I think for a lot of white people, when you call them out on their casual racism (microagressions and non-overt things), they see it as a case of hurt feelings from your point of view as opposed to a discussion of harmful practices that aid the vehicle of racism. So in response, they take it as a personal attack, rather than a learning experience, and go on the defensive by bringing up a time that you made them upset as leverage. Or they defend their actions by doubling down on the behavior at hand and dismissing your criticism as over sensitivity and emphasizing their “harmless” intent. And I think that is one of the reasons why it’s so hard to address casual and interpersonal racism with the general white population (and also other poc tbh).

I find this pairing fascinating since both have previous lives and were both god/human at some point— like they barely missed each other, it’s oddly poetic

[RAPE TW] okay ive got one for irresistible mistakes (on voltage's l365 app). overall its actually one of the better games in regards to healthy relationships with the mc, but the beginning is so shady. basically the premise is mc gets drunk one night and she doesn’t know who she slept with & you choose which love interest from there. but the thing is mc is inebriated to the point that she cant remember anything and is just incapable of giving consent and the fact that in most routes, if (1/3)

not all, the povs show us that the love interest is much more sober and in control and yet they still go along with it. its just gross especially when it’s pinned on mc—she flirted with me first so its ok I’m doing this etc. i get that they played with this idea to provide an interesting premise: “who did she sleep with?” but the implications behind making her completely smashed and unknowing of what happened that (2/3)

one night is such… bad taste. they frame it as romantic rather than as something dangerous. this is really my only criticism with the game because it does have better written characters than other voltage games which are notorious with trope-y exaggerated characters (im subverts a lot of them! and all love interests are actually very respectful to mc in their interactions and treat her as an equal, funny thats rare with voltage games) but yes, just a warning with the beginning/prologue!

***at least with go’s and shunichiro’s routes. i think toma gets just as smashed as mc and they both get lost in it together, but with the other two yeah. not sure about the others

Yeah, I’m familiar with Irresistible Mistakes! I’ve never played it, but I’ve heard good things about it!

But, yeah, that is…horrible, like even the good games have things in them that are really just…indescribably bad. I can’t believe I have to say this but rape is bad! End of story! There’s nothing “romantic” about it!

[thebales]

Why are you such a coward, and such an angry, angry person? I'm not trying to belittle or undermine anything that's happened to you in your life. For anything that you've gone through, I'm very sorry. You're just such an angry, cowardly person, and I was just curious as to why.

[thebales]

1. stop calling me claire, we’re not friends idk who you are

2. i’m not open to discussion. the safety of children and common sense that you shouldnt whack it off to them and rape and abuse is not up for debate so fuck off

[lunaeregia]

um!

tbh! im ready for fandom culture to die because y'all broads don’t know how to act like functioning adults with at least an iota of basic human decency or common sense! y'all find a group of 3 other freaks who are into the same backwards shit that y'all into and y'all internalize it and make it a part of y'all identity, so whenever somebody criticizes how fundamentally wrong your kink/ship/fetish/etc is, y'all start feeling oppressed lmao. y'all out here fostering pedophiles, rapists, racists, etc. in your community because everybody else outside of yalls circle jerk echo chamber at least got some form of morals. im so over “geek/nerd/weirdo/whatever the fuck” culture because y'all seriously think deviating as far from whats socially acceptable makes y'all some big brain gods or some shit and that’s. hm.

[foulserpent]

tell people irl who have  jobs and friends and dont have lives dominated by fandom that you spend all your time online campaigning against people who think its weird to draw and write pornography of rape and children, and how you think having rape and pedophilia fetishes is okay because you use fiction to enact it. dont tell a white lie about how youre against ~censorship~ or crap like that, actually describe what youre supporting. if you dont completely lie or mince your words to the point of dishonesty, youre gonna come to the harsh realization that pretty much all normal human beings who arent complete wastes of flesh are what you consider “antis”

[anarcho-smarmyism]

all adults have a responsibility toward the safety+well-being of all children they’re around, irl and online. i can’t believe this #hot take is controversial like. at all

[mrwarped-deactivated20181204]

regardless of real life or the internet the health and well being is only ever the responsibility of:

A.)The child’s parent/guardian/caretaker.

