Was chatting with @revolvius about human variants so I decided to redesign the Emergence cast in aggie! I never locked in so hard before
OH MY LORD THESE ARE THE MOST KISSABLE BASTARDS I HAVE EVER SEEN
Wow, Sludge's responses to you are so agressive for no reason. Honestly makes me wanna unfollow them, their art is not worth that horrible personality
definitely off putting, but i can understand their frustration, im not the best at getting my ideas across
finally deciding to take a stance on the whole proshipping discourse, leaning towards proshipping being fine, but doing my research
why are you on the proship side? i also notice that you seem really antagonistic towards antis
im on the proship side because the alternative is capitulation to the puritanical arm of fascism, and ive linked to another rant from my personal blog about that. but other more empirical documentation on this is found all over the proship tags. my personal blog also tends to share a lot of writing about it, but i also dont tag very well over there. so, you might have to scroll through honest leftist theory, Palestinian solidarity info, transfeminine justice, and disability justice resources to find the "fake people kissing is fine actually" posts. terribly sorry.
essentially, every criticism levied toward "problematic" fiction is ignorant, unwittingly or otherwise, to the material circumstances which make that thing a problem in the first place. for example, what an anti would point to as a glorification of rape culture would only ever affect the world in the way they claim if those who rape have ever historically considered fiction a driver of their actions. trying to suggest that this contributes to rape culture only abdicates the parties truly at fault, namely the purveyors of patriarchy (which already has a pretty significant relationship to fascism). it offloads blame from them and onto whoever they feel like blaming.
letting this fester, quietly aided by much smarter, more deliberate fascists, is how we get people in government who think every trans woman is a pedophile. to the uninitiated, that might seem like absurdity, and an enormous jump in logic, but this tends to be the pedantic nature of studying the world from a leftist perspective. we have enemies, truly, who have spent a great deal of time weaving terrifyingly complex webs of oppression. many things that an uninformed individual might assume are innocuous, or even beneficial, are only made to look that way to avoid suspicion. another stark example of this is the non-profit industrial complex.
so, the reason i am antagonistic toward antis is because they're paving the way for nazis, whether they want to realize that or not. the simple logic of "making what you consider deplorable fiction does not meaningfully hurt anyone by its own merit, and people will never stop making icky fiction" is completely swerved in favor of listening to the people around them who swear that their gut reaction is justification to hurt real people.
though i see you saying you presently only "lean toward" thinking proshippers are justified, so id like to ask: what specifically ever made you think that antis might have a point?
"lean toward" at this point is pretty much having made up my mind, so heres my stance:
normalization is a real thing. I think that glorification of anything that is explicitly harmful in the real world does some amount of harm, at the very least meaning that the glorifier views something like rape in a positive light. And at worst it can and does change large amounts of peoples' minds- look how naziism is being normalized right now. Tons of people are heading towards fascist ideology because there is a large movement of glorification directed at fascist and nazi ideas, whether this be in fiction or just peoples' real opinions.
however. most proshipping is not glorification. It is people making and enjoying their own creative work and using "problematic" things as a narrative device. And I say 'most' as partially a copout because some people who really and truly believe rape or pedophillia is okay could 'proship' as a way of trying to legitimize their ideas, which 1(using fiction to justify real world actions is not logically sound and an inneffective method of persuasion, and 2(the problem isnt actually the proshipping, its the legitimate belief behind it.
a good analog to proshipping would be kinks. some people do derive pleasure from things in the real world that would be harmful, and a healthy way to engage with that is through roleplay- fiction. i dont say this because i think all proshippers do it for sexual reasons, because they dont. but kinks are generally accepted as okay when it is fictional and in a safe environment, which is exactly what proshipping is.
so, proshipping is okay. saying otherwise is like saying videogames cause violence
it blows my mind how clean over your head my entire last post seems to have gone. like, congrats, you engaged in critical thinking long enough to stumble and subsequently faceplant into the right answer, but your bonus stipulations along the way are short sighted as fuck. don't expect the half-ass understanding to be good enough.
when i try to tell you that the criticisms of taboo fiction are almost always ignorant of the material conditions which create the part they're criticising, your response is... to assert that SOME niche fiction is "normalizing" despicable action.
like, whats with your fantastical imagining of someone who reads so much noncon fanfic that they start thinking its actually a good thing? even if this were even remotely a concern, the issue STILL is not the fiction itself. this hypothetical individual would have had to skate cleanly around literally every other ideal social mechanism in place to teach them that the taboo thing they goon to is, in fact, taboo. they would have to dodge every possible reminder of what is immoral and how fiction fails to guide reality. i remember my grandpa using this logic to say that his grandson shouldn't be allowed to read comic books or else he'll jump off a roof. the sheer dissonance of seeing you say "video games don't cause violence" while failing to apply that same logic to this particular topic is alarming.
unless you love Freud for whatever fucked up reason, you can't be trying to suggest that humans are so strongly driven by the subconscious mind that they would naturally start acting on these supposed "positive associations" with absolutely no other influencing factors at play. its childish, and you need to reckon with the possibility that what you're basing this off of is not rooted in anything more concrete than incest fics making you uncomfy.
finally, here's a hard pill: even proship content made by people who actually do materially horrible things is not, itself, causing an issue. the fallacy here is that you think there's some exception to my assertion that deplorable fiction does not meaningfully hurt people on its own merit. all the terrible things you like to imagine happening as a result of their mere existence will always be the result of factors outside of the fiction itself. its all or nothing; everyone is free or no one is. with how you assert your stance now, all it takes is someone convincing you that someone fits into your little "exceptions" for you to be weaponized against innocent people.
stop dawdling and catch up for the love of god because this shit is entry level leftism, folks. i really gotta wonder how some of you would react to abolition activists...
alright, first off
1st paragraph: why are you so angry? i am completely willing to be taught and corrected about any opinion i stated or have, and completely willing to clear up misunderstanding
2nd+3rd paragraph: you misunderstood me, and i can see i worded it poorly. i do not think that fiction itself is causing any of these problems. i think that people who have those real harmful opinions should be called out and criticized, and they may choose to voice that opinion through problematic fiction. however the problem is the opinion not the medium. however, you seem to place a lot of trust in social mechanisms, and i wonder how you think these social mechanisms are interacting with fascism and bigotry. people who are constantly fed alt right ideas through media (including fiction) can start believing them- thats the alt right pipeline. So this same logic can be applied to proshipping, although real examples of romanticizing abuse are much rarer that fascist ideology.
4th paragraph: did not say this. could you tell me where you drew this from? also incest fics are fine, and incest is also one of the culturally taboo things that i think isnt neccedarily based on much besides inbreeding, and so arguably real life incest is also fine
5th paragraph: i said it poorly, but i agree completely with this. i think real opinions can be harmful and should be called out (again, fascism we seem to agree on) but they almost never intersect with proshipping. i have the problem with the opinion and/or actions, never the person or the fiction.
6th paragraph: i assume youre talking about prison abolition, and im all for it
