in light of discord’s new censorship rules i just wanna remind everyone why i post relatively vanilla byler smut on the same ao3 account that i might engage with more controversial stuff (fictional incest etc). it’s because fascists see all of this as the same. we don’t have to like it, but we have to let people post the fictional stuff that they want, because the thing you like is next.
let’s put something in perspective: under discord’s new guidelines, if i wanted to talk about my byler fic in there, i could get in serious legal trouble. even if a sfw byler creator posts art of, say, byler making out or something in discord, they could get in serious legal trouble. this isn’t normal, it’s part of a global trend in which platforms are cowering from the right wing governments that want to erode free speech from queer people & women.
that said, you guys on here have been extremely respectful to me in this regard so im not worried, but if you find yourself wondering why you keep running into freaks like me in the spicy byler space, this is why! the right to spicy byler post and the right to post stuff that you find gross are one and the same. you don’t have to engage with it, but i appreciate being able to coexist while we continue the fight for free speech.
