seeing a 17 year old on this site saying that the porn ban is good because they think we’re all “porn-obsessed” and need to “realize not everyone wants to see you discussing porn” is quite sad. i cannot comprehend the kind of conservative sheltering these poor children are subject to (here’s a hint from a social worker: sheltering doesn’t prevent harm, but enables it even further)
we were here way before you. you were barely 7 years old when this website began. you werent even born yet when online fandom and fic became a thing. we have been tagging since the beginning. the reason you have any fandom space to enjoy at all is because of the people who paved the way for us to create, yes, even gay fanart, without being arrested over it (except if you’re in china. is that what you want here too?)
you stomped onto our yard, ignored the “roses” sign, and then yelled at us for the thorns pricking your hand. you came into spaces we had built and started a fucking identity around falsely accusing strangers of being pedos because you dont like the ships
i am so sorry but life after highschool going to be very rough for you if you keep living this way
i hope it is kind to you
