I've noticed this happen on tumblr over time. Its kinda scary and sad, especially as lgbtq have kinda indirectly been silenced by the puritan crowd. People sometimes lose their shit at any mention of sex.

ahaha yeah it's unfortunate that people on twitter and tumblr and tiktok just lose their minds when it comes to kink in media. really, get me out of here. Murder violence and gore in stories is perfectly healthy and people won't immediately go and kill people but if you show a couple with an age gap its all of a sudden a moral imperative to stop any depiction immediately.

i do feel like the joker sometimes
