Hey. I think now would be a good time to really ask this. I’ve been through a lot in my life. Ive been in a toxic relationship with someone who threatened to off themselves many time and who were insatiable when I was 14. Ever since then, I’ve been viewing “problematic” content. I don’t know how problematic content makes me feel, I don’t know if I’m allowed to enjoy it. I’m desensitized to it and enjoy it, but I feel like Im not allowed to, as I’m not really a “victim”, at least I don’t see myself as one. I’ve hurt many people because of them, and I still remember the vile stuff they did and the rabbit hole I fell down in, with people who enabled this. Am I allowed to enjoy “problematic” content and be into “problematic” things?
My friend, it sounds like you’re struggling and going through a lot. I hope that gets easier soon, and there’s healing in the future for you.
You are always allowed to enjoy problematic content.
Everyone is allowed to enjoy problematic content, without any limits other than what they place on themselves for their own comfort.
It is okay to enjoy problematic content.
You are allowed to enjoy problematic content for any reason
There is no bar or threshold that you have to pass.
Enjoying problematic content for any reason is morally neutral, it doesn’t make you a bad or good person.
I promise.
