Never Forget

never forget

I can’t even really get into it esp with civvies in general but sex workers are performing what should be understood to be an integral if not sacred function in society so I really would like anyone who opens their mouth about porn to know more about it than what free shit is on tubesites because that’s always the bottom of the mainstream barrrel. Next is the most popular stuff on paysites which will always be skewed towards the mainstream - aka cis men, usually white, most often who identify as straight (even though their porn history puts this into question).

If you look at porn created by sex workers who have more agency and ability to determine their audience and content (aka this is something that can be hard to do bc capitalism sucks and working in such a currently toxic industry presses you to compete with the mainstream) you will see creative, positive, and even spiritual content being made.

But I never ever hear y’all talk about that shit bc your entire view of porn is related to what you see on free porn blogs vs what you discuss about it as an abstract concept related to feminism. Your entire concept of porn is ‘porn according to the desires of the average cis dude’ which like, this is fair to critique but understand that the issue there isn’t the porn it’s the cis dudes.

‘Porn’ isn’t transphobic, racist, misogynistic and homophobic…cis men are and that’s what they beat off to.

Nuance is p cool bc it helps you identify the root of a problem more accurately bye.

fandoms act like pedophiles don’t watch tv, read books, or use the internet. “fiction vs reality” all you want but predators consume content that aligns with their interests. real, actual predators ship adults with minors, possess child porn of both real kids and fictional ones, read stories that show csa in a positive light, etc.

like I can see a predator watching how y'all justify minor / adult ships and feeling validated. they don’t just enact violence outside of the internet. they are real people who consume media just like you and me. those of you who ship children with adults share a space with actual predators

it’s also wild to me that y'all don’t think a pedophile could ever be an artist or writer. I guarantee you they are content creators you enjoy on social media. you’re giving them a space to safely express their interests and you validate their inclination to hurt real children when you promote “hebephilia” as healthy. every time you say “the technical definition of pedophilia is 13 years old and younger”, some adult freak feels better about being attracted to a 14 year old. saved by the bell huh!

you’re harboring actual predators, making them feel great about themselves, giving them a platform in fandom & the ability to harass minors into silence with that platform. it isn’t just desensitizing kids, it’s also desensitizing predators

just like white people felt justified in thinking of black people as all sorts of stereotypes (monkeys, mammies, pickanninies, unintelligent, biologically predisposed to being enslaved, etc) thanks to racist cartoons, justifying pedophilia in fiction is a gateway to them excusing harmful behavior in real life and actually doing it. if that should bother you

weird and horrible how as soon as a girl turns 18 she loses any protection from being taken advantage of… 17 and a half is a child but just turned 18 is fair game for male sexual predators
