Le sign… speaking of the server,

dirk is encouraging me to be more firm on my own thoughts for my comfort

i’ve seen ppl talk about it in stream a lil which im always like I Don’t Care when it pops up but i’ve had Enough and i want to talk about the topic bc it’s itching at my brain follicles.

since we’re pretty strider-oriented, this had to happen at some point: strider cest/strilonde cest/in cest wont be allowed in the main server. if other people don’t care, i might make a separate server.

> -“hey why is that ^ something you would allow? pretty insane.” / “are you a pro shipper then??”

# no

> “so you’re an anti?”

# also no

i dislike this argument as a whole bc i don’t ‘get it’ i guess because im audhd. neither side is fully correct nor fully wrong.

“fiction affects reality.” and “fiction is not reality.” are two different thought processes that can and should coexist in the same space.

> look. fiction can affect reality, but it IS also possible to separate from it. you can para or whatever responsibly. tag it. try to make sure people who don’t want to see it don’t have to see it. and if minors are getting sent your shit, make sure its clear that this should NOT be happening in reality.
> if you’re a child, keep that shit blocked. it’s NOT for you and you should not be actively consuming it. (please listen to this advice bc i grew up on the internet barely supervised, from a very unhealthily early age [7-8] and then developed into a fucked up hypersexual.)
> (seeing something fucked up and being like AUGH my eyes! is normal because that just. happens. thats life. you deal with it afterwards in some way. talking to someone you trust etc. you do not go back for more i am begging.)
> (if someone is showing you these things on purpose then please read this website all the way through for me ok?)

> you should not be looking at an adult exploring/enjoying fucked up shit

> videogames are not going to make you or me more violent by having violence, gore, and murder in them.
> but videogames DO make some people violent. those people should not have access to these things. but we (you and i) cannot control that beyond making sure content is labelled and set aside.
> i like playing games where i assassinate people. i am not an assassin. someone could play the same game and get terrible ideas they act on. this is not my fault for playing the game.

> and, if you’re an adult who likes fucked up shit (me too) tag your shit or have it listed somewhere on your about that it’s something you post about frequently there. and maybe reiterate that it’s not real. its just toys. and should never be followed irl.
> yeah, it fuckin sucks that we gotta do this shit, but kids are unfortunately on the internet, with the inability to differentiate grey from black and white. your shit might be the first exposure. which sucks!!
> so it’s our responsibility to try and mitigate harm on both sides unfortunately until we can convince parents to start parenting their children again. which sucks. i just wanna post shit in peace but the buzzing around from very loud teenagers makes me anxious. i get it.

> it fucking sucks!!! but we can’t control other people, especially if theyre malicious

> but you control what YOU see on the internet. block anyone. (i blocked someone back in the day for disliking johndave. be free.)
> and help people do that (control what they see) by making it very clear.
> you aren’t evil for not wanting to see it, and other people aren’t evil for enjoying fucked up content.

also some of yall on BOTH SIDES do some truly vile shit in the name of this argument when your energy could be spent elsewhere doing shit you like or even doing things that are actually. Helpful.

so i don’t like either label i dont want to be associated with either of the sides but if you want to call me one or the other then . Whatever i guess? thats your business, not mine.
just know you are not a failure or a freak for not constantly reinforcing and reassuring everyone that you think adults doing their own thing in fictional spaces with little toy dolls (that theyve been doing since the 70s-80s) is gross. you can just think that like. in general and look away because the dolls are dolls.
but don’t go posting doll horn-knees untagged. that’s rude as fuck.
