Here’s my views on fiction and shipping: sometimes yeah, certain ships are things I fantasize about that I do want in real life, like friends to lovers, having a partner who is nurturing, having a partner who always checks on you during sex to make sure they’re not hurting you or if you want to withdraw from it, having a partner that doesn’t judge you for your kinks, being a dominant or submissive (I’m a switch) for any character I like, I could go on. Other times however, when I ship things like enemies to lovers, shipping a hero with a villain (like a Batman and Catwoman dynamic), a ship involving one of the characters in the ship being a psychopath, Yanderes, super aloof characters in a ship, it’s because I like it more in fiction, because if I tried to translate that into reality, it would be an absolute nightmare. So when I do consume fanfics, there’s sometimes truths in my tastes, but not always. I hope this makes sense, because I’m not too sure on how I explained this! 😅
Indeed!
and yet for some reason fancops assume that everyone wants what they enjoy in fiction to happen in real life.
I wonder what that means for all of the fancops who love cannibals, yandere, guro, etc? 🤔
