Bad arguments used against Prostatia, a bad group

cw: pedophilia, child sexual abuse, transphobia I’m seeing bad arguments used against Prostatia. Prostatia is morally compromised. At best they have well-meaning former child sexual abusers in their close orbit, at worst they are knowingly providing cover to such people with no regard for actually reducing harm.

I’ve posted in the past about getting my watchlist to zero. It was growing with no signs of slowing. There are only 3 ways a watchlist will change: A movie is added to the watchlist A movie is watched and removed from the watchlist A movie is deleted from the watchlist without watching it By keeping this in mind, I cut my watchlist in half. Even better, I was choosy with what I watched.
