“AKA able to tell the difference between fiction and reality” fiction impacts reality all the time. everything that you’re able to lay your eyes on affects reality, because it affects your thoughts, and your thoughts affect your actions. your actions are a part of reality. this whole loop is how things like proshipping art and media can make it easier for a child to be exploited or abused. does that genuinely sound farfetched to you?
Man, just ‘cause you apparently act on every single impulsive thought you have doesn’t mean everyone does. Yes, fiction can affect reality, but my moral code isn’t so flimsy that a horror movie would make me murder, or something like Game of Thrones would make me fuck a relative. I’m a reasonable human being with control over my actions who knows better than to emulate something I see in fiction ¯_(ツ)_/¯
As for the exploiting children nonsense, literally anything can be used to exploit or groom a child. Literally anything. I was groomed with my love of art and animals as a child, but you don’t see me advocating for the banning of puppies and comic books, so get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.
