Friends described living under the Trump Administration as being slowly beaten to death by a rubber chicken.
It still hurts. It's still painful. But you keep hearing a synthetic BAWWW every time it hits you as a constant reminder of how it's the stupidest possible way to die.

I've grown a mouth so sharp and cruel
It's all that I can give to you, my dear
And when you come in quick to steal a kiss
My teeth will only cut your lips, my dear

it is pretty hilarious though that 5 seconds after discovering she’s a clone and suffering a mental breakdown madelyne was like yeah how bout a career in politics
The funny thing about the X-Men famous battle cry is that it's a fairly recent addition. Although Xavier said something similar way back in X-Men #1 ("And now, return to me, my X-men"), he didn't use that exact phrase until Grant Morrison's New X-Men in 2001. Even after that it was only used sporadically. It wasn't until around 2013 that it entered regular use. This is why it was never used in the original animated series or any of the movies.

there was backlash from homeschooling "parents rights" advocates in my area before because of a daycare teaching kids about consent...all they learned is that you don't have to accept unwanted physical intimacy. one scenario that happened is a parent told her toddler boy to kiss a toddler girl in class. toddler boy comes back and says that toddler girl didn't want a kiss. it turns out the kids were taught that you don't touch someone if they say "no". parents thought this was ridiculous. I felt crazy hearing them talk about it, why in the world would you be upset by kids respecting each others boundaries, and why are you asking your toddlers to kiss each other in the first place as if they're toys and not human beings?

If the idea of consent gets in the way of total obedience then consent is the thing a lot of adults would rather discard.
Took off the person's Twitter screenshot since they want me to, but they strongly believe it is not common for minors to be negatively affected by fandom content of kids shipped with adults, at least not enough that adults should feel any responsibility at all about where they post it.
So feel free to add all the thoughts you want in notes, and if you'd rather be anonymous here's a poll (if you've never seen any such thing happening just skip it)
does fan content shipping adults with minors ever dangerously normalize that dynamic to real minors in those fandoms??
no, not enough to be a concern
I've seen it happen
It happened to me
Here's the thing. Fandom uncritically shipped adult/minor pairings during my entire childhood. No one batted an eye until about 2015ish, when it became this Huge Massive Discourse Moral Panic. Our children are being groomed by fanworks! Fanworks are normalizing pedophilia!
So where are all the Millennial victims? We were kids seeing these ships and not thinking a thing of it. Where are the gen X victims?
Where are the victims in general? Everyone seems to have a friend of a friend of a friend this happened to. Why aren't they speaking up? Why aren't people sharing their story independently, rather than using it as a throwaway gotcha when all their other arguments fail? Why can't they ever name the people who groomed them using ships? Where is the evidence that shipping is a somehow unique tool of grooming that does more inherent harm than all others - including actual CSEM?
Where's the irl uptick of adult/minor relationships? How does this account for the growing distrust surrounding irl age gap relationships becoming the mainstream opinion? Normalizing something means it becomes normal. Why isn't it actually becoming normal?
How is it that "critically consuming media" has become the word of the day, yet it's led to fans being LESS able to differentiate what's okay in a fanwork vs what's appropriate in real life? Why are the people who handwring about this the most always the ones outed as predators?
It's because, just as in all other cases of "save the children" moral outrage, it's a fake problem that feels good to "solve." Bullying people online over ships feels better than addressing the root issue -- keeping children safe online -- which has a much less glamorous solution -- educating on & normalizing safe internet practices. It's also a convenient way to get everyone looking at a scapegoat while the real creeps get to hide behind appearing wholesome.
You guys are ruining your lives and everybody else's over ship wars on steroids. Get a life.
“Why are you so upset about adult content bans? You don’t even post that stuff. can’t you just look at porn somewhere else?”
Well, you see, I have this small problem where my very existence is considered adult content by a small but very powerful group of people and I actually rather enjoy being able to exist in public without restriction so uhhhh put that in your bong and smoke it kiddo.
Extremely good point
