Consent Is Fucking Important - Tumblr Posts

6 months ago

And remember that consent can be withdrawn at ANY TIME!!!

Started but not feeling it anymore? You can say no.

They want to do something you don’t want to do/aren’t comfortable with? Say no.

Wanted to try something new but no longer want to see it all the way through? SAY NO!

Consent is fucking important. Using your voice and advocating for yourself and your boundaries is fucking important.

Anyone who makes you feel or says otherwise is not worth your time and energy.

You do not owe your partner(s) sex. I mostly see this passed around in the asexual community, and it absolutely needs emphasis there, but this applies to anyone of any orientation. You never owe your partner(s) sex under any circumstance.

If your sex drive or libido is lower than your partner’s, you may feel obligated to “keep up” with them to make them happy. But you have a right to say no, or not be in the mood, or be too tired, or just not want to right now. Your partner(s) should respect your right to say no and your bodily autonomy.

If your partner(s) try to harass, manipulate, or coerce you into having sex when you say no, they’re an asshole. Having said yes in the past does not mean you can never say no. It is not your responsibility or obligation to provide sex. You do not need to violate your own boundaries to make someone else happy. Your partner(s) should respect your right to say no, and if they don’t, they don’t deserve you.

Your body belongs to you, and you decide what’s best for your sexual health. Happy Pride

Hot Take on Fanfiction Today!

I myself love fanfiction! I fact, I mostly prefer them over canon works, and consume those daily. I have my OTP's, a favourite writer and a list of fandoms I regulairly visit.

One thing I always make sure if is that the characters i ship are fictional, for example; anime / book characters or the protagonist of a movie series.

Real life people are Actors, Musicians, Celebrities. I will never, ever read work about those.

Those are real life people. Unlike fictional characters, they have real emotions and can give / withdraw consent. Consent which we don't have when we post our works publicly.

I honestly don't care if they ever said something along the lines of 'I don't mind fanfics' or 'I favour those'. That is not real consent for posting a hardcore p*rn fic with their names on it for thousands of strangers to see.

And im so fucking sick of seeing works like those spread out all across the internet.

It may not 'hurt anyone', but it's a direct breach and attack on their privacy and human dignity.

I don't care about soft fluffy cuddel fics with self insert charas. Those are questionable, but acceptable. But Real People Fanfics? If you want to write those, just share them with your friends, and don't post them for all the world too see.

You're just dehumanizing the celebrity you claim to care for, and using them (or the idea of them) for nonconsensual p*rn.

Don't normalise that shit please. It's not ok.

(If there is a point I did not see, or a really good counter argument, please write me. Otherwise, stfu)
