I Think A Lot Of The Time People Mistake Discussion For Advocacy

Like I can depict war without being pro-war (I’m generally very anti-war except for revolution).  I can make art about something without being in favor of it.  I can be interested in something without being in favor of it.

I also think people often think media causes society to be a certain way, when I think it’s more usual that media is produced because society is already a certain way and a fucked up society is just expressing what’s already there.

People also seem to think that fetishes are an advocation rather than a response.  You know?  Like a lot of my fetishes are me working through and dealing with misogyny and stuff surrounding gender I’ve dealt with my whole life and around class and mental illness and just… shit.

And I’m not advocating the way the world has treated me, I’m processing it.
