I have been reading a bit on the OTW elections and the whole Tiffany G thing, but most of all, I've been reading comments from people supporting Tiffany saying that she just wants to clear AO3 from all the CSAM (child sexual abuse material) content and I don't know who needs to hear this but:

If someone comes to a predominantly QUEER space (like AO3) and tells you that censorship is necessary to eradicate CSAM... it's not actually CSAM they want to eradicate...

I've seen this type of discourse about Pride and about queer literature and queer movies and queer communities. It's a tried and true technique of the right and conservative movements.

First, they say there is a DANGER to the community through CSAM and they conflate the actual threat of CSAM in the community (we all know someone who thinks that writing a love story between two characters who are 16 is CSAM...), and make you believe that censorship is the only way to PROTECT THE CHILDREN. And since most people are (rightly) mind-bogled at having to explain that of course they don't support CSAM content, they bow down and accept the censorship for the greater good, without anyone actually trying to have a conversation about what qualifies as CSAM (which needs to, you know, actually involve real children and not fictional characters who are 17 and losing their virginity with their crush in a Mature-rated story about high school football and first love based on the author's own experience of losing their virginity at 17 to their crush in high school).

Then, they tell you that there are other forms of DISTURBING CONTENT, and what they really mean is porn that THEY find disturbing, for ex, (and I kid you not, I have seen comments like that) porn featuring disabled characters, which they consider to encourage the exploitation of vulnerable individuals, or BDSM porn (which supposedly encourages violence and lack of consent), or rough porn, or any kind of porn that isn't two (preferably white and skinny) able-bodied people doing it missionary style while lovingly gazing in each other's eyes. SO TO PROTECT VIEWERS, that needs to be banned as well.

And then, they tell you that even that sanitized version of porn is still porn and that people under 18 or under 21 or under whatever age they consider too young to view anything sexual regardless of the fact that not all countries have the same law about the age of maturity, should be free to surf the site without having to *gasp* filter out properly tagged works. So TO PROTECT THE CHILDREN, every explicit content is censored.

And then finally, when all that is left is a sanitized, white-washed, ableist, puritan type of content featuring General-Audience approved gay works of two nice men or two nice women holding hands and chastely kissing each other on the lips... Well guess what? :) CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO QUEER CONTENT SO WE NEED TO BAN THAT AS WELL, and since we've basically done purge after purge before and there are still a handful of people on the website, well surely they won't mind/care anymore, will they?

It's not just a slippery slope, it's something that has been done time and again, and that is why censorship on AO3 will never, never have a positive outcome.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Hii, can you explain is term "child porn" is not valid and why?

To refer to real life stuff, it's obviously valid. When your calling fictional art CP though it's disgusting.

New people seeing this, hey! I'm a snuff film survivor and use pro shipping to cope. So please listen to me as someone who has been in many of these CP films that calling fictional art CP is just wrong.

The reason is because CP isn't a fictional issue. It's an issue that ruined my life and many other people's. So while you can hate art that shows kids sexually, don't call it CP. Because We're not fictional characters. We're real people with real lives who have to live with the fact that there's recordings of us at our most vulnerable floating around online. A fictional character can't experience that.

Again. Hating it is totally valid. But call it what it is- lolisho. Not snuff and not CP. Thanks.

please please please please PLEASE I am BEGGING people:

stop using terms meant for abusive material of actual children when you referring to content of fictional characters. You are implying that fictional characters are as much victims as the actual children who are abused when CSEM is made of them.

You are not helping victims as much as you might think you are by doing this. Knock it off.

Addition to the stuff about kandiqueer

/PT Addiction to the stuff about kandiqueer /end PT

i thought this needed its own post as people who rebloged it already were less likely to see the new shit, i recommend seeing the first post before reading/rbing this

on the first post(link) i talked about how those who call themselves kandiqueer belive that children and animals can consent, always pro/complex contact and never anti-contact for all paras, aswell as alot of other disgusting stuff

well now, on that coining post it said it also supported "MSM/MMP" and ive been looking for what that means for a while, but thanks to someone helping on that carrd, we found it and its just as bad.

cw: cp/csa/csem

plain text in image alt text

the term kandiqueer supports cp. yeah. on top of them thinking minors and animals can consent..

the emoji code associated with this term is 🫧🌈, 🪱🌈, or 🖍🌈

if you see the term kandiqueer or these acronyms on a radqs blog or in similar context, or you see the emoji code in the right context (not like just someone using emojis), please report them and warn your peers. these people are dangerous.

just goes to show how dangerous radqs can really get

TW // CHILD PEDOPHILIA

Please beware of this artist (@merr-murr) and their alt account on X (@/Merrmurrsquared, but I don't know if he has one active on here. I don't know how long they've been supported in the Helluva Boss / Hazbin Hotel community, but their art may draw you in, and I'd like to warn you.

