I Saw Goatse When I Was Around Twelve And I Think I Turned Out Fine (much To My Acquaintances' Shock).

I saw goatse when I was around twelve and I think I turned out fine (much to my acquaintances' shock).

Your mileage may vary, though. I would not recommend seeking it out.

If I had someone to calmly explain to me, what the deal was, I think I would have been even better.

Though I wonder how many people in anti spaces are tricked into thinking that things are worse than they really are. Egg on each others sensitivity to ridiculous levels, rather than trying to help each other recognise that while it may not have been pleasant to see such things, it wasn't the end of the world.

If someone was genuinely traumatised by media I feel sorry for them, but I think a lot of it is coercion and over-reaction

ppl trying to make some of these ships all cute n domestic dont seem to understand these characters are insane. they would have sex by standing on opposite sides of the room fully clothed playing mind games

The elementary school I attended wouldn't let anyone use the water fountains because they thought (1) if we drank water, we'd always be asking for more water and (2) they were afraid we'd cut class somehow (by the water fountain). They also wouldn't open the windows on a really hot day during sixth grade graduation rehearsal (there was no air conditioning in the auditorium) and we weren't allowed to sit down to take breaks between songs.

Then one day, I passed out during rehearsal and they decided to alter their policies. My mom might've yelled at them; I don't remember.

This was in New York City in the early noughties, so you'd think they'd know better, but I guess not.

a funny thing about small/niche fandoms--especially old ones-- is that you can easily become "the [x] weirdo" by accident simply by posting 3-5 fanfics of similar theme in the fandom over the space of a few months, and none of them have left the front page of the AO3 or tumblr fandom tag.
