and if you think me supporting those taboo things in fiction—because I’m mature enough to understand fiction is not reality, thoughtcrimes are not real, censorship is a fascist tool, and people should have the rights and freedom to do whatever they want when they’re not harming anyone in real life—means “I condone those taboo things in real life, because I refuse to harass people for enjoying taboo fiction”, then you’re either dumb or a bully who wants to harass innocent people over fiction in order to support censorship and fascism and feel morally superior. but you’re really just either dumb or a fascist apologist lol

so by “support” I mean I think people have the rights to create and consume whatever they want. I may hate the things they enjoy, but I will always defend their rights to exist without being censored.

initially I didn’t think “letting people do whatever they want, avoiding a certain topic while defending its rights to exist” meant I supported it when all I did was “not care about it but would defend it as well as every other thing in fiction”. but if some people want to say this means I support it then I support it.

Get your boops everyone!!!

if you report fanfiction to police and tell them they should “investigate this because fictional children are being harmed in these fanfiction and I don’t like it!!!!!”, you will get either of these outcomes:

the police will laugh at your face

they will investigate fanfiction, and while they waste their time investigating fanfiction and victimless “crimes”, real children are being hurt elsewhere, and you are taking the police’s time and resources away from these real children. so instead of doing something to actually help save real children, police are too busy trying to protect fictional ones that exist only in fantasies

also ao3 abides by american laws, so actually everything that is posted on the site is legal in america. and no, it’s not “child abuse” or “rape” or “csem” if the “victims” are fictional characters who were harmed in a fictional world (I believe that’s why it’s legal and allowed).

you don’t have to like it. you can find it extremely disgusting. but whether or not you like it, your personal discomfort is not law. for the record, anything that involves (fictional) children in sexual situations makes me super uncomfortable. so I just… don’t seek out fics that I know will make me uncomfortable. it is in fact that easy.

if you are allergic to peanut butter and you swallow a spoonful of peanut butter, knowing damn well that you are allergic, then the one who’s to blame is you. peanut butter alone will not and cannot hurt you unless you shove it in your mouth.