DNI with this person (unless you support child predators)!! He's openly posted and censored an NSFW fanart of Octavia (17) and Charlie (18+) in chibi form lifting their clothing, revealing their genitalia. The post has since been reported by multiple active engagers within the community and been taken down due to violation of X's rules.

He did not express remorse for the harm he's done and attempted to excuse his actions with, "You can't exploit fictional characters," then mockingly equating the concept to harmlessly drawing a character such as Santa Claus. In fact, he claims, "equating fictional content drawn about goat and owl demons to real children (keep in mind Octavia is factually 17 years of age) being abused is definitely worse than whatever I could possibly draw."

It is well known that minors are incapable of properly consenting, especially to anyone of an adult age, and that pornoghraphy of them is generally illegal material. It is well known among the community she's underage, and the artist knows it. We do not condone this type of behavior, nor is it tolerable in any way, shape, or form. I hope Merr realizes what he's doing is very wrong and that he deserves to receive the proper treatment needed to unravel and resolve this. I don't think I need to say any more.

So... apparently that infamous meme criticising shows made by mixed latino north americans(???) not only whitewashed the Chad Real Mexican™ creator they were trying to praise(????), who is a mixed latino, but it was done porpusefully because they were a infamous hispanic community lolcow neo-nazi who's friends with a dude with CP????????

And the extra funny part is that while the neo-nazi whitewashed and lowkey body shamed Jorge R. Gutierrez, creator of El Tigre and Book of Life and character designer in Mucha Lucha, series in which all of the main characters are very obviously mixed race/brown skinned, in some bizarre attempt of a made up strawnman...

in one of his new series on netflix titled Maya and the Three, which you should check out because is actually great and super well made like everything else this dude directs, ironically enough

THE MAIN VILLAINS EVIL ARMY IS LITERALLY, AS IN, ACTUALLY LITERALLY A BUNCH OF DEAD CONQUISTADORES, THE EUROPEAN COLONIZERS.

The entirety of this dudes work and art is constantly criticising gringos, european colonization of the Latin America and celebrating brown folks in Latin America why the fuck is this neo-nazi using him as inspiration or to put down artists?!?

yeah so the ao3 mod who just got fired for being anti-zionist is currently defending ao3's racism on twitter and apparently people found their ao3 account and it's got underage porn of real people.

Kaiju Week in Review (February 19-25, 2023)

Those of you who've been around here for a while may recall the Kickstarter campaign for a documentary called Kaiju Gaiden, which aimed to interview directors of underseen independent kaiju films. I stress the campaign because despite clearing its $25,000 funding goal, the documentary was never completed. Director David Hall apparently took the money and ran, and while producer Mark Jaramillo vowed to finish the film, his last update was in 2018. Jaramillo also stopped posting on his personal Facebook page the same year. Myself and pretty much everyone else who gave the project a backwards glance figured he had simply given up and withdrawn from fandom to avoid further embarrassment. Or perhaps something had happened in his personal life that was more pressing than chronicling the adventures of a wolfman and some funny lizards. Kaiju Gaiden entered the (alarmingly voluminous) annals of kaiju vaporware, alongside the likes of Godzilla Zero Hour and Colossal Kaiju Combat.

Well, something did happen in his personal life. Fucking hell, did it happen. As Jules L. Carrozza revealed last Saturday, Jaramillo was in prison until recently for distributing child pornography online. I've been in touch with someone who's looked into this horrid story beyond what's available through Google (i.e. PACER), and they've confirmed that this is no case of mistaken identity. They also shared excerpts from the sentencing report. I will spare you the vile details. Suffice to say the man is a monster of the kind I wish only existed in the movies. He had started posted on Facebook again in October like nothing had happened, and I'm extremely grateful Carrozza came forward before he could stage some triumphant return at G-Fest or another con.

I aim to have Wikizilla's Kaiju Gaiden page updated by early next week; I feel bad for taking so long, but I want our citations to be unquestionable and can't search PACER myself until Monday. I also regret not including all this in the last week in review, since it did fall under its scope, if only just. Truth be told, I didn't know how the hell to present it alongside more routine kaiju news, Godziban especially.

