My opinion on Non-Con art
9 years ago
☾✩ /fucking tag that shit/
Twice this week I've seen people make fun of rape victims for politely asking for a fucking tag
it isn't that hard. I get it, some people are into that and some are not.
and some have really bad memories that it brings up.
I think its honestly selfish to just refuse to tag something to keep a fellow human being safe?
It takes two seconds.
But as if that wasn't a big enough blow I saw other people come in and start making fun of this person for getting
dare i say it
/actually triggered/
by seeing some non-con that they weren't expecting.
What kind of fucked up person does that?
"Haha, you have trauma and I think its funny your body has negative reactions to it!"
Gross. Honestly just gross.
Draw whatever you want but please be mindful to others.
That's it. Thats literally all. If someone asks politely for something to be tagged then why not just do it
you aren't cool or edgy
Lost respect for a pretty popular artist recently lmao 
But what I don't get, what I am getting tired of, and what really needs to stop when those same people start to demonize people that include rape in their work. Your journal is better than most, I've seen people literally call ME a rapist in journals and comments - as well as other artists. I've seen people leave FA because its a 'den of rape'. Its insulting to other people in the community even if you are set off. Blurring the lines between fantasy and reality is dangerous.
I've been raped I know how painful those memories can be, but that doesn't excuse certain behavior.

Sorry, more of a vent than anything else. Ironically - people are more likely to read and respond to it here than if I made my own journal about it.
I don't know, I'm getting a little salty about this whole "lol u triggrd go cry in ur safezone' mentality leaching over into people who are
you know
actually triggered?
Like having PTSD myself I dont feel safe publicly telling people that I need to avoid certain things because they literally give me flashbacks and
intense stress because of the horrid community of trolls that has grown up in response to very very oversensitive people.
Neither side is innocent but i hate that good intending people are actually getting the brunt of things ;-;
I'm not saying that they should go to a safezone, but the white-knighting, the demonization, and the attacks have got to stop because THEY are what triggers the attitude of 'go cry in the safezone' because there is no way to appeal to someone that is going to give you death threats and tell you what you can and can't draw - so the only logical thing people can do is mock them.
And yeah, it sucks when people trying to contribute to the community have to deal with being called out as rapists because someone can't separate fantasy from reality.
just as much as i denounce those who attack victims for asking politely for a tag. ;u;
