ringo29 asked: I get how the blog could and does make people uncomfortable, but why can't people just avoid it?
Because the rape and misogynistic jokes in the brony fandom aren’t just kept on one blog. It’s not just one gross comic. Googling for Celestia brings up rape jokes. Youtube searching Celestia brings up Molestia videos. Brony imageboards and forums are full of sexist and disgusting image macros. You know the brony fan-animation thing, Button’s Adventures? The makers of that are big on this kind of humour too [warning, the video behind that link is shamefully juvenile rape humour]. Fans shout nasty jokes around at conventions, bring up this kind of content at panels, it’s everywhere. It’s disrespectful, it’s ignorant, and it’s everywhere.
this isn’t limited to celestia, either
literally the third, FIRST PAGE result for ‘fluttershy’ is a video of her being raped by the viewer in unmistakable horrible detail
i dont know about you but plenty of parents let their kids search youtube videos to keep themselves occupied, or the kids sneak on the computer on their own (kids are surprisingly smart, after all). and especially with the shitty economy parents do not have the ability to supervise their kids 100% of the time, and kids will often find ways to circumvent any parental locks since they typically aren’t very sophisticated
so what happens when an 8 year old girl searches for her favorite cartoon pony and clicks the third result? what happens when she sees a character she loves being sexually abused by someone she trusted for the sake of getting some brony’s rocks off?
it’s the first lesson that the world isn’t safe. that they aren’t safe. that men see women, no matter who they are or what they’re like, as objects to be used and abused. it’s a loss of innocence. and it’s something no little girl should have to see.
if you want to make rape porn about a sweet little pony from a cartoon for little girls, i think you’re disgusting, but i can’t really stop you. but maybe it should be corralled into little corners of the internet clearly marked ‘adult’ for you and others like you. not one of the top results of characters from a children’s show
yes, in an ideal world all children would be supervised by their parents while using the internet. but A. like i said, parents are not goddamn omniscient, B. some parents are abusive/just don’t care, C. a lot of parents are uneducated about the breadth of the internet’s horrors, D. the internet is more and more a part of everyday life, it is fucking everywhere, usually with multiple intuitive devices in your home capable of accessing it
so if you’ve never considered the possibility that a single mom could say “stay here honey, I need to run to the store to get milk and bread” and leave her 7 year old alone, and she grabs mommy’s ipad and goes to youtube because that’s where the cartoons live and searches for her favorite pony’s name, you’re fucking daft. stop shirking responsibility. you need to own this and acknowledge this is goddamn harmful
