One of the expectations my kid has to meet in order to have screen time this summer is to spend at least 30 minutes outside, and suffice it to say I have never hated a rule of my own invention more than I do in this moment.

i bring a sort of "it doesnt matter if youre into porn or not, getting elitist and mad at people for being horny aligns you with the agenda of the alt right" vibe to the conversation that some ppl dont like

Not to be the bad news bear, but if I had to learn this so do yall: this may very well be the last summer we see fireflies. They are apparently going extinct.

“I assume it is some sort of human failing that makes us always need to shun someone who we perceive as ‘more different than thou.’ Some simply need to feel better about themselves by despising someone further down the chain from them. Nevertheless, this does not seem to help move us further along in the world at large.

We can worry about who is this and who is that, we can argue about who does or doesn’t belong. We can talk about how much more legitimate one or another of us is. In the end, we are all somebody’s freak - and basic human dignity is not of a privilege of the lucky superior few, but a right of all or none.”

it's actually, in fact, incredibly difficult to believe that you care about victims when you throw words around like they have no meaning. like no,,, that person reading an age gap fic is not a pedophile. no, that person reading an incest fic doesn't actually want to fuck their sibling. nooo, that person reading a non-con fic isn't about to go and assault someone. we can absolutely discuss the connections between real life and fiction and we can absolutelyyy have discussions about how they imitate one another... but not if you think that imitation = inherent reflection. not if you believe that every single piece of media someone engages with is an endorsement or insight into their person actions and thoughts (and quite frankly, as a lit+pol MA student, if the only media you engage in is a direct reflection of your life and self, then i do think that's an issue in and of itself)

but like. it is very hard to believe that you care about victims when you use our experiences as a comparison to John reading Fanfiction on AO3. when you just,,, chuck the term around like it has no weight whatsoever.

these are real words. these are real scenarios. these are real people who are watching you compare their fandom engagement to what happened to them.

"what's stopping them from doing it to real peop-" idk man. the fact that everyone else is able to separate fiction from reality? idk what else to tell you. i read fics where a MC goes and kills a bunch of people and so far i'm not a murderer idk i like,,, know that that is in fact bad irl. idk what else to tell you. also you can exclude tags.

The thing is nobody at pride is evaluating you to determine if you’re queer enough to be there because they’re too busy thinking “it’s so hot out” and “why is this lemonade 12 dollars?”
