i feel like going so hard on “minors dni” for sexual content is really puritanical. This is not advocating for sexual contact between adults and minors, but saying teens shouldn’t have access to sexual content on the internet like reading smutty fanfic is infantilizing teens and teaching them shame about sex. Not to mention that that’s…. not the real world? Their shows have sex, books for them have sex, and there’s no one at the checkout of a barnes and noble or a library who cards teens for grabbing Sarah J Maas or whatever. It’s so stupid and it seems like it stems from everyone being afraid to be labeled a “pedo”, this site’s favorite insult for “things i dont like”. idk just wanted ur thoughts
I think people started putting “minors DNI” in their blogs because “OMG you post NSFW content on your blog and yet you have minors following you!!!” was used as ammo in callout posts to drag people’s reputations through the mud.
