So yeah that’s true.
Basically there’s this overwhelming problem where people who get really popular on tumblr for their shitposting prowess have completely swallowed queerphobic propaganda about queerness leading to child rape.
Only because most of them are queer themselves, they have to pick a specific type of queer person to accuse of being a child rapist, and they choose people who write “obscene” fiction.
Because, in their minds, obscenity is indefensible.
And so, to them, it is reasonable and appropriate to suggest that writing a novel makes you guilty of raping a child.
This is the underlying belief set that antishippers have, but recognizing the severity of their hatred for “nasty” queers would cause them a lot of pain and guilt, so as a self defense mechanism they convince themselves that it’s all okay. Their hatred of queer people is okay, because they don’t hate the queerness. They just hate the specific type of fiction those nasty queers are writing.
Which is why saying those queer authors are child rapists is totally appropriate and proportionate.
God it always sounds so absurd when I write it out, but that’s the problem. It IS absurd. It’s almost incomprehensibly stupid, because that’s what cults do to you, that’s how they make you obey.
They convince you to behave in a way that is so ridiculous that it alienates you from your friends, family, and peers until the only way you know how to seek guidance, or help, or affection, or any human compulsions whatsoever, is to exagerratedly repeat cult behaviours and seek cult rewards.
And then you get to this point where people who are saying, “sex scenes in fiction are not the same as raping a child in real life,” are being harassed and attacked and driven to suicide or assaulted until they are hospitalized…
And it all just sounds so fucking insanely stupid and petty and over reactive that you can’t get help and you can’t get out.
So yeah, anyway, Bogleech is a member of the cult that encourages assault, murder, and retributive rape against queer authors, who call themselves “antishippers.”
AM I SEEING.
IN THE ALREADY BATTERED AND TORTURED YEAR OF 2022.
ON GOD’S BLUE TUMBLR.
THAT I AM BEING “CALLED OUT”
AS “QUEERPHOBIC”
BY A PERSON.
WHO DELIBERATELY CATEGORIZES
SEXUAL ATTRACTION
TO MINORS
AS AN LGBT IDENTITY
FOR SEEMINGLY NO OTHER REASON
BUT TO BE ABLE
TO CALL PEOPLE “QUEERPHOBIC”
FOR NOT APPROVING
OF THEIR FFFUCKING
FAN’S FFFFFFFFFFFICTIONS
Within an hour of me reblogging this last night there were easily over a hundred notes angry or disgusted by OP (who is now blogging about how it’s homophobic, TERFy, AND RACIST to criticize that kind of fanfiction?!!) so i can only imagine how many more there were before op deleted them all. They must have toiled at it like a fuckin coal miner with a pickaxe all morning!
