ooc. i just felt like sending this too. you can read in private or publish, i don’t really care, whatever you’re most comfortable with, but i wanted to say that after taking a look at your blog (and i’m still reading), i wanted to simply say that i appreciate some of your posts for many reasons. first of all, i can tell that you are an adult. and you are very diplomatic yet straight forward and not beating about the bush how you feel about discourse online. now, while i, personally, set myself certain boundaries how far i want to take jafar in my stories (i would never ship him with jasmine for example), i would never remotely dare tell other people, let alone accuse someone, of writing or liking or shipping what i don’t write or like or ship. like you say ship and let ship. live and let live. it is beyond me why people can’t just block and move on if they come across something that triggers them. why does everyone nowadays have to morally educate, ethically indoctrinate other people on the internet? total strangers at that? there is a german saying over here that goes “abschalten kommt von abschalten” abschalten means both to relax and to turn off. “to relax means to turn off (the internet for example)”. it wasn’t that crazy being part of ANY fandom in the early 2000s. it has gradually become part of everyone’s unwanted identity somehow to walk on eggshells around anyone. bc you miiiiight trigger someone. honestly? i’m tired. and being over thirty myself, i’m too old to care anymore. sometimes i still get sent anonymous hate but i am glad that most people enjoy what i do. i made the mistake to delete blogs in the past because of hate but i won’t delete jafar. i’m actually quite proud of all of my in-depth headcanons and how much i have developed him so far. that’s all i wanted to say :)

Thank you for sharing this, and I really appreciate your words.

It is really bizarre to me how fandom has changed, especially in the last ten years, to this expectation that someone will somehow always be comfortable with all the content other fans create.

Fans have always been weird, and that’s great. Some of us get along, and some of us don’t. but I always appreciate when people who don’t like what I’m doing just block me– and I try to do the same as well.

(also your blog rocks 💖)

I dont understand why written porn of real children ISN’T illegal. If someone wrote depraved fanfiction of my child there’d be hell to pay for sure.

Real children also shouldn’t be celebrities, whether mainstream or online.

Why its okay for Hollywood to exploit child stars.

Why parents are allowed to exploit their children on youtube.

There is no expectation of privacy when you’re a celebrity or a public figure. This is why porn of real children gets written– because they’re put in the public eye as public figures, the same way every celebrity gets porn written about them.

I’ll agree with you that porn written about child celebrities should be illegal when we make child celebrities illegal.

It is not okay to exploit and victimize children for entertainment labor under the best of circumstances.

It’s also not okay to tell people they can’t write fanfiction about public figures and celebrities.

Let’s worry about the way these children are victimized and stripped of privacy by their parents, the entertainment industry, and real sexual predators within the entertainment industry before we worry about the gross fanfiction about them.

Are endo systems something that one can ethically be neutral on? On one hand I feel like I cant take a stance because of lack of research, but on the other I dont want to dismiss lived experiences no matter how they’re perceived.

Ask yourself why research matters in the face of lived internal experience.

Ask yourself what benefit you think someone is gaining from falsely describing their lived internal experience.

Do you demand research before you support nonbinary people?

Do you demand research before you support bisexual attraction?

Plurality is an internal experience that you cannot use science to “know for sure” if someone is experiencing.

If you feel like you can be neutral on that, that’s your own perspective.
