There are a couple of things about current shipping culture that confuse me.
1. The focus on whether or not a pairing will become canon as a reason people should ship something or not. Do you not understand what the “transformative” part of “transformative works” means?”
2. This idea that saying “I ship that” means “I think that, as presented in canon,this is a perfect, healthy relationship that everyone should model their relationship after.”
Sometimes shipping something does mean that. Sometimes shipping something means “Person A is a trash bag who doesn’t deserve person B but I would love to explore how Person A might grow to deserve Person B.” Sometimes it means “I want these characters to live together forever in a conflict free domestic AU.” Sometimes it means “I want Person A to forever pine after Person B. Nothing is beautiful and everything hurts.” And sometimes it just means you like their faces and want to see Person A and Person B bone in various configurations and universes.
Listen to your parents, kids.
This really should be one of a handful of Public Service Announcements randomly and chronically inserted into one’s dash.
Hell man sometimes it means “these two are TERRIBLE and I want to watch them burn like a catastrophic forest fire as a proxy for all the shit I don’t actually want in real life (like to light my own apartment on fire and scream) and then laugh at the destruction at the end.”
THIS. ALL OF THIS.

whydideveryoneelsetakethegoodnam:
the “age-play should be illegal” post is still making me seethe. Imagine being a queer leftist but also calling for the criminalization of things that make you personally uncomfortable. They’re not hurting anyone. and if they did! Then they deserve to be punished for that. Not the harmless consensual sex.
“I think the way other adults act in consentual relationships is weird so it should be illegal”
If they can do that, they can attack autistic people
If they can do that, they can attack mentally ill people
If they can do that, they can attack any minority
I’m begging people to realize the right wants to convince you of their “centrist” belief so they can drag you into the right
I don’t know when the Left became infiltrated with moral sexual busybodies but let’s make something perfectly clear:
A sexual act that takes place is between consenting adults, it is absolutely none of your business.
I personally think puppy play is weird. But if puppy play takes place between consenting adults, it’s none of my business. Because here’s the thing: you can ban all the kinks and weird things you want, but they’ll always come for you.
Don’t like bondage? Don’t engage in bondage. Don’t like wax melts? Don’t have wax melts. Don’t like the sub/dom dynamic? Etc.
But once all that is banned, the far right will come for you, too.
And if you think ‘oh but I’ll be fine because I don’t have any weird kinks’, the far right considers being queer in any form the same thing. And even if you’re cishet! Sodomy laws basically banned anything that wasn’t PiV with intent to reproduce.
So, as long as nobody’s being assaulted, chill tf out on what consenting adults are doing amongst themselves.
