i do wish there was a way to discuss taboo writings/art in predominantly fandom spaces without both sides of the argument getting defensive and screaming at each other

like i think there could be a really interesting discussion on why it’s created, the impacts it has, and the history of that type of media because it is nuanced and there isn’t one simple answer to everything

but for some reason you can’t do that bc the entire issue is so black and white to everyone and you either have to be 100% one way or the other

I mean, we try to have normal rational discussions about it all the time, but when we do people who call themselves antis make violent threats at us and accuse us of crimes.
