but that's all it is. something i find personally triggering and gross. it can't hurt me if i don't give it the space to do so. i can just block and blacklist and mute it and look away from my screen to something else. any harm done to me by a drawing stems entirely from within myself. plus, if+
i want to fight for my rights to write and draw even the tamest of faggotry, i need to defend their rights too, lest we all get sent to prison over thought crimes. i may not like what they consume but they are people at the end of the day. and really, how different am i from someone using loli/sho+
content to cope when i do the same thing using my own kinks and fetishes in the noncon scene to cope as well, y'know? idk. i don't like loli/sho, but if it remains purely fictional or to try and redirect someone from unwillingly sexualizing real children(MUCH of it stems from intrusive thoughts),+
then i can just accept that it's different strokes for different folks, stay in my own lane, and move on. now, pro-contact pieces of shit who think that it is remotely okay to harm real children sexually? that's entirely different and it is on sight with those motherfuckers. there's a BIG fat line+
between someone suffering unwanted intrusive thoughts/urges, vs someone actually fully endorsing and glorifying those thoughts and actions and reveling in their abuse of others. tldr; like any taboo kink, it's fine as long as it stays either purely fictional, or is indulged in a safe, sane, and+
consensual manner solely between *adult human* participants.
this is a rly well spoken take, thank you for ur reply !! I completely admit being pretty ignorant of loli/sho (bc i avoid it for my comfort) so I wasnt aware of the nuances of it. tbh i think i agree w you entirely - u bring up a great point w comparing cnc (which i have no issue with). i think
that im just so sensitive to the Idea of children being harmed that i struggle to not judge them unequally yk ?? but i acknowledge that thats like a logical failure on my part. ultimately the reality is also that i have no control over (nor the right to control) whether or not ppl are going to make
art that triggers/upsets me, no matter How i feel about it. and ultimately i am always going to be an advocate for freedom of sexual expression. so I think the best way i can advocate in this situation is to just Look Away LOL. anyway - thank you again for your reply !!!
of course!! its not easy to try and dismantle those knee jerk reactions especially when it comes to triggers close to home, but at the end of the day i just boil it down to controlling my feeds and simply letting it slide off my back if no real life harm is being done. someone said it in a really+
good way, i can't remember who or exactly what but the sum of it is that there are completely people who believe in purely doing missionary only for the purpose of having kids who have done far more real life harm than many, *many* kinksters and freaks in the world ever will.
