Nas has been spitting nothing but facts this week
These tags are important!
I am saying once again, censoring these racist homophobic trolls' Twitter handles is doing them a courtesy they don't deserve. They wanna be loud af with their hate, let their bosses and family members hear it too.
I am not policing anyone. I am saying that you have a moral responsibility (or at least you SHOULD) once you post something like that on the Internet. Warnings don't do shit. We all know that people are curious. Children are curious. No kid actually cares about the under 18 warning. They are impressionable and easily copy behaviour. I was like that, my friends were like that. I'm not saying don't post things like that. I'm just asking, are you ready to take responsibility for the aftermath?
You seem to be laboring under the misconception that I am responsible for internet teenagersā poor choices. Iām not. Neither is any content creator. Do you spend your free time going after the adult film industry and asking whether theyāre ready toĀ ātake responsibilityā for teenagers that deliberately ignore the 18+ notification and click through to their weird diaper fetish porn?
I was a teenager on the internet once (Iām not going to say back in the dayĀ because I have followers that were on Usenet and thatās REALLY back in the day). We didnāt used to have any kind of content warnings at all. I say this jokingly a lot but seriously, back in my day, you could trip over xeno tentacle non-con in the middle of a fic that didnāt look like it was going in that direction, and it wasnāt labeled at all. Ever! You know what wasĀ labeled and warned for, left right and center?Ā āThis story has slash in it! Thatās GAY KISSING!!!āĀ
Seriously though, there used to be a time when the fandom and fic-writing atmosphere was so toxic to same-sex relationships that the content was usually hidden behind a splash screen with an obnoxious warning in cyan comic sans. Sometimes there wereĀ āsecret instructionsā on the disclaimer page - people would hideĀ how to get into their website (āif you read the disclaimer youāll know to click on the ^_^ face in the bottom left corner of the page to get to the site!ā and such nonsense). I grew up in a time on the internet when it was easierĀ to find graphic torture porn and rape-as-woobifying-backstory than it was to find fluffy hand-holding fic with my gay OTP.
And all I can hear when yāall roll up allĀ āTHINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!ā is all the people who forced slash and femslash fans out of their archives, away from their internet space, and into the loosely-organized circle of Geocities webrings that defined fandom in the early 90s. Eventually we all started to congregate on LJ, where content could be locked behind a friends-only filter and people could gather in closed communities where we could be free from harassment by homophobic morons. When the Great Purge of FF.net happened and NC-17 was officially added to their rules as banned content, guess who was most reported to the moderators and most impacted by the policy change? Slash fans. And when Strikethrough happened, it disproportionately effected slash fans. Again.
Teenagers may not be old enough to have fully developed consequence/reward centers in the frontal lobe, but the average age for being able to discern reality from fiction is five years old. Itās horrifically condescending and disingenuous to pretend that teens are so delicate and fragile that reading some smut that disturbs them or isnāt to their tastes is going to drastically upset their psyche. The most thatās going to happen is theyāre going to come away from whatever smut they deliberately clicked through the warning to readĀ knowing that people have some weirdĀ kinks when it comes to sex. And you know what? YKINMKATO. The end.
We. Are. Not. Your. Mama.
I was an unsupervised teenager on the internet lo these many years ago. And I clicked on plenty of fanfic websites that wanted you to verify you were over 18,
You know what happened?
Nothing much. Sometimes Iād read something that made me feel weird and gross. Sometimes Iād close out of the window and clear the cache and stay off the computer and do something else for a day or two.
It says a lot, I think that I donāt actually remember the content of most of the fic in question. I remember the feeling, but from years later, I honestly couldnāt tell you most of the actual content that made me feel squicked and gross.
(I know the very first one I Noped out of when I was 11, because it was just, like. Ridiculously tame. But Hermione started to give Draco Malfoy a backrub, and I decided this was Inappropriate For Me. So I stopped reading it.)
I didnāt die.
It didnāt contribute to any of my myriad mental health issues - those are all either hereditary or a result of the actions of actual, real life people.
I didnāt ācopy behaviorā - the idea is laughable. I was a nerdy teenager with no IRL friends, you really think I was running out to ⦠what, exactly? Manipulate or torture people with Unforgivable Curses/dark magic/alien brain slugs/insert-setting-appropriate-evil-thing-here? Have an orgy?
Iāve made bad choices at different times in my life, but none of them were a result of fictional characters modelling bad behavior. (Mostly they involved me not knowing how to handle something, or not being very good at boundaries.)
The people responsible for ādealing with the aftermathā are the kids themselves, and their parents.
Lmao ur cute af lemme talk to you

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions
Anyone gonna mention how this guy actually preformed live with Carly Rae Jepsen?
Iām gonna scream is2g
I was thinking of reblogging this again just because the original video is still amazing, but then I see the second video and lost my mind. The upgraded fan, the body glitter, the sheer fact that he got to do this with the actual singer.
This is Mark Kanemura, heās worked closely with Gaga and been a finalist on So You Think You Can Dance twice. He didnāt āget to do thisā, she hired him and heās been in her music videos. Heās not just some nameless funny queer on the internet, say his damn name lol
