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.

do you have an “about” page with relevant information about yourself (eg pronouns, a name you go by, etc)? only i like your blog but always feel strange about following blogs with no face so to speak

I DONT KNOW… i’ve been playing ponytown on and off for a few years now and istg, i’ve never seen anything like this until i started playing again this year T_T.if you connect your patreon, it lets you show it in-game and like every other person i’ve found has said patreon link to a long-ass dni that is literally just “basic dni + proship / freaks” and its??? so strange – especially since 01, i haven’t seen anyone with ‘antis dni’ linked so i know it’s only antis doing this, and 02, a lot of these people ( imo ) seem to only be making a patreon to specifically say this???it’s just so weird, i don’t understand any of it – i feel like if anyone needs proof of dnis being useless it’s this – i mean, if i wanna talk / roleplay with someone on an online pony game ( w someone i presumably will either never see again, or only see while playing said pony game – ) i am not going to read, or even consider making, a 5 paragraph dni 😭??? srry 4 the rant, im just So Confused by this??

The idea of a DNI in an online multiplayer game is… It’s bonkers to me. It’s unhinged. I’m as confused as you are.

People who put dnis on their posts but only for proshippers make me nervous tbhLike. That’s the one you’re most worried about? Not bigots? Not terfs who are absolutely rampant on this site unfortunately? You know, the two things that used to be on most performative dnis by default? Sure, I don’t think DNIs actually work against anyone who’s truly a problem, but to me it feels so telling that some folks are now not making threats or banners against anything else. It’s a real said the quiet part out loud moment. The quiet part being “I think people who ship stuff I don’t like are worse than actual bigots” or “this message is entirely performative and I don’t actually care about making the world safer for anyone”

I think it’s mostly the performative type. They don’t expect bigots to be interacting with their posts. But you know the second a nasty “proshipper” does they’re swinging for the fences.

Sometimes the specific way some fancops talk about “proships DNI” exits the realm of sounding like enforcing a social boundary, and enters the realm of sounding like a child on the playground screaming: “EWWW!! EWW!! COOTIES!! DONT TOUCH ME THEYVE[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Blocking and reporting users is curating your experience. If somebody else ignores a dni they crossed your boundary. Those are the rules. You have a duty to act against anyone who crosses your boundaries and fucks up your experience. It’s not up to anyone else to determine who poses a danger to you. Report them so they don’t hurt other people.

just-antithings: … you can’t report someone for violating your dni, that’s not against the terms of service. and making a dni isn’t curating your online experience, it’s demanding that other people do it for you

Turn off reblogs or include a DNI banner if you don’t want your posts escaping containment. Expecting someone to check the blog of every post they see cross their dash before they reblog it is an unreasonable expectation on social[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
