No, there's problematic and then there's problematic. I just draw the line in a different place to where you draw it, and for me pedophilia is over it.

Oh no, a teenager had sexual fantasies about a fellow teenager and a sexy pirate! The horror!

As long as you do it quietly.

OP obviously made the secret knowing it could be controversial, and I have as much right to comment my opinion here as she has to ship her ships and post her secrets.

You do, but calling OP problematic and "over the line" is a judgement, not an opinion. An opinion would have been along the lines of "Oof, that age gap is way too much for me, but you do you OP"

I also have the right to be judgy.

It's not like I'm attacking OP's fan fic or calling for them to be driven off the internet. We're all here to say what we think.

Still an anti

I don't agree with AYRT, but being an anti is about behavior not beliefs--or at least it should be. And I think it's doing a disservice to the value and utility of this community to subject the opinions expressed here to the same standards as everywhere else.

We're all of course free to judge AYRT for their opinion. But merely having said opinion doesn't make them an anti, and IMO neither does expressing it here, in a community that literally exists for the purpose of airing bad, unpopular, and controversial fandom-related opinions.

ayrt
I meant on other sites in fandom at large. I didn't find your comment here particularly offensive though OP might think otherwise, idk.

FWIW, when I was 16, my OTP was me/Hannibal Lecter.

- DA

Same but when I was 13 and read Silence of the Lambs for the very first time.

Then many years later, I watched Hannibal, the TV show, and I was like kid!me had really good taste.

As for Hook/Wendy, it was never my thing, but I remember when Order of the Phoenix came out, I was very much into Lucius/Harry so I did have a thing for Jason Isaacs too. He was also very hot in Discovery and the OA imo.

Yeah, mine was when the movie came out! Though I appreciate the TV show too.

And I also found Jason Isaacs very damn hot as Lucius Malfoy.

I was way into both Lucius/Harry and Lucius/Hermione. Pretty much entirely because I related to both of them and was super into him.

AYRT said you sound like an anti, and you proved you are one with your answer. So no, not "no." Chastising people for their ships is the definition of what antis do. Drawing lines about what is and isn't an ok type of problematic ship is what antis do. lmao

Well, steady on, I'm not sure that's true. People are allowed to be uncomfortable about ships, and to draw lines and make judgments about what they personally consider objectionable in their own lives. I don't think it makes AYRT an anti. They're not chasing anyone around or harassing them or anything.

NAYRT but I think in my experience the difference is:

It's okay to draw personal lines on what you think is okay and with what you want to engage in.

It's not okay to go into someone else's space and tell them that because of your personal lines what they're doing is wrong.

Again, this secret is about teen shipping another teen with an adult, and if anyone tries to tell me they did NOT identify with a teen/adult ship situation as a teen I am going to be super hella skeptical...

It's not okay to go into someone else's space and tell them that because of your personal lines what they're doing is wrong.

That's not really what's going on in this instance...

Sorry, I just meant for Anti/not-anti behaviour definitions in general in my opinion, not for this particular situation, I wasn't very clear.

Oh, gotcha, fair enough then.

I had my first adult/teen ship when I was 18. It was Roy/Ed from Fullmetal Alchemist and I always flipflopped between which one I wanted to be and which one I wanted to be with.

+1000

There are some ships that skeeve me out bigtime for various reasons. I don't want to even see them, period.

But I recognize that other people ship those ships and they have the right to enjoy them in peace even though they're very much not my thing.

+10000000000

It's fiction, not real life, and I don't care what other people swhip or don't ship as long as they aren't being dicks about it to me.

*ship

Ugh, typos.

swhip... the new S&M!

How is a younger person fantasizing about an older person "pedophilia"?
