Well, the thing is, if you're truly committed to an individual's right to choose, then you have to accept what qe says qe wants, even if you personally think it's horrifying. If you start going 'Well, qe's only saying that because of peer pressure' or 'Qe couldn't possibly want that, that's horrific', then you're making the decision for qem.
Now, obviously there's a scale, and if these kids are only doing it because a madman with a gun has their fathers hostage, then sure, go ahead and beat up the madman and then see whether they still want to do it. But the line isn't clear.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
