( No Title )
🔹 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.
Edit to add: if you’re portraying abuse as love obviously that’s not healthy and slightly reflective of your character, and for God’s sake TAG YOUR SHIT, but otherwise agree.
NO. No, that’s not how this works. People can fantasize and write fantasies about fucked up shit and it’s *perfectly healthy.* Full stop. It’s not reflective of your character at all, it’s not inherently unhealthy. STOP POLICING PEOPLE. You are the type of person the original post is about!!!
Maybe if you are having fantasies about rape, incest and other forms of abuse then there is something wrong
Maybe if you judge someone for their fantasies instead of for their actuions, there is something wrong with you.
