things-antis-say:

what the fuck are you talking about? where did “children cannot consent” even come from? (and if you’re talking about people writing underage shit as if they need consent from drawings, i’m not even going to pretend that’s a real argument)

the only one comparing kinky people to predators is you, anon

anyway, you do consent to reading fucked up fanfic by continuing to read it. close the book or press the back button on the tab. continuing of your own volition is the consent

here’s a couple of reasons why someone might post darkfic online instead of keeping it to themselves:

  1. it’s a vent chapter — the work as a whole is not that dark, but the author was in a bad place when they wrote one of the chapters
  2. some people who are not writers/artists read to cope
  3. some people read or look at art to get off
  4. it’s not hurting anyone, so i can do whatever the fuck i want. if you don’t like it, mind your own goddamn business
