You know, it occurs to me that I don’t actually even know what fanfictons pro-censorship fans are objecting to when they say “it’s okay to write about it but not okay to romantcize it.” Because in pretty much every minor[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

LOL honestly we’ve had the same experience. Those extremely hetero-normative life-script based imagines just aren’t interesting for us. Same for the life-scripty, heteronormative x reader fic. Every now and then we’ll see a “proship DNI” on a self ship imagine[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Controlling and restricting the things people are allowed to write or read about in fiction is authoritarian. Restricting the way, manner and style people are allowed to write about things in fiction is authoritarian. Censorship is always bad. Always.

world’s biggest corruption kinkster reminding you that naughty bad fiction doesn’t actually corrupt you. It doesn’t actually work like that.
calling people “antis”: confusing, niche terminology not understood by anyone outside of extremely online shipping discourse. Call them what they are– Pro-censorship fans who attempt to exert control over other people in public fandom spaces through harassment, threats and bullying.

Anon. It’s not “just something” pro-censorship fans spread to make people look bad. It’s yet another element of pro-censorship fandom culture that’s tied to its conservative authoritarian nature.

just-antithings: DNI Interracial??? So they’re a Nazi???
It really was the icing on the cake. Makes me wonder if they’re the anon going around for a month asking everyone if they think Wesker having a picture of an adult co-worker in his desk makes him a pervert.

pro-sipper: Do antis know that their “reading about criminal activities makes you a criminal” rhetoric is walking hand in hand with right wing “seeing gay people on tv made my kid gay”? Do they care?

Pro-censorship, pro-harassment “fans” who go around cyberbullying women and queer writers over so-called “problematic” ships are the reincarnations of victorian era quacks who believed that reading novels would destroy a lady’s morals.

Man some people *really* can’t handle the simple fact that “author chose not to warn” aka “may or may not contain peanuts” is a valid warning.
They simply do not. They believe everything should be accessible to them personally. They prioritize their own demands for comfort as an audience over the artistic choices of the creator. They lack self control to put down and stop engaging[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
