Next time antis are being, well, antis, show them this:
So a child came to you with concerns and criticism, and rather than ignoring said criticism because it wasnโt relevant to the fan work (taking your word for this), you decided to belittle them and imply their parents should be monitoring their internet use.
Cool. Cool thing you did there. Cool way for an adult to treat a child.
I wonder how theyโre going to respond the next time they see something fucked up in fandom, or worse, experience it. Like the rampant sexual harassment and assault at conventions. Do you think theyโre going to talk to an adult? Or do you think theyโre going to internalise it as just part of the fandom and their fault for showing up?
But hey, you sure showed that middle-schooler.
If a child came to OP with concerns and criticism about adult content they shouldnโt be viewing, then their parents should be monitoring their internet usage because they arenโt obeying rating based restrictions.
If a 12 year old snuck into see Deadpool or It and then complained to the threats about it, the theater would probably call their parents and report them for sneaking into an R rated movie.
Ratings are their for a reason.
Also, โtalk to your parents/other trusted adultโ if something upsets you is good advice. OP is telling them they need to talk to an adult, their parents, not a stranger on the internet.
If an adult has a problem with a childโs behavior offline, a light warning and speaking to the parents is how it goes, nothing odd about that. But online, as much as we would like to have an adult conversation about how little Timmy needs to stop peeking in neighborโs windows because heโs not ready to understand swinging and pony play yet and besides heโs breaking the law, we have to interact with the children themselves in a more direct fashion. We have to rely on them to ask their parents to step up and parent, and thatโs more responsibility than some of them want to handle.
What I do find ironic about this entire situation is that the children donโt hesitate to demand that the adult fans treat them like the children they are, but when we do, theyโre upset. They donโt want, โThe sign means โstay outโ Timmy,โ or โIโm going to have to talk to your mother, Timmy,โ but โPour the booze down the toilet, babyproof the house and turn the whole world into a Zero Tolerance zone because Timmy exists.โ For a group thatโs so staunchly anti-kink, theyโre very into ageplay and topping from the bottom.
โโฆthe children donโt hesitate to demand that the adult fans treat them like the children they are, but when we do, theyโre upset.โ
T H A T is the fucking truth right there. I get sick of hearing โIโm a minor, itโs your responsibility as an adult to protect me from seeing bad things!!โ and then when my response is โstay away from my blog, stay away from my AO3, and if you arenโt old enough to be seeing occasional porn then tumblr isnโt a good place for you because itโs a poorly designed website and youโre gonna stumble on that shitโ, then Iโm still not doing my job.
what the fuck do you expect me to do? I really wanna know. other than tagging and slapping big, obvious warning labels on anything I post, I want to know what Iโm expected to do to protect minors with internet access.
See, what I think is happening is that they REALLY want to not have to see the age-inappropriate things they PERSONALLY donโt like, without having to put in any effort to avoid said things. If their parents start monitoring their computer stuff, they wonโt be able to see the age-inappropriate stuff they DO want to see. After all, if NSFW stuff is properly tagged, they shouldnโt have been able to see it in the first place unless they were already looking for NSFW things, right?
This.
Warnings are posted for a reason. As a content creator, the extent of my responsibility is to appropriately rate and tag things that have potentially upsetting content. Avoiding those things is the responsibility of the consumer, not the creator.
If I forget to tag something, by all means, let me know! But donโt complain to me when something tagged with tw: gore contains graphic violence.
Once again: this is a kid walking into the front bar of a pub, and being shocked, shocked, I tell you, that alcoholic beverages are on sale.ย (Oh, and how dare the bartender tell them theyโre going to have to present ID in order to be served!)
If you choose, of your own accord, to go into the adult place marked with the sign saying โadults onlyโ and to click โyes, Iโm an adultโ on the warning that pops up before you get to see anything, then yes, the site owners are within their rights to presume you are capable of dealing with whatever shows up as a result.ย
This is still a subject that never fails to baffle me, especially since itโs so new. Fifteen years ago, it didnโt work like that and I am honestly curious about how did it changeโฆ

Misha Collins
This weekend I was told a story which, although Iโm kind of ashamed to admit it, because holy shit is it ever obvious, is kind of blowing my mind.
