Light skin was a beauty standard in East Asia long before they ever met Europeans. Having a tan meant you were a peasant who did outdoor labor. I love how leftists and critical race theorist retcon this into worshipping of White people.

I really dislike this mentality some have toward fiction like it's something you're supposed to "grow up" from once you're past a certain age. I reject that premise entirely. You're never too old for escapism or well-written stories that have something to say about humanity.

Every time the pendulum in our culture swings one way or another, the moralizing puritans just change hats and use different buzzwords to invoke pearl-clutching over fiction and fantasy. There is no future where these things cease to exist. They will always exist, and they will always be scapegoats for whatever is ailing society today. Ban these things, they'll go underground. People will find a way. It shouldn't have to get to that point. We should just accept that everyone has weird hobbies and interests, and so long as they express those hobbies in a healthy way, what harm does it cause? The rules of the internet used to be live and let live, because everyone understood that what they had was precious and it was entirely possible to lose it, so they would look out for each other by refraining from destroying each other. But we let these people, who grandstand on their wooden soapbox, who stand tall for the camera and pretend they're modern day mystics and wisemen. People who were platformed strictly due to their resistance of changing the status quo, for defending liberty and freedom. I have watched these people, upon the destruction of their political enemies, immediately abandon the aforementioned and proceed to draw knives and bury them into the backs of the very group they aligned themselves with in the first place, in the name of 'the children', or whatever folk monster of the era is decided upon. I assure you, the ones asking for the government to do this, who celebrate censorship, have no idea what they ask for. They react and behave with a mercenary cadence to their attitude- regarding the destruction of the safeguards to their own hobbies as an inconsequential circumstance rather than a genuine threat to not only their enjoyment of media, but everyone else's enjoyment; solely for the purpose of appearing morally just. Fictional weirdness is not the same thing as real-world harm, and people who cannot tell the difference should not be handed institutional power, let alone, pretending to be morally just. And what about the gander of supporters that stand beside the big goose of government overreach? Because we all know that Government overreach rarely arrives alone. It comes waddling in with a whole flock of people honking about safety, decency, and the children. Children who are being terrorized by their elders and peers: morally, physically, emotionally, sexually, mentally- until they no longer care about the world around them. They are being turned into cattle by the very crowd that proclaim that their safety is paramount. Only insofar that it garners them approval by the habitus at large, before being discarded like chaff in the field; spent, redundant, useless. Until the next moral crusade. These people are the ones who say one or a multitude of the following phrases, not out of a sense of pragmatism, but deflection from their own moral failings: “I’m normally against censorship, but this is different.” “Free speech is important, but there have to be limits.” “Nobody is banning anything, we’re just making sure it can’t hurt people.” “If you have nothing to hide, this shouldn’t bother you.” “This isn’t censorship, it’s accountability.” “This isn’t government overreach, it’s protecting vulnerable people.” “I don’t trust the government either, but someone has to step in.” “I hate giving them this power, but what choice do we have?” “This is only targeting the bad stuff.” “Normal people won’t be affected.” “This is just common sense regulation.” “We can worry about slippery slopes later.” “Rights come with responsibilities.” “Freedom doesn’t mean freedom from consequences.” “No one needs that kind of content anyway.” “It’s not art, it’s harmful material.” “Think of the children.” “This is how we prevent radicalization.” “This is how we stop normalization.” “It’s just fiction” when defending their stuff, “media affects people” when attacking yours. They claim liberty when they are outsiders. They demand control when they smell power. They defend expression when their enemies hold the leash. They celebrate restriction once their own hand is on the collar. Every censorship regime begins with a target everyone is trained to hate. It establishes precedent. They start with freaks, perverts, weirdos, the politically inconvenient, the embarrassing hobbyists, the cringe fandoms, the ugly games, the taboo art. Easy prey with no support system. No Superman to save them from the wolves in society who want to tear them apart. They say normal people will not be affected. They say only the bad material is being targeted. They say anyone worried about the precedent must have something to hide. Then the precedent exists. What comes next, I wonder? Music. Literature. Fashion. Subculture. Speech. Over and over again, the comb of government policy rakes over society, and tries to root out the 'problem'. But they have to re-define what the 'problem' is, to justify exercising their control over you. Control you're giving them right now. This is a matter of principle, not preference. If you cannot discern the importance as to why the freedom of personal expression exists, then you are failing your duty as a citizen of your society. Your civic duty is to protect each other from the government, who you elect to work for you, not the other way around. But I think I'm just rambling at this point. Tired, annoyed, fed up with my peers and juniors who still don't see the noose being tied around their necks. I'll be long gone when people finally get it. Then it'll be too late. If that comes to pass, then we deserve to live forever under the shadow of oppression, a cage we built for ourselves, built with gold and baubles and all manner of distractions for ourselves. We deserve that fate, if we don't fight.
