>>38585826That's the other thing I hate about all this -- streamers have the absolute right to address things that bother them, and no one should have to tolerate things that make them uncomfortable, fundamentally they shouldn't have to see things they don't want to see! But what I hate it that certain people always take ANY boundary clarification, no matter how simple and gentle, to be an opportunity to attack people who create and consume content they don't like. Mysta's was particularly bad, but when Luca clarified his boundaries ages ago it happened with him as well. Men are given so much more leeway with this sort of thing; god forbid a woman (or a gay, for that matter) enjoy shippy/romantic/nsfw content featuring some streamer, that's /perverse/. (As well as those people, typically young and tiktok-addled, who seem to think anything remotely nsfw is toxic and dangerous... I don't know what you do about those types of people except hope they get well soon somehow.) It just sucks that the consequence of streamers rightfully enforcing their boundaries will inevitably be people getting attacked for creating the content that was fine last week. I never want to make anyone uncomfortable, personally... it feels like I've done something wrong for engaging with the content I was presented with, you know? I spent actual hours of my day writing and editing something as a labor of love-- not even because I wanted them to see it (dear god I do not want any livers to find my AO3) -- but just because I was inspired by them. And to be told that in doing so, I have inadvertently hurt them... shit. I feel like I'm not welcome to enjoy them anymore -- even if he did say "people can create what they want", it's hard to take that at face value after you've spent ten minutes talking about how disgusted and uncomfortable their creations made you.
