Here are some interesting takes on how Puritanism has harmed lgbtq+ spaces online and the internet in general.

I don't really like this article. It falls into the trap of conflating the vocal minority of people who complain about things as silly as fan pairings with slight age differences and heights with people who don't like pedophilia being romanticised and sexualised. It strawmans anyone who may disagree with the article as not being able to seperate fiction from reality. The truth is its far more nuanced and we know from things like propaganda and the jaws effect that how real life topics are portrayed in fiction affects real peoples opinions on them. It also conflates the vague boogey man of 'antis' with all sex negative people which are different issues. The article seems very careful to refuse to outright mention the actual things "antis" typically take issue with. Which is nsfw art and writing of child characters specifically designed to titilate the consumer rather than make any statement of condemnation.

Basically the article seems more like a very biased hit piece than anything trying to open up a real discussion.
