Why do you put so much effort into this bs?

Honestly? Truly?

Because this isn’t an activism movement. It’s a bullshit campaign of bullying and harassment hiding behind activism.

It’s hurt people I love more than life itself. It’s damaged their careers, it’s made them delete archived content of characters who were their own age when they drew it. It accuses victims of being pedophiles without evidence. It convinces people that normal sexual urges are Bad and Wrong and Evil and Abnormal. It led people to feed someone needles, to break other’s property, to tell suicidal youth to kill themselves, to make friend after friend after friend abandon fandom because the things that can get you crucified seem random, menial, unavoidable.

It’s because someone can make a solid attempt at ruining an artist’s life by associating their real name with pedophilia accusations, and then commission someone 2 months later for suggestive art of characters the same age.

It’s because “pedophile” is a go-to accusation. It gets thrown at me 5 times a day and I don’t know a SINGLE big-name artist who hasn’t heard the same. Multiple times. (Despite the fact that I am vocally, vehemently against NOMAP communities on tumblr.)

It’s because someone can have their blog, their primary source of income, deleted due to a false report campaign – their career destroyed overnight – because they made sfw art of the wrong fictional ship. Because I traded off suicide watch with their fiancé and after all that, it’s still happening and nothings fucking changed.

It’s because the bravest fucking person I know broke down in tears because someone who wanted to get back at her pulled out some homestuck art she posted on deviantart in high school, and sent it to her highest grossing client accusing her of being a pedophile. And nothing changed.

It’s because this IS bullshit. It’s fucking bullshit. And someone had to say something. Something has to change.
