Wot?

(Anonymous) 2015-08-23 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
These days people use "pedo" like the new "satanic baby killer" appellation: a conversational nuclear bomb guaranteed to shut down any further attempts at discussion.

I mean, you can't turn around without pedo-this, pedo-that, pedo-everywhere.

Oh noes you find a seventeen-year-old attractive who happens to look twenty and you didn't know his or her age beforehand, OMG HDU PEDO

Movie torrenters are sekritly also moving KIDDIE PORN HDU PEDO (no kidding, someone from the Canadian government actually tried smearing software and movie pirates with this, and it went over about as well as a lead brick)

et cetera, et cetera.

So yeah, I think people shitting over high school AUs with OMG PEDO accusations are really reaching.

Don't worry, rapist is taking over again. If you believe different then you are raping me!

To be fair...several pedophile rings have been busted in Europe. All involving officials in high places. And it is mostly being swept under the rug.

And there have been rumors of pedophile rings being used by high profile politicians and celebrities in the US for years.

So yeah, people are a bit wary of pedophiles or mentions of.

I mean, yes, it's true that pedophilia is more common IRL than satanic baby-killing cults. But realistically, your average "artist on Tumblr who writes high school AUs/draws fictional adult men with somewhat youthful faces/has SebaCiel artwork in their favorites" still isn't likely to be either one.

I got a giggle thinking about a satanic baby killer doing fan fic/art, and now I feel bad.

Sad to see that Godwin's law just shifted from "Hitler" to "pedos". I've seen people being falsely accused of this so many times I'm not even surprised that this way of thinking has "finally" infected the fandoms that supposed to have nothing to do with it.

I wish these kids would understand the weight of their words.

(Anonymous) 2015-08-23 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I think that's because "Hitler" has shifted to mean "adorable LOLtacular character to cosplay".

(Anonymous) 2015-08-24 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Which is disgusting in and of itself.

(Anonymous) 2015-08-23 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess I'm fortunate that I don't see much of this in my fandom, but this whole pedo thing seems to be out of control across the board. Like holy shit.

(Anonymous) 2015-08-23 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm just beyond confused because HOW did the TF fandom manage to make this into a shitstorm of all things? Cybertronians are robotic beings, high school AUs are fine in every other fandom but it's somehow OMG YOUR ALL PEDOS in this corner?

I'm so lost jfc

(Anonymous) 2015-08-24 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
It's like the pedowank in Sherlock fandom, a fandom where no involved canonical character is below the age of, what, 35? Robots are pedos in disguise seems like the next logical step...

(Anonymous) 2015-08-24 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
That is the greatest out of context line for describing how bizarre fandom fights can get: "Anyone drawing robots in skirts is a pedophile now."

Came down here to say that maybe everyone involved should just take a break from fandom for a little while.

(Anonymous) 2015-08-24 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa whoa whoa hold the phone, people who write high school AUs are pedos now?

Guess I shouldn't be surprised after people started calling John Green a pedo for writing YA.

(Anonymous) 2015-08-24 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
That... isn't what happened.

(Anonymous) 2015-08-24 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
HONEST-FUCKING-LY

Suddenly anything that even hints at teenage/young adult sexuality is toted as pedophilia. Anyone trying to have a good time and explain they meant no harm, are willing to tag and put under readmores get their name dragged though the mud and are accosted by shitty bandwagon pitchforkers asking if you're a CSA survivor and if not, then we deserve to burn in hell

While at the same time, those same people are reblogging Hannibal goreporn and furry shit.

I'm sorry. It's just been a stressful weak on tumblr with all this shipping hate from all corners of fandom.

Welcome to fandom!
