And how about “if you think it’s illegal, don’t share it with people!”
It’s even worse when they have examples to show you. Like i was randomly pmed on insta one day by an anti with sally williams (creepypasta) porn. If this anti thought making porn was illegal why did they save it? To their phone?
If it WERE illegal, it’s illegal for them to save it or transmit it.
yo, i can’t sleep so i’m gonna be dissecting/debunking this terrible post i saw in the proship tags
“what makes writing an incestuous or a pedophilic relationship in fiction wrong?” nothing, glad we could clear that up. good work, everyone, let’s hit the showers
“the answer is romanticization” ugh there y’all go again with that word you love to throw around. do you even know what it means? can you give me a single source proving that it’s a bad thing? when the fuck has an adult ever been like, “i saw grooming in this danny phantom fanfiction and assumed it was a good thing, i didn’t know it would hurt this kid!” (kids falling for it doesn’t count, they’re allowed to be stupid — and i’m not about to let manipulative adults off the hook by blaming the tools they used)
“what makes pedophilic fictional relationships wrong?” nothing. pedophilic relationships are bad irl because, uh, there’s a real fucking child being abused and manipulated. this cannot happen in fictional settings because the child isn’t real — the writer controls every aspect of their reaction. please stop comparing irl child abuse to drawings
“most if not all, fiction published to Archive of our Own that fall under this category romanticize it” mhm. good for them. why should i care? you have yet to give a reason, let alone a source, proving why this is a problem
“they call it different names” yeah??? because it IS fucking different??? please don’t tell me that you think loli is comparable to csem (of course you do, that’s the point of this post. ugh)
It must be really easy to get through life when you can just throw a tantrum over every little thing and then pat yourself on the back for how “moral” you are.
Adults who still write fanfiction really need to just grow up and get a life. Because it’s totally kids that are dedicating their time to typing up 600k+ words, constantly proof-reading every chapter they produce, making sure their work is beta read, having perfect grammar, a large range of vocabulary and top-tier writing skills, and doing research about the characters that they’re writing for so they can make sure they’re not OOC. Yep, it’s definitely children that are the ones investing their time in all that. Totally.
Also, they way you word this makes it sound like fanfiction is inherently about “fetishizing LGBT people”, which, needless to say, is absolutely not true, and I think says more about you as a person.
As for the “CP” part… I’m not even going to waste my time on this one. You’ve been asked time and time again to stop using the acronym “CP” to describe fanfiction, and recordings or photos of child sexual abuse in general. Children aren’t a fucking porn category. Use the term CSAM/CSAM or don’t fucking discuss the issue regarding the sexualization of children at all.
