( No Title )
Darkfic writers “condone” writing about underage sex and incest in the same way that darkfic writers “condone” writing about murder, abuse and torture.
All fictional crimes are equally fictional.
I, a fellow writer, personally have to disagree. Killing off or harming characters is fine because they aren’t real and, as a writer you can absolutely fix it whenever you want. Underage sex and incest, as well as other sexual crimes, are sometimes written with the intent of sexual gratification of the writer or reader. Regardless of condoning those things, they are not equal in their impact the way they are in real life. It is ok to touch on those topics, but describing them in detail is risky business. And that’s coming from someone who writes about eldritch horror and mentall illness frequently.
Killing off or harming characters is also sometimes written with the intent of gratification of the writer and reader.
There is no difference.
Fiction is fiction.
Sexual gratification is no more harmful than any other emotional gratification.
