Hello lovelies,
I just wanted to let you all know that, yes, I am aware of the list. Thank you to those who got in touch with me about it. If you would like to speak to me about it, I am more than happy to do so in private.
If you are uncomfortable with the content I produce, by all means, do what you must to feel safe and comfortable. I tag extensively both on Tumblr and on AO3 in order for you to avoid content you don’t wish to see.
I’ll direct you all to this post where I discuss the problematic content I enjoy.
It might also be worth reading Neil Gaiman’s blog post “Why Defend Icky Speech?” which discusses censorship, free speech, and art.
I would also like to remind everyone that both my blogs are flagged as having adult content, because I do not wish to expose young people to things they are not prepared for.
And finally, do not send hate to the poster of the list. They’re young and, “they
thought they were doing a good thing. They thought they were defending
other people from something they needed to be protected from“ (Gaiman), when in reality they are spreading misinformation and advocating censorship. .
If you read nothing else, read the Neil Gaiman.
