cleromancy asked: plus like, what you personally can handle isn't what every other marginalized psn can handle too, like certain things may hit one person harder? it's not like all marginalized people have one mind and one agreement on what they can get enjoyment out of and what hurts too much, it varies from person to person.

Yes, this is a great point! Even if we’re talking about the same axis of oppression. Homestuck, for example, is rife with ableism of all sorts. As someone with physical and mental illnesses I can still read it. OthersĀ  can’t. None of us are wrong here.

People also engage with that bigotry in different ways, and shouldn’t be derided for it. If I want to reconceptualise a text to make it more palatable to me, or write fanfic that deals with the subjects more respectfully, or rant about it vehemently, or refuse to touch it at all - that’s my choice and my business. (…Can there be a general I?)
