Tumblr is one of the primary social media sites that stands at war with itself regarding censorship of media and regulation of safe, controlled content. Disregarding the possible merits of being “pro” or “anti” anything, I want to know in an honest, anonymous survey evaluation: How problematic are you really?
{For the sake of this survey, “problematic” is defined as someone who would be judged harshly in the court of public opinion for their engagement in “bad things,” whereas “bad things” are defined as books, movies, tv shows, ships, etc that deal with dark, macabre content or explore themes of graphic violence, gore, abuse, pedophilia, incest, etc that, while disturbing, do not harm physical human beings IMMEDIATELY at the point of engagement.}
I am not problematic. I don’t engage in bad things.
I am not problematic. I seldom engage in bad things.
I am not problematic. I sometimes engage in but don’t enjoy bad things.
I engage in bad things as a form of self-punishment for immorality.
I am mildly problematic. I seldom engage in and enjoy bad things.
I am problematic. I sometimes engage in and enjoy bad things.

book banning is unequivocally bad and worth being concerned about, but it’s funny how this practice has survived into the internet age, where information is more readily available than it’s ever been in human history.
“ACK! my kid is going to learn Gender Queer at the school library” dude your kid has a porn machine in his pocket and you pay for it.
There’s an equivalent of book-burning happening online too. You know how platforms keep killing nsfw blogs? Yeah that erases years and decades of documented human sexuality outside of the norm. There are thoughts and values in those communities that are erased.
Bc of worldwide connection, we are rapidly and radically challenging societal norms in online spaces. There is so much value in the information we write and catelog.
Erotica and non-fic literature on unaccepted displays of sexuality are the kinds of books that get burned, and unconventionally sexual people are some of the people routinely tortured and killed under fascism.
