My followers know I hate talking about politics and current events, and generally refuse to do so, but this is important.
A bill has been introduced in the US that would make all pornography a federal crime. Owning it. Creating it. Distributing it.
Under this law, fanart of nude characters would be a federal crime.
Under this law, depictions of homosexuality or simply being transgender, would be considered pornography and a federal crime.
This bill is not going to pass.
However, the reason for this bill is to continue to push the "overton window". The reason for this bill is to make banning pornography seem more and more normal to everyone until they can actually do that.
And remember, they consider depictions of gay characters and transgenders characters "pornography" in any context, including platonic.
They have been working on this for a decade now and it has been working.
If you are one of the people in fandom who thinks that "nasty" porn on AO3 should be banned because it's "icky" or "immoral", then this mental scam is working on you.
Censorship is never about protecting people.
Censorship is always about control.
Do not let the rising moral panic affect your mind and make you weak to propaganda that lets others control you and control what you watch and read.
Do not fall for the scam.
When they say they are going to ban "pornography" it means they're going to ban anything they don't like by calling it "pornography" and they don't like you!!
I’m starting to think some of y’all haven’t actually felt the rain on your skin… which is crazy because no one else can feel it for you
If you consume fanfic on ao3 and are 18+ and American I need you to lock in and call your senators saying you oppose a federal porn ban. This would effectively ban ao3 and being queer in public, among many other things, due to the intentionally vague language of the bill. I’m counting on queer tumblr and fandom tumblr to help me get the word out that you have to call your senators
I think people let JK Rowling's transphobia define her too much, we need to acknowledge her other aspects.
She's also a racist, antisemitic, and a Holocaust denier, we can't forget that!
autism is not a horrible disease that ruins lives and tears apart families. elon musk, who is autistic and an evil billionaire who doesn't pay taxes, has ruined thousands of lives, and whose family hates him, is a statistical outlier adn should not have been counted
I am in direct contact with the people behind the Ban Conversion 'Therapy' campaign in EU and we would really like to reach the threshold in a couple central/eastern European countries (e.g. Poland 🇵🇱, Czechia 🇨🇿, Hungary 🇭🇺, Romania 🇷🇴, Bulgaria 🇧🇬, Slovakia 🇸🇰) but due to the language barrier it is a bit harder. These countries can sometimes be more conservative so them reaching the signature threshold carries a lot weight!
We don’t know how (where) to reach these countries effectively! ~12 years ago I was on https://www.interpals.net where you can chat with people from all over the world, it still looks to be active so we can campaign there BUT, we would love to receive more ideas how to reach people from the above countries.
Don’t forget to share the campaign (actively messaging/asking friends is by far the most effective method!!)
Hi Prideknights!
You're based in Europe, right? Could you help out signal-boosting this European citizens initiative to ban conversion therapy in the EU?
https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home
I don't think I have to explain the horrors of conversion therapy to you, so let me explain how this initiative works.
For it to get taken seriously by the EU, we need two things:
7 countries need to reach the minimum threshold of signatures for their country. We're currently at 6 out of 7! Slovenia only needs 300 more signatures to become country number 7!
We need a total of 1 million signatures. This might look daunting, but there days ago we were still at 200.000. Yesterday we were at 450.00. We are at 535.000 right now. So we have a long way to go, but we are moving fast!
The deadline is in a few days, on May 17.
Anybody with a European citizenship can add their name to the pile! If we reach the right amount, the official citizen initiative will be put before the EU Commission.
With lgbtq+ rights getting rolled back across the world, including Europe, there is no time to lose to demand stronger protections.
Violence set to happy music will never get old to me. Blood splattering to an 80s pop song is like a sister to me because I'm not allergic to fun.
