Howdy~ I'm the newest mod for r/Mobpsycho100, and I would like to help neaten-up the links on the site. I've already contacted EyedElator, and asked them if there are any other members of UraNucleus Scans besides the two of you. I've reached out to several others as well. You will be given credit unless you request otherwise, and if you ever change your mind about having a link to your work, then please let us know and we'll blot it out! I hope the storms are gentle enough for your liking.
Thanks babe
@blazemorioz thanks!!! the atmosphere here is not exactly as beautiful as the fic itself is, but i think the mood in general is appropriate!
I reread one of my favorite snk fics (by @reedroad ) again after a few years and i Still love it!!
IMO the boundary between critique, purity culture, and censorship is this:
it is responsible, and the mark of a good audience, to critique problematic elements in the media we consume. For example, I love gothic lit - but a lot of it is incredibly sexist and racist. I can acknowledge that these elements are a problem and objectionable while still enjoying the piece for a multitude of other reasons. I can also say to myself “if I ever want to write my own gothic lit, here are some elements I should avoid.” Or, if I do want to tackle the issues of racism and sexism in my future gothic lit, then I can say “I will avoid writing in a way which implicitly or explicitly condones racism or sexism, while still emulating the praiseworthy elements of gothic lit.”
In essence, the fundamentals of intersectional media critique is this: “these elements of [x media] are problematic and we should rethink them in future media, both as audiences and as creators.” By rethinking these elements, I don’t mean utterly doing away with them, but rethinking how we approach them and how we read them.
We enter purity culture when our statement moves from “these elements of [x media] are problematic and we should rethink them in future media, both as audiences and as creators,” and becomes “these elements of [x media] are problematic and therefore anyone who consumes or creates [x media] is condoning everything about [x media].” The implication here is that, if one wants to be a good person, one should avoid [x media], because to do otherwise is to either implicitly or explicitly condone everything in [x media]. This type of attitude towards media is very common in conservative religious circles.
It moves fully into censorship when the statement moves from “these elements of [x media] are problematic and therefore anyone who consumes or creates [x media] is condoning everything about [x media]” and becomes “these elements of [x media] are problematic and therefore nobody can consume or create [x media] for any reason.” Those who break this rule are seen as evil and shunned. This type of attitude toward media is very common in fundamentalist circles.
A culture of censorship is the natural outcome of purity culture, because purity culture by its very nature seeks purity until even the whisper of objectionable content, in any context, is suppressed.
I would wager a guess that many people who are against anti culture are familiar with either these toxic conservative or fundamentalist attitudes towards media, and we are alarmed by their striking similarity with antis’ attitudes towards media. It is most certainly why I am against anti culture.

Heh, you could say that. (Russian here). Anti rhetoric is nearly indistinguishable from that of conservative Russian politicians/so-called Orthodox Christian activists, except the latter obviously have incomparably more power. “Moral purity” and “protecting children from bad content” are the Big Priorities (what constitutes ‘bad content’ is up to the prejudices and ignorance of an individual in power), and the world of censorship where all the dissidents are eradicated is the perfect utopia. Antis would do fine in current Russian political climate. Maybe they should all collectively move here… except I don’t think I’m ever going to be able to handle this much Purity. So no, I take it back, let them stay away.
Anyway, I really hope none of the antis ever go into politics.
