Purity culture 

When a bunch of little kids don’t understand that if you don’t like something on the internet you can take measures to avoid it. But they never seem to get it and end up harassing people because of it.

This happens in fandoms when something even the slightest bit controversial is brought up they hop in with how pure and morally correct they are. They like to attack people who they believe to be morally incorrect.

Ex: a problematic ship, art with a character with a slightly different shade skin tone, art with characters that they believe is the incorrect weight, people who ship something that isn’t cannon, and indulging in anything they believe is morally wrong.

All of these kids for that there are people behind those screens. They love throwing the word pedophile any chance they get using little to no evidence. A phrase they love is “they said this *insert slightly racist joke* two years you shouldn’t like them” but they love to remove the fact if they apologized for it or it was clearly a joke. That’s another thing every single questionable JOKE will offend them.

Long story short don’t trust people who are in purity culture they will turn on instantly if they even think you have done something wrong.
“Purity culture kills creativity.”
“Purity culture is used to attack accounts that make ADULT content. Because they believe it is wrong even though it isn’t real.”
