(smoking a cigarette) people think media literacy is letting them read whatever and letting them write Dark Fiction, but it's literally not, and they're just as bad as the "puritans" ( -_-) they're against because they're being just as brainless. No one is analyzing, no one is questioning the author's intent, no one is asking themselves what the author means when they portray this and that, and duh, showing something is not always endorsement, but Birth of a Nation revitalized the KKK, so what now? What now, when we realize that these Critical Thinkers are just as foolish and guilty of illiteracy as the equally foolish Never Show Anything Bad Ever? The opposite of the Hayes Code isn't Make Anything, it's Make it Count and Have a Damn Purpose. Dilletantes, I swear!

While I am glad people are beginning to acknowledge what intrusive thoughts really are I never see anyone discussing how it isn't JUST intrusive thoughts you can get, either. You can also get intrusive feelings and physical sensations that can range from making you mildly uncomfortable or worried to absolutely terrified about what this may mean for you. You can get unwanted urges that come suddenly and make you so fucking scared that you don't really know yourself like you think you do, or that you're going to lose control, or whatever else your fucked up brain can come up with. You can get unwanted physical arousal from something you're not attracted to. Like. groinal responses and arousal non-concordance have got to be the two worst fucking things to experience if your OCD focuses on sexual themes, i'm not even joking. And I wish more people in online spaces acknowledged that unwanted/intrusive physical responses are also a thing that can happen, and is just as terrifying as getting an unwanted image or thought in your head, and also means just as little about a person's actual desires or feelings as a thought does.

i agree there's no slippery slope between kinks and actual csa, but isn't there an argument to be made that people who are actually dangerous to children do exist in progressive/LGBT/etc online spaces ('radqueer', et al.) and do participate in anti-kink conversations using those sentiments as dogwhistles? the internet and grooming is a new avenue for adults to prey on children, so while the social mores of institutions like the catholic church doesn't include 'normalizing' pedophilia through anti-kink rhetoric, for more left-wing people online those ideas/spaces can be signaled by being laundered through progressive anti-kink (and youth liberation/family abolition) arguments. i feel like the toonimal situation shows that child abuse can still be facilitated over the internet, even though there isn't a traditional hierarchical institution enabling it.
yeah sure. obviously it would be silly to say that no LGBT person or youth liberationist or kinkster has ever been a sexual predator, which is why i've never said that. but i mean i think you are getting at a core element here which is that sexual predators can actually exist in any social space and use any ideology's buzzwords or rhetoric to justify their behaviour. & it is the idea that thinking that consenting adults should be allowed to do whatever they want in private spaces is somehow uniquely susceptible to or likely to be held or reiterated by predators that i am viscerally opposed to.

"people can use pro-kink language to groom children" yeah thats true. they can also use minecraft to groom children & yet it would still be bad to accuse random people posting about minecraft of being pedophiles innit

one good thing about toonimal finally getting exposed on a wider scale is that im seeing a lot of people who previously believed in "pro para" ideology are starting to think more critically about what they were supporting
ive seen people who used to be "pro para" posting in the toonimal tags here and on twitter talking about how they saw people they knew in the doc, people who on these sites claimed to be "anti contact/in recovery", but revealed they were lying about it on the pediverse. ive seen people start to understand that theyve been lied to and manipulated into believing that what they were fighting for was right. that "pro para" means helping people with paraphilias get help and therapy, that it means rehabilitation, and then get crushed when they start to put the pieces together that it was never that simple.
if this applies to you... pro para is not about rehabilitation. you will not see someone who is genuinely in recovery making "pride" posts about their attraction to children or animals. if they genuinely didnt want to hurt anyone, and they want to recover, they would not be proud of anything except the steps theyve made towards recovery. "pro para" is not about harmless things like v.ore, objectum, or self shipping. its about abusers fostering a community for themselves. you are not "a paraphiliac" for being in a relationship with your computer.
if youre someone who is genuinely trying to recover from a harmful paraphilia, please get out of these circles. you will only be dragged down further. seek therapy and stay off of social platforms, where you will only be triggered.

yeah no actually like. For my own good I think I'm going to take a very long break from social media. Hopefully for a couple months maybe if I don't come crawling back before then. I've been very aware for a long time that being here has been fucking me up and I think I need to unplug. Until then If anybody wants to keep in touch my discord is finalhaunts
