If You're On TikTok Or Instagram And You Come Across A Video Of Someone Standing In A Grocery Store Waving

If you're on TikTok or Instagram and you come across a video of someone standing in a grocery store waving packages around and dramatically telling you how its super bad evil gross fake food, just keep scrolling. Please. I promise you. Just scroll past it.

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.

Don't think I don't notice every single one of you Wattpad bitches stealing fanfic to "share it" or "collect it" by re-uploading it to Wattpad never even bother to alert the original creator of what you've done or ask permission.

Its almost like you know its wrong and you shouldn't do it and they'll tell you not to.

I have the simultaneous belief that Taylor Swift does not deserve both the sheer level of defended fame she has and the sheer volume of disgusting hate she gets.

"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.

Also. Antis love to say "you're retraumatizing yourself". A) I'm not. And B) so what if I was? Even if I was using fiction as a way to self harm, it still wouldn't be any of their fucking business because it doesn't affect them or anyone else at all

"You're traumatizing yourself!" as if people don't watch scary movies all the time. As if the news isn't consistently full of rape and mass murder and the extensive horrors of humanity. As if you're genuinely hard pressed to find media these days which doesn't in some form blindside you with drugs, sexual assault, casual violence, stalking and an entire pick'n'mix of other traumatizing subjects.

They also need to stop equating temporary emotional distress to deep-rooted trauma. They are not the same thing.
