Teaching children thinking bad thoughts about someone is the same thing as murdering that person is fucked up.
Thought crime doesn’t exist. No one has ever been harmed or killed by someone thinking negative thoughts about them.
You know what has harmed people though? Teaching them they are evil for things they can’t control. Especially those who have intrusive thoughts.
Here’s for everyone who has been taught their thoughts make them evil.
Intrusive thoughts are not your secret desires.
They are involuntary.
You don’t need to be ashamed of them.
They will pass.
You are not committing taboo.
No one can read your mind.
No one will ever know what’s in your thoughts unless you feel like telling them.
No one can judge you for what you are thinking, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.
Your thoughts are private
You are not a bad person.

You know how a pretty obvious majority of kinksters are submissives? You want to know a big part of the reason why it's hard to find a dom that's into the same hard kink you are?
Ask a hardcore masochist what they think of being whipped.
Then ask a hard sadist what they think of whipping someone.
Do you notice that the sadist/dom will often either dance around an answer or try to use soothing language/euphemism not unlike the way how in many places people are still expected to discuss sex if at all. Gentle, calculated language.
The issue is, especially with a new surge of purity culture overtaking so-called "leftist" online circles, is that fantasy becomes a moral judgement.
Sub with a noncon kink: "I want to be raped" (cnc but like. People can talk ab it how they want don't cancel me fr.)
Response from Normies: "well that's weird and kinda dark but ok"
Dom with a noncon kink: "I want to rape"
Response from Normies: "I'm calling the police and you should kys and you're also a sexual abuser and even though you haven't said anything about kids you're also also a pedophile :)"
Not only does the attitude of murderous hatred against doms/tops with hard kinks/fetishes/paraphilias make it difficult for them to practice those kinks (safely and ethically) out of fear of social backlash if it's ever found out even if both they and their partner[s] had a great time and are fine-- but, it actively puts innocent people in danger by equating thoughts and attractions of ANY KIND to the act of hurting others against their will. It equates fantasy, which can oftentimes be played out safely if in a modified way with real harmful actions.
Also, kink is still illegal in many places, so don't "its illegal" me about harder kinks. Law is not morality, none of us are free until all of us are free, etc. You get the gist.
You want to see more doms? Meet someone who can indulge your "scary badwrong" sexy feelings? Then maybe don't actively promote a culture where you put ANY kind of attraction or kink under fire. It doesn't matter if it'd be unethical to act out in real life. Some of the most common kinks worldwide are unethical as fuck to act out irl, including rape. That's why we have cnc, come on, guys.
You know what? In fact, you SHOULD actively shun people who shame others for their sexual feelings. EVEN if you think it's gross. EVEN if it wouldn't be ethical to act on irl. Let these types know that their puritan ideals are NOT accepted here. Let them know that if they want to go to church they can do that but not in your space, not forcing other (non consenting!) people to listen to their hateful and repressive ideology.
Like, hey, I'm not into ABDL, for example. But I will defend to the death other people's right to be into that. To think and feel whatever they think and feel. You think diapers are sexy? Great! I don't personally see the appeal, but you do you boo. There is no Correct Way to be sex/kink negative. Either you believe in thought crime or you don't.
And yes, this post includes "harmful" paraphilias (I put it in quotes because they're only harmful if acted on), sadomasochism, mutilation fetishism, etc etc. Every "gross" or "evil" kink, fetish, para you can possibly imagine. The stuff that makes you horny is just stuff that makes you horny, and being horny is normal. Being "weird horny" is also normal. No one deserves to experience shame, let alone public harassment or hate over feelings they most of the time don't Choose to have. Be mindful of puritan rhetoric and strike it down when you see it.

I know there's a lot of people following this account whose kinks come from traumatic events, either when you were young or when you grew up.
I wanted to remind yall that none of us are evil for coping with our trauma in this way. We are not evil for getting turned on by certain situations. As long as everything we do doesn't hurt anyone and it's consensual we do NOT owe anyone anything. You don't have to feel guilty for it.
Doms who have a cnc kink and get off on the thought of raping someone? Not evil. Ageres who enjoy fantasizing about older people taking advantage of them? Not disgusting. Sadomasochists that enjoy causing or receiving harm? Not degenerates.
Hell, even if your kink doesn't come from trauma, unless you harm someone for real without their consent, no one has the right to judge you. Thought crime doesn't exist.

