Discussion: Down with Molestia (Accusations)

Here’s how I think DM should ideally treat supporters of “Ask Princess Molestia”:

“You should stop supporting APM because it normalizes rape.”

Instead, what I see is this:

“If you support APM, you support rape culture.”

The difference between the two is that the first allows people who support APM to reconsider, without accusing them of supporting something that they probably don’t. Some people might like APM but not realize that it might support rape culture.

If this is supposed to be about awareness, the first one does a much better job without inciting accusations.
