i know she's talkin about a specific fandom but this attitude is in ALL fandoms. Ya'll need to stop treating fictional like its your very being.
also human beings also age and have time flow. Fictional characters' time is halted unless someone writes/draws them at an younger or older age, so ya'll can also fuck off with the purity shit too.
Tags were around when i was a kid too, and guess what I stayed away from shit that squicked me out or i just had a general distaste for. Leave people who like to make shit you dont like be!!!
The only people who act on immoral stuff in the real world already had a problem before hand and should've been helped. Most older fans that like 'problematic' stuff want to keep kids away from it!!

hell that word has no meaning any more.
I say this as someone who extremely projects on to characters that are most like me to my core. I just shrug off others' headcanons because they not mine, but they dont need to affect me.
I also love kids! I love to see how they view the current world around them (im also sorry its in such shabby shape), I love to see them grow into their own people. But shit man, the internet is such a ruthless place now that everyone keeps trying to gate their mentors away.
I'm 30 now, and I'm sick of being trapped in a cage by younger kids who think they know everything about every kind of relationship. Spoilers: No one does!!!
It never ever used to be this bad. People understood what fiction means...
Creation of fictional goods is a means to explore emotions and feelings one can't act on in the real world. LOTS of people use this for therapy cause most of the time all you need is to let it out somewhere that doesnt hurt people.

if you dont click it, it doesnt hurt you.
So really, what happened to fiction being... fiction. Why must everyone bully each other. Why is the internet such a pit of vitriol and hate and echo chambers. Probably cause where are you supposed to outlet when literally everything is problematic.
I always see things like 'well if characters just talked to each other this whole story wouldve been solved'

hahahahahah im sorry, that doesnt happen in real life a LOT. hell sometimes even talking things out solves nothing because of personality.
Fiction needs conflict, whether it be pure or gray 'evil' or something as 'stupid' as 'why didnt they just say something'

ya'll trying to erase everything like that.... you dont want a world like that. It's boring, there's no reason to live. Humans very nature is imperfect.
How many damn stories do you need to read to learn we are imperfect because then there is reason to live.
Purity/Singularity is boring if we're all the same.
I like to think of myself as a good person, and I really hope I am but that doesnt mean I don't embrace the dark. I find it fascinating; I love horror, its sad and melancholic how a mind can just
snap
I'd never wish that on anyone though. But it's happening, cause we're imperfect
I uh dont know how to end threads when im on a tangent 😅 im just sick n tired of this current internet. I shouldnt have to hide my feelings from this internet i grew up on, and yet if i dont i'll be attacked and my being just doesnt have energy for that but it needs an outlet
