(Anonymous) 2020-03-08 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)It's always frustrating to have the fun sucked out of fandom by people like that. Hopefully you'll find a better crowd and you'll be able to enjoy it now that you're leaving.

(Anonymous) 2020-03-09 07:16 am (UTC)(link)To be more specific - arguing on reddit why child brides should be legal, because it's "safer for a 12 year old girl to learn about sex from an experienced adult than from another child. And anyway, 12 is not a child-child and you're a disgusting ageist for even suggesting that. You should respect 12 year olds by treating them as adults, and when I say treating them as adults I mean fucking them". You'd be surprised how many open and unashamed pedos there are on reddit.
Coincidentally, those people are also often active on fandom subreddits, where they argue in favor of underage sex in fanworks. Obviously not everyone consuming and creating these fanworks is a pedophile, I do it myself, but I've spent enough time on reddit to know that there are many people (mostly men), who consume these fanworks for vastly different reasons than the author intended it. I suspect that people, who are oversensitive towards the underage fanworks on tumblr, have simply had one too many conversations on reddit, which started with "actually, there's nothing wrong with shipping fictional adults with kids, it's just fiction!", only to end with "and therefore child brides should be legal in real life". While I'm not defending their bullying behavior, their suspicion towards people who kink on these ships really isn't as absurd and unfounded as people, who aren't used to talking with out-and-proud pedophiles, think it is. I also used to roll my eyes on these people. And then I made a reddit account, and boy was that an eye-opening experience...
