I've been really struggling lately to express how uncomfortable and boxed in I feel about this stuff, mostly because I'm scared shitless about rejection or people otherwise assuming shitty things about me. It's getting to the point where it's affecting my mental health pretty badly trying to make myself not talk about it and continue to act like everything's okay around people who are committed to reading some of the most marginalized around us in the worst possible faith. Anyway this article is good
it's the whole gang!

Getting increasingly obnoxiously reminded of the makerspace I bought a bunch of computers for to establish a community classroom, and how they immediately instead moved to invite in the convicted chimo who'd been banned from the other nearby makerspace for using their computers to whack off to cp without his probation officer finding out, and how disappointed they were at how I wasn't sufficiently enthusiastic about being made an accessory to all that.
kinda concerning that at that point it sounds like his probation officer still hadn't found out
there were, and are, a number of ways in which having a bunch of heretofore normal-seeming people pop up insisting that this was all good and cool and anyone who objected to it was just being a cop was alarming! I did not stick around for the thrilling conclusion once it became apparent they were going to get their way at least until the PO did.
fandoms are bad, brigading is bad, "countering" an article's merits with misused sociopolitical terms bad; etc etc

Wow. I didn’t believe that antishipping was really exactly what it said on the tin but it sure is huh
It's wild how much harm this has all done in the name of fake ass protections for kids that the people behind these bills could not care less about. And it's also strange how the actual effects of this so often either aren't talked about, or are somehow turned into "The fact that this site has banned child porn is a hate crime" in various spaces as though there is no middle ground between those two. A state of being that I am sure the sex workers most effected by this love to have to deal with. And the end result to all this is how people end up in a state stuck thinking "uhhhh. Well guess I need to vote harder??? Be more horny on main??? Fuck I don't know!"

Thank you. I remember seeing this article being tossed around a while back, and it's so fucking wild that people here equate "minors and young adults wanting some (maybe ill-advised) ability to moderate fandom spaces" with "Hateful Conservative Bullshit." Fandom-brained people sucks so much ass lol.
thanks for this reply i feel insane looking at this because it isnt based in any reality ive known on the internet. hate to see all this dumbass strawmanning about "antis" reach cohost