Stop fucking saying CP. 'Child porn' is not a thing. That's a harmful, outdated term that implies a child can consent. A child cannot consent. Sexually explicit material that exploits REAL children is CSEM (child sexual exploitation material) or CSAM (child sexual abuse material).
Sexually explicit FICTION is not CSEM or CSAM -- it does not exploit real people of any age to create. That's because it's fiction. Reading it also does not exploit a real person, of any age. It might affect the person that chose to read it, in an emotional/distressing way, and that may feel like harm. But it is not the same as the creator causing you harm maliciously. Dealing with coming across things that distress us is something we all have to learn when we grow up.
Reading or writing underage sexually explicit fiction doesn't make a person a pedophile or a predator. (A lot of you don't seem to actually KNOW what a pedophile is, at that. Frustrating. Words MEAN THINGS.) It's not evidence of being one, or having these desires, either. Yes, I mean even when the fiction portrays things that are horrific IRL. Yes, I mean even when something that would be horrible IRL is treated as romantic and consensual in fiction. And yes, I mean even the stuff that squicks you personally.
When you (general) throw terms like this around incorrectly, loosely, or vengefully, you actually do harm by watering down the meaning of words that describe actual, exploitative, illegal, and terrible real life actions. You do harm by making undue accusations and wasting time and resources that should've been spent elsewhere. You affect real people.
Sometimes people write from their own childhood experiences. Some people just have a fucking imagination for how a situation might play out under certain circumstances. Some people look at two characters and their history and fill in the blanks with all the twists and turns they see lurking in the shadows. Some people have a really fucked up idea they want to explore IN FICTION.
People can have their own squicks and boundaries about it, and that's fine. There's certainly fictional underage material that squicks me, even though I write and read tons of underage fiction. This is what tags, summaries, the back button, and the delete from history button are for.
Thought crime is not a thing. Quit equating it with real life.
#anti purity culture#anti using words incorrectly to the point they have no fucking meaning#sick of fucking seeing that label and the OTHER phrase slung around like a weapon or a handful of shit#as if using the term 'cp' or 'kp' doesn't make you look like a victim blamer or one of those really outdated comedians#me.txt#words mean things#thought crime#thought crime doesn't exist

"It is a horrible idea that there is somebody who owns us, who makes us, who supervises us, waking and sleeping, who knows our thoughts, who can convict us of thought crime, who can—thought crime, just for what we think, who can judge us while we sleep for things that might occur to us in our dreams, who can create us sick, as apparently we are, and then order us on pain of eternal torture to be well again.
To demand this, to wish this to be true it to wish to live as an abject slave.
It is a wonderful thing, it is a wonderful thing, in my submission, that we now have enough information, enough intelligence, and I hope, enough intellectual and moral courage to say that this ghastly proposition is founded on a lie and to celebrate that fact and I invite you to join me in doing so."

