Mar. 15th, 2021 05:19 amI mostly argue against terrible anti arguments, because those are the ones I tend to see. If I was going to argue against coherent anti arguments, I’d use a sort of opposite to the slippery slope argument.
People used to argue that Mortal Kombat would train your brain to kill people. Now they don’t argue that. It wasn’t “disproven.” It simply fell out of fashion. I’m fine with that, since Mortal Kombat didn’t train my brain to kill people.
People argue that Gary Coleman/Macaulay Culkin underage RPF will train your brain to hurt people. I don’t have proof this is true or false. But there’s no logical reason it would have a different effect on your brain than Mortal Kombat. Either they both train your brain, or neither of them do.
Slippery slope would be that antis will want to ban Mortal Kombat. But they won’t. That argument is done with. I could easily get away with saying “fuck you, got mine!” and enjoy MK in peace. But I’m not comfortable with pretending I’m somehow morally superior to people whose interests are more cringe than mine. That’s what I mean by the opposite of slippery slope. I want to climb back up the slope to where everyone gets treated as decently as I do.

Nov. 21st, 2020 07:43 amI'm deliberately NOT aiming this at the major pro-ship accounts, because I don't think I can change their minds.
They generally agree the art that was going around of one person's OC strangling another person's OC was a personal threat against another user, and therefore not acceptable. They also generally agree that RPF is acceptable because the famous person doesn't have to see it.
What if the famous person IS a user? Comics writer Ralph Hayes Jr. was (is?) an anti in the My Little Pony fandom. There was fic directly mocking him. I think Hayes should have had room to say "don't mock me in your fic." Or if Hayes doesn't have that room, then neither does the pro-shipper whose OC got strangled. I don't think people knowing your name gives you less rights than people not knowing your name.
