To be honest, if your knee-jerk response to a general critique of how incest, pedophilia, and rape culture can be perpetuated even through play, like fiction and kink is, "SO YOU’RE SAYING EVERYONE WHO READS XYZ IS A PEDOPHILE AND ENJOYING CNC MAKES ME A RAPIST AND I SHOULD BURN IN HELL?!?!?!?!? PURITAN!!!!!! OP IS AN ANTISHIPPING PURITAN WHO IS CENSORING US!!!!!!" You gotta unpack that.

No, I'm not saying that having that reaction means you are inherently evil. Nor am I saying that consuming a text or engaging with a fantasy automatically equates to real-world desire or intent. What I am saying is that leaping to "you're accusing me personally of being a monster" screams insecurity. It seems like you're afraid of being morally condemned, so you're projecting that onto anything that triggers a feeling of shame.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that a lot of the people fearmongering about "puriteens" this are frequently people who grew up in specifically American Christian communities or households, especially with the way they assume this is the norm for everyone else. If you were raised in an environment where "this is bad" basically meant "YOU are bad, repent" then hearing any kind of discussion seemingly condemning the things that you enjoy, even coming from a different place entirely, can feel familiar. Especially if it asks you to reflect on yourself in any way.

But since this hasn't been fully unpacked, people can end up recreating the same puritan moral structure on a different axis. Instead of "moral purity" being achieved through restriction and repetents, it becomes achieved through a performative posturing of "letting people do what they want." Criticism itself is basically impure contamination, because it's "telling us what to do," which becomes "impure," which becomes "evil."

That’s the same black-and-white, no-nuance moral reasoning. Just inverted to be countercultural to the harmful Puritanical beliefs, without actually taking away what makes them harmful to begin with. But counterculture isn't automatically progressive- shutting down discussion of rape culture and its normalization, just because thinking about it makes you feel bad, is, in fact, quite regressive.

It's a mentality based on "anything that makes me feel icky is evil."

Kinda like Puritanism.

I know this was probably not intentional on the show’s part, but #carisi wore the same tie to his first trial with Barba and to his first trial against Barba. I like to think my boy is sentimental like that. 17x09 vs 22x04
