Censorship causes real world harm every day in many ways, which is why censorship is a last resort and slippery slope if it's not based on an objective reality. You have to prove a type of art is actually harmful, or you risk doing more harm to innocent people, often minorities.
@SamAburime This. I hate it especially when people say they have amazing formative memories of media but also say they'd never let their own kids watch it at the same age- even though it's one of their favorite or most important memories.
It's super fucking weird watching people go "Wow I read/watched this when I was a teenager & didn't realize how problematic it was at the time🤢" while also indicating it had no adverse effects on how they approached life or their behavior. Cartoons do not fail you, society does.
"I don’t care if it’s fictional. No one should have access to content that sexually depicts children in any way."
Nobody should have access to content that promotes violence and encourages criminal activity in any way
Oh wait... We've been through this same song and dance...
when i was a teen navigating the internet, i engaged with a lot of fanworks that were extremely graphic in nature, and not once did i interpret fictional content as endorsement of those acts irl. i don’t understand why that’s so difficult to grasp
@SamAburime god bring us back to the old ways of internet where people understood fiction is fiction and how to say this isn't for me and click away 🫠 I can't take anymore wonderful anime artists being harassed for literal lines on paper. Why can't we treat artists better it's heartbreaking
Western "fans" have become a fucking plague to media across the globe, but a lot of you absolutely love to bash Asian media while eating it up at the same time. Do everyone a favor and just go live in the wilderness. Go join a church group.
@RobSchneider As far as I know you never served so draft yourself and go die for a war you want so bad. Go get the discipline you claim others lack, nazi.
Reiterating that ending sexual exploitation of & violence against women, children & vulnerable people requires universal basic income and housing. There are millions on this earth who could be spared violence and even death if they just had a reliable way to flee those situations
When will y'all understand that wanting to ban erotic FICTION that depicts taboo stuff while simultaneously secretly engaging in that very same stuff IN REAL LIFE (actually committing sexual crimes) is the bread and butter of fascists?
The “I love pancakes” “oh so you hate waffles” thing is already well called out. But way more insidious is people saying “I hate waffles” and then later saying stuff like “can’t believe I’m getting hate for saying I love pancakes”
@PoorOldRoloTony Also to everyone saying "it's just boring/adds nothing, not about uncomfortable" -if you dislike something enough to complain about it, you're uncomfortable.
Bored or annoyed are forms of uncomfortable- as are unhappy, don't like it, etc- they're all forms of uncomfortable.
@Ichigo90Yt@PoorOldRoloTony One day you will grow up & realize that you're either asexual and need to stop expecting other people to also be or you will stop being a child about sex and how it's a part of being human that other people experience feelings during it, therefore experience feelings watching it.
@Kama1G@PoorOldRoloTony You claim to be a mental health provider but you can't read subtext at all. It doesn't actually matter either, whether the person is bored or uncomfortable- arguing that no movies should have sex scenes is a nazi stance. Quit your job.
When the supposed experts in a society can't even do their jobs & talented people in the public stay trapped in poverty it's hard not to despair that we really are just fucking doomed.. I try to find realistic things to hope about but this is bleak.
I'm an optimistic realist but I'm really struggling. Doctors keep sending me in circles any time I need help & don't know jack shit about anything I need help with. Then they refer me to another "expert" who also doesn't know jack shit about anything I'm dealing with.
The majority really have no fucking clue what they're doing & are bias as fuck. I probably read more scientific papers than they do & it's their literal job. I've lost all my patience for this shit.
