( No Title )
You don’t have to apologize, or perform authorial disgust, for dark, violent, sexual, cruel or problematic topics in the fiction you create.
Fiction does not exist to teach an audience a moral lesson. You as an author are not required to be your audience’s moral teacher.
You can have bad things happen– you can have a protagonist who is bad– without having to explain to your audience that they are bad.
#as Oscar Wilde says there is no such thing as a moral or immoral story#only well written and poorly written ones#Im probably paraphrasing a tad considering I don’t have a copy of Dorian gray for myself but that’s the gist
