how tumblr discourse has become a parody of itself and complete waste of everyone’s time:

normal person: “you can’t just call everything that makes you uncomfortable pedophilia? it’s really fucked up. two adults with an age gap isn’t pedophilia, neither is a 16 year old dating an 18 year old, neither is a real adult who looks at porn of cartoon characters that are canonically 17 or whatever. it just doesn’t work that way.”

some fucking asshole: “OH, SO YOU’RE SAYING YOU SUPPORT PEDOPHILES??????”

this is how every conversation about “pedophilia” goes on this site. productive conversations about this are not possible. the meanings of words don’t matter. facts don’t matter. laws don’t matter. all that matters is somebody is uncomfortable with something sexual, so they get to call everyone a pedophile. game over. congratulations guys, you cried wolf so much that now when actual potential child predators prowl this site, no one will know or care because “x user is a pedophile!!” now just means “x user probably reblogged some voltron porn”. fuck all y’all.
