I feel like part of what the christians were doing there was trying to enforce gender roles by falsely accusing people who break them of wrongdoing.

i would like to feel like someone at any echelon of political power has the pattern recognition to see that this is the strategy. that this is governing for child abusers by child abusers. and i would like them to give a shit about actual children above hypothetical ones. they won't.

i am almost 40 and i literally do not have any point in my life where the right wing has not been doing moral panics about imaginary child abuse while institutionally working to enable real abuse of real children. if it's not the satanic panic it's fucking pronouns.

Very interesting that they only focus on « the MEN defending their ´rape games’ ». As we all know, women have famously never made any noncon/underage/incest kink art, and there’s also definitely not a ton of women (many of them being survivors as well) that are anti-censorship 🙂.
