I feel like I should be transparent on my opinions on pro/anti shipping
I am anti censorship because I study history and politics and I know media censorship of taboo problematic art always includes silencing queer/radical/poc art because that too is lumped into the label of taboo. I just donāt think you can legally censor things in a way that wonāt silence queer art in the current status quo. You see that pattern still with a lot of current bills being introduced.
But in being anti censorship I also think criticism is important and shouldnāt be discouraged either. I think representation of sensitive topics matter and donāt exist in a vacuum of fiction. I donāt think the harm done in fiction is identical to real life but all ideas come from places and some are places are reminiscent of real life violence and oppression. Critiquing problematic fiction as a way to transition to discussions about real life issues is great in that way. I donāt think having a conversation about how art is offensive = censoring people.
I also am anti hostility, I think threatening people with violence only polarizes everything. I donāt think one group is āanti harassmentā and the other is āpro harassmentā I think both have the capacity to be cruel and hateful.
But tdlr, I think media should be free and I also think because things are free people can be free to be offended, uncomfortable, and upset. Iām also media literate (I like to think at least) and am generally uncomfortable with incest, rape, and pedophilia- and think itās not crazy for people to be sensitive and uncomfortable around those topics. But I think itās dangerous to stop creation and discussion on those things as a whole.
Most the time I just block and move on though. I donāt know what that makes me exactly.
