i& #39;ll clear something up again, since i haven& #39;t said it in a hot second:
i am a grown adult. i work a very busy, VERY demanding job. i barely have time for social media. i have NO TIME for people who believe in censorship of any kind, even for the things you think are "gross".

i& #39;ve spent my life being told that i& #39;m going to hell for reading the wrong books, starting with my conservative family physically trying to rip Twilight from my hands before it was a national phenomenon because it had "the apple of sin" on the cover. oh, and for being queer.
i wasn& #39;t allowed to read Junie B Jones. I couldn& #39;t watch a LOT of television shows. in theory, i should be the perfect cishet Catholic, right?
wrong. I& #39;m no less queer. I& #39;m no less interested in dark and "problematic" media. and i got to explore those things through fandom.

you can& #39;t stomp out media you don& #39;t like. it will always exist. because people like me will always be around to create it. you can strikethrough/boldthrough, but my works will survive even an AO3 crash. you can burn my books, but my brain is still mine.
it& #39;s the human condition to explore weird things in fiction, where it& #39;s safe and harmless to do so. i tag all my works extensively, even though i don& #39;t have to, to make it even safer for those who wish to avoid certain topics.
for those of you who enjoy my works but can& #39;t understand how i sympathize with anti-censorship... did you even read my works? every single thing i& #39;ve written has something forbidden, starting and ending with LGBT characters and relationships. all of that is subject to censorship.
do y& #39;all realize that people still get arrested and killed all over the globe every day for being LGBTQIA? this purity bullshit is such a fucking first world problem that it& #39;s baffling. do you know how lucky you are to have freedom of speech? and you want to piss it away?
anyway, i am pro-ship,

i am not here to fight with you, because there& #39;s literally nothing you can say to change my mind.
if i see you express anti sentiments or sympathize/interact with fanpol, i block on sight.

i probably could have phrased this tweet a bit better, because it comes across like "twilight is evil and queer" which would have made twilight so much more interesting tbh. instead i& #39;m going to hell for reading twilight AND being queer. https://twitter.com/maydaymaydei/status/1311838211048644608?s=20">https://twitter.com/maydaymay...
i will also note that i& #39;ve forcibly re-educated my family in the matters of queerness and associated hellgoing. they& #39;re much more educated now, though it took MANY YEARS of hard conversations, hard work, and complete willingness to cut them out to have those conversations.
