I find that really bothersome, actually. There's people on that post who are very happily slamming other people when they say this is where they draw the line as being pedos, and where are the mods of Pillowfort when that's going down? Some of it borders on bullying, which they say is against their TOS, but it's like some bullying is okay, so long as it's in support of staff? Calling someone as pedo cause they think the rules are badly considered and badly delivered is hella bullying in my book. If you're afraid of speaking out because you're gonna be labeled offensively by someone who doesn't know you, then what else can you call it?
I agree with that whole second part as well. I'm not into it myself. I know why some people who do it do it, and honestly what other people find sexy in their own homes, if it's not hurting anyone else (or animals) they can do what they like. People like to walk out the idea that underage art/fic leads to real life pedophilia, but if real life crime were massively caused by digital art, there would have been an uptick in beastiality when My Little Pony became popular, you know?
btw with Dreamwidth, you don't have to interact. I mean, I know we're building a community and that's obviously super important at the moment, but lurking is a group activity on this kind of site XD If you don't want to interact right now, or you want to just watch how other people are conversing, you can use 'add memory' to bookmark the page for later or 'track this' to track later comments, both of which mean you can put off engagement for later. It's super chill (and certainly way more than on tumblr where if you aren't there for the content it just gets drowned in reblogs and you lose it forever).
