âUm, we are entitled to call you a weirdo if you make freaky art. Stop acting like that's censorship!â
Yeah, except that calling people weird is not where it ends. It's awfully convenient to leave out how often proshippers get told to kill themselves, jump, slit their wrist, bite the curb, "keys without the e", or whatever other way antis reword their death threats. With slurs and other insults in the middle too. Sure, antis are entitled to think proshippers are weird, but if that's the case, proshippers are allowed to think antis are unhinged as fuck.
Also, I'll stop saying antis call for censorship when they stop witch hunting artists they dislike off platforms, or trying to get fics off of AO3, or wanting to get AO3 banned altogether, or cheering when authors get jailed for fiction, or excusing a censorship happy state because "the author should have known better", or being pro book and videogame bans, or supporting KOSA and similar authoritarian reforms.
I'll stop calling them kink negative and pro censorship once they drop the radfem and conservative âfor the kids!!â rhetoric, when they realise that disgusting doesn't mean harmful. But until then, if they are gonna quack like a duck, look like duck and swim like a duck, they might as well be one for all I care.
I'll stop calling them fascists when they stop calling for actual book burnings. I'll stop calling them fascists when they stop designing mascots that have the appearance taken straight from Nazi propaganda material, arm wrap, and everything. I'll stop calling them fascists when they stop to try to censor the freedom of speech and expression based on their self-centered and self-serving sense of morality.
