I love stealing ocs from preds

if you are against censorship, it means you understand that the things you personally hate and find disgusting have the same rights to exist as the things that you love. it means you understood any censorship is a fascist tool meant to control people with lesser power. it means you understand censorship can start at the things that you hate, before it eventually comes for the things that you love, as well as your own rights.

censorship will never stop at one thing. once you allow it to happen, you already give people in power the ability to take away your own rights and freedom.

but

personal information <— not something anyone should be sharing on the internet to begin with. but if a person insists on blasting their own passwords or social security number online, then I guess at that point it’s natural selection

hate, violence, child porn (yes, it’s called porn, not c0rn. what the fuck is c0rn) <— define “hate and violence and child porn”, because as long as no real child, person or animal is harmed, then that content has the rights to exist. do I hate fanfic that involves minor characters being sexually assaulted? yes. do I think it should be banned? no. because you cannot ban one thing you personally hate and expect censorship to end at that thing you personally hate. your personal comfort is not a universal rule and that is not how censorship works. you’re naive to think it is.

“identifying as an animal is cringe.” ❌

“here’s 5 dollars” ✅

“all physical therians are delusional and need help.” ❌

“here’s 5 dollars” ✅

“factkins aren’t valid.” ❌

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.

Also did you know that not only not all zoos are bestialists (the correct term for animal rapist), but also not all bestialists are zoos? This is because attraction is not the reason a rapist.. well, rapes. The reason, is not caring at all about morals, laws, consequences and causing harm to vulnerable others if they get a benefit (sexual pleasure) out of it

Someone can EASILY be aware of what consent is, have morals, understand harm and consequences and also have an attraction :/

Like I said, that's just incorrect.

And yes, if someone with a paraphilia is excluded from all spaces they will end up in pro-contact spaces that will radicalize them into thinking that rape(or any form of sexual assault/abuse) is okay or that animals(children, dead people, and such) can consent, and encourage them to act on it. It is not because of the paraphilia they have, is because (sadly) they end up in echo chambers of harmful stuff because of external hate. This is not an "excuse", it's an explanation. That's how it just fucking works

Returning to the original point: "kill all (insert paraphilia)" is not helpful to anyone. It will not help victims, it will not help people with paraphilic disorders, it is harmful to those with para-OCD, it will make people turn to harmful groups for acceptance/kill themselves
