Yo, anons, I get that ya’ll wanna talk about the proship/autism connection but I do not want to talk about that because of my eugenics trauma and concerns.
Please have this discussion somewhere other than my inbox.
I love and appreciate you.
Fictional characters cannot give or revoke consent regardless of whether they are portrayed as children or adults.
Characters cannot and do not consent to being written.
They do not and cannot consent to any of the traumatic or sexual situations that authors write them in.
The question of what characters are capable of consent is irrelevant in conversations about what fiction is acceptable.
“You shouldn’t write sexual content of that character because they are underage” is as meaningless as “you shouldn’t write torture content of that character because they are underage”.
[lie] they should ask their parents for permission first.
