An Open Letter to the Governments Enforcing Online Censorship Laws:
I donât usually get political on here. But Iâm angry. And Iâm scared.
Whatâs happening right now in the UK and Australia? Itâs not just about "protecting kids" from NSFW content. Itâs about control. Itâs about censorship disguised as morality. And it terrifies me for whatâs coming next because it always comes next.
They say itâs to keep minors safe. But censorship never stops at its first excuse. Give a government an inch, and it swallows miles. Thatâs not a theory. Itâs history. And history doesnât just repeat. It escalates.
As someone who creates dark, explicit fiction, this feels personal. This is my warning bell. The stories I write, the ones people try to silence arenât just "fucked up smut." Theyâre lifelines. Theyâre therapy. Theyâre how people process pain, explore the shadows, reclaim power, or just survive another goddamn day. Dark content can be grotesque, yes, but it can also be honest, raw, human. It makes you feel. It makes you face what others ignore. Thatâs why theyâre afraid of it.
And letâs stop pretending this is really about the kids.
If it were, the Epstein files would be public. The names would be prosecuted. Grooming gangs wouldnât be swept under the rug for political convenience. The child protection system wouldnât be a funnel of unchecked abuse. If they cared about children, they'd fix whatâs broken. But they donât. Because this was never about children. Itâs about sanitizing the internet into a dead, glossy facade that makes governments and corporations feel clean.
What enrages me more than the laws themselves are the people applauding them. The ones nodding along, chanting âthink of the childrenâ while blindly handing over their freedoms like itâs some righteous offering. It's cowardice dressed up as virtue.
This doesnât end with porn bans. It never does. First they silence desire. Then dissent. Then everything else that makes art and freedom, dangerous.
You may not care now. But you will, when itâs your voice they smother next.
TL;dr Reblog this if you believe in freedom of expression. Say nothing and watch it get stripped away.
