reminder to be incredibly wary around any rhetoric that uses “addiction” to refer to anything except a medical pathology that involves psychological dependence on a physical substance you put in your body, because that is what addiction is. there is no ‘internet addiction’, there is no ‘porn addiction’, etc.
Friends; how long should a celebrity and/or historical figure have been dead for before you *personally* stop feeling uncomfortable with fiction being written about them?
dead for
they can be alive, it’s fine with me.
recently dead
dead for five years or more
dead for at least a decade
dead for at least 20 years
dead for at least 50 years
dead for at least 100 years
dead for more than 100 years
I’m never personally comfortable with fiction about historical figures.
If you’re curious about the context, I was thinking about Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra and trying to decide if I’d feel weird writing about them 😂 (I think I probably would feel weird 😅)
