Moralists and censors who want to shut down people who create taboo fiction and artwork will claim their opponents believe that “Fiction doesn’t affect reality”.

Nobody (generalization) actually believes “fiction doesn’t affect reality.”

⭐ We believe that fiction doesn’t reprogram someone’s morals.

⭐ We believe fiction doesn’t take away your free will.

⭐ We believe that blaming the actions of abusers on fiction absolves abusers of their guilt.

⭐ We believe that people are responsible for their behavior no matter what fiction they’ve read.

⭐ We believe that enjoying fiction about evil things doesn’t cause someone to do evil in real life.
