You can’t say you believe children are people while tying their personhood to their parent’s desires. Same argument people used to make about women.
i feel like one of the consequences of fandom becoming more mainstream is that "i ship it" became synonymous with "i want to see this on canon"
and i CANNOT stress enough how most of my ships are meant to exist on ao3 only
James Somerton's co-author's defense against the plagiarism accusation being "It's impossible for my work to be plagiarism because I don't do any research ever" is, maybe, the funniest thing to come out of this so far
i think i learned very early in my life not to judge someone's ship because i also learned very early in my life i'm just one good fic away from shipping literally anything and that kinda makes you humble
Nicholas Galitzine is the perfect romantic lead. he looks absolutely charmed by anyone he works with. his eyes are begging for the most mushy love-making ever done in history all the time.
heartstopper really proves that making the softest, most unproblematic thing possible for the sake of "good representation" doesn't protect queer people
its own fans are deeply biphobic
im sorry for Kit, hope he is doing alright
Watching Hannibal but everytime he commits a crime i shake my head in disapprovement and say "no no no" so everyone knows I don't think eating people is good
@anomalous_blake
I never said I liked the fact that hannibal was a cannibal, it's simply a part of the show I don't condone it within or outside the show
so many antis angry that bryan fuller, a gay man, tweeted about his adult characters having gay sex and you want to tell me this ISNT about being homophobic?
one of the things i LOVE about this version of lestat is hw he is androgenious and, lets be honest here, fag as fuck, while being bisexual and seducing men and woman
bi men are hardly ever allowed to be fem in media
lestat's raj costume references women's rococo fashion- he wears panniers to create a subtler/smaller version of the rectangular skirt silhouette that was popular in the late 18th century, and he has an open neckline showing off his jewelry instead of a masc cravat/high collar
All this "whats a 22 yo has in common with a 19 yo" and stuff has me thinking those people have GOT to be so sheltered.
I'm 25 and i have friends from 14 to 60 lmao
I met the youngest bc my friend is a teacher who sometimes plays online games with the queer and/or isolated+
just yesterday people were complaining about the cis women who read m/m content just for the gay porn but now a gay man talks about sex and its too dirty too
maybe it was never about protecting queers, maybe it was homophobia all along
not in a "oh canon cant have bad ships" way, but a bunch of my ships can only exist if you dedicate time off the main plot to explore relationships that make no sense thematically with the story
a bunch are fun, "what if" scenarios
i love harry/Voldemort but can you IMAGINE
I have to take a shower so I'll be brief, but the reason why radfems are fucking wrong all the time is because their theory relies on the idea that woman are opressed, and always were, because of biology. They believe sexism started when humans started to hunt +
BTW, this is why I've never subscribed to "The only thing wrong with TERF is the trans-exclusionary part! Not the radical feminist part!"
Sorry but the entire basis of the trans-exclusionary part rests on the radical feminist basis.
It's Intersectional feminism or nothing.
Hello! I'm a scientist and I love fact checking so I adore getting sources - even if they disagree with me!
I'll check the articles listed here with the best of my ability and i promise i'll try to remain as neutral as possible, thought i recommend checking them by yourself!

@Shenkie221
There are laws to make all rights that adults have be adequate to minors. School (not homeschool), food, sports, right to privacy (especially medical privacy), right to not be judged as an adult in the law, protection against physical abuse....
@godswallowing
@Caterfree10
"but how will the reader know its bad???" do you... do you need a fanfic writter to tell you murder is bad???? how old ARE you ?? what are you doing reading fanfiction??
@ravenswxng
Basic rights for kids! Rights to go to school and do sports, rights to request medical privacy from your parents, right to not be judged as an adult in the eyes of the law
A lot of rights against child abuse in general
is this "age-appropriate" obsession an USamerican thing? bc like ofc you dont show explicit sex or huge displays of violence to minors but i dont remember anyone ever caring if a book was "for my age" ever since i stopped being like 7
this post is insane bc people keep saying "antis is what proshippers call normal people"
bro... you gave yourself that name. we were just chilling and YOU started the discourse and YOU named yourselves "anti-shippers"
also "normal people" pls talk to non-fandom people
Every star trek show is great but only ds9 could do "i believe we can be better tomorrow than we are today" while doing "we must stare at the worse of yourselves and sit with it" while doing "Aliens sure are funky" while doing "queer found family"
This got a LOT of traction somehow so you should check out Todd in the Shadows' video about this and more lies by this iconic duo! Aparently all they can do is steal, lie and hate women and asian people!
God i was reading an arranged marriage fanfic yesterday where the terms of the marriage are discussed to a DETAIL to make sure the whole thing is consensual and everyone is happy with it, and its good and no one is being coerced
Its..... An arranged marriage fanficion......
