just came back to mention that if some of you take that post as me or anyone defending other actions ezra has done—then you are simply choosing not to read. a large majority of people (including myself) have stated they’re not trying to defend ezra or his other past actions. i don’t know ezra and i dont know his other questionable actions with other people on here. but you know what i do know? that those claims about his previous actions to other people DO have substance to them because they’re actions that have affected REAL people so i am not here to discredit them. but what i AM here to discredit are the abilities to make heavy allegations with your full chest WITHOUT knowing if this behavior has actually hurt a real person. that’s the difference. i’m begging you all to understand the weight of the word pedophile, the weight of being a csa and csem victim, and the weight of throwing those words around and the impact it has on victims when you do so in an uneducated, insensitive, and ignorant manner.

i’m beginning to think most of you don’t give two shits about csa and csem victims or the issue of pedophilia as a whole in a manner that actually can make a difference. i’m beginning to think you all enjoy simply being right about your distaste for one singular person and being able to slap on the worst allegation possible to make it as irrefutable as possible without a care in the world what kind of sensitive issues you’re putting all over EVERYONE’S dash and inbox. i would prefer if you simply just say upfront that you don’t care what victims have to say, and you don’t care about their stories, and that you’re firm on your beliefs without their insight. that would be a better and more upfront stance than half of the things you are all subposting. it is once again become beyond normal to ignore the voices of victims and i hope you all realize what that says about you.

this issue is persistently about watering down the seriousness of pedophilia, csa, and csem. it has nothing to do with his past and unrelated actions—those are a SEPARATE can of worms for you all to SEPARATELY asses. on the matter of shota content and the way it bears as no real evidence on pedophilia allegations, and the fact that half of you don’t actually know what pedophilia, csa and csem mean, that is the REAL issue and it’s very harmful and dangerous that you refuse to understand just exactly what you’re normalizing and allowing here.

you always love to downplay antiblackness its hilarious actually 😭 acting like one coconut, its educate and you’re against “witch hunts” when its your friends but when you fall out with them its “i don’t have time for racists” to save your own ass ☠️ goodbye

actually i think you, and others, are once again proving my point that you do not think critically about issues and lump them all in together as the same thing.

anti blackness and pedophilia and assault are all separate accusations and actions and deserve to be weighed separately. ezra can be anti black and racist while also NOT being a pedophile. the two things are not things that fundamentally go hand in hand. disproving one, or calling attention to the falsifying of allegations of one, does not and will not take away from the other. tying them together is very harmful to the credibility of BOTH issues. here, you are inherently saying that because he is anti black, he must also be a pedophile. this is largely damaging to BOTH sides of the coin.

what you are effectively telling people is that people who are racist can also be linked to pedophilia. or vice versa. people who are pedophiles can be linked to racism. these two are separate issues that deserve to be assessed on their own circumstances and their own collection of evidence and understanding.

you are hurting csa and csem victims by discrediting the points not just me, in case your personal feelings against me are what are making you doubt my credibility, but other csa and csem victims on this platform who are telling you—practically screaming at you—that you are hurting them by not only ignoring the important points they are trying to make regarding pedophilia, csa, and csem as a whole, but also equating the validity of their experiences by tying them to racism.

being racist does not prove you are a pedophile. being anti black does not prove you are a pedophile. if you don’t believe me, speak to a legal expert and come back to me. no one has taken away from his anti black allegations because no one has said anything that crosses that topic as a whole in general. the entire concern of all of these reblogs and the post i reblogged was to discuss dark content and the way it has no play on real life, and the allegations made regarding consumption of dark content specifically about pedophilia and csa and csem. that’s it. once again, you are all proving that you do no listen to victims of a certain experience if it does not align with your personal feelings—and in this case, your personal feelings have nothing to actually do with the topic at hand.

here, your topic of discussion is about anti blackness. great, a very important discussion that deserves its own forum of attention. but my discussion is about pedophilia and csa and csm. two VERY different discussions that are in no way interchangeable.

