i have thought a lot about censorship and what is “appropriate”. not a lot of people know this, but lolita was written to show what we allow on our bookshelves: there being no swear words in it meant it was free from censorship. a book about child molestation was allowed because it didn’t explicitly use the word “fuck”. he wrote it to show we don’t really care about protecting children, and it ended up being seen as a romance.
someone once told me - actually, many people have - that lgbt content isn’t appropriate for children. any content. not just kissing. i’m drowned in questions: “won’t the parents have to explain it?” “kids shouldn’t be thinking about sex at this age, or do you think differently?” “what will the kids think?”
at six i saw disney movies. people kiss and get married. i didn’t ask “what does that mean.” i didn’t ask “are those people going to have sex?” i didn’t ask anything, because i was six, and no six year old thinks twice about these things. nobody ever “explained” being straight to me, it was a fact, and it existed, and i was fine with that. why would being gay require a thesis, i wonder.
someone once told me that the one of the reasons people hate lgbt individuals is because they can’t see us as anything but sexual. we’re not people, so much as sinners. that they don’t see love, they see sex. just sex. it’s perversion, not a matter of the heart. only of the body.
i think i was in my early twenties before i saw someone like me.
how old were you, though, before you saw violence? before you saw sexual assault on tv? i think something like that is only pg-13, and if it’s implied, they can get away with anything. i remember watching things and learning about blood, but knowing sex - sex was what was really wrong. sex was always rated r. sex was always kind of a bad word. i was told a lot that i wasn’t ready.
i had a dream last night that i made a site where people could ask any question they wanted about sex and get answered by a professional. it was shut down in moments because 15 year olds wanted to know if it should hurt, if “double-bagging” was a real thing, if this, if that. we shudder. don’t let the children know about that!
but at thirteen i had seen enough violence it no longer struck me. i couldn’t say “fuck” but i knew that if you break your femur, you can bleed out internally in under half an hour. in school i wasn’t allowed to write about loving girls because what would the administration think - but i could write about wanting to kill myself and people would say how lovely, how blistering.
i have thought a lot about censorship. sometimes people on this site try it with me: don’t write this, don’t be so nasty. some of it is intrinsic. we know as people with a uterus not to complain about “that time of the month”, we know better than to talk about sexual assault (how shameful), we know that talking about a vagina is somehow scandalous. i can say “dick” and nobody questions me. some people only refer to the bottom half of me by “pussy”. they won’t wrap a mouth around “vagina” like it’s poison to them. even discussing this, that the language halts, that there’s an intrinsic desire to say “girls” instead of “women” - feels naughty, illicit. not for children.
the other day someone suggested i make my blog 18+. i said, okay, it deals a lot with depression and other problems that might be for a mature audience. oh no, they said, that’s not it, i think that’s helpful. i said, okay. so what is it then. well, you’re gay. you write about loving women. and i said, i don’t write about sex often and they said. it’s not about the sex. but wlw isn’t for a general audience. teenagers aren’t ready.
oh.
lolita is recommended for high school and up. i think about that a lot. i know girls who love it, who say it speaks to them on a deep level. it’s beautiful prose, after all. that was the whole point of the novel. something that looked like a rose but was intrinsically awful. i think about how if i was a model they’d want me to look young, thin, prepubescent. how my body would be sold and how through the mall i walk by images of barely-clothed women while mothers cannot breastfeed in public without fear of retribution.
i think about how i can write a novel about violence and it will be pg-13 but if my characters say “fuck” twice it’s inappropriate. i said fuck three times so far in this post, which makes it only appropriate for adults.
i think about that, and how my identity is something that people suggest lines up with a swear word. that people shouldn’t talk about it. that it’s a vulgarity. bad for children, harsh, confusing.
fuck. i love women. which one makes this only for those over eighteen.
This is such a powerful post. Read it fully, and spread it around.

“Are you saying that murderers are right in the head??”
No there’s definitely something wrong with someone’s way of thinking if they can justify killing innocent people, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that they have a mental illness.
Extremist beliefs isn’t a mental illness.
Bigotry isn’t a mental illness.
Entitlement isn’t a mental illness.
Hate isn’t a mental illness.
Having a dysfunctional moral compass isn’t a mental illness.
We need to stop categorizing all these things as some undefinable “mental illness” and start looking at what we do as a society to develop and justify these things to a degree where people use them to justify killing.
Yes!
Dehumanization is something you Have to look for. If the murderer doesn’t see the person they killed as a person, then mental illness is probably not the main factor there.
Plenty of people murder women, poc, lgbt people, people of other religions etc. because they don’t see them as people.
Think about genocides - they aren’t perpetrated by big group of people/a government who all got mentally ill together the same way at the same time somehow, they just didn’t consider what they did murder because they didn’t see the victims as people.
I’m probably going to wind up reblogging this more than once because it is really fucking important.
Okay so because of this
I HAVE to post this
Please SPREAD IMMEDIATELY
dont forget
Commissions
Hi! So I’ve been applying to jobs since summer started with very little luck, I’ve managed to scrape together a position at a store with no hours where I’m hired only as a replacement to people who can’t show up. While the job hunt continues, I’ve got my friend @/owocassio trying to take a very important trip that I’d like to be able to help him with financially, so I’m offering commissions!
Thumbnails - $3 Per Frame
These pieces mimic keyframes in animatics/animations OR just small drawings inspired by youtube thumbnails. There’s no extra cost for colour, and a single thumbnail doesn’t need to have a song if you’d just like a small drawing! For multiple frames, a song or comic script is appreciated! Please try to keep it to ten frames, but we can talk if you want more!
Headshots - $5 Per
A headshot or bust. Can be coloured or shaded at no cost difference.
Doodles - $3 Per Character
B/W only please!
Finished Pieces - $7 - $10 based on complexity
These pieces can be coloured and/or shaded, and have backgrounds or none! There’s no differing costs for half body/full body, etc, please just let me know what you’d like and we can work it out!
I will draw:
OCs
Furries
(Ask me about a digital reference sheet! I’ll send you examples and we can work out a price!)
Animals/Ferals
Monsters & Monstersonas for $2 extra
Feel free to ask about anything that’s not on the no list if you’re not sure!
I will not draw:
Fandom content (Fandom OCs are okay.)
NS/FW or nudity
Robots or mecha
Racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic etc. imagery or messages
Agegap (Minor/Adult) content or anything similar
Anything displaying or promoting abuse
You can email me at [email protected] Please put “Commission” somewhere in the subject because I’ve had issues in the past with emails being flagged as spam and deleted. Payment can be through Paypal (paypal.me/iliakos, or I can send payment request) or my Ko-fi.
Please consider commissioning me! It would be a great help both for the trip and for easing my dependence on my family. If you can’t help, please reblog! Thank you for reading!
Hey there! As some of you may already know, I recently opened up art commissions to help with the price of a trip I’m trying to take this August! I am doing this so as to take strain off my already struggling family!
In addition to art commissions, I have decided to open up planetary readings as well, for the same price: only $5. This will be an examination of the signs within your planetary birth chart, and will be done with as much care as I can put into it while still getting to you quickly!
I’ve done readings for both @exylsior and @swag-gull , both of which said my readings were accurate!
If you are interested, my inbox and messages are open, always!
If you would just like to donate a smaller amount, my PayPal is paypal.me/spencernmunson
friendly reminder that terf is in no way synonymous with lesbian and not all lesbians are terrible transphobic shitheads so stop saying that terf and lesbian are essentially the same thing please and thanks
