Do antis and aphobes who yell about shipping actually give a damn about RL pedophilia culture like super extreme gender specific school dress codes, or parents who don’t let girls wear like tank tops or leggings in the house because it’s “inappropriate” for the father/brothers to see, or parents who think their same sex children don’t get to have boundaries from them because “we’re all boys/girls here,” or parents who tell their daughters “you’re a woman now” the day they get their first period and then treat them as sexually equivalent to a woman even though they’re maybe 10 or 12, or mothers who think they can put their hands up their daughter’s shirt to “stretch it out” or minutely pick over her body sexually “because I just don’t want you to look like rape bait, sweetie"—or is it only if it’s fictional characters in a made up story where half the time what’s going on isn’t nearly that bad anyway?

I wanna throw up in my mouth reading this. First of all, gtfo with this “antis and aphobes” b/s. Secondly, as an actual CSA victim, I can acknowledge that there are pedophiles in fandom spaces that we shouldn’t be enabling AND exposing real life situations that enable those very same pedophiles at the same time!!! I can walk and talk and chew gum, all at the same time!!! Fucking ground breaking!!!
