Why Censorship Is Bad

An Essay On The Dangers Of Censorship

Hello everyone. We keep seeing a lot of takes online (mainly Twitter and TikTok) talking about how there needs to be censorship on taboo subjects. We wanted to share some reasons why that may not be as great an idea as you may think.

The taboo subjects now adays are usually sexual in nature. Kinks, incest, loli/shota, etc, a lot of people want to ban. A talking point we've heard a few times is that if people see this stuff in fiction then they'll start to like it and change the way their brain is wired. This is THE EXACT talking points conservatives had when videos games first came out, calling them violent and the cause of school shootings. More importantly for this essay, this is what happened as well when movies first came out.

When movies first came out there was an outcry from the public to have more moral films. In fear of both loosing an audience and being censored by the government (as movies were too new to be protected by law) film studios adopted The Hays Code, self censorship basically. The Hays Code censored the stuff people wanted gone sure, extreme violence, sex, excessive use of drugs, but that's not where the censorship stopped.

Amongst things banned in The Hays Code were queer people / relationships, and interracial relationships. When you open the floodgates to censorship, who decides what's moral and what's not? This is exactly what would happen again. You say no sex, the law may hear no queers. And lately, they'd sure love that opportunity!

So what do we do instead? It's completely fair if you're triggered by certain subjects in media or just plain old don't want to see them. That's fine. What people can do to help is properly tag stuff. For example the tag system in AO3 is there for a reason, USE IT. If you see someone online making something you don't like, block them, but don't harass them. You have a right to block them, just as they have a right to create. Trigger warnings have become a bit more common place beyond fanfiction too. They're in some books, shows, and video games now.

Censorship is a slippery slope, one that in our current day we really don't need. Don't let the government have more tools to erase you.

I really love the qpr thingy you have for Ink and fresh. :D

Thank you!!

Sometimes I'll take inspo from my own qpr. They're not the Most similar to us I think, being totally honest, but I do like to sometimes base things on us... if only because it makes me laugh a lot.

yo is your new AU about ai-generated stuff? cause if so that's so so so cool

Indeed it is! The idea of AI is obviously very bad for creators and creation, so I thought of Ink. We know he fights physical art blocks in canon, so him fighting off whole AU’s- hell, even deciding if its morally okay for him to do something like that- was super neat to me!

The entire point of the comic is to show how bad AI is, so I hope it comes off that way haha :3

note（ノート）

Must-know for Japanese fandom: the meaning of "proship" and the concept of "proshippers" in Western f｜オレンジア｜note

[TN: This is a translation of this note by Maromi. If you are able, I encourage you to read the original article for yourself as translation

I have never read a more excellent article

"Be cringe be free!"

Are you cool with proshippers? Are you cool with alt art styles? Are you cool with furries? Are you cool with cute 2000s anime without you calling it loli/shota bait? Are you cool with fujoshis/Himejoshis/Fudanshis/Himedanshis? are you cool with-

If I had a nickel for every time someone’s profile mentioned how much they like cannibalism, serial killers, abusive relationships, etc and then immediately ‘proship DNI’ under it…

WAVE WAVE WAVE!!!! I was wondering if you could draw classicink…. if not thats cool!! :3 <3

They're so sillyyyyyy (sorry again, art wasn't arting)

A comic I did for Goth's birthday back in 2022! Thinking about Error stepping back into Goth's life and trying to build a relationship with him again hurts my feelings. ;w;

Hi! Can you draw Goth Sans or Afterdeath, pleaseee? 🥺

nekophy my beloved

I’m almost 90% positive you’re aware of deathcest. It’s a problem almost everyone would like you to resolve. Please.

I'm not your or anyone's mother. I can't and am not responsible for anyone's internet experience or what anyone do on their free time.

Let me be clear; I don't care for this ship and it's not my cup of tea, but above everything, I didn't create Goth for anyone to use him as an excuse to bully or send death threats to someone. Goth is a character. He is not real. He is buncha pixels and dots. I get it. Anyone can get attached to fictional characters and there's no shame in that- what's shameful is when you're harassing literal breathing human being over it.

This "problem" you speak off can be solved within clicks or scrolls. Better yet, manages your own algorithm. Block the tags, block the people, don't like/reblog the things you hate, even as a claim you don't like it, not only you're just spreading it further to the people who didn't need to know it exist in the first place, algorithm would assume you like it and keep reccomends you that same thing you hate.

You aren't weird or wrong for wanting the best internet experience for yourself, but just remember that this is not a forum, it's social medias. The internet doesn't cater to anyone's needs and harassing each other are just going to create a whole new circle of hell.
