“just let people do what they WAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaant”

i promise that no matter how much i talk about how fucking awful and harmful and destructive the things you want to write and draw are, i cannot actually stop you from making the world’s biggest ass of yourself.

people reacting to what you have made is a natural consequence and inescapable. you brought that shit on your self. stop trying to blame the people who are doing everything they can to avoid your stupid shit for your own pathetic failures

this literally would not be happening to you people if you could just fucking examine What You Want and realize that it’s fucking bad.

you want the freedom to be homophobic, transphobic, racist pedophiles whenever you fucking feel like it with no consequences. you want to claim that you’re of vital significance to the community you’re poisoning because people are finally realizing that they don’t HAVE to put up with your shit.

If slavery AUs and child porn are the hill you want to die on then go ahead and fucking die.
