Who said it: A tumblr “anti-shipper”, or a conservative, Republican, Christian extremist?
“By writing fanfiction and drawing fan art of ____, you are condoning it in society.”
“You are actively condoning ____.
If you encourage ____ by writing fan fiction that depicts that, then that encourages ____philes to take action.”
“You can whine all you want, but do you people realize that
CHILDREN were viewing these blogs, and were being influenced by immoral
behaviours?”
“What is so [toxic] about promoting morality?
Don’t you have any sense of shame?“
“I’m simply trying to make the world a better place.”
“I know that ____ and ____ are not technically siblings.
But they view each other as that, and thus to support them together is [incest].”TIME’S UP!
These quotes all came from a former member of Warriors for Innocence–a conservative, Republican, “religious right” extremist group that openly advocated for dominionism.
Bonus: Antis also seem to have the same view of fiction as
Vladimir Putin and his United Russia Party.If you’re still an anti-shipper, and you’re not embarrassed about it yet, you probably should be. You have literally become the new “soccer moms”, spewing the EXACT same outdated, easily-debunked arguments that have been used for decades by right-wing extremists and religious zealots. Good job, Helen.
I honestly never thought I would live long enough to see teenagers turn into the same people that teenagers have always despised, nor see people claiming to be “progressive” using the same rhetoric as some crusty old bigoted bible-thumper.
While you’re at it, signal-boost this, too. ‘Antis’ can’t continue to remain ignorant of who they align themselves with.
If you’re still trying to identify your oppressors, there they are. You found them. What good do you think will come of a movement advocating for sexual repression and censorship? Have you ever stopped to think about what you’re doing?
