It all starts with a Voltron ship war, because of course it does.

Here are some interesting takes on how Puritanism has harmed lgbtq+ spaces online and the internet in general.

    Thanks for sharing this article, honestly this kinda stuff been such a quickly growing problem that its hard to even tackle. I remember people involved in fandom TRYING to get folks to listen but because its fandom it was mostly more of a punchline.

    What especially sucks is how puritanism has infested leftist spaces, in which its common to hear “porn-addict” as a common perjogative.

      I’ve noticed this happen on tumblr over time. Its kinda scary and sad, especially as lgbtq have kinda indirectly been silenced by the puritan crowd. People sometimes lose their shit at any mention of sex.

        ahaha yeah it’s unfortunate that people on twitter and tumblr and tiktok just lose their minds when it comes to kink in media. really, get me out of here. Murder violence and gore in stories is perfectly healthy and people won’t immediately go and kill people but if you show a couple with an age gap its all of a sudden a moral imperative to stop any depiction immediately.

        i do feel like the joker sometimes
