idle thought #540

I think a lot of people have fallen into this pit of ‘well, if we weed out all the individuals who do bad things, then society will magically become good’ which honestly gets into Death Note territory. That doesn’t work. What happens when police misidentify a suspect, or are racist, or whatever? Who has the right to judge? What makes you so sure that your morals are the ones everyone should live by? If you put a ban on talking about “non-con”, as Livejournal did, that doesn’t “create a safe space”. That means the safe space for survivors no longer exists, that people cannot express and work through their pain because they no longer have the words for it or get attacked again the second they try.
