“What I’m seeing from being very deep into tumblr is that the gaze has become so academic and hypercritical that everyone’s afraid to do anything. The only way to never be “problematic” is effectively to be silent.”

Part of a quote from fanlore.org. It is about fanfiction, but I think it sums up my issues with purity culture in SJ spaces in genral tbh.

Purity culture breeds silence, not freedom from oppression.

If you are under 18 on masto do not interact with adults nsfw/lewd posts

It's very uncomfortable for those adults, dangerous for them and for you.

Literally exploring a negative thing in fiction is not romanticising it

I don’t want to live in a world where we never explore anything dark or negative in fiction

‘Just smile and write happy pure positive things’

Is fucking creepy statement

Folks. Please don’t use baiting language to get people to boost something abt current events ect

‘Stop ignoring this thing’
‘if you care about people boost this’ ect

It really stresses some of us out, not seen it much here but it’s a real problem on tumblr and one of the reasons the site is so stressful for me
