whenever u point out something is a deeply puritan belief online you get hundreds of people going like "im not a prude i just believe in Common Sense, Everyone thinks this is Weird and needs to be Hidden from the Public" with absolutely zero self reflection

I just kind of don't care what "everyone" thinks. They all can go take a hike

Hot take: sex is good, actually, and treating it like it's some gross secret thing that must be hidden away for the sake of "the children" is both a morally fraught stance, and actively makes CSA easier to commit because we're depriving kids of the language and context needed to refuse and report.

“what does it make me a PRUDE just for pointing out that seggs is fundamentally a sin and should be punished in the narrative????”

you can't even argue against this anymore they'll just call you a degenerate gooner and think they've won the internet

Anytime anyone says 'I'm not a _______ BUT....' they're actually admitting that "I am a ________ but I don't want to be labelled a _______ for my obviously _______ views."

the confidence in which porn ban activists will say things like “no one actually like anal sex* in reality” is astounding *or any other widely practiced act that is not heterosexual vaginal penetration

"Who's a prude? I just think women should hide themselves from the world at all times lest their wicked charms drive good men to sin!"

LITERALLY WHAT IVE BEEN DEALING WITH ALL FUCKING DAY

well you see, the sinful act doesn't need to be banned, per se we just need to make sure that every single possible safety check is put into place, as well as making everyone involved fill out lots of forms with all their personal information, and be on a registry, and be unable to make money

MY favorite is how deeply insistent people are that media has inherent moral value and if you consume any media that's "bad" you are yourself "bad". Definitely not a tenet of conservatism and central to censorship 🙄
