protecting children is not a slippery slope toward total authoritarian censorship

online fandom was a huge part of my early self-expression, but there were (and still are) communities that hold pleasure so sacred that their ‘anything goes’ policy lets groomers, manipulators, and racists run rampant, and it left childhood scars ngl

it doesn’t have to be censure OR freedom; creativity can coexist with moderation without limiting the art or restricting exploration of darker subjects

...yes. literally more than once. worn the bras. still hated them.

it doesn’t have to be ill-fitting to be unnatural and invasive.

if you like your underwires, great! if you don’t experience discomfort, awesome! if you’re too self-conscious to not wear them, been there, bought the t-shirt, you’re totally fine.

but please.
