Read on Twitter
I can't believe I was just scrolling through twitter and saw someone literally post a photo of a female sleeping next to exposed male genitalia. no sort of censor or anything. what? just-- I'm sorry? this person doesn't even have a "18+" in their bio, so you can't even defend it.
I was sadly exposed to this sort of stuff when I was a minor, and I know for a FACT that it stuck with me. It's not okay. I try to stay as drama free as possible on this account, but if that's my mindset, I ALSO want it to be a SAFE SPACE. you can't just post stuff like that,
when it's obvious there's going to be a lot of MINORS in this community due to ANIMAL CROSSING being aimed mostly towards said MINORS. ew... just, ew. honestly. I'm so shocked. you're allowed to post whatever you want on your account, but if you're gonna post nsfw, you NEED--
--to specify 18+ or an NSFW tag in your bio somewhere, because people will just follow you or follow you back, //without even knowing// this is the sort of stuff you could potentially post. you've gotta have some sort of responsibility there. it's not funny.
I'm also not trying to defend minors. I understand a lot of them are responsible of themselves, and they can decide what they want to see and if they're okay with it. but I'm standing up my younger self, who was exposed to this over seven years ago and it messed me up.
I'm obviously not going to include the original tweet here, but here are some screenshots.
two more.
people are using this as a defense so much recently. MORE THEN ONE THING CAN MATTER AT ONE POINT IN TIME. don't try and divert the subject. we all care about the blm movement but //I// also care about not having unexpected dicks on my feed.
yeah, I have seen porn. AS A CHILD. it messed me up and I don't want that happening to ANYONE ELSE, which is why I made this thread. even as a grown adult I still don't like to see it BECAUSE of what happened to me when I was younger.
this is what they said when they retweeted this thread before I blocked them. 11 year olds? ANYONE can feel uncomfortable by this content. literally anyone. and therefore, YES, you do ABSOLUTELY have a need to tag NSFW or 18+ in your bio.
unfollow and keep scrolling? okay, but how do you suggest I erase it from my brain once I've already seen it? my younger self would LOVE to know, because it would have definitely fucking helped. just censor your "shitpost" at the very least!
we use tags to BLOCK OUT THE CONTENT THAT WE DONT WANT TO SEE. by doing what you're doing, the tags are effectively useless.
I can't believe this. I genuinely can't believe this. how can you sit there and defend yourself when MULTIPLE PEOPLE have said they were exposed to this below the age of eighteen, and it messed them up? and even a good amount of people OLDER then eighteen don't like seeing this!
you're LITERALLY proving my point. you say you don't post this kind of content, that you only did this today. that makes it even WORSE that you suddenly just decided "hey! let's post a photo of a dick to my unexpecting followed who have no idea I'm okay with posting this!!"
and I can guarantee you a lot of ten year olds don't just decide to watch porn? ew. you're gross. you're actually gross. stop keeping up this "keep scrolling and unfollow me" narrative when PEOPLE CAN'T ERASE STUFF FROM THEIR MINDS THEY THEY'VE ALREADY SEEN.
I still remember exactly what I saw about eight years ago. e x a c t l y. It's burned into my brain and that's why I'm talking about this because I feel so passionately about protecting younger me. I WISH there had been someone out there who had protected younger me.
I'm going to try & stop adding to this thread now. I'm just... In shock. I'm angry, I'm upset and I'm disappointed. I'm disgusted overall. and if you want to block this person, or let anyone else know/become aware, this persons @ at the time of making this thread is @/everlongs_
please leave.
funny that you're telling me to "relax" when you're username is "fuming", huh?
but, no. come on. I don't care what you did when you were twelve. I didn't have to see that shit. but I did see something that messed me up, just like this persons post.

again. good for you. but this isn't my point. you willingly did that. I didn't. (and it wasn't a boob that I happened to see.) so, once more, please leave.
ah, I see. all the trolls with non-ac accounts have arrived. AGAIN, good for you. you willingly searched it. you made that choice to search it. I didn't have a choice.
I genuinely can't believe this. a flood of people have just decided to come and make it all even worse and I don't even know what to do. I'm shaking.
