imagine seeing catholic/christian women talking about how the church shamed them for their bodies and told them they're at fault for men's sexual desires and just generally fucked up their view of sex (bc of purity culture) and thinking that's the same thing as "antis" online

imagine thinking that a group of people instilling that same terror of normal sexual fantasies into literal teenagers to the point where some now think they're pedophiles for being attracted to people their own age isn't puritan logic

i don't know if you've ever met an actual "anti" in your life but as someone who makes a point to only interact with "antis" i can assure you that they aren't the evil sex hating puritans you think they are. fun fact many "antis" are victims of ACTUAL evangelical purity culture

as, indeed, are many of their targets. the purity culture mindset is hard to shake - lots of otherwise sensible people who don't understand how human sexuality works take the kind of puritanism they were raised with and redirect it in other arenas.

the problem with antis is that none, literally NONE of their arguments are supported by our actual understanding of how psychology and human sexuality function. they've just gone 'oh I don't like this, it's gross and must therefore be bad' and taken that to mean facts don't apply
