@bigchalupa I drew a really terribly proportioned Terezi lewd once upon a time, by that logic I'm also next on the chopping block even if no one really saw it or cared (sadge, I was proud of it all those years ago when I uploaded it lol). Hard agree, fuck the puritanical culture all the way into the sun, it's killing art and hurting primarily marginalized people. Beyond canon channel has some nsfw jokes and light hearted stuff sometimes but that's because of the nature of the work is inherently an adult piece of media so the mods let it fly because it's canon relevant (that's fine, keep that as is please lol).
Children and malicious adults that are drawn to the censorship grift are a big problem with society. This is like a university trying to fire a teacher because a student cyberstalked & found her onlyfans. I post lewds online too from time-to-time, by those people's logic I'm also a predator because uh oh what if the children™️ find it? I don't have time or energy for people's specter of the child bullshit that they use to blatantly harm others and kill art in it's entirety.
It's okay to be emotionally charged, I was when writing this post and making my initial replies. I'm so tired of us transfems getting the shit end of the stick and this made my heart sink seeing it, but it needed to be said all the same. I hope your friend is doing okay and is in a safe spot. 💜 I'm mutuals with some of her mutuals, but that's my only frame of reference personally. With enough cyberstalking my juicy AO3 stories can be found and read. Slut shamey ass culture is fucking ridiculous 100%. Thought crimes aren't real and having lewd times outside the server also aren't illegal. All of these harassers should be getting banned for presumably breaking the rules so many damn times. Regardless of the target, this is embarrassing like you said and absolutely unacceptable. Transfems are always getting accused of pedo shit, getting pedojacketed, and it's fucking exhausting.
I hope this will be a growing moment for the server as I'd really like to stay, this is my special interest and comfort fandom, but that'll be up to the mod team and the admins over time to make sure stuff like this is taken care of so that it's a safe space for it's large swathes of lgbtq+ and neurodiverse fans. 💜 Andy's response gives me hope and remember y'all, these mods/admins are people too and should also be held accountable like we are. They can make mistakes, but it's important to still be accountable for it, to be a compassionate human being or whatever kind of kin. It's okay to make posts like I have if something is wrong, don't be afraid to speak up.