A friend of a friend won a free consultation with Clinton Kelly of What Not To Wear, and she was very excited, because she has a plus-size body, and wanted some tips on how to make the most of her wardrobe in a fashion culture which deliberately puts her body at a disadvantage.
Her first question for him was this: how do celebrities make a plain white t-shirt and a pair of weekend jeans look chic?ย She always assumed it was because so many celebrities have, by nature or by design, very slender frames, and because they can afford very expensive clothing.ย But when she watched What Not To Wear, she noticed that women of all sizes ended up in cute clothes that really fit their bodies and looked great.ย She had tried to apply some guidelines from the show into her own wardrobe, but with only mixed success.ย So - what gives?
His answer was that everything you will ever see on a celebrityโs body, including their outfits when theyโre out and about and they just get caught by a paparazzo, has been tailored, and the same goes for everything on What Not To Wear.ย Jeans, blazers, dresses - everything right down to plain t-shirts and camisoles.ย He pointed out that historically, up until the last few generations, the vast majority of people either made their own clothing or had their clothing made by tailors and seamstresses.ย You had your clothing made to accommodate the measurements of your individual body, and then you moved the fuck on.ย Nothing on the show or in People magazine is off the rack and unaltered.ย He said that what they do is ignore the actual size numbers on the tags, find something that fits an individualโs widest place, and then have it completely altered to fit.ย Thatโs how celebrities have jeans that magically fit them all over, and the rest of us chumps canโt ever find a pair that doesnโt gape here or ride up or slouch down or have about four yards of extra fabric here and there.
I knew that having dresses and blazers altered was probably something they were doing, but to me, having alterations done generally means having my jeans hemmed and then simply living with the fact that I will always be adjusting my clothing while Iโm wearing it because I have curves from here to ya-ya, some things donโt fit right, and the world is just unfair that way.ย I didnโt think that having everything tailored was something that people did.ย
Itโs so obvious, I canโt believe I didnโt know this.ย But no one ever told me.ย I was told about bikini season and dieting and targeting your โproblem areasโ and avoiding horizontal stripes.ย No one told me that Jennifer Aniston is out there wearing a bigger size of Ralph Lauren t-shirt and having it altered to fit her.
I sat there after I was told this story, and I really thought about how hard I have worked not to care about the number or the letter on the tag of my clothes, how hard I have tried to just love my body the way it is, and where Iโve succeeded and failed.ย I thought about all the times Iโve stood in a fitting room and stared up at the lights and bit my lip so hard it bled, just to keep myself from crying about how nothing fits the way itโs supposed to.ย No one told me that it wasnโt supposed to.ย I guess I just didnโt know.ย I was too busy thinking that I was the one that didnโt fit.
I thought about that, and about all the other girls and women out there whose proportions are โwrong,โ who canโt find a good pair of work trousers, who canโt fill a sweater, who feel excluded and freakish and sad and frustrated because they have to go up a size, when really the size doesnโt mean anything and it never, ever did, and this is just another bullshit thing thrown in your path to make you feel shitty about yourself.
I thought about all of that, and then I thought that in elementary school, there should be a class for girls where they sit you down and tell you this stuff before you waste years of your life feeling like someone put you together wrong.
So, I have to take that and sit with it for a while.ย But in the meantime, I thought perhaps I should post this, because maybe my friend, her friend, and I are the only clueless people who did not realise this, but maybe weโre not.ย Maybe some of you have tried to embrace the arbitrary size you are, but still couldnโt find a cute pair of jeans, and didnโt know why.
This post is one of those things that I will reblog every time it appears on my dash.ย This is so important, and no one ever tells you about it.
I almost didnโt read this but then I did and Iโm really glad that I did.
Super important
Tldr: The reason clothes never โlooked right on youโ is because models and celebrities always had their clothes tailored to fit them perfectly.
I love this post but it always frustrated me just a little because I canโt even afford to buy new clothes let alone get the clothes I have tailored. But then I remembered that a lot of things are easier to do than you think they will be, so hereโs some resources on how to alter your own clothes!
Please read this, itโs an opportunity to learn about yourself, possibly a new skill and why it isnโt you, itโs the industry.
