I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking. I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

Office Rep: Hello! this is the office for congressman Billy Bob. How May I help you?

Me: Hey my name is (Gov. name) from (residing city). I had some concerns.

Office Rep: Sure thing I can pass on a message!

Me: Are you familiar with this ongoing push for these online safety laws? 

Office Rep: Hmm...Is there a particular bill or law that it involves?

Me: A few actually! 

Office Rep: Go ahead!Me: the KIDS Act, Kids online safety act (KOSA), the Screen Act, Sammy's Law, and the App Store Accountability Act

Office Rep: Got it!

Me: I strongly oppose these laws and I urge Billy Bob to vote no when these bills are up for vote. They do nothing to actually protect children and are just a cover to suppress free speech. 

Also There's been a bipartisan push to end section 230. I think Section 230 should be protected since it's important for online free speech. I'm not a fan of this speed running of a surveillance state happening
right now. Have you noticed that?

Office Rep: (Chuckles) Okay, I have it all written down and I'll make sure Billy Bob gets the message. Thank you for calling!

Me: Thank you for listening.

im so fucking sick of the 'it's just fiction'. context matters. like a lot. i don't agree with censorship. i agree that what someone writes or draws may not be indicative of what they advocate for. but read the fucking room man. there's obviously a difference between someone writing

a story with heavy themes vs creating a community that becomes an echochamber that's all inclusive to some of the most predatory fantasies. ppl dont just suddenly become offenders. n i would never want to risk sharing space with ppl like that. it's honestly disgusting bc a literal child rapist
