I am one in a krillion

(this is not hate, js want your thoughts)

I have already answered this question a million times before, respectfully. so my answer probably won’t be as detailed as the other times I’ve answered it, but a rough summary of what I have already said so many times on this blog.

firstly, no, it cannot be cp if the “child” is a fictional character. it’s dark fantasy. it’s someone’s imagination. it is NOT REAL.

moving on to how I feel about such content, anything with characters who are minors in a sexual manner is not my thing. so personally I don’t engage with it if I ever come across it. but people can do whatever they want forever as long as it’s fiction and no one in real life is harmed. thoughtcrimes are not real. so I will just mind my own business.

people write about taboo things for so many reasons. some of them are victims and survivors who cope and heal through dark fiction. but even if some of them write it as a kink, there’s still nothing wrong with that as long as they use fiction as a way to satisfy their needs, so that they won’t go out there and actually hurt real people.

no, censorship will never “protect” anything. if you believe censorship can ever be good, then you’ve fallen for fascist propaganda. because the thing about censorship is that it’s all or nothing. either everything that is not of conservative value is censored or nothing is censored.

anti censorship means nothing is censored. even if it’s something I personally find extremely disgusting.

you cannot have “a little censorship” and expect it to stop at that one thing you personally hate and find harmful. because every other thing is hated and considered harmful by some people too. there are people who say the portrayal of queer love in media should be censored because “it’s harmful”.

so if we allow and normalize censorship. it will not stop at just one thing.

you have the responsibility to curate your internet experience. if you don’t like something, you have the rights to block, mute or ignore those things. but you do NOT have the rights to control other people and tell them what they can or can’t create/consume.

if someone lets fiction affect their reality enough to the point they think bad things in fiction are okay in real life because they’re portrayed as such in fanfics, then chances are that with or without the fiction they consume, they’re already troubled and they need help. but fanfic writers are not their parents. we are not their parents.

it’s not our responsibility to censor ourselves for them or for the sake of anybody’s personal comfort.
