Fun fact, being opposed to incest on the grounds of it causing genetic defects is eugenics.
This person is a clown who is trying to moralize to people while defending their own tastes that others would consider equally fucked up.

a proshipper is anyone who thinks people shouldn’t be harassed over fiction, typically they believe that fiction doesn’t reflect reality on a one to one basis (ex: if you read about someone murdering someone, you won’t go out and murder someone just cause you read it) I think most people are proshippers, cause, y’know, it’s stupid to get mad at someone over fiction.
fucked-up relationships in fiction fascinate me. I like reading about them, I like writing them, I ship a few of them. I don’t think that says anything about me as a person, other than I like fucked-up fiction.
It’s because tumblr started hiding any posts that use the tag nsfw.
If you tag something as nsfw it literally disappears from everywhere but your dashboard and your followers dashboards.
It does the same thing if you use the hashtag girls, too.
Any tag that tumblr associates with porn sends your post to the shadow realm.
🖋 It’s okay to write about dark and evil topics without explicitly condemning them in the text.
🖋 It’s okay to write with an unreliable narrator who views their own evil actions as good or admirable.
🖋 It is not your responsibility to make sure your audience knows that war, torture, abuse, incest, rape, child molestation and so on are bad.
🖋 Not all fiction is about telling a moral lesson to the reader.
🖋 You are not obligated to be your reader’s moral teacher.
I feel as though puritanism has become so incredibly pervasive in the writing world lately, hidden under the guise of social justice. I swear more people would wake up and see it if they realized just how many people use the word “problematic” as a flowery way to say “sinful.”
Just always remember to properly tag your work!!!
I think that articles like that lack context and are created to clickbait people with moral outrage.
The GTA games, especially the modern ones, are about horrible people across the board. They are a reflection of society at its worst.
Every character is the worst possible interpretation of their type of person. We see every character in a terrible light.
Characters in GTA are lazy, stupid, greedy, trashy, jealous, angry and petty. Just, all of them, every character.
So of course the women come off as misogynistic stereotypes, and the men come off as misogynists.
Every character in the games is a negative stereotype.
Its because everyone is portrayed as an awful person.
And people who think that fiction should never portray women as terrible people– or never portray misogynistic men– are stupid. Those people are stupid.
Terrible, petty, stupid, greedy people exist. Some of those people are women.
Men who treat women like garbage exist.
Trying to force fiction to pretend like those people don’t exist is stupid at best an dangerous at worst.
ETA: Also, sex workers like hookers and strippers are cool people who deserve dignity and respect, and part of that dignity and respect is allowing them to be portrayed in fiction.
