also what im saying doesnt apply to like. weirdos who try to use "if im critical its okay" to enjoy gross shit like pedophilia incest fics bc there is literally no way to enjoy something like that and remain critical at the same time.
@toons one of the creators of the homestuck epilogue writes pedophilia and incest fics
@alien @naggy i wasnt aware of the problems with the hiveswap creators but i Am very aware that hussie sucks ass. that being people behind media that do shitty things Are shitty people bc their actions reflect that. what i said still doesnt extend to them bc they arent critical of what they consume/create bc otherwise they wouldnt be doing nasty shit like writing incest/pedophilia fanfiction.

@toons im... confused? i think you misunderstood - i'm not saying this to defend them or apply yr words on them, i'm saying: things they produce will end up just like that and will affect other people. including homestuck. no matter how critical people are. it will affect them.

aside of all of that: in the end being critical of media involves, in fact, lots of posts talking about how it's bad. you can't say "its ok if you're critical of media" and then "but don't ever make a post about it" which was basically what your original post was about.

@naggy i think im a bit confused now too? what do you mean by "the things they produce will end up like that"?

also, for the second thing: i mentioned it in the replies but 100% my fault for not really specifying what i meant. when i say callout post i specifically mean posts that ride the wave of "if you enjoy this, you are a bad person". i realize the term callout post holds a different meaning for other ppl so my bad on that one.

@toons
if a person who thinks pedophilia is ok writes sth, it will end up w pro-pedophilia one way or another. thats what i mean

ah i see. either way, you really dont seem to understand that having certain standards and criteria means not interacting or consuming certain media. the fact that you're posting stuff that talks about "ideological purity" just tells me you're more offended people wouldn't want to interact w ppl who watch certain media than you are about that media being harmful in the first place.

yes no piece of media is perfect, but there's also MANY pieces of media that aren't made by incest n pedophilia apologists who love hitler jokes, and asking people to engage with those instead isn't "ideological purity"

@toons that's cool and all but... are you aware that the people Hussie hired for the homestuck epiloque are, in fact, those weirdos who enjoy and produce incest pedophilia fics? cephied_variable has fanfiction in their ao3 about dave getting it on w mom lalonde and ctset has voltron incest on their twitter
@toons hussie put that content in his series because he thinks it's either whatever or funny, and is actively endorsing people who are those weirdos who make pornography of his underage characters
