“hey wait why do you even put me away sometimes” Liam darts his eyes to the side, purses his lips, runs a hand through his locs and sighs. “…I do it when I have to jerk off.”

This is how I feel about censoring words like rape, suicide, murder, kill, ect.

When we take away the power that these words/art has, and we sanitize it, then they lose their power and this is why we have so many people online (and off!!) who are way too comfortable with making "kys/unalive yourself" jokes and wishing death on people for whatever small slight that they deemed worthy of wishing harm on that person/people.

On the flip side, if you're uncomfortable with saying any of these in conversation without sanitizing it, (r*pe, su*cide, m*rder, k*ll*, or my personal favorite /disgusted sarcasm/ "unalive", etc) then maybe you're not mature enough to be talking about said topics?

And I get that "we want to make everything comfortable for everybody, every day, all the time!" but when we're too accommodating in this kind of situation, then we are taking away the onus and responsibility of the person/people triggered by those words/topics to curate their own experience and removing themselves from the situation.

Online, it's literally as easy as blocking, backspacing, and/or/also physically removing yourself from the conversation.

But whatever you do, do not make it everyone's else's problem because you found some content that is "icky" to you. :/

I think some people forget that some literature and some media is meant to be deeply uncomfortable and unsettling. It's meant to make you have a very visceral reaction to it. If you genuinely can't handle these stories then you are under no obligation to consume them but acting as if they have no purpose or as if people don't have a right to tell these stories, stories that often relate to the darkest or most disturbing parts of life, then you should do some introspection.

When I think of Moral Ships, I am suddenly reminded of how puritans sailed to America in 1630 to infect it with their arbitrary views of what is right and wrong and how pervasive that mindset is today in 2023.

A lasting legacy that divides people in fandom to the point that it harms the marginalized lgbtqia+ community with false accusations over what is "perceived" to be morally wrong without any critical thinking skills or nuance.

How these are further passed the pipeline to create a toxic space in fandoms. Suddenly any fanfiction that depicts anything that can be seen as "gross" or "problematic" is suddenly something to add to the fires.

There is poison in the well and that poison is being fed by conservatives who desire only to oppress and control through fear mongering.

Fandom is becoming a warzone.

There is a way to stop it from being destroyed.

Push back against those who wish to silence your voice. Yell louder, if you can't, enlist your friends to help! Vote in your local, state and federal elections. Shut down propaganda and share accurate information. Spread the word on those running and what laws are being added to the ballots. This is an election year and it's VITAL that each and every one of us is heard.

If you can't get to the polls to vote, ask for help. Contact your local voting office and ask what methods are available for you. Get your friends or family to help you get there. Look up absentee or mail in ballots.

Don't do the jobs of the oppressors. Stop internet censorship. If not for you, do it for the queer kid that comes after you. And the one after them, and the one after them, and the one after them...

Whenever people try to tell me to ship "moral ships" I like to think about how inherently immoral it is to flirt with service workers at coffee shops where they're obliged to be nice to you so... many coffee shop AUs are like. Immoral. But given that they are a fantasy where this is instant romance without the fear of trapping a service worker in an uncomfortable situation that's tantamount to workplace sexual harassment, I enjoy the cutesy coffee shop AUs immensely.

And that's basically my attitude towards all fantasy. There's lots of things I enjoy in fantasy that wouldn't work IRL. Enemies to lovers. Sudden kisses. Miscommunications in relationships. Codependency. Fight sluts who physically assault each other while emotionally connecting.

Once you start ascribing your morals to the fiction you consume, you tend to miss the issues in even the most innocuous, innocent seeming scenarios. It's easy to judge other people's fictional enjoyment until someone points out your innocent coffee shop AU is romanticised workplace harassment.

But it's all fiction. It's a fantasy. That's why it's fine.

A lack of education around things like consent, healthy relationships, self respect and respect of others, bodily autonomy, etc, has made people think they can rely only on fiction to tell them what right - but that's dangerous. And unsustainable.

*frowns* The same place?

Oh, well maybe not. The other side perhaps? You don't mind that? Maybe on my neck- under my ear perhaps.........I wouldn't do it on the same place I know that one is yours, I wouldn't take any of your things off you.

I guess no adult should ever have consensual sex with another adult because both adults were once children and that is... *checks notes* sexualization of people who were once minors?

It doesn't matter if it's your OC, you shouldn't lewd a minor
