the post about ‘toxic relationships in fiction =/= proshipping’ infuriated me because it’s so elitist and weird to assume the intentions of fan creators to be uniquely sordid whereas published authors get to write about anything. there are decades worth of scholarship for horror fiction alone pointing out its tendencies to sexually titillate as well as frighten. all I would like as a fan is to be approached with the same level of maturity and good faith as any professionally published artist, and that includes the sexual element of my art.
Yup.
Fancops love to assume they know other people’s motives.
