I hate it when antis are like “I used to think xyz was normal cuz I saw someone’s art/fic/headcanon therefore we shouldn’t post those things” – sweetie maybe if you rely on social media and fandoms to tell you what’s right or wrong you aren’t old/mature enough to be wandering around on social media and fandoms at all. Go interact with people you know irl, play offline games or whatever – but don’t go around fandoms talking to absolute strangers cuz it can turn very dangerous if you’re that trusting and gullible. I honestly think kids under 15-16 should avoid befriending strangers onlineAntis act like sexual grooming is the only terrible thing that can happen online but that’s far from truth. Extremely young people (especially neurodivergent) are also at risk of being guilty tripped into something by their online friends, to be financially scammed, groomed into ideologies (ahem, terfs, nazism and so on), be doxxed or get emotionally abused. If you cannot tell what proper boundaries look like, what is considered right and wrong irl – then don’t engage with strangers on internet at all. Especially on places like discord or tiktok, which are swamped by scammers and predators of all kindsNoone in fandom is anyone’s parent, none is responsible for what message you might get out of their arts or fics. If you see someone’s fic about 14y/o secretly dating an adult and think that’s actually normal irl then I’m sorry to tell you kid but that misconception is on you. Because at the end of the day you can always ask someone you trust irl “hey I saw xyz online, is that actually alright?” – just educate yourself ffs
