Oh wow, a personal mention! Look mum, I’m famous. But anyways, I didn’t block you for that reason (the one in the post). I had you blocked way back in December (before or after, give or take), after I responded to one of your posts. I only unblocked you now because that very friend told me about the post you made about me. And it’s easy to see now that the post my friend sent (which caused me to make that post in the first place) was one of yours. They blacked out the name when they sent it to me.
Now, instead of calling me a feral anti, why don’t we have a proper discussion or simply be civil about the matter? We’re both adults ain’t we? I’m not taking back what I said on the post. But maybe you can educate me if you reply, since you’re older. I literally don’t want to fight or argue, I just want to understand. And, tbh just say the word and I’ll delete that post.
I really don't have the energy to keep explaining to the fetuses in fandom why moralizing about how people relate to their fictional character activities — which includes writing smut about anything and anybody/any pairing under the sun — is thought policing and censorship.
your desire to understand sounds sincere, so here we go. This is going to contain a lot of frank talk about sex and art.
Imma let go of that creepy little child hand and wave my finger with a huge sigh: You weren't raised to understand or relate to fiction properly. It's mostly our goddamn fault, because humans are fucktarded, and some of them began to not just blur but erase the lines between fantasy and reality by insisting their micromanaging identity politics into the world of entertainment. Can't be a straight guy portraying a 🏳️🌈 anymore; they have to be gay themselves (which goes against the fundamentals of acting).
Yes, yes, yes, representation is a thing and Hollywood's been working overtime to ensure good rep of non-cis, non-white, non-heteros in their media. But I'm not talking about representation, I'm talking about the psychology relative to the craft, and how all of this has had a ripple effect right down to how you kids interpret entertainment media. It led to this idea that an actor had to be what they were portraying when it comes to sexual identification or out of contextual actions on screen.
Lemme sit down now and tell you something: You don't have to be the thing you portray in movies or TV, if you're an actor. It's acting, entertainment, and distraction from more serious shit (which we need right now).
Writers don't have to be the thing they're writing about, either; they're stories, and the most talented writers can get into others' heads and write about anything under the sun.
Now, how do we get from there to understanding why it's okay to ship Weemsday or Wenovan (or Gatesmonster, I suppose). Writers. We don't have to be what we write. Not a one of us who writes any of that stuff — that I know of — encourages minors to go fuck an older person or vice versa "just like in the fic".
We're not writing about real people; we have creative license to do whatever we want with and to them, including writing up whatever smutty thoughts might come to mind. Why? Because people are intensely complex, kid. They're are capable of getting off to anything, people have gotten off to anything, and I don't hate to tell you that you can't and won't ever change the fact that some of these are based on coming of age stories that you can't fathom. It's not that it's normalized in the manner that the young have come to known "normalized" as negative; our degenerate thoughts and actions are more common than not, and sometimes those authors like to share them with the rest of the class.
Excuse what actions? Writing about (e.g.) Sheriff Galpin fucking Wednesday with a bunny tail in her ass? I don't "make excuses" for my work. It's smut. Smut is a tool for entertainment. I'm not out there waving a huge flag that says, "WOOHOO, UNDERAGE OLD COP FUCK, DO IT!" No one is. The arguments about the sex contained in these frivolous stories are null when one considers the other tools that humans use to get off.
The Netflix Wednesday Addams is miles and miles above any young female that exists in reality. She is the existent non-existent model who does not need to live by our rules or morality, upon which all fandom creatives can safely apply their stories. And note towards my own perspective: Time and time again I have to remind people of how I'm writing from Wednesday's imagined 16-year-old perspective. She wants what she wants, and no one's going to tell her no. I would suspect this goes for Weemsday people too, in some cases (I haven't read too much Weemsday). I based that characteristic partially on myself, since I was sexually precocious and my body reached maturation early.
People who are [highly] sexed like to watch/listen/participate in sexual things. Fandom is highly sexed. No matter what fandom it is, it's about shipping and usually sex. Some people write about the sex they've had, some people have never had it and write it anyway (and it shows...💩).
I think I have to take a moment to give you access to things that, above my word that I'm positive you think is sketchy anyway (since you think that my shipping is wrong). I have some books for you to read which might help you to understand human sexuality, behavior, and psychology a bit more instead of learning everything you fkn know from the internet.
{{ Draftrot ETA: Book list was supposed to go here, but I put it in a totally separate post. }}
Listen to yourselves: Some of you antis say that our works can be used to "groom" people. How the fuck is my story about a 16-year-old stoner with electricity shooting out of her hands fucking her father's ex-nemesis cop dude going to be used to groom someone? Do you hear yourselves?

There might be another but I dunno. This is the one I remember, though and it's from
