but seriously if you see someone call themselves “proship” and you think “this person is a pedophile” without any other context, this is your sign to log off of social media. there is still time.
social media is an amazing tool for connecting with people across the world for community and solidarity, but it is also a hellscape of brainworms and horrible opinions, such as the reduction of “this is part of a complicated discussion about critical consumption and morality in media” down to “if you write/draw/think about Bad Things™️ in fiction with exclusively fictional characters then you are defending those Bad Things™️ happening to real people.”
do you see how this is an insane leap in logic? you don’t get to pick and choose what Bad Things™️ are permissible to explore and present in media, and so long as we’re talking about fictional characters—and they’ve hopefully put up some Dead Dove content warnings—no harm is being done. you are making dangerous and irresponsible accusations against people, independent of their actions.
