I'm So Sick Of Antis And Their Arguments. "But Predators Read This!" Yes, And? I'd Rather A Thousand

I'm so sick of antis and their arguments. "But predators read this!" Yes, and? I'd rather a thousand predators read kinky fanfiction about people who don't exist, no matter their ages, than even one real, living child get hurt.

This is actually a point I do find myself having to present constantly to antis who are convinced that it is solely fanfiction and fandom spaces that enable predators.

Completely setting aside the fact that literature and creative activities are used in therapy and allocated as victimless outlets, if someone has the increased risk factor of committing a crime, they are going to do it regardless of stimuli.

Psychology will tell you that if the fixation is there, if the intent is there, action is an inevitability.

Actual child rapists have, in the past, admitted that something as simple as a back to school clothing advert has prompted them to attack a child.

If we do magically cleanse the earth of fanfiction, do you know what will happen?

Predators will still exist. Predators will still find stimuli. Predators will still have their own enclosed spaces where they'll create and share stimuli.

And because I know the more fanatical antis will read this and immediately decide and declare that I condone predators and pedophilia:

No. I do not. But I do have a realistic understanding of the way things work in life. I do not hide and pretend I live in a magical world where predators will simply cease to exist if I get rid of anything and everything I deem to sustain them.

They will not.

And circling back to the point the anon makes, yes, I would absolutely prefer that if fanfiction helps a person to find a healthy and safe outlet for their urges and desires, they read the fucking fanfiction.

Fictional characters do not exist, will never exist, and are not in any form equitable to real life people. "If you can do these things to fictional characters you could do them to real people" is quite literally the stupidest argument that absolutely any sociologist or psychologist could tear into nanoparticles in about two seconds flat.

Predators exist in every single space. They have never needed one specific community or space in order to cause harm or source victims, and they never will. Its like a hydra; if you cut off one means they will find another. There are dangerous predators in the anti community just as much as there are those in the proshipping one, but hat's also a fact that antis love to pretend doesn't exist.

Bit of a reflexive rant, hope you don't mind. I'm starting to believe that anti-shippers just, genuinely, do not understand you can enjoy or have your interest piqued by taboo in fiction, and not endorse it in real life. Does that mean everything they watch, read and listen to is stuff that they morally approve of? In which case, if they happened to enjoy: Breaking Bad, South Park, 50 Shades of Gray, Mindless Self Indulgence, etc. ("problematic" media); wouldn't it indicate, by that line of thought, that they (consumers) are "bad" people?

And if any dare respond to this with: "well, there's nuance to that!"; I will be sorely disappointed, and not at all surprised, with the hypocrisy.

I can also smell the: "but what about (paraphilia)". I do not care. My main point still stands.

The thing that trips most antis up is the involvement of sexual gratification or arousal. Its why they'll always skip things like murder and go straight into pedophilia or sexual/romantic relationships with a serious imbalance.

Its also an aspect where you'll find they are most hypocritical.

Abdallah is an under appreciated hero in Palestine doing everything he can to care for and feed the animals around him.

Despite the horrible situation the Palestinian people are in, so many of them are taking care of animals just as much as their fellow humans. If you have anything to give, please consider donating to his PayPal and help him care for these innocent beings.

If you are unable to donate then please PLEASE reblog and share. He is a very kind soul and grateful for all the support he gets

He genuinely does everything he can for them, do at least the bare minimum for him.

Hello there! I wanted to show an article that I found, but i wanted to confirm if you can like...analyze if the article is correct or wrong, so...can you do that? If you don't, it's okay

I can reasonably discuss and fact check an article alongside investigating if there's any author or sponsor bias.

Antis who proudly proclaim they're going to become a therapist so they can shut down and manipulate and unethically target all the 'nasty proshippers' make me laugh because they're going to get two months into any sort of qualifying course and be slapped in the face by the reality that therapists are obligated to remain objective and impartial and will lose their license if they're found to be using their position to be unfairly bias or negatively target clients based on their own personal beliefs and values.

"Objectivity helps counsellors avoid personal biases and allows them to focus on the client's needs without imposing their own beliefs or values." - American Counselling Association

"Therapy should feel like an inclusive and safe place for clients. Clients need to feel safe and supported in their work. And while all therapists have inherent biases and personal preferences, it is never appropriate for them to engage in discrimination, racism, sexism, or other forms of prejudice with clients." - Medcircle

You do not get into therapy to correct people. You get into therapy to help them. Therapy is not about the therapist.

"I dont support it in real life!"

Then why write about it? If for coping purposes, why post it online for others (especially actual predators) to see and consume? Then why portray those things in a positive light instead of condemning them?And you're seriously going to tell me that just because as an adult you want to see a fictional minor (that mind you, is usually designed to resemble an actual child) depicted in sexual situations doesn't mean you don't share that same view concerning children in real life? You find fictional minors attractive but not real ones? Why does the line between finding someone who is (and usually also looks like) a child sexually attractive get drawn at whether the child is real or not? I'm not calling anyone pedophiles, but if the shoe fits... And also no, I am not talking about 18 y/os finding 17 y/os attractive. Use your brain. Creating content of underaged characters is still questionable regardless of age, however.

"I'm not calling anyone pedophiles..."

Proceeds to send in a ridiculous essay calling people pedophiles for the kind of fictional content they consume, for whatever purpose.

I swear, you'll all scratched CDs. If you genuinely cannot comprehend why there is a line between fiction and reality, frankly, you should not be trying to provoke or dictate discussions on that line.

You said 'use your brain.' In a pretty assumptive argument, by the way, but I'm going to uno reverse that advice. There are already plenty of resources available both on my blog and elsewhere if you'd actually like to educate yourself and not just try to use me like a sounding board for your superiority complex.
