However I Would Not Seek It Out Willingly - Tumblr Posts

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.

https://www.tumblr.com/just-antithings/752278496116670464/now-i-never-want-to-doubt-victims-however-when?source=share I've told people I saw kinky/strange media as a kid and they acted like it was THE WORST THING EVER TO EVER HAPPEN TO SOMEONE when it reality, at that time, I was safe bodily, and either curious or disturbed mentally. 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