B.)Themselves.

[grumpydevilfellow]

It’s called doing the right thing and not being a tool about it.

[mrwarped-deactivated20181204]

being a good parent means keeping an eye on your own damn kids or having them taken care of by someone who can. While i would certainly take steps to keep a child from danger it is most certainly NOT my responsibility.

[anarcho-smarmyism]

there will always be some kids whose parents don’t do that. there will always be situations where kids are vulnerable to the other adults in their lives -family members, friends of the family, teachers, the world at large. children don’t just stay inside doing only what their parents allow them to do even when they do have good and responsible parents, and if they did it would be genuinely bad for their brain development anyways. 

what about gay and trans kids with homophobic parents who send their kids to conversion therapy, resulting in lifetimes of higher mental illness and suicide rates for those kids? what about young children of color who are treated as automatically criminally suspicious by racist white adults? what about autistic kids whose parents try to “cure” them with abusive, unscientific bullshit that passes as “therapy”? what about the children of parents who are “anti vaxxers”? what about children in any kind of abusive household? should we all just fucking ignore them because since we’re not those kids’ parents, it’s not our responsibility?

the idea that you are in no way obligated to take care of children that aren’t directly related to you is fucking insane, period. (not to mention the idea that your responsibility only extends as far as the children who literally came out of you, jesus christ.) read anything about basic anthropology or how human beings existed together in societies before modern industrialization happened and you’ll be confronted with hard evidence that is not how human beings naturally behave. you aren’t just arguing for you personally to have the least personal obligation to anyone or anything and damn the consequences, you’re arguing that against nature we should normalize not giving a shit about the most vulnerable human beings there are as much as possible. 

everyone knows if you see a kid in danger, you do what you can to help them. a baby is in a locked car on a hot day, you break the window and get the kid out. you see a kid being groomed by a predator, you step in. that’s not being a hero or an especially good person, that’s being a regular ass, bare minimum human.

if you take this stance, whether it’s because you’re one of these “libertarian”/”classical liberal” “Individual Rights means I get to treat others like shit” people, or one of these “telling me to be nice to children who annoy me is ableist” people, or one of these “telling me to stop circulating and normalizing incest, child porn, and ‘non-con’ content online in the name of Fandom is sexist” types who always get on posts like this to claim they’re being oppressed, fuck you. there is no possible reason other than your own unbelievable immaturity and selfishness that you wouldn’t automatically be responsible to do whatever you can do to make this world safer for children.

[mandaloriangf]

hot take: theres a reason why so many maps pedophiles are also anti antis. theres a reason why they reblog posts from anti antis made by anti antis. its bc y’all fostered an environment where pedophiles feel safe and secure and validated and its fucking scary. 

[mandaloriangf]

i went to block an anti anti and this was the first post i saw

and guess what kind of people were reblogging this!

[fungoidz-deactivated20200705]

people have become so incredibly desensitized to pedophilia online its crazy

[fungoidz-deactivated20200705]

“they arent a pedophile/arent playing into pedophilic culture, they are just sexually aroused by things that children do and by children characters and imagining themself as a child in sexual situations and are good friends with people who create child porn!” do you people realize how you sound

[tomcats-and-tophats]

This AO3/fandom anti-anti/purity culture whinging stuff is always so unnerving, and it’s always even more unnerving the next time it rolls around because people still haven’t learned, and I know it’s not a hundred percent related to this blog, but look.

This post is going to be long, and it’s going to touch on every sort of trigger, but here’s the thesis in the form of a misquote - especially for everyone out there unable to parse these concepts without a media reference:

“You’re going to go through life thinking that [people] don’t like you because you’re a nerd. And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that that won’t be true. It’ll be because you’re [really fucking creepy].”