Character A: "[expresses opinion] but of course it's okay if someone has a different opinion!"
Character B: "Of course, all of our opinions are based on our own experiences, so it's only natural that sometimes we differ!"
Character C: "Unless the opinion is harmful!"
ENOUGH!!!
@Shenkie221
Its ofc not ideal, especially bc a lot of it requires kids to turn against their parents, and abusive parents are REALLY manipulative
But it's their legal right to request all of this and if denied they can move out to a shelter or to a close relative
"oh what do you gain from being friends with a teen" i dont make friends to gain something?? Also she is better than me at Genshin Impact so she sometimes comes to my world to kill La Signora for me
sorry but i'm actually pissed with people "protecting" miguel o'hara bc y'all only remember latine people when there is a hot fictional men for you to save from the dirty shippers
we have real problems here
Kids in their class, and they invited me and some other friends to join! She has since been more outgoing and started talking more to kids her age too, she needed the company of older queers to feel better about herself.
The oldest was my professor in college and we
my unpopular opinion is that you can't be "right" about whether a fanart is shippy or not. unless the characters are explicitly sexual/romantic, it's part of the art to allow interpretation.
you can't be angry that someone "lied" to you about intent, art doesn't work like that
The more academic i become the less i want to think during my hobbies. I stop working and i am no longer smart. I want to play games where things are pretty and read books about vampires pls no more thoughts ive done enough
Just talked a lot after class, first about physics and then about life. He is an older queer men, who has very few queer friends because most of them, you know, died in the 80s.
Its. It's all perfectly fine and good and fun! People have things in common bc we are human beings
and women where left at home to take care of kids. this is, of course, ahistorical and fake. Sexism as we know it is not a consequence of biology, and there were hundreds of societies before colonialist that either weren't sexist or had different sexual steryotypes
this also ignores class and race when discussing oppression. How black women were treated during the slave trades, how asian women were treated during the 1800s, how even today sexism has different faces.
@ThayIsTired
ITS SO FUCKING FUNNY
"oh no I never plagiarize anything bc I never read! All my facts are truth in my heart tho ✨✨hope this clears things up!"
oh god youre going make this leave my bubble arent you?
to be clear, there is nothing wrong about loving heartstopper, i too want some sugar in my life, but its not and has never been "better" for queer people to have "good representation" turned into nothing but fluff
they usually are transphobes because if gender oppression is based on biology, you cannot change genders, as it only exist as a tool of opression. It's why they compare it to blackface. Even when they aren't transphobes, they are still fucking wrong, and looking at the
particular experiences of white, educated, european and american woman, in the 1900 and 2000s. As a framework of sexism is a pretty bad one, considering they are also the top of the food chain in basically any other system. It's bad because its a narrow view of a big problem.
First of all I'm sorry this happened to OP, if you allow me I'll drop some thoughts bc this is... Kinda why i became proship
I actually hate fandom discourse. I think it's dumb that it exists. I hated it when it was kataang vs Zutara back in 2010, and i hate it now +
yk i've never commented before on the a/nti vs. pr0shipper thing, bc i view the basic premise as ultimately meaningless internet drama, but it must be said that pro/shippers have never spammed me with death threats and harrassment, all for a ship i don't even ship OR post about
@KaylaAncrum
When i re-read my old fanfics i think its charming, bc i can tell i was developing the style i have today and it's really adorable, but i wouldn't say it was good lol, maybe goof for my age
@amandawtwong
@LA_Knight89
I've been watching Quantum Leap and I couldn't stop thinking about how the main character was hotter than most actors in tv shows today despite not being the most handsome or anything. He was just sweaty and looked like a human
1) Fiction Impacts Aggressive Behavior
out of the bat the article claims videogames can cause violence, which HAS been disproven before, so I don't trust it. it describes the article well enough - i'll talk about it in a second - but it ends with this
Making my art check all the "bad art" marks to make sure facists hate it !!!
If my art didnt destroy canon, mocks the concept of values and celebrate ugliness i dont even consider it art
it has come to my attention that there is some cultural differences in what people call "friends", so keep this in mind if you are plaining on being mad at me in the replies
Every few months we proshipper eat our own (
@adybpt
and
@lizcourserants
most famously) and tbh you guys finding old tweets without context to frame them as evil makes me think some of you actually just want a fight
AND if you give the government power to kill people they will use this to kill the people they want dead
crimes that arent rape might be categorized as rape if committed by a black or queer person, rich assholes who rape will be charged for something ELSE
I cant believe I keep seeing leftists say we should have death penalty for rapists 💀 you morons realize that would just cause rapists to kill their victims right
all links provided are not directly studies, but reports on said studies. I know to most people its the most accessible form of information, so i'll check both the article and the scientific papers it cites!
