Fanart of Glitchtrap and Vanny :3
A little advice from someone studying extremist groups: if you’re in a social media environment where the daily ubiquitous message is that you have no hope of any kind of future and you can’t possibly achieve anything without a violent overthrow of society, you’re being radicalized, and not in the good way.
If you ask an anti what “proship” means, it will change drastically depending on the anti you ask
But you ask a proshipper what “proship” means, they will give you a consistent answer, no matter what proshipper you ask
Who’s a more reliable source here?
Smoke break 🚬
sounds very bad I know, but it's not like I don't find that in itself alarming!
pedophile is the new "freak" or "loser', it's not taken seriously anymore, it has become just a new word to call people you don't like even when they didn't do anything
yknow the story of the boy who kept yelling "wolf!" to prank the rest of the village, so when an actual wolf came no one listened and he was mauled? that's what that is.
by reducing such a serious issue to "erhm i dont like this person or their content so they must like kids!", you're actually harming victims and making it harder for them to be taken seriously
"What have I done?"
so dark content in fiction "normalizes" crimes irl, but harassing and sending death threats to real people doesn't "normalize" harassment? between me shipping fictional siblings and you threatening to ship me with my actual sibling, between someone writing noncon and you sending them wishes of rape, which one "normalizes" doing more harm?
Writing porn just for the sake of porn is super valid actually.
Smut and PWPs aren’t a fandom problem that needs to be solved. They belong here. They’re basically the backbone of fandom. Stop with your scarily casual purification talk.
I'm gonna say it.
It's unhinged to assume that someone's taste in fiction equates to what they believe is moral or good, or is something they want to see or experience in real life.
That is a bonkers assumption to make.
I'm tired of humoring people with long arguments about it when the simple fact is it is a totally fucking absurd reach to accuse someone who enjoys something in fiction of being in favor of it in real life.
I'm tired of pretending like this is a legitimate position to hold-- that they should be afraid of fiction's dire influence on a reader's moral decay or that it's a sign of what the author secretly wants for realsies in real life.
This one was frustrating at some points but mostly it was just a good time. If you'd like to try it out, I've posted the code (and instructions for how to implement a skin on your AO3 account) here.
