Yes, the death penalty is bad because it hurts innocent people, but it's also bad just because the government shouldn't be allowed to kill guilty people either.

You're not as kink positive as you think you are if you view subs and doms differently when they're talking about their desires. You're not as kink positive as you think you are if you look at a person saying "I want to be choked" as okay, but you get uncomfortable with someone saying "I want to choke my partner."

Just say yall don't think women have actual autonomy and move it

[brettdoesdiscourse]

Say it with me now. They're not a narcissist, they're just abusive. They're not a narcissist, they're just inconsiderate. They're not a narcissist, they're just mean. They're not a narcissist, they're just manipulative. They're not a narcissist, they're just selfish. They're not a narcissist, you just had a bad experience/relationship with them.

There are so many words to describe what you actually mean that does not involve being ableist.

Unfriendly reminder that women are autonomous beings who can, in fact, consent to participating in kink. Claiming women can't actually consent as a feminist concept is not only sexist, but it is incredibly infantilizing.

I fear y'all have gotten a bit too detached from everything women's rights fought for in the early days. "Let women be horny" was a very real thing that was fought for. It was seen as some radically feminist (not in the transphobic way y'all use it) stance and it still should be.

Sexual autonomy is so, so important to the liberation of all marginalized groups. Policing how someone has sex with consensual partners will never be anything other than weird.

I do think the popularity of antis being fine with violence is a symptom of how normalized violence is in our current society. So many antis don't seem to realize that violence is a dark theme and I can't deny how socially normalized violence in media is plays a role in it. It's to the point where it's kind of like "it's not dark, it's just a normal part of media."

And of course, there's nothing wrong with violence in fiction, but it's disturbing how so many people do not realize a ship with fictional murderers IS still a dark ship. You can't sit there and pretend to hate dark ships while actively liking them.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to create a moral reason to dislike that ship. Hell, you don't need any reason to dislike that ship. You can just dislike it. It doesn't need to be a moral debate.
