“I don't mind when it’s, like, a 17-year-old and a 19-year-old, but there was a person on my dash playing a 42-year-old who was shipping with someone who had a 7-year-old muse. I don't care if you salty bitches are gonna cry censorship or whatever because I, as a normal person, was uncomfortable by that, but let's call it what it is: It's pretty sick. If me calling it that makes YOU uncomfortable, then you can practise what you preach and "ignore it if you don't like it".“

“@ OP: If you think attraction to 11-14 year olds is a “murky topic” because “teens are attractive”, then you're the problem. Get off the internet, go outside, and find a therapist.“

“I understand being leery about people who write dark content if they write it like it's something good and desirable and sexy, but if somebody writes 1 thread and tags it and cuts it, while writing with another person that consented to it, I... don't see the problem. They might even be coping? Just block them if it disgusts you...“

“"You can't write this. It’s called GROOMING!!111" Uhhh, last time I checked, literally ANYTHING can be used by a predator to groom a child. That's the thing about predators; they don't CARE what they use as long as it leads to what they want. Screaming at someone to stop writing isn't going to help. If you want predators to stop grooming kids, then ban television, music and the internet as a whole. That one roleplay thread that rustled your jimmies isn't going to do squat.“

“So, what you're saying is that my having a rape fantasy is equivalent to me wanting to get actually raped or, worse, for others to get raped. Are you fucking insane? Do you have any idea how wildly different it is to enact a "dangerous" fantasy with someone you trust versus actually having that thing happen to you? I volunteer for an organization that helps abused women, for fuck's sake. I do more good in the world in a single day than you have spending months policing what people write.“

“Damn it, nobody is saying you aren't allowed to dislike things. Everybody has things they dislike. What you aren't allowed to do is police other people who happen to like those things. You are in charge of your own experience, whether that means asking for tags, blocking, or just logging the fuck off Tumblr until you can grow up a little. I fucking hate Steven Universe, but I'm not going around bitching about my followers liking it. Just fucking block it and MOVE ON.“

“Holy projection, Batman! That's not what they said at all, lol. They're uncomfortable with pedo ships and family ships. Eh, I ship plenty of incest ships (twincest more often than not), and I'm not throwing a hissy fit over someone venting to a salt blog. They're not preventing you from writing, are they? Who gives a shit? Chill the fuck out.“

“Okay, not going to lie, the sheer number of malicious replies in this thread gives me very little hope for humanity.“
