your weird obsession with moral purity is degrading your critical thinking skills and poisoning your ability to empathize with other people btw

#why those things specifically 💀💀💀

For the same reason Godwin's law exists. They weaponize rape and incest [and usually also pedopihlia] to make an unwinnable argument.

If you call your opponent a pedophile, who is gonna speak up that maybe you're wrong? That clearly just means they're a pedophile, too.

It also means nothing the person ever said can be correct - not even whether sky is blue, because you don't want to besaying the same things a pedophile said, do you?

It's the same ideaology as TERFs obsessing over 'evil trannies sneaking into bathrooms to rape little girls', or 'icky prochoicers using abortion as birth control'. They lap an extreme people are uncomfortable discussing, let alone arguing, and pretend that means they wont the discussion.

I've been saying this in discussions around censorship for years.

When you say "all censorship is bad" and someone retorts "What about incest?" or "what about rape content?" they are trying to rhetorically back you into a corner where you cede your argument, not because you've been convinced or gained a new perspective, but because they're intimidating you with the prospect of social backlash.

[zillyblog]

once you cede your argument in any way (say, with fictional incest) fascists have their foot in the door.

once you cede that one kind of fiction is evil, fascists will take that same logic and apply it to everything else.

this is "think of the children" pearl clutching about trans and queer folk, D&D, video games, etc etc etc. it's weaponized fascism and you're falling for it by moralizing fiction and policing thoughts.

this doesn't mean you can have personal taste or triggers, that we shouldn't age-restrict things, tag them with warnings, or think critically about how we (individuals and society) ingest media. that doesn't mean disregarding the fact that fiction can affect reality.

it just means acknowledging the fact that you can't know a person's thoughts. all fiction can be harmless and good for something, for someone, somewhere. instead of letting fear and disgust drive your reaction, flex that empathy and sympathy and reconcile that there are minds out there that you don't understand--and that doesn't make them evil.

You cannot have “some” censorship.

I’m not going to defend the “merits” of lolicon, because yeah I personally and need it to stay far away from me, but I will point out that

As I understand it, a good bit of it comes from CSA survivors working out their own shit, and

Art being ugly or repugnant or in poor taste is not a valid reason for a government to outlaw it.

That first point is one you didn’t even consider, was it. Someone should make a post about that. 🤔

No matter how repulsive you or I or anyone may find it, it is a fact that no actual child is getting sexually assaulted in the process of its creation, and I will fistfight IRL anyone who belittles the real actual trauma that my fellow CSA survivors and I by saying a fucking cartoon drawing is the same thing.

(Gen “AI” CSEM slop is different here because 1) it’s not art, full stop, and 2) using real photos/video of real people to create non-consensual porn of them IS a violation of a real person and DOES cause harm.)

Or maybe it’s just that you don’t know the difference between moderation and censorship.

Moderation is when a discrete group—a website, a chat group, a forum, a Discord server, a debate club, etc—says “don’t do this, it’s against the rules” or “if you’re going to do this it has to satisfy these other rules too” (tagging, warnings, using a certain channel, etc). Violating it can get you thrown out of the group.

Censorship is when a government says “don’t say/publish/draw/air that, it’s against the law.” Censorship is book bans and “don’t say gay” laws. Violating it can get you thrown in prison.

There’s a difference and it’s an important one.

@thelittlewyrm babes I'm doing the thing! Your art has inspired me to dust off my rather mediocre editing skills to turn your incredible artwork into a celeb gossip mag cover…

This will go with the fic I'm writing based off your art. Just the outline is over 2k words at the moment so it might be a bit of a long one 😅

Robert giving Flambae something to look at

I should really draw Simon Ironlung x Ryland Grace bc it was MY idea but I’m too sleepy so everyone needs to pretend I did draw it and pretend I posted art under this of them kissing
