all im saying is that yall want a ronance kiss scene but i need a nancy finally allowing herself to finally be vulnerable and mourn the death of her best friend in front of somebody that truly understands her, robin. i need nancy to hug robin and hide her face against robin's neck or chest as robin cries quietly with her, hugging back as much as she can too. i need robin whispering "it's okay, let it out. i got you, nance. i got you. i wont leave you. i wont." as they continue to mourn and cry

thats what i need because quite frankly the only times i saw nancy mourn and cry for barb was either by herself or with jonathan who will never understand bcs he wasnt friends with barb like robin was.

You know I'm getting really tired of the overwhelmingly popular notion that sex offenders "have it too easy".

The Sex Offender Registry is public, anyone on it has every aspect of their personal information online, allowing vigilantes to track you down and kill you and when they do, the cops aren't going to investigate your murder. Furthermore, being put on the SOR commonly disqualifies you from any form of rent, home ownership, or employment and thus most sex offenders become homeless.

If a Sex Offender does go to prison, chances are they will be killed purely for being a sex offender as every inmate will assume they are a child molester. I remember reading a story of a 20 year old man who was mutilated beyond recognition in prison after being put on the SOR for having sex with his 17 yo girlfriend.

Contrary to popular belief, you can be put onto the Sex Offender Registry for a vast variety of reasons, not just raping a child so assuming that all Sex Offenders are child rapists is illogical. Any form of indecent exposure can land you on the SOR. Back in the 2010s, there was a Texas teen who streaked at a football game and was put on the SOR as a result. He committed suicide because the courts would not take his name off the registry and yes, btw, getting taken off the Registry is virtually impossible to do even if you have mountains of evidence proving your innocence.

Furthermore, the SOR never actually reveals what crime each person on it committed but the major news networks have firmly convinced the U.S Population that every sex offender is a child rapist.

In Colorado, registered sex offenders are not allowed to own photographs of family members who are minors, nor are they allowed to even speak to minors. In Wisconsin, a registered sex offender was barred from entering a hospital where his 9-year-old son was undergoing surgery on the basis that he might rape his son.

People seem to think that the legal system is too leniant on sex offenders simply because sex offenders aren't suffering the punishments people want them to suffer. Just because a sex offender isn't being executed by firing squadron, burned at the stake, pulled apart by horses, sent to the gallows or thrown in a pit with 1000 hungry rats doesn't mean they aren't being punished.

It really bothers me that so many leftists, especially Anarchists buy into this bullshit and vigilante justice.

“You’re Wrong About” did an episode on this in 2019, which reiterates this post, goes more in depth on some issues and gives more specific examples. Another good example is a man who was semi coherced into just admitting guilt to his case for owning child pornography. What had actually happened is this man downloaded a lot of porn from online, one of which featured a woman who was 17/16, which he didn’t know. Police convinced him the whole thing would be easier if he pleaded guilty and was registered, and it ruined his life. Landlords won’t rent to him, he can’t keep a job, and he can’t use a computer unless for things related to work, making living impossible.

As conservative fascism gets more intense we really do need to criticize and scrutinize our attitudes towards the SOR. What if skimpier clothing gets you hit with indecent exposure? Non-Hetero presenting PDA? And if stricter conservative laws put in place concerning public dress codes? As of 2022, 14 states still have not repealed their anti sodomy laws, even though the Supreme Court case Lawrence v Texas invalidates them. What if that ruling was repealed? Now, legally, any sex outside of procreation could mark you as a sex offender. And it’s no secret these laws are left ambiguous intentionally because they are used almost exclusively against queer sex. Meanwhile, you couldn’t criticize the SOR without being labeled as a child abuser advocate.

We have to pick about every peice of our social justice system, including sex offender laws.

Pleasantly surprised this didn’t have some kind of “gotcha!” at the end and brought up not only all the legitimate good points but also examples of exactly why this system does not work. Not only is it wrongfully punishing people who really don’t deserve it (seriously? Put on the sex offender list for streaking?), but we all know how easy it is for actual rapists to get away with even just a little bit of influence or money to wave around.

But people who panic and assume we just need harsher laws are the same people who pull out the Shirley Exception—“well surely if it was one of the above crimes, the person wouldn’t be put on the sex offender list!”

They were, tho.

[buddhawithoutorgans]

Sex workers are also routinely registered or have the threat of registration used against them, especially gay men

[zhooniyaa-waagosh]

I mentioned this recently already, but homeless people are also often registered as sex offenders for things like urinating in public (because they aren't allowed to use businesses' restrooms), having sex in tents, and even getting undressed in their cars.

honestly the degree to which I get so much more okay with people saying things in fandom when it’s stated as a preference rather than incontrovertible fact is kind of mind-blowing even to me

per that last post about headcanons it’s like. establishing your first principle that “yes this contradicts canon but I’ve decided to ignore that” is going to make me feel so much less inclined to get bitchy about something that feels like a willful misreading of the text

like, yes! this can be sort of frustrating and feel like you’re diluting yourself but honestly I think it goes a long way sometimes to just acknowledge that you’re having a specific type of conversation/approach rather than posing something as a universal truth presumed to be accepted without question

[rneliflua]

it’s also so much more refreshing and also important in creating a healthy fandom environment when people don’t pretend they are “fixing” the source material by coming up with reasons why their headcanons are superior to the canon either on a storytelling or a political level. headcanons don’t need to justify their existence by being either canon-compliant or better than canon, there is value in just being fun to the people coming up with them.

there are lines between happiness being a lie, and being a choice, and being a defense. they are easily blurred and can be more than one at a time, but there are differences. like the nuance between a full on lie and a little inside joke

and i think we're slowly, slowly unravelling where Laudna is on that scale.
