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

and they actively speak out AGAINST it!! many of them encourage things that purity culture discourages such as wearing whatever you want and not being ashamed of your sexual desires.

and the fact of the matter is that antis are literally just some people on the internet. "antis" don't have any kind of influence. you can literally just block them if you don't like them. you can't "block" the christian/catholic church's influence on your life

I'm not trying to downplay the seriousness of christian/catholic misogyny or abuse, but you're acting like a group of people making unfounded pedophilia accusations while often attempting to dox or incite their targets to suicide isn't a real problem.

i'm not saying it's not a problem but it's a problem with individual people, certainly not a problem with "antis" as a whole. and it's NOT comparable to the trauma that the catholic/christian church inflicts on so many of its members

I've never claimed the trauma is comparable to that inflicted by the church; the claim is that the *logic underpinning the claims antis make* is frequently the same as that used in purity culture. that distinction matters!
