I cannot stress how much I hope Johnny Depp and all his supporters die a painful and humiliating death 🙏

I'm trying very hard not to get parasocial about Amber Heard because I think it's a bad practice with any celebrity (if anything, D*pp stans have shown us parasocial relationships at their very worst). However, I can't help but feel emotional watching that video of her accepting flowers from her supporters. (Link here: https://twitter(dot)com/jxxxsq/status/1530577392711892995) She's been through so much these past few years and she looked so relieved and touched to see that people DO support her. I hope she gets the justice she deserves, and I sincerely appreciate this blog's presence for making me feel sane about the case.

God, I know. I'm with you. It's not parasocial of us to be relieved or happy to see a woman who has been through so much see that she is still loved by some. I'm so glad she got those flowers and that she knows she's not alone.

I wonder what microwave is looking at, oh wait the cutie reading this!

Contemplating the universe. Or maybe a fuzz on her toe.

nah, pornography is inherently bad and harmful, I know you think your logic has no flaws but (and let's keep in mind that you are doing this rant for the solely purpose of justifying sexual books) it's the same logic paedophiles use when justifying fictional loli anime or similar stuff, and I mean the SAME "a book does not have real people" "a teenager is still using their imagination". I haven't spent my teenage years hating on anime watchers to not recognize their stupid logic when I see it.

I’m gonna keep going on the porn v real sex post btw cause I think it very neatly ties into what’s happening with book bans.

Parents of children know their kids are being exposed to sex at exceptionally young ages.

But parents of children also don’t or cannot admit that the way their kids are mainly being exposed is through items in the home: iPhones and iPads, streaming services, even quite explicit music on the radio or Spotify.

No parent wants to have to change something fundamental about their home has been running for years, like replacing smartphones with flip phones or putting time limits on non-homework computer use.

So they turn to the schools and the public libraries as places where teenagers are getting “porn” by banning books like A Court of Thorn and Roses.

But here’s the thing - a book does not have real people being really degraded. A teenager reading a “spicy” novel is still using their imagination even while consuming a book with sex in it. No one was harmed in the making of that book. And unless that teenager is literally finding fairies or whatever to have sex with (lmao), then reading that book at 15 is probably not going to have the same effect on the brain that we’ve been seeing happen to young brains and violent porn consumption.

And I wish it were appropriate to somehow bring this up at a book banning administration meeting without sounding like a crazy person.

Your daughter probably isn’t gonna be ruined by reading Philip Gregory romance novels from the public library. But there’s a very real chance your son might start choking out his first girlfriend during sex from watching violent porn on the smartphone you bought him.