A lot of people are hesitant to acknowledge that feeling horny for women as a woman is not bad, for a large variety of reasons. I think one of the most hard aspects to think about is when it leads to the question, "What was wrong with men being attracted to women, then? If it's not the act of being attracted to a woman at all?"
A lot of older people are far beyond this question, they already get it. This was tango'd with before the 90s but like a lot of feminism which acknowledged intersectional complexities, this got lost in the glorification of #girlpower shallow feminism that blew up around 90s/00s when corporations got their hands on it to market to children in a way that further encouraged the gender divide rather than conquer it.
Simple answer: it's the consent of it all.
There is nothing inherently predatory about sexual attraction towards anybody. Getting riled up over a lady isn't a problem. It's about whether or not you actively make the lady uncomfortable and/or unsafe. Thought crime isn't real. Man or woman or both or neither or more, if you jerk off to any woman in the world, it's fine. That's not an assault and it's not a crime.
The idea that anyone can do this is upsetting to some people. If that idea upsets you, you'll only really find relief in knowing that's not an assault you're dealing with, that's an intrusive thought that you cannot really defeat by making demands of what others can and cannot think about or do privately without you. You gotta work that out in therapy. As long as you're not actively physically or mentally being involved in anything and it's just kinda a version of you in their heads that is not really you no matter how similar it may be to what you would do, that's not anything being done to you. It's an imaginary friend of theirs with an uncanny resemblance, but it isn't you. Moving on.
Two basic rules to follow so you don't cross that line into it being inappropriate:
1) If she's not your partner, don't tell her about it. It's not some dirty secret or anything. It's just that you wouldn't really be flattered if someone you don't know well, or aren't in that sort of relationship with, told you that they were getting off to you. That's mentally involving someone who hasn't given any sort of prior consent to this. And don't ask if you can, either. That's still mentally involving her. Just don't bring it up so she doesn't have to carry any responsibility for your sexual attraction when there is no relationship or indication that it's something she would want. Your sexual attraction is yours, not hers.
2) This might be obvious following the last point but Don't Do It Where She Can See You. Voyeurism and exhibitionism are fine kinks on their own within a 100% consensual setting but again: No prior relationship to indicate she would want to do that? No discussion of a scene and boundaries around that activity? Even if you're not making her fuck you, if she sees you, you have physically involved her non-consensually. That's harassment at best, assault at worse depending on the scenario. Don't fucking do that. This also counts for shit like watching her or recording her for later. That's physically involving her without consent. Don't fucking do that.
Fantasies are one thing, bringing it into the real world has consequences. Keep that line in mind.
But the attraction itself has never been the problem. Feelings are not bad. It's the actions, including speaking, which can cause the issues. And it can be really, really hard for people to uncouple the feelings and actions behind a past traumatic assault but it is the truth. The attraction was never the problem.
Men being creeps to women doesn't mean attraction to women was ever the problem. It's an invalid excuse to claim they couldn't help themselves. Feelings =/= actions. Men and women can feel attraction and harm no one in doing so. Sapphic folks, you're fine.
And PS. Having sex with a woman consensually is never a problem. Being a woman and actively wanting to have sex is never a problem. Stay safe and have fun, by yourself and with company.
#this needs to keep being said because of the 10000 rule. it will be new for somebody every time it is brought up#especially for the younger queer folks just exploring these ideas for the first time#sexuality cannot be punished for itself. ever. that just leads to a lot more distress and problems#it's the actions that count#thought crime#my text posts#ask to tag#sa mention#attraction

It's really important to me people know that thought crimes are not real.
I saw a post and I wish I had responded because as is the nature of Tumblr you stay thinking about it and can't ever find that post again.
but any ways someone was asking I assume a trans person if it was okay that they pirated Harry Potter stuff and enjoyed it alone in their home without telling others or posting about it etc
which... stop asking for absolution from strangers on the internet? like if you feel bad about it, don't do it.
but the real issue was they not only said no it wasn't okay their logic was like.... even if you read it alone in your house somehow you're supporting J. K. Rowling and making her stronger and also the books have some kind of effect on your mind?
I'm begging people, Rowling is not the Dark Lord? I get you're still a hostage to her because it's STILL somehow the only book you've read but like... reading that copy of Harry Potter your grandma got you 20 years ago will not unleash dark energies that'll feed her evil witch power in her Scottish Castle? and also they're not... what are they called? horcruxes? you reading a problematic book will not corrupt you on a metaphysical level?
you should go read something else because Harry Potter isn't very good, go pirate Lord of the Rings or Dune or something, read something worthwhile, buy a book from an author who isn't a raging asshole who will spend your money on evil (so you know not Orson Scott Card)
I say all this as someone who's never seen a Harry Potter film, I didn't even read the last book, I have no idea how it ends? does Dumbledore come back? no idea and don't care. I thought everyone being hung up on those not very good books was mad for years. But like bad books, problematic books, books by shitty terrible people (hello Roald Dahl, HP Lovecraft) are not objects of power, you reading them alone does not empower the bad person, you have to do things in public to do that, opening a book you already own and reading it has no wider effect. And while you can be effected by what you read (well not Harry Potter because again not very good) it's not radiation, it won't seep off the page into your soul.
#Harry Potter#thought crime#read another book#for the love of god#also everyone please read problematic books

okay No clue if I am phrasing this in a way people will understand but
thought crime isn't real.
EVEN if your thoughts are not intrusive but completely voluntary.
I see many people apparently thinking that any thought you have that goes in any way against your ethics is an intrusive thoughts, leading to a lot of people highly misunderstanding intrusive thoughts
if it's something you are ashamed of but you feel intrigued to indulge in, that's not an intrusive thought. if you're creating a 'vent' character or story to explore and enjoy those themes unjudged, it's most likely not intrusive thoughts
you SHOULD daydream, think and probably even create about and around those things while being completely aware it's not reality
because it helps
if you bottle up those interests and excitements and refuse to think about them because it's immoral to commit to them in real life, you're putting yourself at a lot of risk to not be able to differentiate between fucked up fantasies of yours and actually wanting to do those things in reality
[Rape, murder and cannibalism mention below cut]
I fucked up myself as a teen by not allowing myself to daydream consciously, and instead I ended up actually threatening people to rape or cannibalize them, even made up plans to kill my own family when I wasn't even 15 yet. Because I knew I had those desires. But I didn't allow myself the satisfaction of fantasy. And instead it felt like an itch I could only scratch by committing actual felonies.
Don't be like teen me.
Indulge in your disgusting freaky stuff consciously and without harming your peers.

