Ahh @parasect my friend! You clearly haven’t seen my post discussing how calling pro-shippers pedophiles is just a strawman argument!
See, I’ll explain it to you: my post was pointing out the hypocrisy of anti-shippers. It showed a selection of works in media which broke the ridiculous rules you fellows claim to live by, and said that if you really believed that “problematic” fiction, even properly labelled as such, was truly something that shouldn’t exist, you would be campaigning for these works to be banned.
And what was your witty response to my argument? “Shut up, pedophile”.
Now, let’s not go into the fact that pedophiles should all go to a hell I don’t believe in, and how fucking disgusting it is that you claim to be crusading against pedophiles when all you’re doing is attacking people who *squints at paper* don’t believe in the censorship of fiction.
The “shut up you’re a pedophile” argument allows for two things. First, you get to start off the conversation with a strawman argument. You get to say “ha! Checkmate” without touching a board. You get to lord over with your supposed moral superiority, and you scare other, less informed observers into taking your side. Because no one sides with a pedophile.
Then the argument turns into the argument you want it to be because instead of talking about the logical argument I made, I now have to say I’m not a pedophile, and you get to dig in. “Of course you’re a pedophile – you support kiddie porn!” You spit back – another straw man argument, because now I have to explain that while I don’t like under-age fic, it is not in fact, kiddie porn.
What does that have to do with my original post? What does that have to do with your hypocritical crusade against mostly-female or queer fic writers creating fic you don’t like? What has this got to do with anything?
Because no matter how good and righteous it makes you feel to call me one, I am not a pedophile. It’s a simple fact. I have been openly and vocally against paedophilia multiple times on this blog.
You’re a disgusting, hypocritical, self-serving, morally righteous, internet pig. You don’t actually give a shit about the real world impact of fiction because otherwise you would be campaigning to get censorship laws changed, you would be campaigning to ban the works of fiction I mentioned. You just have a knee jerk reaction to things you dislike on the internet, and instead of just avoiding it, you decide that you, the morally superior conservative-minded “liberal” need to clap back and bully others for your own pleasure.
If you’re still confused, look up the alt-right handbook playlist on YouTube. You’ll find some scary similarities between your tactics and those of the alt-right.
