When You Aren’t Used To A Mortal Body And Know Nothing About Mortals

Periodic rent-lowering-gunshots:

Fiction is not reality.

You can enjoy things in fiction that would be awful in the real world. Like playing a murderhobo in a game! In the real world, being or supporting a murderer-thief would be pretty damn awful, while in the game it's just good fun. Same with anything else you choose to do with the pixels on the screen, like kinks that don't affect anyone real, so they're okay in fiction, but would be pretty damn bad in real life.

No one else is responsible for your online experience. They are required not to harass you, but they are not and never will be obligated to not post about ships, kinks, or tropes you dislike just to avoid you seeing them. It's up to you to blacklist words or phrases, block tags, or even block users as needed to avoid seeing content that upsets you.

No one can force you to read anything against your consent. Any content you don't like seeing can be instantly avoided by closing out of the offending post/fic.

You are not owed an online experience free of discomfort.

Nothing that happens in your imagination can ever make you a bad person. Words you write or read about fictional characters will never make you a bad person.

The claim that media consumption influences real-life behavior is intellectually dishonest and serves only to excuse the behavior of real offenders.

Fiction is a safe way to explore horrifying or confusing concepts. Therapists agree that fiction, even (or especially) about taboo topics is a good coping mechanism, especially, but not exclusively, for trauma survivors. Fiction is to adults what play therapy is to children. This doesn't stop being true if the work in question is of a sexual nature.

Sex isn't an inherently worse or better motivation than anything else. A work written to create feelings of arousal isn't dirty, shameful, or in any way less pure than works written to entertain, provoke moral questions, or for other reasons. And worth noting is that multiple purposes can exist in the same story, especially fanfiction.

You aren't entitled to an explanation for why someone reads, writes, or otherwise enjoys certain works, kinks, tropes, ships, etc.

Do people care if u get inspired by other polls.... Anyway the red/blue poll I see going around is nice but I found that I associate my friends with all sorts of colors so. here

In the past, people saw the polls, saw who they support was doing well, and didn't vote. Then, their candidate lost.

Get out and vote.

@runephoenix6769 posted this but because of the tags tumblr wouldn't let me blaze it. Hopefully it'll let me since i'm not tagging anything.

EDIT: do not mail your ballots now! It's too late to mail them, check your county's rules for returning them to get them counted. You may be able to drop them off at a ballot box or voting site.

Be aware that there are limits on who can return them, and that you may need to provide ID. Check your county's website before you go.

Additionally, you don't have to tell people how you voted. You can lie! They will never know.

And vote the whole ballot! I know it's a lot, but it is so important. It helps how our schools are run, how your local police department is run, and even the potholes in your area.

Not to mention the citizen-submitted bills/propositions!
