Backing away from Tumblr has its upsides!

[anghraine]

Namely, the main upside is that I've forbidden myself from reblogging these kinds of nakedly manipulative and desperate attempts to turn anti-kink fandom morality policing into progressive praxis:



I've seen some people pushing back against the idea that the anti-kink fandom morality police's vapors over anything but the most vanilla sexuality could possibly be puritanical, and it's always this kind of tortured, manipulative argument that seems incredibly transparent but somehow ends up getting uncritically reblogged. This particular one is so wrong from every angle that I wouldn't even know where to start. But since I'm not letting myself get into those kinds of arguments on Tumblr, I don't have to start. #blessed

Oh god I clicked through it's all so BAD.

Here's to not getting into pointless online arguments. But GOD.

I can't even really understand what the chain of logic is there.

I had to share the pain!!

On one level, I'm like ... lol, wild that Tumblr user "pure" would utterly fail to comprehend the criticisms of purity culture wrt kink and fandom, or bother researching the actual origins of puritanism, or try to figure out how the term is even used colloquially, and would instead awkwardly try to link critics with Elon Musk and nun fetishizing to present neo-Victorian vapors over sexuality as ideologically, well, pure. On another, wtf.

Yeah, the weird lack of connections between the different points was very striking!
