please be respectful of all parties, and reblog for greater sample size. this is not an invitation for discussion in my inbox or in reblogs, i’m just curious
I see it a lot in my students that the ONLY mode they can engage with literature on is one in which they either say it’s good because it’s “relatable” or it’s bad because they “can’t relate to it” as well, and I feel like this is a symptom of the same problem. An unwillingness to engage with fiction outside of its ability to be a mirror to your specific worldview and set of morals. But art doesn’t exist to give you moral purity badges–it’s a mode of expression that produces conversations between artists and readers. And to engage in those converesations on an adult level you need to learn to process the discomfort of flawed human realities productively.
Fetishes/kinks are totally normal actually. People are not as vanilla as puritans think. Having one also says nothing about you morally. The only time fetishes/kinks are “bad” is if someone engaged in bad play or is hurting someone directly and even then it’s the behavior that’s bad and not the kink itself.