I also wanted to give good old @kaijusaurus time to complete his Edward Snowden act. Back at G-Fest XXIII in 2016, Jaramillo transferred to him a bunch of indie tokusatsu obscurities and asked him to keep them to himself. Well, suffice to say that promise is off, and he's deposited the lot on archive.org and (when possible) YouTube. Give them a watch and let their lo-fi simplicity remind you why you fell in love with this stuff.

I'm glad they can be out in the world. Kaiju Gaiden ultimately made many of them less visible than they could have been until now. If you couldn't make it to G-Fest, you were shit out of luck. For those of us who could, those memories are thoroughly tainted. Mark Jaramillo didn't make any of them, and they don't deserve to be associated with him. His most enduring contribution to the kaiju genre will be playing a CIA agent in the excruciating God Raiga vs. King Ohga: War of the Monsters... alongside David Hall. Good fucking riddance.

ACTUAL TW. because it's borderline child porn, edited or not. this is about Noah. you can and should go report the tiktok for what it is. minor nudity.

leave him the fuck alone. i'm nauseous. i hope you all choke. that's a 16 years old boy. BOY. from a tiktok using Noah’s “leaked” picture, with the sound “is your family accepting of your LGBTQ+ lifestyle ?”, here are screenshots of the comments. i am posting this because i can’t wrap my fucking head around the lack of outrage.

username on tiktok is wh0tever1cho_oze. this tiktok has 10K views. it's not funny, it's not harmless. it’s cruel, it’s vile, it’s evil. it’s PEDOPHILIA. who gives a single flying shit if it’s edited or not, nothing about this is okay. absolutely nothing. people should not find this shit funny.

i dont care if y'all dogpile the bitch. it's deserved.

ey uh, its important

while i dont use twitter anymore, yall should read this.

and stay far away from the dickbrain as far as possible (not wishy)

Friendly reminder to fellow victims that purity culture isn't your friend.

Seeing people use the same dogma that crawls into my brain and makes me feel like shit for how someone else abused me only to justify their shitty opinions using victims like me is the most enraging thing ever.

Comparing fictional characters and drawings to ACTUAL CP is offensive. If you need me to tell you that, you're an idiot.

And to any fellow victims who might see this; purity culture isn't your friend. It's your enemy. If purity culture had its way, you would have been forced to marry your abuser.

is 20 and unironically thinks drawing a fictional character from a shitty show makes them a predator. I can't wait until you get a real taste of life, maybe meet a person who has been abused by a real fucking predator and has ptsd, and realise that watering down the meaning of child predator and pedo to include fictional characters does nothing but hurt real people.

It enrages me that people like you can compare real abuse and real grooming to shitty art. How can you act like the man that traumatised me and my family is even remotely comparable to some smut artist? Fuck you and grow up.

If you brush this off as just something from a "proshitter" you missed the point

1. You're justifying child SA depiction, which is wrong, whether you like it or not.

2. I'm a victim, as well as many ppl I interact with. Oh, and they don't approve of such shit.

3. In MY experience, CP enrages most people in general, much less victims who see other victims of abuse attempting to normalize something that is quite literally generally illegal material through fiction as well as something involving characters who legally can't consent to an adult (and I don't wanna hear the age of consent is lower in _____ as an "excuse").

4. If it isn't any worse than that, you're insulting MY age whilst throwing a fucking temper tantrum. Grow up, you predator apologist. If you ACTUALLY gave a damn about "hurting real people," you'd know that the sexualization of minors, fictional or not, is fucking WRONG, and that FICTION AFFECTS REALITY. I will NOT tolerate this behavior.

5. It isn't my fault people canceled you so hard that I was your last straw. Womp womp.

6. Since you wanna talk shit and hide behind an anonymous ask,, the next time, you can expose yourself, considering you enjoy harassing people who aren't okay with depictions of CP. 🫶🏼

maybe you can help

its the first time ive been in fandom for a little over 6 years

i plan on rereading and getting caught up on everything

but what is proship

i remember as long as real ppl werent getting hurt i didnt care

if i didnt like it i scrolled or blocked

that was the thing to do i thought

a proship entails you condone shipping incest, minor and an adult relationships, and anything labeled as taboo

its with the concept of problematic and taboo subjects should not be censored, and many people use the excuse that its to "cope"

however, this is very harmful towards children, victims of trauma surrounding the subject, and things such as that

a majority of proshipping also contains a lot of cp and will sexualize minors

even though its fictional these things do in fact affect people in real life, and sadly through some parts in the communities proshippers have they tend to give each other tips on how to groom minors, or will in fact spread cp

a majority of proshippers will attack and send death threats to "antis" that simply think its wrong to openly make content of this material, and they use symbols and secret code words at times to "seek each other out"
