"Someone had a good point so I'm gonna make a snarky not-response and ignore it."

I feel like people forget incest victims exist in real life and you may not want to make your incest fan content extremely public with zero filter. A lot of people treat incest as a joke but it's actually so fucked up because family is who you're told to trust so the level of betrayal and disgust is unimaginable. I hope I made someone feel guilty with this post 👍

Gonna apologize in advance my brain is fried from work so if this is semi-incomprehensible myyyyy b.

Ty for your reasonable takes. As someone whose degree is in literature, the logic i see around modern antis is…repulsive honestly. I *had* to read stuff like lolita which i mean…most misunderstood piece of literature out there tbh. Personally, i don’t like incest ships or minor ships but yknow i act like a reasonable human and don’t seek them out. Keep on keepin on my dude

Modern antis are just mini-cultists and wanna-be revolutionists who think they're taking action by dogpiling people over fictional content instead of actually having the courage to take action in real life.

The amount of antis who can't have an actual discussion about something proves just how many are only around to virtue signal and find an outlet for all the hate within them. I always know when I've made a reasonable point because they suddenly stop replying or start resorting to name calling, threats and snarky little non-responses.

I'm gonna keep doing this, don't worry.

Also amen on the work thing, eat something carby, drink some water and get some good rest!

That discord server post made me remember the stark difference between Serverstuck (a minor populated server) and Degrees of Lewdity (strict adult-only server)

Serverstuck has the worst mods and owner I've seen because they're all Antis and abuse the rules by excusing anyone who are close to them & punishing others who are strangers, lying to people on why some got banned, and allowed sensitive political topic go unregulated

Degrees of Lewdity, despite filled with people who has crude & cursed-level sense of humor, has strict mods & owner, write the correct information on why some people are banned or muted (they even allow users to request to be ban from the server for mental health reasons), and immediately shut down any conversation of sensitive political topics that cause infighting between members

I feel safer in a server for an adult game development than a "minor friendly" homestuck rp server

While I do welcome servers that have a mixed age range, I don't think I've ever or will ever join a server moderated or owned by someone who is either/both an anti or a minor.

To run or moderate a server you need to be impartial, objective, socially aware, able to appropriately manage conflict and relatively socially seasoned. I've personally found most minors often lack or are incapable of most if not all of these qualities.

(And that's not me hating on minors or calling them ignorant. Some of those qualities are just things you learn or develop with age and time. Some adults never learn them at all, even, but they are qualities you need if you're going to, essentially, be in charge of other people.)

Sephiroth's Server Safety Tips

Always do a thorough check into who is advertising the server, who owns the server, and other members before joining a server where possible.

Once you've joined the server, immediately use the search function to look for key words related to topics you want to avoid, possible past conflict, bullying, ect.

Immediately check the server rules. Its a red flag in itself if the server doesn't have any. Also, 'just be nice' is not a rule. Servers should have clear, clean cut rules and regulations.

Don't be afraid to message server owners, moderators or users privately and ask questions. They shouldn't get offended and if they can't or won't answer questions about basic rules, server safety protocols, ect, you should reconsider joining.

Don't be afraid to ask around other people to see if the server is known or has a reputation, either. If a server is based on a specific fandom, for example, search through that fandom for any past mentions of the server or ask other fans if they've heard of it.

Oh look. I turned off anon and suddenly the 25 hate mail notifications stopped coming. By golly, I wonder what happened there! Surely it couldn't be because you won't actually tell me to kill myself without the protective shield of anonymity? Surely not. Your internet must've gone down, that's all.

the answer to the possible issue of glorification and "romanticization" of taboo topics in fiction is not to censor and harass.

It's to advocate for the targeted demographics to have access to proper resources and education regarding those topics.

My therapist just told me my problem is that I need to write more fanfiction.
