as someone who’s been …in trouble… for things I have written, let me share my thoughts.

from my end, I treated “my” words as expressions and, while derived from, they were not rooted to reality.
(aka not everything said is how I “feel”) it seemed to be an idea to me at the time to sort of explore these ideas so more were naturally made and delved deeper into $sensitive_subject, where once folks happened to read them (I had accidentally left some on a printer at end of a work day - doh)

having said all that, parents do things out of love and protection so their response isn’t mean or cold. it’s sort of expected with love in the mix.

i never really found a audience for my expressions of that era but that’s not necessary for just expressing yourself without many repercussions. I’d say find your zone and poke at it. I’m on the side of art that says it’s all ok. when we ban things we don’t like well it’s obviously a slope of slippery configuration.
