One again, apologies that the only time I log here is to have a rant, but this is one of the few safe spaces I have. I've felt for a couple of years now that the fight against anti-ism is well and truly lost. Society is becoming more and more prudish. Governments are pushing laws to restrict NSFW (or simply *perceived* NSFW content) and remove anonymity from the internet (therefore making it easier to shame or harass people who are "deviant") But their arguments are just getting so extreme and ridiculous at this point. Today I came across someone who argued we can't sexualise an 18 year old anime character because "she was a minor most of the time". I'm sorry but if we follow that line of reasoning then nobody, fictional or real, can be sexualised until they're 36. They must know their arguments are bad, right? This has got to be some kind of tactic whereby they force us to accept the premise that fictional characters have to be 18 in order to even begin to claw back the acceptability of jorking it to 35 year old milfs. Because if it *isn't* a bad faith argument technique like that, the alternative is that they actually are that dumb and that's even more depressing, that people like this have managed to influence culture and politics to such a degree that it's damaging people's ability to freely use the internet.
