Me: Look at my lil werewolf OC playing around naked 🥺 Antis: omg is this PEDO???
I might still be a little bitter. Don't sexualize my OCs to have some stupid moral crusade. Low-key wonder if they'd call out someone for having a peeing cherub fountain.
of course they wouldn't, they can't go up to their neighbor and harass them over their fountain, the cops would get called on them. it's vastly easier to harass internet personalities, because there you have backup from all your little anti friends and no one can call the cops on you.
antis don't get mad at movies or shows with the themes they hate in them--they only get mad at the fans. it's a matter of who they can easily attack and get away with doing so.
and, ofc, as you well know, nudity is sexualized to hell and back in every culture you can find antis residing in. but a cherub statue made by some famous person or some corporation is hard to attack, versus the guy posting his naked werewolf oc online. they're insanely predictable sometimes :/ i'm really sorry that happened to you!!
@Staren It's basically a person who applies a conservative moralistic lens to fiction, usually under the guise of social justice.
An example being with the author John Green. He has a part in his book where his teenage characters end up falling in love and having sex with each other. Antis got extremely upset and accused him of being a pedophile.
In this context, they're making assumptions that since my characters are nude, it must be sexual. So they use that to make the assumption that I'm a "pedo".
100% on your side, my friend. I find it distinctly bizarre that some people are so bodyphobic that any representation of people of any age or body type naked freaks them out. Their brains must see the world in such disturbing terms.
@Richboy50 I'll never judge someone for what they like in fiction but someone publicly applying sexual labels to my non-sexual characters is honestly really disturbing to me. My characters are, on some level, an extension of myself so it feels like a violation of sorts. If that makes sense.
So when people sexualize my werewolf character, a character that is more or less based on my desire as a kid to go out and explore nature, it feels like a massive violation. Especially when it's used as a tool to attack me.
