#I cannot think rationally

[respectthepetty]

Well . . . fuck me and my sanity, I guess.

[saint-augustines-pears]

Actually, no, we should know what a woman is. If you’re going to challenge a term, you have to come up with a new definition. If we are going to have a rational conversation, all terms must be defined.

If woman doesn’t mean adult female human, what does it mean? If you’re getting defensive reading this, that’s a problem. You should be able to know what you’re arguing for. You should be able to tell people what you’re arguing for. Otherwise, what the fuck are you even doing? Why are you arguing about something that, if undefined, logically does not exist?

I would love for everyone to be happy. Delusion is not happiness. I need to know whether this is delusion or not.

@ null

Let me go ahead and give you a proper response, because I think this needs to be addressed.

Fucking hell.

I wrote a whole probably better worded response to this that Tumblr destroyed so you get this.

*deep sigh*

Lets try this again slowly. You are obviously very upset and running with things completely out of context. It's incredible to me that of all the things said in that post, you somehow came to the conclusion that my argument is that it's okay to draw naked kids. Truly incredible.

I am not defending pedophilia. Pedophilia does not need to be defended, it is a mental disorder. The word "pedophile" is not the same word as "child predator" let's get that very clear right away. I don't care how uncomfortable it makes you. I refuse to moralize primal human psychology.

The point of my post was to stop moralizing primal human psychology, desires and fixations. Full stop.

I am not defending illustrated CSAM, I am not saying it's okay that this content exists or encouraging its creation. I am making the very real and important distinction between illustrated contextual fantasy and illegal CP content. No, drawing r34 of a cartoon character isn't going to immediately catch you a charge. It is highly dependent on the context and the way the act is portrayed. There is an immense amount of nuance here and I'm not going to discount it to make your life easier.

I'll say it again: We as a people do not know how to determine why something is actually wrong. You yourself clearly do not.

The issue with the situation you describe has always been children being exposed to inappropriate content. It does not matter if it is illustrated, real, written in text or spoken aloud.

Children being exposed to any type of inappropriate content is traumatizing. It is not the existence of porn or fetish content that hurts kids, it is being exposed to it by predatory adults.

This content cannot harm children unless an adult is actively harming them. Your abuser could have used any kind of content to groom you. Your issue is not with the existence of fetish content or grown adults engaging with consenting adults in private.

Your issue is with *children* being *exposed* to inappropriate material. And fetish content, sexual content, violent content, is not for children.

Yes, consuming extreme and illegal fetish content can increase your predisposition to causing harm.

But fantasized illustrated and exaggerated content is not snuff. Eroticism is not porn and porn is not snuff. Two consenting adults engaging in pet play is not bestiality. Furry porn is not bestiality. Age play is not pedophilia. There are no children and no animals involved in this situation. Watching real depictions of crimes will erode someone's sensitivity to it., that is true. Watching campy exaggerated horror movies does not make you a violent freak who loves murder. Finding an image of a fake anime girl hot does not directly translate to finding real children attractive or wanting to engage with them. I'm so sick of us watering down what pedophilia is.

Adults engaging with other adults does not harm children. Full stop. Is it weird? Yes, as fuck. It's allowed to be weird and gross. That does not make it harmful.

I said in my reblog that inappropriate content does not belong on all ages sites. Extreme fetish content must be restrained to monitored and moderated adult only forums so that illegal content can be identified and investigated. Porn is traumatizing for children to see in general. That does not mean we need to ban porn for the entire population. The issue isn't the porn. It is the access to it by minors.

Does this mean illustrated CSAM okay? No. I said that multiple times, idk how many times I have to say it. No. No. No it is not definitely okay. Not everything needs to be so aggressively black and white. It does not have to be the worst thing in the world to be a red flag. It is not normal. It is still problematic, it is still inappropriate. It is still a red flag. It is still risky.

What that means is that we need to approach these things with consideration and respect so that it does not evolve into something dangerous.

It means keep fetish content where it belongs, on adult sites.

It means report fetish content when you see it on public platforms and social media sites

It means keep adult conversations between adults.

Predators exposing kids to inappropriate content is not the fault of sex workers trying to make a living. Predators exposing kids to inappropriate content is not the fault of adults coping with their condition in non-harmful and private ways.

