I’m not trying to say “””problematic””” ships are of higher quality than vanilla ones because that’s inherently not correct. But, I’d say “””problematic””” ships have capacity to be more intriguing and even more realistic in some aspects (example: dysfunctional relationship between two deeply troubled characters). Because when you stick to vanilla, there’s a predefined codex of what characters are allowed to do and what not. Anything beside that strictly defines set of rules and morals is seen as unacceptable.Basic example, imagine character keeps on pushing other character’s boundaries because they think other getting used to something is normal. Is that healthy relationship behavior? Not really. But is it more realistic outcome when one is frustrated with other’s boundaries than to play therapists or tollerating certain behavior ad infinitum? Yup, seen countless irl examples like that. How about character having deep flaw they’re unable to overcome or it becomes domino effect for chains of tragedies that happen later on? Never moving on from loss or wallowing in own misery because character doesn’t think they deserve better – and having fate fuck then up even further.Ofc, vanilla can be fun to read, lighthearted. But I rarely see it possess depth. It rarely shows complexity of human nature, the ‘darker’ side. When antis say “””profic”‘” they mean fic that contains taboo subjects such as SA or hardcore abuse, but they’re missing the point. To me dark fics mean freedom of exploration of human’s psyche. I’m tossing characters together like barbie dolls and I don’t care if some barbie’s head falls off or barbie house catches on fire. If it means scenario and possibilities are more intriguing to explore
