callmearcturus:

I’ve delete/blocked like five of these things in the last two days (lol is someone running a campaign) but this one is fucking so masterfully done, I almost want to applaud.

This is like some premium good shit concern trolling, right here. Oh, heavens to betsy, you might have to stop reading my fics if I excuse stuff like that? Setting up a little ultimatum, huh?

Except you’re anon, and you’re giving no context outside of the anti dogwhistles of PEDOS! AND INCEST! These terms that you and I both know inherently incite a negative reaction that not a single person alive wants to be associated with.

But you have zero qualifiers here. So, are you talking about “this person writes and posts shota/lolicon that explicitly fetishizes the massive age difference and power differential between a minor and an adult”? Or are you talking “this artist once drew explicit homestuck art and they’re popular so I want to ruin their life?”

Because guess what, I don’t trust you to be actually on the side of good here. I don’t think of anonymous greyfaces with sad concerned emojis and no identities or context in my inbox as my allies. When I think “who is going to help me with my trauma that still fucks me up today and prevent similar shit from happening to other people,” I sure as fuck don’t think of antis who are digging for dirt to ostracize fanpeople they don’t like. Who, 90% of the time, are victims themselves.

Because antis don’t care about actual people, they care about power.

So no, I’m still not going to play ball with any of these messages. You come to my blog, you come to me anonymously with no identity and no liability, and try to pressure me into this shit with your little scripts– literally every one of these messages has followed the same script! Jesus christ!

You don’t want a conversation. You want me to be shamed into silence or to capitulate. You want me to divulge my own history so you can decide whether I get to have an opinion. You’re the same fucks who start witchhunts and harrass people into the ground. You are the people poisoning the well and making people literally scared to be in fandom, and oftentimes scared to use the tool of writing/creating at to help them with their own trauma!

I refuse. Go haunt someone else’s inbox.
