i love when antis are like “well i saw ship art as a kid and i thought adult/child relationships were okay and went for people older than me” because you are telling on: your guardians for 100% failing to protect and teach you and: yourself for being an idiot. it wasnt the art.
like?? my parents made sure i knew there were predators and i needed to pay attention and taught me to make the right calls!! by the time i was 7, i knew adults and children don’t belong together like that no matter what sonic, pjo or maximum ride fics/art i was looking at
i was “touched” around the same age and i told my mom the second i got a moment alone with her and she handled the situation. im sorry but if you made it past that age without knowing these things, your guardians failed you. fan creators are not to blame for you getting hurt.
sorry for saying theyre stupid for it but im assuming they dont mean they were under ten going for older people and by that time you are old enough to distinguish between niche media and more normalized, public media and draw your conclusions. you ought to know by then its not ok
I’d also like to add that the girl who touched me used Bratz dolls to get me alone with her and to try to introduce me to sex acts because she knew I loved the Bratz movies. Do I want Bratz to be banned? No, because it was her actions, not the dolls, that hurt me. She would’ve +
found a way to get me alone to play with me with or without the dolls. Predators are responsible for their own actions, and this whole argument gives them scapegoats. Nobody and nothing causes a predator to act on sadistic desires but their own lack of self control and empathy.
