Why Censorship Is Bad

An Essay On The Dangers Of Censorship

Hello everyone. We keep seeing a lot of takes online (mainly Twitter and TikTok) talking about how there needs to be censorship on taboo subjects. We wanted to share some reasons why that may not be as great an idea as you may think.

The taboo subjects now adays are usually sexual in nature. Kinks, incest, loli/shota, etc, a lot of people want to ban. A talking point we've heard a few times is that if people see this stuff in fiction then they'll start to like it and change the way their brain is wired. This is THE EXACT talking points conservatives had when videos games first came out, calling them violent and the cause of school shootings. More importantly for this essay, this is what happened as well when movies first came out.

When movies first came out there was an outcry from the public to have more moral films. In fear of both loosing an audience and being censored by the government (as movies were too new to be protected by law) film studios adopted The Hays Code, self censorship basically. The Hays Code censored the stuff people wanted gone sure, extreme violence, sex, excessive use of drugs, but that's not where the censorship stopped.

Amongst things banned in The Hays Code were queer people / relationships, and interracial relationships. When you open the floodgates to censorship, who decides what's moral and what's not? This is exactly what would happen again. You say no sex, the law may hear no queers. And lately, they'd sure love that opportunity!

So what do we do instead? It's completely fair if you're triggered by certain subjects in media or just plain old don't want to see them. That's fine. What people can do to help is properly tag stuff. For example the tag system in AO3 is there for a reason, USE IT. If you see someone online making something you don't like, block them, but don't harass them. You have a right to block them, just as they have a right to create. Trigger warnings have become a bit more common place beyond fanfiction too. They're in some books, shows, and video games now.

Censorship is a slippery slope, one that in our current day we really don't need. Don't let the government have more tools to erase you.

I think it's fine to ship straight characters as gay, but that means you also can't be mad when other people ship gay characters as straight

the issue with your logic is that very few characters are actually canonically straight lmao. I personally wouldn’t ship a character who has explicitly said they’re straight as gay (though you could argue fanon will always trump over canon). when characters are canonically queer, it’s VERY intentional.

can you name a single character that has been confirmed straight? I can name several confirmed gay characters, and even more that are queer-coded but not confirmed. the issue with saying “I can ship gay characters as straight if you can ship straight characters as gay!” is that if a character is gay, most likely it’s canonical. I can’t be mad at you for shipping a female character with a man if her sexuality hasn’t been confirmed, because your ship is no less canon than mine. however, it would be weird for you to ship a character who has explicitly been labeled as a lesbian or queer by the creators with a man. like it would be weird to ship vi from arcane with a guy because she’s canonically a lesbian.

your argument doesn’t have much to stand on because you don’t really have a right to get mad at people for shipping characters who aren’t canonically any sexuality. there’s no such thing as “shipping straight characters as gay”

also, do you think people ship characters out of nowhere? if a ship is popular that means they have chemistry. oftentimes fanon queer ships have better chemistry than canon straight ships

Please Bring Kaiser Home.

I have been having complications with managing my diabetes that have led me to be hospitalized twice. I live alone. Kaiser is a precious pup that specializes in detecting when blood sugar is too high or too low before it leads to complications. Something I have been struggling with. Kaiser would not only improve my quality of life but also be my companion and friend

I’m asking for community support get a Medical Alert Dog. It is a huge ask but any support is appreciated 💗