i urge you to put aside your personal grudges against people (like me) and actually look at the large number of victims under that reblog who have come forth and told you the extent of their trauma and the extent of harm this discourse and the way it’s playing out on dash is having on those other people. your refusal to acknowledge them and their feelings and their stories and discredit them in an attempt to latch onto your grudge against me is deeply alarming.

and for the record. i am not anti black. i do not have a history of being racially insensitive on an app. i do not have a history of creating a hate campaign against a person who is currently stomaching a mass genocide of people who look exactly like her. i do not have a history of pointing and mocking the personal relationship situation of a poc and first generation individual who’s situation is entirely based around her cultural values. i did not turn around and weaponize an individuals history of racial insensitivity because i was petty and wanted to get back at her. i turned around and used that as a point to bring to attention bc while i had defended her in the past, i never considered that i MYSELF would be a victim of her insensitivity. as a muslim hijabi women who has very close palestinian loved ones in her personal life, it rightfully irks me that many of you had never spoken up about the genocide but have actively taken the time to engage in discourse. that you actively took part in mocking the cultural and personal relationship situation of a person who is actively undergoing a wave of hate crimes increasing for people who look like her. that to me is very anti muslim. that to me does not scream of pro human rights like so many of you claim you are.

what it screams to me is that once you decide you hate an individual you have never met in person, you can decide who they fundamentally are in character based on things you hear, and use them as an excuse to allow cultural and religious insensitivity and invalidation of csa and csem victims.

i wonder what that says about you.

In light of this post, I think it’s time to discuss some very serious issues concerning dark content as well as what it can be a byproduct of.

Trigger Warnings: mentions of p*dophilia, EDs, SH, s*icide, mental illness. Read at your own risk and with an open mind.

TL;DR: Dark Content should not be cut up into more digestible pieces or used as morality fodder. People partake in DC for different reasons. Tag fiction appropriately, block and curate your own online experience. Stop using inflammatory verbiage to rally your attack against someone when there are real life consequences to the words that you use.

tw: mentions of pedophilia, sexual assault, rape, incest, self harm, eating disorders (dark content as a whole)

okay i have left this app but i do still hear through the grapevine about things that go on here from friends that i still talk to and. yeah. i highly suggest reading the original post, but i just had to weigh in on this topic because honestly as a csa victim myself, it’s increasingly difficult watching people make such heavy statements without ever understanding what it’s actually like being a victim/knowing an actual pedophile in real life.

grow on me like a dog loved fondly: prologue | kamo choso x reader

wc: 1.0k

summary: your regular to the flower shop is more than what he seems. 

contains: written with f!reader in mind but can be read as gn!, animal shelter employee choso x flower shop owner reader, implied that reader is shorter than choso, flowers, small talk.

a/n: the promised choso drabble! depending on how this is received, i intend for this to be the prologue to a longer choso fic i have in mind!

You have a regular on the weekends. 

Business in the flower shop tends to be slow during winter, with less occasions having the need for flowers and even less buds blooming during the season. 

But even with the expected decline in customers, Saturdays always guarantee one—

The bells attached to the store doors jingle, allowing in a gust of cool air that tickles your cheeks from where you’re crouched down. The peonies in your hands were delivered just yesterday, the ends of the stems needing a slight trim to keep them fresh for longer. 

You turn, standing up to face your visitor. A purple scarf is wrapped high around his neck, with white fleece running down the length of his arms—a sort of undershirt to the short-sleeved uniform worn atop it. The outfit is familiar enough, but what truly distinguishes him are the two spiky pigtails on the sides of his head. 

There are a few things you’ve managed to pick up from four-line exchanges with your regular (six if you’re lucky): 1) he works at the animal shelter a few streets away, 2) the flowers he buys are for the front desk, a weekly replacement he deems necessary to keep the place looking alive, and 3) who he is, his name—

—‘Choso’, if the tag on his uniform says anything. 

The tag that is now, also, just a hand’s reach away from you.
