incest shipping is bad actually
this account is long abandoned but it still occasionally gets a bit of attention so i would just like to clear the air about the things i used to say when i was active on here:
first and foremost i no longer ship incest and i think it’s kind of fucked up if you do
i’m not exactly bothered by it, and i’m not gonna go harass people who still ship rickxmorty on account of the fact that it has no bearing on my life at all. But while my posts still float around out there, they continue to misrepresent how i feel about the topic now, and i want to clear that up.
i used to say “it’s a coping mechanism” in the face of criticism about rickxmorty, I was yet to learn that just because something’s a coping mechanism doesn’t mean it’s a good thing to do. This is an incredibly touchy subject and other people’s recoveries are none of my business so I’m just going to talk about my experience. I was a minor when i was active on this site and i kept that from pretty much everyone i interacted with. i was impressionable and traumatized and i was lead to believe that shipping incest was an appropriate way to process that. I’m an adult (on paper at least) now and I’ve been seeing a therapist and I’ve developed better ways to process my trauma. Looking back, these kinds of online spaces actually did very little to help me and probably put me at risk more than anything.
another little relic of c-137cest (are people still calling it that?) propaganda i used to spout is that “fiction doesn’t effect reality”. While i didn’t support this shit irl, my actions did not exist in a vacuum. A lot of other people with much more energy (and much better writing skills) have talked at length about this so I’ll leave it at that.
TL;DR: this used to be a Rick and Morty incest shipping blog, i now think that incest shipping is gross, drawing porn of underage characters is gross and also probably illegal, and when you “age up” these characters it’s still gross. we don’t arrest people for being gross but it’s still frowned upon, and when you get so buried in these kinds of communities and echo-chambers you tend to lose sight of what’s acceptable and what isn’t, god knows i did