... it's quite the coincidence that there has been a push to make fanfiction more "clean" and "palatable" (the Good Gays and not the bad, evil ones) while, at the same time, has been a push to make fanfiction more profitable
quite the coincidence indeed
ViacomCBS has announced its partnership with Wattpad, using the website to mine for stories to adapt into original series for streaming services like Paramount Plus,
@Verge
reports.
The company hopes this will help them better appeal to Gen Z and millennial audiences.
@adybpt
@lizcourserants
people in the replies saying "adults should have JOBS"... im so sorry capitalism has already corrupted you into thinking your job should be your main personality trait and priority
@isaac_evilman
Yeah i think a lot of people misdirect their (correct) uneasiness with porn to the content and not the abuse happening in the industry with real people
If you say a drawing of fictional characters is csem, and you repost them censored by emojis, you are basically admitting you dont actually think its csem. If that was actually a crime, reproducing it again would be a crime, and honestly censoring it with poop emojis
Absolutely no proship/profic/whatever things that fiction has absolutely no effect on reality. its just not a clean cut, a 1:1 line, its complex and hard and weird! dark fiction and straight up racism are NOT the same thing
@Archangel_nx
@emykurisu
Cara eu nao consigo ver como cores diferentes então esse seu twitte me bugou pq eu nao notei atr ver ele que vocês tao vendo outras cores
This is why i HATE the narrative of "your abuser doesn't love you" pushed in fandom. Yeah. Sometimes they do. Sometimes they love you and its still abuse and you still need to get away.
People hate humanising depictions of abusers because it forces them, for just a few minutes, to live in the complicated emotional reality that many people trapped in abuse endure for years and even decades.
cause vs consequence is frequently mixed in radfem theory. they will argue that women have fewer medical studies because or biology is ignored, and fail to notice our biology is ignored BECAUSE they view womens as subhumans. POC have the same issue.
@tropotropotropo
Isn't.... Isnt lucy like 30?? I haven't seen the show yet but jer actress looks around 30???why she wouldn't be a consenting adult woman????
OH I wont leave it at that just because OP also mentions THIS which is really import to add
fiction has been used to reinforce prejudice for ages. it requires an already established issue, so the reader can feed their fear/hate
its not a magical force, its just a face of racism
@kaibastan
@coinofstone
Yeah its not perfect in any way and a lot of kids have awful experiences, but they work a lot better here apparently.
Also adopted kids have the right to check their information and their birth-parents information if available, if they want!
i'll stop and shower now. read books by black feminists, african feminists, latine feminists, asian feminists, native feminists, and be free of radfem theory
me, at a bar tabled filled with normies (i had to literally explain what rule 34 is): anyways yeah i wrote sam+dean incest fanfic
the normie people i had just met: lmao nice you write fanfiction! whats the weirdest you read?
@SamAburime
the premise of radical feminism is that gender oppression is a universal experience on all women and guides all other oppressions. Not class (or race), but gender is the true last boss battle to fight. its inherently wrong on its fundementals
it doesn't help that a lot of prominent radfem theorists were also fascists. They believed biology made the white men more powerful, meaning they believed biology was the reason women were seen as less than.
@spyglasssextet
Yeah the issue is that if your parents are good parents that won't make a difference, but for abusive parents (especially when this ties with homeschool) this can break a kid
I can name many ships that are exactly that and still get death threats over, why is that?
(Pss, its bc this is about dumb ship wars and they dont really care about morality)
its about how your brain trains itself to be more empathic, to understand pain and loss, to connect with people you dont know about.... there is absolutely nothing here that agrees with OPs point of view
protip: if you save an article on pocket you can read it with no paywall
@vorejutsu
this has the same energy but stronger of people shipping age gap things but going "age up [name] ofc lmao im not a p*do", its like you can smell the deep rooted shame. its ok you wanna read about the older men fucking the twink say it out loud
i can't imagine how terrifying it must be for your entire social circle to be made up of people who would harass you if they knew what art you enjoy. you should run from these kind of people.
my Twitter will ALWAYS be a safe place for people trying to get away
It's surprising that my CC is suddenly becoming a confession for 'antis' who want to enjoy problematic content but they can't because they are scared of their 'friends'.
I'm not a proshipper bc i enjoy calling out antis, I'm one bc I believe jn fighting the right wing movement in all fronts, in queer art and bc i want me and everyone to have a good in fandom
Some of you are proshippers bc you want fandom wars
2) Opinion | The Neuroscience of Your Brain on Fiction
it's an opinion piece, which is NOT a good sign at all. BUT its so interesting! i couldnt find the articles they talk about, but its about our response to words - how reading the word "soap" activated both the parts of our
