TW: Pedophilia

Teenagers are rarely taught the reason why they can't consent to sex with adults.

And that's because teaching them that would completely unravel our coercion-based society.

It can be difficult to explain in detail the exact reason and all the specifics in a way that they will understand. But the simplest way to phrase it is that in some cases, even when someone agrees to something and even when they appear enthusiastic about it, there's too much of a power imbalance that it's no different than forcing them. Also, having power and being abusive doesn't require a conscious expectation to be obeyed.

Imagine a world in which every teenager understood that and was easily able to call out anyone who tried to convince them otherwise.

They'd know that there's no such thing as an employee consenting to working for a poverty wage, working in unsafe conditions, working long hours, or working without taking breaks. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to paying a bank overdraft fee. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to student loan debt. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to medical bills. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to generating profit for banks or landlords in order to have a place to live and being evicted or foreclosed when you lose your source of income. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to a police search. They'd know that there's no such thing as a child who's okay with their parents spanking them. They'd know that being dependent on someone does not mean that you can never criticize them. They'd know that if it's considered abusive to simply play along when someone obeys, then it has to be much more abusive to actively expect to be obeyed, which many adults do to them.

And people who benefit from a society based on coercion masquerading as freedom wouldn't like that.

So instead, teenagers are taught something dismissive. They're taught that what they want doesn't matter. They're taught that they're too young to know what love is. They're taught "it's the law". They're taught things that are insulting to their intelligence, which they'll naturally rebel against.

I fucking LOVE the blogs who's whole thing are like "MCR as [random object]" you're so right that coffee mug DOES look like Gerard Way, and I DO need 29837382 more posts just like this thank you I love you

"every possible kind of content can be found on the internet" yeah sure except for the One fucking thing I'm looking for. why does no one want to talk about the One Singular thing I'm looking for. but yeah other than that everything is on here.

*bites you*

(ph cr. Ray Lego)

y'know. some queerplatonic ships i'm like "okay yeah i get why the rest of the fandom can't See My Vision. it's a bit complex." but other ones it's like "how do like none of you see this. it feels like the most obvious interpretation of what these two got goin on." and i Need fandom to understand and care about qprs more so they can Understand

I am bad at callout posts because generally they suck but seriously can we stop using she/her for Gerard and acting like they’re a trans woman when he’s not. What the fuck happened to boys can wear skirts and makeup because it’s all just clothes and makeup without gender. Gerard’s stated pronouns are he/they and that is that. That’s all you need to know and it’s high time yall started actually respecting his pronouns.

[please reblog this one]
