idle thought #669

‘you know, people should be allowed to have squicks!’ okay, go on, I’m listening, but that’s a weird thing to have to say. ‘I mean, some people overreact when you tell them you’re not cool with writing something’. Yeah, sure, there are entitled people everywhere. ‘People have called me an anti!’ As long as you’re not doxxing people. ‘People get really upset when you tell them you’re not willing to write pedophilic content!’ aaaand there goes the mask off moment I was waiting for watching the thread. Gee willickers, I have absolutely no reason why people would be upset by that accusation. No one, not even a fortune teller, could have seen that one coming.
You’re on the Ao3 subreddit. Just slap a ‘no underage’ on the prompt. Or specify which teenagers you’re cool with shipping with each other. Calling it pedophilic is not much better than calling it CSEM, and yeah, I sideeye some of that stuff, but I don’t interact and I most certainly do not tell people to their face you think they’ll commit pedophilic acts through writing.
