🖋 It’s okay to write about dark and evil topics without explicitly condemning them in the text.
🖋 It’s okay to write with an unreliable narrator who views their own evil actions as good or admirable.
🖋 It is not your responsibility to make sure your audience knows that war, torture, abuse, incest, rape, child molestation and so on are bad.
🖋 Not all fiction is about telling a moral lesson to the reader.
🖋 You are not obligated to be your reader’s moral teacher.
I feel as though puritanism has become so incredibly pervasive in the writing world lately, hidden under the guise of social justice. I swear more people would wake up and see it if they realized just how many people use the word “problematic” as a flowery way to say “sinful.”
Just always remember to properly tag your work!!!
