You cannot increase the agency of one group (children) by diminishing the agency of another group (adults).
Censorship does not make children safer, because there is no safe authority to decide what is censored.
Censorship takes away the tools of children to escape from abuse and indoctrination.
Fun fact; I was able to figure out I was being abused partly from fiction that portrayed abuse.
Wow, it’s almost like seeing an abusive situation from the outside makes you realize how fucked up your own situation is, even when your abuser is good at making you think it’s all for your own good.
Erasing dark fiction is the same as silencing victims, ensuring further victims can’t figure out they’re being abused, which is exactly what an abuser would want. Shut down conversations about abuse, and it’s easier for real abuse to fly under the radar.
Sounds like you’re the one telling vulnerable people to shut up, anti.
