Pedophilia is bad should not be a radical statement.
No really, please reblog this if you can, because this site in general, but fandom spaces especially bad for this, to the point where people are genuinely afraid of harassment they may face for saying ‘Pedophilia is a bad thing and you probably should not encourage it’ or for calling it what it is. Fandom spaces are also especially bad for screaming about how it’s ‘just fiction’ when we know damn well that fiction impacts reality.
it just blows me away when people say like “kink is amoral and apolitical” and “i know the difference between fantasy and reality :)” to defend pedo shit or racist or transphobic shit like. anyone who paid the slightest bit of attention in a highschool “intro to psychology” class would be able to tell you that associating a concept with the reward of sexual pleasure is going to condition you in major ways even if you arent conscious of it
like duh your conscious realizes that in like (for example) a ddlg situation you arent Literally a parent and child, no ones suggesting otherwise, but thats not the issue.
the actual deal is that your brain is being conditioned to associate children’s toys and even the concept of children with sexual pleasure, part of the body’s reward system that forms the basis of conditioning. your conscious mind is not the only part of your brain at work, like on a physical chemical level your subconscious forms and directs every thing that “you” think and do, so the whole consciously knowing the difference between fantasy and reality absolutely does not change anything
y’all are all for men rejecting traditional gender roles and holding hands with their friends and shit but that moment men actually DO that y’all call them gay and ship them together so don’t try and say that “‘society”’ is the only thing fucked up here
If I see one more of those kinds of things as “”“"evidence”“”“ that a celebrity/youtuber/that-shy-boy-in-your-class isn’t straight I’m going to scream, because 1) please allow boys and men platonic affection this is the entire problem and 2) yeah maybe they are but if you’re right that’s just called outing someone and isn’t cool
Someone finally said it
the issue is not that people call them gay for showing platonic affection, it’s that men are so offended that they could be mistakened as gay that they deny themselves of emotional support to prove their heterosexuality.
shipping real people or outting them in any way is disgusting, but don’t act like it’s not men’s own homophobia that’s preventing them from forming deeper attachment to other men. you need to get to the root of the problem.
and it’s not like people don’t make assumptions or ask questions when straight people show affection platonically. why is it offensive when it’s two men?
Yeah sorry but the way to fix this problem is to remove the stigma around being gay because you fucking losers never complain about ppl are mistaken for a straight couple. get back to me when I can hug girls without being asked if we’re dating and maybe I’ll let you focus on straight men showing platonic affection to each other.
Tbh just say you want a new way to excuse straight men’s homophobia and go?
highly intelligent children are still children, children who look older than they are are still children, children who act older than they are are still children, children who want to be older than they are are still children, children who have been through a lot are still children
and all children should be treated in a respectful way that acknowledges their personhood, but that doesn’t mean treating them as though they are adults.
The high standards of masculinity that is put upon men is actually enforced by other men, and have nothing to do with women. It is not an example of ways that women “oppress” men
As someone who has dealt with depression for years, I can confirm this is incredibly good advice.
just so you know, daniel harmon is an autistic writer, producer, and voice actor. it’s incredibly important that we don’t erase autistic creators; all of this is also important, but erasure is a huge problem and it’s so so vital for autistic kids to see (mentally ill and multifaceted) autistic adult creators and know that’s what they can grow up to be.
Today on International Women’s Day let’s not forget that 1 in 3 Mexican women will be a victim of sexual violence and that on average there is 7 reported femicides every day, stress on reported because many crimes against women do not go reported. And from the crimes that are reported roughly only one quarter of them are investigated and less than 2% lead to sentencing.
