That IS very funny! The fact of it is that antis never consider any standards besides their own to be important. Their political opinions are “correct”, their morals are the “correct morals.”
They can’t imagine that censorship would be used against anything other than what they disagree with.
Also this makes me want to read the transformers comics.
I’m sorry I am still mad about this. Watching antis act like fictional characters on the page have some kind of free will, or rights that need to be protected is baffling and alarming.
No characters are capable consent.
I can’t even describe how twisted it is that someone would think that the rights of a fictional character not to be trumped the rights of an author to write about characters being harmed.
And I say this as fictionkin and a fictive.
Writing doesn’t create experience. Someone writing a bad thing doesn’t inflict that on a specific person.
Characters in the page aren’t real.
Fictionkin and fictives are real people who for whatever reason they ascribe to are fictional characters.
But they are not the character concepts themselves and while we can but UPSET by fiction that involves harm to our character concepts it does not inflict harm directly on us the real people.
Fictionkin/fictives and the characters they are represented by in fiction are separate.
Fictional characters can not consent to anything, and the idea of their consent is not important .
The rights of real people walking around in the real world are what matter.
