korrasera: freedom-of-fanfic: [tw for discussions of pedophilia, csa, cp, abuse, and rape.] after spending a while picking at the question of why people who subscribe to purity culture are so much more concerned with wiping out fictional content of questionable morality & policing what people think about rather than smoking out actual abusers and helping support the recovery of their victims, I had a small (though possibly obvious to others!) epiphany. this helps me understand why fandom anti-shippers are so unrepentant about trampling all over survivors who don’t recover in socially acceptable ways or minors who dissent with anti-shippers, despite fandom anti-shipping usually being set up as ‘protecting children’. Survivors are only cautionary tales, and if you misstep, you basically opened the door on abuse yourself. (and all the while encouraging minors to interact with (or exposing minors to) the very people/content they’re supposedly protecting them from.) This nicely summarizes my main gripe with antis, because they are fully well willing to let actual children be abused and exposed to cp as long as they can rationalize it away as being necessary in their fight for innocence. If your ideology requires you to allow a child to be harmed to protect your ideology, it has no merit and no one should ever respect it. -- source link