Pedophilia is a mental disorder, and I refuse to moralize human psychology. The mass majority of people who suffer from this condition are former victims of childhood sexual assault. I am not defending predators or predatory behavior. Not all pedophiles are predators and I refuse to persecute a group of people with no justification other than my discomfort. I don't care how hard that is. Life isn't easy. I am willing to preserve the uncomfortable nature of the truth if it means preserving the truth.

People who have problematic, unethical and illegal fetishes, kinks and, fixations deserve space and empathy. I will say it 1000 more times.

You observing behavior between sexual predators means nothing to me. I am not going to assert that all people who engage with paraphilias act the way that sex traffickers do. Nor am I going to assert that all drug users are irresponsible addicts. Again, too simple of an explanation for an incredibly complex topic and a gross generalization of a huge group of people. I will not treat an entre population as if they are corrupt. Doing so does not stop the corruption.

You still think I'm a deplorable monster? Block me.

And the next time you see disturbing content that is not for you, Block that too.

Block and avoid things that make you feel uncomfortable and unsafe. Do not engage in conversations that are not meant for you.

I swear there always has to be at least one person who takes a single sentence completely out of context and just runs with it, its like one of the inevitabilities of the universe or something. I guess it wouldn't be a Luciferian take if it wasn't unjustly distorted by at least one person so.

[majimaisms]

So riding with the fact that majima is gay, do you think he forgot that with the amnesia? Like do you think he's confused in some way that he's just inexplicably not attracted to the women he's meeting? Or do you think that it's something he just knows about himself, to some degree, whether he has the label or not?

im so glad u asked

i am personally choosing to interpret this as him definitely noticing that he has absolutely 0 interest in women and realizing hes attracted to men and going "yeah i dont think i was um. married"

i dont think it would like. confuse him? hed just be like oh ok cool. so thats a thing about me

[guilhem-png]

Why am I so weird seriously, I see a monster that's basically two shining eyes in the darkness and my reaction is "aww baby boy I wanna smooch him" whut

[luthorao3]

i’m in the mood to read/write the most self indulgent sci-fi swarla au. underworld as a ship, part of a greater human flotilla, carla at its helm. lisa with her own tiny cruiser, which she spends more nights in than she does back at her apartment on the greater populated ship (too many memories). perfect mental image in my head of betsy tearing up and customising her fleet-issued standard citizen uniform so that her belly’s showing. plot? unrealised, just let me enjoy the aesthetic. 🥹

[burrythebusy]

I HATE WHEN I DON'T LIKE SOMETHING THAT I HAVE NO REASON TO DISLIKE BUT I JUST CAN'T GET INTO IT!! I legit try to reconcile my feelings of discomfort surrounding it but sometimes it has no clear reason and I get mad at myself like omg it makes sense and could be fun why don't you like it? I try to go through all my biases and emotions surrounding it and even how media portrays it and fandom talks about it and all and I just. Can't figure out why I'm so averse!!

[wwhore]

relationship dynamics and gender are like identity and time to me . Concepts to give some sense of consistency and unity . To try and understand things that are fluid. Little gods we've made because we don't like change and inconsistencies

[sciderman]

I didn't want to ask about the hospital stuff, but I'm glad to hear you'll be getting treatment!! And I really really hope it goes well and helps you feel better, you deserve a less stressful life, a beautiful life free of the brain bees. My heart is with you!!

thank you so much anon!! i've been doing SO much to quiet the brain bees and it takes so, so much out of my day to keep those brain bees quiet. cannot WAIT to not have an active beehive in my skull.

[im-just-a-whump-machine]

[arundolyn]

ohhhh my fucking god nobody needs to like know any of this medical tmi but it is literally 11 pm and if im kept up one minute longer when i just laid down trying to go to sleep by my mother YELLING REPEATEDLY that she needs to pee. im going to actually go insane. she got a catheter in. Yesterday. it is working. she won't listen to anyone when they tell her that this is the case. help me jesus. im sure if a nurse comes to check on her tomorrow they'll probably get the same response. my brain will simply explode

[juniperhillpatient]

seeing people dissect fictional relationships & say they can’t ship it because the two characters knew each other as kids or because there’s a power imbalance or because there’s something toxic about the dynamic etc is literally so foreign to me. its so far from any point of relatability I can’t even fathom thinking like that. it’s like seeing someone say they don’t like chocolate because it’s too sweet. like ok man. I don’t understand you at all but I suppose I respect your choice to live a life I could never even imagine or fathom choosing

[wrathofrats]

Oh sometimes I wish I wasn’t so insanely stubborn <3
