⚠️‼️ my content is usually kpop centered- fanfics etc. But this needs to be talked about- because i feel like there’s more important topics to protest about than Heeseung leaving enhypen and whatnot.
just spent an hour reporting pedophiles advertising child abuse material under a little girl’s comment section.
I get it, and i respect the work OT7s are doing but this level of dedication should also be applied to other causes.
every day i see people mobilize thousands of notes, threads, hashtags, and campaigns over celebrity discourse. who’s dating who, who deserves an apology, who should leave a group, who looked at someone the wrong way during an award show.
meanwhile there are literal children online being treated like fucking prey, and it barely gets talked about outside of the people directly affected by it.
i’m not saying people can’t care about entertainment. clearly i do too. but sometimes i look at the amount of energy we collectively pour into fandom drama and wonder what would happen if even a fraction of that outrage was directed toward protecting actual kids.
i don’t know. maybe i’m just angry. maybe i’m tired but when tf are things going to change?
every time i think i’ve seen the worst of the internet, i stumble across something that proves me wrong. hundreds of comments. links being dropped in plain sight. grown adults treating a child’s page like a motherfucking hunting ground.
what’s even more disturbing is how visible it all is. ts is not hidden away in some dark corner of the internet, but sitting right there for anyone to see. people report it, platforms remove some of it, and then ten more accounts appear the next day
when are platforms gonna start treating the safety of children as an actual priority instead of something they react to after the damage is already done?
children are being abducted/ trafficked everyday all day and somehow NOTHING is fucking moving and this upsets me beyond words.
so there’s one question i ask and it’s : what the fuck are authorities doing???
if you’re reading this and wondering what you can actually do:
• report accounts, comments, and links that target children. it takes a few seconds, but those reports do matter.
• don’t ignore it because “someone else will handle it.” that’s exactly how harmful content stays up for days, weeks, or even months.
• if you see a child being flooded with predatory comments, let a parent, guardian, or trusted adult know if possible.
• report websites and accounts that appear to be distributing child abuse material to the appropriate authorities in your country. in many places, there are dedicated reporting platforms for exactly this purpose.
• educate yourself on online safety and talk about it. predators thrive when people are uncomfortable discussing the issue.
• most importantly, don’t scroll past it. i know it’s upsetting. i know it’s easier to pretend you didn’t see it. but children don’t get the luxury of scrolling away from the people targeting them.
you don’t need to become an activist overnight. you don’t need a huge platform. sometimes helping starts with taking five minutes to report something that everyone else ignored.
and if enough people did that, maybe these people wouldn’t feel so comfortable operating in broad daylight.