Constantly torn between
"this opinion/question/expressible point of connection I want to pose will mark me as a 'bad person' and therefore open me to harassment"
and
"I need to be 100% open and honest about my every thought and feeling or else I am lying, and that makes me a bad person".
And online discourse culture just amplifies that by like, a million.
Obviously, in putting it so plainly, neither thought is correct.
It's not healthy to avoid all connections because I'm afraid someone will accuse me of being a bad person.
It's also not healthy to put all my thoughts and feelings on display-- I'm allowed privacy.
Disagreements with someone shouldn't shake my very foundation of belief in self.
Especially when I agree with 99/100 points about issue X, but not point #100- I shouldn't feel like I can't talk about point #100 without being accused of disagreeing with points 1 through 99 and therefore "a bad person".
Idk. It's especially hard to talk about this issue without bringing up an example issue. But to bring up an example tends to steer the conversation to talking about that issue, and that's not the point.
I don't want to talk about Hot Button Issue #3. I want to talk about how the culture behind black and white Stances is harmful to me.
But I don't have good language for that.
Callout culture and purity culture touch on it. That fear of being Found Out to be Bad about something. Even though I am not bad?
The idea that once you're Found Out to be Bad you can never recover, never grovel enough, never apologise enough, never grow and learn enough, never be free from accusations and reminders.
People having to torch their online presence and start over and pretend they never were that person that made that mistake.

Anti-intellectualism kills. If yall equate thoughts with abuse, then the only thing between you and seriously hurting someone is a particularly shitty day or a moment of rampant imagination.
#anti intellectualism#thought crime#puritan rhetoric#'your mind must be pure and free of sin'#now tell me again how you aren't an evangelical?#'oh its not the same because i go after actually bad people!'#did this supposed bad people actually DO something to anyone? do they even plan to?#you either do or don't believe in thought crime#if i can ignore the powerful urge to jump off a building you can also just Not Do bad things that so much as pop into your head

Cherry memories
Somebody like yourself, true and kind, would never understand this aching heart of mine
I'm no good at living, but I don't wanna die, and so I write songs to pass the time
I feel it everyday, the words, the hate, the sheer disgust of everybody as they look my way
It's why I only write songs that hurt other people now
And songs without a soul like the one that you're hearing now
(c)"Thought crime " by Yorushika, cover translation by Rachie
#tgcf#heaven official's blessing#tgcf fanart#mu qing#my artwork#i am obsessed#with him in particular#this songs lives in my mind rent free by now#yorushika#thought crime#rachie#tian guan ci fu

Bill Burr responding to questions on the firing of his Mandalorian co-star Gina Carano sums up a major plot point for how I became politically homeless.
"I thought it was funny that the liberals proved her point. They just use outrage because they don’t like your politics. As someone who considers himself liberal, it’s disappointing to see the left become how the right used to be when they went after the Dixie Chicks after they criticized George W. Bush.”
"There’s not a lot of people like that — most are just trying not to get in trouble — but there’s this small collection of lunatics — either on the right or the left, at any given moment — that cause hysteria,” he added. “And now there’s so many [media outlets] that want eyeballs, they make money off advertising, that they give attention to these crazy fringe people.”
“You can't take one incident or one quote and say, ‘That's who you are.’ It took me 50 years to figure out who I am and I've been with me for 50 f—ing years. How are you gonna figure out who I am in a joke?”
"And nobody says, ‘You had to go back eight years to find something?!’” the comedian explained. “‘Sounds like this is a pretty good person if you had to go back eight fucking years!’ Meanwhile, there are people who get paroled from prison every day who have done so much worse and they’re allowed to put their lives back together.”
"You can have 20-year wars, you can create synthetic heroin, you can fucking poison the food supply. You can do all of that shit nd it’s barely going to read. They did a study the other day that 85 percent of people have plastic in their body — horrifying. Who’s going to be held accountable for that? Nobody. But I could tell you five different topics that if I did jokes about, I would get more in trouble than the people who caused that.”