So once again the losers on the internet are rushing for first place in the freak grand prix. This post includes screencaps of pedophiles and apologists below the cut. I am not debating them. I am making an example of them.

If your horror hinges on demonizing the mentally ill, odds are you’re a shitty writer.

[funereal-disease]

Do fanfic discoursers ever…read anything other than fanfiction? Like, I feel like it’s only possible to be this horrified by problematic fanworks if you’ve never actually read a book.

Then again, if your only engagement with media is Marvel movies, that explains a lot about why you’d be so blindsided by anything that smacks of moral complexity.

[funereal-disease]

Do they know what’s in books? Or do they sincerely think that all media has the emotional and thematic depth of a PG-13 blockbuster franchise, and naughty fandom pervs are introducing previously unprecedented elements to this uniformly tepid world?

[bigskydreaming]

The presence of moral complexity in the world does not negate the presence of things that are absent of morality completely.

There is no moral complexity, nor emotional or thematic depth in works that are aimed entirely at getting readers off to works of pedophilia. There’s nothing redemptive or worth engaging with in works that applaud and celebrate racism mindlessly, rather than examine it for what it is.

Then again, if your only engagement with other members of fandom is with those who share your faux-intellectual elitist stance that an appreciation for the ‘controversial’ is a sign of sophistication, that explains a lot about why you’re so far from the actual ballpark of where people are actually coming from with this ‘discourse.’

Like good fucking god, lol, how freaking tone deaf do you have to be to think that what you’ve presented here is a sizzling hot take that cut to the heart of the matter?

Fans of color, survivors, etc: *criticize fanworks that are mired in racism and pedophilia, rape and abuse apologism, condemn the widespread creation of such works and how they’re presented in the context of narratives that uphold, validate and even glorify or romanticize them, rather than critique or examine*

You: Oh I see what’s going on here, its cuz you’re all so sheltered and only read and watch entertainment-lite like Marvel movies, you can’t appreciate that there’s more darkness in the world than what you’d find there, and that’s what these fanworks are about.

Fans of color, survivors, all of whom who y’know….deal with racism, trauma, etc, daily: Ummm….yeah that checks out, sure.

[thebales]

Why are you such a coward, and such an angry, angry person? I'm not trying to belittle or undermine anything that's happened to you in your life. For anything that you've gone through, I'm very sorry. You're just such an angry, cowardly person, and I was just curious as to why.

[bubbidubby]

If you’re going to make a long-winded, aggressive post attacking a person’s character, and then top it all off with allegations of criminal behavior, and that person is not a high-ranking member of society who will never hear you, what’s stopping you from messaging them directly, you coward?

[thebales]

the point of my post was for people outside of fandom to be conscious of if they ever consider joining so they wont get blindsided like me by how much of a cesspool this fandom is, harboring nasty people like her uncritically.

and ok but why would i want to talk to an ableist, homophobic, transphobic, incest/abuse/pedo fetishist one-on-one? whats the point? im not interested in discussing this with someone who’s so adamant she’s done no wrong & thinks im the one harassing her lol. pointing out problems isnt harassment. like.. youre not gong to say anything about the incest? the homophobia? the ableism??? why would i waste time talking to someone who doesnt care. also get it right. i never accused otohoe of criminal behavior. being a pedo doesnt land u in jail sadly, only when you enact on it. pedo just applies to anyone who is sexually attracted to and has sexual fantasies about children, and from her ao3 its clear as day. so, pedo.

[thebales]

warning post about otohoe

this is my last post on this matter because i’m tired and i’m done.

yall think im being a bully or a killjoy for being uncomfortable in this fandom but i think i have every right to be. and its seriously not even funny anymore how desensitized you all are.

i dont think many of you will care lol but this is for anyone new out there, especially minors who are considering getting into slbp and its fandom.

tw: pedophilia, rape, abuse, incest, homophobia, transphobia, ableism. each section will be labeled boldly as well.
