There is an Amusing Irony...

To seeing people flip their shit over how someone has the AUDACITY to point out facts xP
Like: Pointing out someone draws rape.
Very common theme with R34. What makes me quirk a brow however, is the people clutching their pearls over how "You can't MENTION that! It makes me sound bad!", insisting that everyone HAVE to call it "Non-consensual" as rape sounds "too crude".
I mean, I have seen a lot of stupid shit in my over decade of experience in the fandom.
But this is pretty high on the list. Changing the name of an act, or a thing doesn't change what is going on. Like, if a hyper dude is forcing his dick down a loli's throat... he is forcing his hyper dick down a loli's throat. No matter how you re-brand it.
But ofc, as people have to take the icing on the cake, atop wanting to both have their cake and fuck it too: They also argued against that you shouldn't be allowed to post ex: males being raped, as that's "unethical". Despite almost always. What they are on a crusade against, is the counterpart or opposite of what they are pushing on everyone. Still find it stupid over the fact that I have simple standards and that I’m consistent is considered a negative trait. Whereas ex: Being a compulsive liar is just a “quirk”.
Makes me think a bit about seemingly the view over in the US, where they are having the current elections. And, without exaggerating too much: One side has a pedophole running, that promises he will give the health insurance industry a legal, extrajudicial death panel to decide if they want to let your children live or not. Along with give life sentences for miscarriages. And the other side is basically Jebus himself, wants to focus on infrastructure. Promises to do all the 90+ % popular public opinion cases. Stop corruption and yadda yadda. And you STILL have people go “Hm...” and treat it like it’s 50-50. Including mothers that have had dozens of miscarriages, with a sick kid on life support. Seriously. I have a hard time going more over the top just to emphasize how absurd shit has gotten.
Which again reminds me a bit of things like ex: US news media going all “The crazed thug, suspected terrorist is still on the lo- wait, breaking update... oh, nvm everyone. He’s white. It’s just the 295′th lone, crazed gunman in a row. Nothing to see here. Mental health, amirite?” It’s just: Ignore half the debate, along with refuse to take action towards it. Totes a winning plan.
It just feels like this somehow manages to just be way past the Dunning Kruger effect x3
Heck, a lot of it seems to be purposeful, willing ignorance.
Like covering up a gangrenous wound, waving it off if anyone addresses concern that it might be infected. As if ignoring it means it doesn’t exist. Like, as long as no-one gives you a diagnosis, it can’t harm you?
