They go as far as to hate and wish harm in the people who ship it. They actively harass shippers for shipping it and then complain about the ship being triggering.
They treat actual people with feelings and shit like absolute crap because of a ship.
“Don’t ship abuse” they say as they actively seek people to abuse…
New anti slogan: “Don’t ship abuse, just abuse!”
Why bother reading about people idealizing abuse when you can abuse right here, right now instead!
Hey guys, just a warning because I feel like this bot is targeting LGBT tagged items. If you get a message like this one, you won’t be able to view the post if you click because it will send you to an endless log in screen or tell you you need to follow the person to see their stuff. It’s a dummy account.
The message is designed to be upsetting so you will want to click it and see the contents.
I was upset enough to click but luckily I was in the app so i knew it didn’t make sense to ask me to log in again. I then looked CLOSELY at the log in page and realized the url is fake. This is a phishing attempt and I don’t want any other lgbt people to be taken in by it. Be careful out there.
(People are saying that if you do indeed click and give your password, your account may be used to spread the virus, so be cautious of that as well)
Some fiction explores the baser aspects of the human psyche and openly acknowledges the appeal of ignobility. “Evil” is traditionally depicted as seductive. If there is truly nothing attractive about it, then there is nothing about it that needs resisting. Fiction can serve as a hypothetical temptation – a dark mirror, a litmus test – that the audience confronts internally. Maybe they reject it. Maybe they don’t. Maybe that rejection is difficult because it sparks conflicting feelings.
Whatever the case, I don’t think all media exists (or necessarily should exist) in a binary of “explicitly condemning” or “explicitly condoning” ideas – instead, it leaves that job to the reader and silently hopes that they will make the right call. Sometimes they don’t – we all know these people. We often avoid them, believing (perhaps justifiably) that falling to fictional temptation is a red flag for an inability to recognize evil or resist its appeal in real life.
Kids’ stories are usually explicit in their morals because they serve as training wheels for creating good people. You don’t often get truly complicated ethical dilemmas or shades of gray in these stories because most of the target audience isn’t equipped with the experiences to wrestle with them fairly – and when you do, there’s some moral outrage on the part of adults who don’t think kids can be trusted to accurately discern between Good and Bad. I think it comes down to a case-by-case basis; some children are ready for particular tests that certain adults never will be.
In conclusion, I don’t think that it is always the responsibility of every piece of media to deliver unchallenging lessons. This is especially true for adults, who are making real-life ethical decisions on a regular basis in a world where the choices are frequently limited to “probably bad” and “possibly less bad”.
When you love your bf so much all you wanna do is keep him wrapped up in your arms all day (even tho he probably has homework and internship stuff he’s supposed to be doing)
if i were more organized i’d spend some time dissecting some toxic nuggets from tumblr’s cultural concensus, to leave as a parting gift as i show myself out.
stuff like:
being turned on by people having sex when they are different from you means you are fetishizing their demographic
depicting a thing without obvious and intrusive disclaimers means you are romanticizing it
any sort of awareness that humans may have sexual feelings before the legal age of consent in their locality means you are a pedophile
everything girls do is embarrassing
everything boys do is rapey
everything whites do is entitled
everything nonwhites do is fragile and precious
everywhere is also america
social justice was invented in 2005
adults being on the internet is a crime
all cultural exchange is appropriation
and finally, to sum up the entire mindset for the win:
the only problem with the religious right is that they use jesus buzzwords instead of woke buzzwords.
