honestly lol
protecting children is not a slippery slope toward total authoritarian censorship
online fandom was a huge part of my early self-expression, but there were (and still are) communities that hold pleasure so sacred that their ‘anything goes’ policy lets groomers, manipulators, and racists run rampant, and it left childhood scars ngl
it doesn’t have to be censure OR freedom; creativity can coexist with moderation without limiting the art or restricting exploration of darker subjects
looking out for younger folks isnt a punishment its just a part of growing up
