Because a lot of the time the antis are just talking out their ass and only an idiot would think there was a genuine moral issue at stake.

[(Anonymous)]

there are two questions that I think are important here

(1) is there a genuine moral issue at stake?

(2) do the people making the moral argument genuinely believe that there is a moral issue at stake?

[(Anonymous)]

There are people who genuinely believe that white people are superior to all else.

I am under no obligation to give any quarter or legitimacy to them.

[(Anonymous)]

boy is that a pretty wildly incendiary comparison.

I'm not sure that, like, generally acknowledging that people are serious in their beliefs is necessarily extending legitimacy to those same beliefs. IDK what else to say about it, if we're going to compare people who dislike AO3 to white supremacists.

Perhaps, but saying "But they really believe it, so it's a legitimate moral issue!" is also spurious, doncha think?

Re: AYRT

Digging seriously into that question would require doing a ton of really tedious spadework about the distinction between political and moral issues and the relationship between politics and morality and I don't wanna.

I do think that white supremacy is a genuine political issue, the correct political stance towards that issue being to reject and resist white supremacy at every turn. And I guess I think making a moral argument against sites hosting pedophilic content is, on the face of it, within the realm of reasonable moral arguments in a way that white supremacy is not within the realm of reasonable political arguments.
