A little boy I tutor was wearing a rad Spider-Man shirt today. I complimented it and told him I love Spider-Man, and he looked at me with this very serious expression and asked “But do you love Peter Parker, too?”

honestly, especially in the current state of the world, you all have GOT to kill whatever puritanical voice inside your head keeps insisting that if something is erotic it has no social, artistic, or intellectual merit.

stop acting as if someone can’t enjoy both erotica and literary fiction or classics. it’s not some dichotomy.

stop acting as if erotic art can’t be poignant and meaningful. and that includes all erotic art - not just fine art.

stop insisting that sex scenes or erotic material ruin movies and shows just because you, personally, get icked out watching it.

no, not all erotic art is high art, and not all erotic art is meant to invoke deep intellectual discussion - but insisting that makes erotic art valueless, a disservice to intellectualism, or whatever else - does nothing but add fuel to a fire built on conservative ideology.

i get what people mean when they say jean valjean was unjustly or unfairly put in prison but i feel like it's missing the point to say his sentence was an injustice. legally, his 19 years were 100% justified. he stole a loaf of bread and received the appropriate punishment of 5 years. he tried to escape and received the corresponding number of years each time. his total of 19 years was perfectly valid under the law. and that's hugo's point. the justice system is institutionally flawed. what is fair in the eyes of the law is not fair in the eyes of morality.

It seems like the older I get, the more irrationally angry casual censorship makes me. And it isn't just the "unalive" "grape" alleged filter-dodging vernacular, but the way normal words will be peppered with asterisks, or screenshots will have words like "gay" "hell" "fuck" etc either partially or entirely blurred. Who is this helping? What is the purpose of it, except to reinforce shame and elevate a flimsy perception of purity and safety, however those things manifest. It's so tiresome and I'm sick of it.
