I would consider myself "proship in pratice", & maybe I just am one with intresst into romantized or glorified topics waning over time like the waves. But Over the years I have definiately noticed the increase of anti attitues & believes and it scares me.
Do I condone things like adult X child/teen, teen X child, abuse or incest IRL? No, I don't. But fiction isn't reality, nobody is actually getting hurt. And if I ever end up writting something glorified or romantized I'll warn people about it either in the description or tags cause I wouldn't like it either to be hit with things that I don't like or aren't good for me.
I'm not old, I'm turning 20 this summer. And while there was stuff exposed to me as a child that I shouldn't have seen. I feel like the current internet isn't really equiped/knowlageble about how to filler or tag to avoid the things that squick/trigger you. Nobody younger then 13 should even be on the internet without supervision. And while 13 yo aren't stupid, they don't have the best critical skills either.
I do understand the idea of not wanting to expose kids in fandom to stuff that might harm them. But it feels like nowadays you're not allowed to have spaces anymore where fiction is treated like a playground for adults. As somebody else said; its paranoia inducing.
Another thing I dislike about this is the Tumblr thing of having DNIs. I don't think the concept itself it completely rotten. But more often then not, the DNI isn't actually going to stop the people OP doesn't want to interact with + now the people who don't like them have a list of triggers to spam them with. I think the DNI, as it exists now, is flawed. + I'm personally biased against them cause its usually done by antis.
