not an anti or proship but i guess you would consider me proship. i don’t like the prevalence of people sexualizing minors and how they tend to be some of the most vocal in such spaces. I don’t want to associate with drama or give myself a label that would attract it. i don’t care what is done in fiction as long as the characters are adults. fuck i draw noncon ero guro stuff and write deaddove. i wholeheartedly agree antis are a cult. this is coming from a survivor of Jehovahs Witnesses. The other thing that should be noted is that antis dont want to change proshippers. they want to austrosizr and otherize them. they are well aware that the best way to get people to change is by being loving and supportive. Also the whole anti pro para thing pisses me off pro para doesn’t mean pro contact. it just means hey dont be ashamed of something you cant control and try to seek help. it also pisses me off that they blame dark content creators of invading kids spaces. bruh go back to webkinz twitter and ao3 were never intended for kids. also most wouldn’t know the content we create exists ( as it should be) if antis wouldn’t plaster it everywhere
Hi, anon.
We debated a long time if we were going to reply to your message, or just delete it.
Here’s the thing. We agree with almost everything you said in your message accept for this:
“i don’t care what is done in fiction as long as the characters are adults.”
It’s already clear that you’re not harassing people, or trying to police anyone, so we were thinking we would just delete the message and leave it at that.
But I’m sorry. I have to point out your cognitive dissonance here.
You write eroguro.
You know that hurting characters doesn’t hurt real people.
You know that sexualizing abuse and violence in fiction doesn’t make you become a violent abuser in real life.
What isn’t clicking about writing underage characters in fiction?
You know that hurting fictional characters doesn’t hurt real people. That doesn’t change if the fictional character is underage.
You know that sexualizing abuse and violence doesn’t make you become a violent abuser in real life. That doesn’t change if the character is underage.
Maybe I am misinterpreting you, and you just mean that you don’t want to read about characters in fiction who are not adults. But that’s not what your message sounds like. Please let me know if I’m wrong here.
You are absolutely within your rights to draw your personal boundaries anywhere you like.
I really hope you are saying “I write eroguro but I don’t like to write about minors”, and not “I write eroguro but I think that writing about underage characters means you are an abuser in real life.”
