🔹 Someone else’s fiction cannot cause you physical harm.

🔹If someone else’s fiction is causing you emotional or psychological harm, or distress, you can put it down and not read/watch it.

🔹Your emotional well-being is not the responsibility of fiction writers.

🔹Someone else’s fiction is not about your personal trauma.

🔹When reading or watching fiction, you always have the power. You can always stop. You are never reading fiction without your own consent.

🔹Fiction writers are not responsible for other people’s mental health.

🔹The content of a piece of fiction does not reflect on the morality of its author.

🔹Just because someone writes about bad things happening, doesn’t mean they want those things to happen.

🔹Don’t like? Don’t read.

#sometimes the content of a work Does reflect the author’s opinions#but unless theyre openly stating it you cant know for sure#nor will you be able to change their mind#(esp thru bullying tactics)#so it really is for your own sanity that if you read something and u dont like it#just dont engage with it#plus do u really wanna bully someone who might be using fiction to process their own traumas#like dont be that guy
