Okay, let me rephrase that.

Being opposed to smut fanfiction about 12-year-olds =/= puritanism.

Puritanism would be more like "I am grossed out by sex in general and think nobody should write smutty fanfiction."

"I am grossed out by 12-year-olds having sex and think nobody should write smutty fanfiction about that specifically" IS NOT PURITANISM. It is a perfectly normal reaction to a topic that a lot of people find majorly squicky, and with good reason.

"I don't like so NO ONE SHOULD WRITE IT".

Okay...

Since you completely ignored the point I was trying to make, I'm going to assume you either didn't get it or are being deliberately obtuse.

In case it's the first one, I'll break it down in the simplest terms I possibly can:

A lot of people are disturbed by smut involving children. Some of these people believe that such smut should not be written. This is in no way comparable to people thinking that no one should write ANY sort of smut. Someone who thinks no one should ever write ANY sort of smut can accurately be called puritanical. Someone who is only opposed to smut involving children CANNOT be called puritanical if that is the only type of smut they are opposed to.

Do you understand now?

So it's not puritanical as long as you're censoring a kink you dislike and not smut in general.

Deliberately obtuse it is, then.

no u

You were so patient with them, anon. My hat is off to you.

It's still puritanical to say that anyone shouldn't write a particular kind of smut, even if it offends you. Don't look at it if you don't like it. Some people get their jollies from it, and that's exactly 0% your business.

I do not give a shit about what sort of smut people read. What I object to is misuse of the word puritanical. When words are misused they become meaningless.

If you seriously think there's no difference between being offended by smut of children and being offended by smut in general, then there is no point in my debating this with you any further.

I consider it pearl-clutching when someone uses their offense over a particular kink to claim that no one ever should write it. If it's literally just the word "puritanical" you're taking issue with here, okay, I'll use a different one, though I still think it functions.

No, it does not function. It is not puritanical, nor is it "pearl-clutching" for someone to be upset by fictional depictions of children engaged in sexual activity for the purpose of arousing the reader.

It is not puritanical, because to use that word is to describe someone is essentially the same as saying they are offended by sexuality, or that they have nonsensical and/or outdated views about sexuality. This is why it is ridiculous, untrue, and more than a bit skeevy to call someone puritanical for say being upset or offended by the sexualization of children.

Words have meanings. You cannot use a word with a concrete definition to mean whatever you want if you expect people to take what you're saying seriously.

You're moving the goalposts here. I don't care if someone's upset by fictional young'ins having sex; that's understandable and that in and of itself is in no way pearl-clutching. We're talking about the ones that take it a step further and claim no one should write it because it offends them. That's taking their own personal opinions and using them to shame others into ceasing whatever activity it is that bothers them. That's basically the definition of pearl-clutching.

lol why are you even arguing with this person

I give up. There is no reasoning with you.

Okay, have a good one. ♥

By your (extremely poor) logic, the entire country of Canada (and IIRC Australia too) is, legally, "puritanical." Because guess what? Written and drawn depictions of underage persons in graphic sexual situations are illegal here.
