I don't hate Jews!" "But I love Jews!" You're not always aware you hurt people 😅 It happens. All that matters is how you handle it after someone brings it to your attention.

it’s actually so wild to me that this fairly quirky YA type show gave both of its main characters deaths that can, in one way or another, solidly be considered hate crimes. they were both flat out murdered as a result of being A) gay and effeminate or B) brown (south asian, specifically) and you could argue whether or not those kids thought of it that way in the moment or whatever but the bottom line is that they would not have been in the situations that killed them if they weren’t of their respective minorities. like legitimately that is a ballsy choice for this kind of netflix show, let alone for the two Main Characters, and i respect it big time

ok as an ✨ artiste ✨ i'm here to tell non-drawers that drawing a person you know is a crazy intimate thing. like it seems so simple but depicting someone's appearance forces you to think about everything--every part of their physical attributes to their mannerisms and presence--in a way that makes you feel almost intrusive even if it's just a simple cartoon and even if you're not that close with the person. all this to say that callum drawing rayla is insane. like you don't just do that casually, specifically when you're already in love

“Why would you even ship that character with anybody?! He’s basically irredeemable to me—“

TO YOU!! He’s irredeemable to you. But some of us are silly geese that like our men to be the sexy, sad, feral, pathetic wet cats that they really are deep down, because we aren’t allergic to joy.

Is that okay with you??!? Is that permissible in the eyes of the Chronically Online Board of Hypothetical Ethics and Human Resources for Fictional Characters That Are Not Real™️®️.

You can go enjoy your curated selection of stale two dimensional wonderbread men in the corner, like the misguided pitiful lost soul that you are. the rest of us will be enjoying ourselves as our pathetic wet rag himbos and twinks kneel on the ground and beg to taste pussy/cock so hard they nearly come, like real men. just as god herself intended.

"Coriolanus had this bad thought early in the book so clearly he was evil all along!" y’all hate people with intrusive thoughts and mental illness so much and it shows.

YES president Snow is an irredeemable villain. NO he was not always "destined to be evil". The whole point is that he could’ve been good and yet he wasn’t.

I hate when people are like "I already didn't like xyz so it's not difficult for me to boycott it unlike those loser customers that actually Liked the thing which I could never understand bc I was never a customer uwu" bc like. That literally isn't boycotting lmao. That is just Never Being A Customer In The First Place, which means nothing actually.

Boycotts are primarily about applying pressure (or completely making it impossible to operate) via financial/commercial/economic impact. AKA it's about money and capital.

If you already weren't spending money on a product/franchise/company, then you were already never part of their sales data, and you just doing nothing & making absolutely no change to your daily life and just continuing to not be part of their sales data as normal, has literally no material impact. You were already never a factor. The people who WERE customers & WERE part of the sales data & ARE withdrawing their money from those sales figures actually ARE making a material impact.

"Supporting" something isn't about vibes or thoughts or feelings or you telling your best friend how much you like a thing, "support" in a meaningful sense is specifically material. It is financial. Refusing to continue supporting something means taking the money you were previously spending on it & putting it elsewhere. If you were never spending money, you were never supporting it, and therefore it doesn't make any difference if you continue to not support it. Boycotting is something CUSTOMERS and CONSUMERS do.

SO STOP FUCKING BRAGGING ABOUT IT & STOP MAKING FUN OF PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY ARE BOYCOTTING FOR "EVER LIKING XYZ TO BEGIN WITH" & STOP SPREADING THIS FALSE IDEA OF HOW BOYCOTTING WORKS LMAO sorry for capslocking I remembered I was annoyed

I just hate this low-morale mean-spirited bullshit some people do in the notifs on boycotting info posts where they arbitrarily moralize about something they just don't understand so they can pat themselves on the back for doing literally literally nothing AND inadvertently spreading misinfo in the process. Be quiet. Go do something that matters. There are plenty of posts going around, including from Palestinians themselves, with lists of references for how to help Palestine & other similar causes for people currently in crisis, please please do something For Real instead of boasting online about your fandom superiority complex as if it means anything.

Stop fucking saying CP. 'Child porn' is not a thing. That's a harmful, outdated term that implies a child can consent. A child cannot consent. Sexually explicit material that exploits REAL children is CSEM (child sexual exploitation material) or CSAM (child sexual abuse material).

Sexually explicit FICTION is not CSEM or CSAM -- it does not exploit real people of any age to create. That's because it's fiction. Reading it also does not exploit a real person, of any age. It might affect the person that chose to read it, in an emotional/distressing way, and that may feel like harm. But it is not the same as the creator causing you harm maliciously. Dealing with coming across things that distress us is something we all have to learn when we grow up.

Reading or writing underage sexually explicit fiction doesn't make a person a pedophile or a predator. (A lot of you don't seem to actually KNOW what a pedophile is, at that. Frustrating. Words MEAN THINGS.) It's not evidence of being one, or having these desires, either. Yes, I mean even when the fiction portrays things that are horrific IRL. Yes, I mean even when something that would be horrible IRL is treated as romantic and consensual in fiction. And yes, I mean even the stuff that squicks you personally.

When you (general) throw terms like this around incorrectly, loosely, or vengefully, you actually do harm by watering down the meaning of words that describe actual, exploitative, illegal, and terrible real life actions. You do harm by making undue accusations and wasting time and resources that should've been spent elsewhere. You affect real people.

Sometimes people write from their own childhood experiences. Some people just have a fucking imagination for how a situation might play out under certain circumstances. Some people look at two characters and their history and fill in the blanks with all the twists and turns they see lurking in the shadows. Some people have a really fucked up idea they want to explore IN FICTION.

People can have their own squicks and boundaries about it, and that's fine. There's certainly fictional underage material that squicks me, even though I write and read tons of underage fiction. This is what tags, summaries, the back button, and the delete from history button are for.

Thought crime is not a thing. Quit equating it with real life.

[proshippers-against-censorship]

contact is based on actual interactions and relationships so...

pro c is being in favor of having sexual/romantic relationships with the thing/person one is attracted to

anti c is the opposite, being against having sexual/romantic relationships with the thing/person one is attracted to

it could only become real contact if one admitted/confessed their feelings or made a move towards having a relationship. you cannot harm others by thinking about them.

Right you are.

"I hope Russia wins" - someone said

What the hell did I just read before had planned to go to bed?! I hope that the user is a bot. But... There are so many comments like that. Thank you everything-changed-me for reply to them. I don't have the energy to do that. You can report about them. There's no point to engage further.

Now I will try to sleep with thoughts about my sister in Kyiv and my relatives in the occupation. That all of them will see tomorrow.

I wish everyone safe dreams but not Russia and Russian supporters (Iran, China, North Korea). Sweet dreams✨

i understand that ace attorney has many characters that simply NEED to be bullied and that sometimes things slip through the cracks but i really think that we as a fandom have been failing severely by not clowning more on kristoph’s hideous ass white shoes

[superantiship]

Do not incite paranoia by threatening people

Do not threaten paranoid people

Do not say “I’m in your walls”

Do not say “They can hear your thoughts”

Because nobody is in your walls, nobody can hear your thoughts. There is no such thing as a thought crime.

If you know someone that has paranoia and go out of your way to explicitly hurt them, you’re a SHITTY person.

This is not something to be proud of.

Fuck you.

Gabriel: I may only protect the good and the poor. When Han Da On chose to murder I could no longer protect him.

Bit Na, annoyed: but he hasn't killed anyone yet

Gabriel: for heaven's purposes, the thought counts. Denon it not, you are the only one who can protect him now.
