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!

church logic: women are responsible if men look at them sexually. sexlessness is purity. if you have a single sexual thought before marriage you are gross and disgusting "anti" logic: romanticized rape, adult x minor, incest, etc. in fiction is bad hm i don't think i see it

the unifying theme is: your sexuality can only be expressed in orthodox ways. if you do sexuality wrong according to our morality, it will provoke bad behaviour towards yourself or others, and when that happens it will be your fault for not listening.

the other unifying theme is: sexual fantasies are Bad and morally the same as taking sexual action. if your fantasies are Bad then you are Bad.

it should kind of be a tip-off that many of the most common talking points cited by antis as to why certain fics should be banned are identical to the talking points circulated by the religious right as to why certain books should be banned in schools and libraries

I have also seen multiple antis argue, unironically and in full seriousness, that published works which contain "objectionable" content should also be banned from schools and libraries. the venn diagram of argumentative overlap is at times perilously close to being a circle.
