Safety reasons why radqueer is BAD (Mostly focusing on the effects towards minors around 13-15)
reminder to drink water, go to bed or take a break from the internet. ur health matters
This post is for awareness and is explicitly antiship, anti transid, anti radqueer and I do not want people to think I'm malicious. I'm doing this because this account is pretty much my awarenss of recovering radq/darkship victims. At times I may sound malicious or purposeful but that is because I actually have alot of trouble with this topic. I want to stop myself from falling back into it, so I surround myself with people who disagree with radqueer, endos and darkship.
I am a minor who has educated myself on this topic. The sources for this are my own experiences.
Transids, in some situations can be extreme either harmful to the body or delusional. People will use these "ids" as an excuse to harm their health, try and idealise disorders or "change their age" (literally just try age dreaming)
This mindset often causes radqueers to feel like their health is more of an identity or even an after thought than needs. (id know) These "identities" will often cross over into mental disorder / overall disorders territory especially with ones like TransAutism and TransPlurality. Not only will using a serious mental disorder as an identity desensitise that disorder to you and others around you, it will most likely make you more inclined to believing what others think about these "identities" in a positive light. This will often not lead to eithr gr//ming, enabling or manipulation of a young minor.
2. Desensitising Pedophilia.
Segue into the next topic, lets talk about Minor Attracted People (More commonly known as MAP)
Minor attracted people are adults, who are pedophiles. These pedophiles wanted to have their own "identity" so they forced themselves into the LGBT community by making a flag and coining the term (which is STUPID)
These MAPs often not target minors who say they are an Adult Attracted Minor. (Also commonly known as AAM) AAMs will seek out attention from these pedophiles and seek relationships with them. I've never seen one of these relationships actually work out, because an adult and a minor who CANNOT consent to a relationship with an adult will never be able to have a healthy relationship. This happens even with minors attracted to other minors. Especially young minors of 12-15. Seeing that, I wonder how these minors also end up being attracted to adults.
Darkshippers, often minors, get into situations where they join "safespaces" and share information about their favourite darkship.
What is a darkship, some may ask. Well, let me tell you. Darkships are where when someone ships something taboo, unconventional or illegal. For example, a human and an animal that cannot consent. The person willingly ships these two characters because they think "This human would be good in a pairing with a dog." Or, likely they'll also think, "I'm a zoophile, let me project onto this character I like and this character's pet. It will help me cope!" What are the differences between these two people's thought processes? The first is someone who ships these characters because its cute (Often referred to a 'Darkshipper who darkships for fun') and also because they find it freeing. The second person, however, uses darkships to cope. While, yes, for some darkshipping COULD help, I haven't seen anyone fully recover BY DARKSHIP. I've only seen people become worse by darkshipping. They project their weird fantasies onto characters in hopes that using fiction to cope works. It doesn't.
They make this excuse that "Fiction doesnt affect reality!" When it DOES. Sometimes, its situational. But Harry Potter fans buy merch of Harry Potter and that's only fiction? Why would they buy something based on fiction if it doesn't affect them?
Exactly, it does affect reality. Next argument.
I'm sure if you've been on darkshiptok for over a minute you've seen the combos 🎒🍭, 🧸🍯 and 🐰🎀. These emoji combos are Kodacon, Shotacon and Lolicon. If you're not chronically online, this probably sounds like nothing to you. Well, its not. Its being sexually attracted to young fictional characters.
Yeah, crazy amirite. Anywho, this ties into the "fiction doesn't affect reality" argument pretty goddamn well.
Kodacons often not say they aren't harming any real minors, but that would imply they themselves are over 18. Which most of them ARE NOT minors, do we realise that? They actively harm themselves by seeing younger minors (whether fictional or not) as sexual objects. They influence themselves into thinking that this is okay by repeatedly doing it, which has been proven to make people feel less guilty by doing something. Basically, manipulating themselves. This, if not stopped before 18 will do nothing good for what you think of young minors, maybe even developing a paraphilia. (MAP, Pedophilia or whatever you call it.)
I'm not going into endogenic systems its 3:30 am go away
