Tbh I totally get thinking about a kintype in a fandom context. We’re system of as far as I know four (myself, one who sees himself as a fallen angel, he + I from when we did acid the first time occasionally can resurface independently, and Junko Enoshima because of factors like the character independence conversations from the other day plus the fact I kept talking to her outside of writing and fostering her independence in depressive spirals and acid trips, none of us predate when the body was 12), and while we aren’t Christian nor were we raised Christian (raised Wiccan), politics and history special interests lead to a special interest in non-biblical Christian European mythology (angel and demon summoning/banishing rune type stuff). As such, the fallen angel defines himself in a very “Christianity from the perspective of a historical mythology” way, like how the average person thinks about the Greek or Egyptian gods.

Thank you so much for sharing! It’s nice to know that we aren’t alone in coming to the realization that fictionkin experiences and fandom activity don’t have to be kept completely separate.

Since I first was introduced to the concept of “confusing disgust with morality”, I think that may be a big part of why even supposedly “sex positive” people get so scandalized about even incredibly benign kinks, like foot fetish stuff. While it’s definitely not MY thing, I don’t understand people acting like its “degenerate”, when it’s just like, another part of the body. Why’s it okay to like boobs or butts or legs but feet cross a line?

The answer is that everyone has their own boundaries. Which is okay and fine. But, as you said, people confuse their own boundaries with morality, which muddies the waters.

People end up in hypocrisy when they condemn things instinctively based on personal emotions, rather than asking themselves if the stance is consistent with their own moral framework.

Tbh same. Writing fics of trauma related stuff either in violence that I had to deal with actually helped me heal from it. I no longer feel fucked up over what happened. Writing fics helps me cope with my irl issues. And I hate when people say, “No, you can’t do that cause you’re replaying what happened, and it’s unhealthy.” Dude, writing, fantasizing, has helped me deal with it. It has helped, ffs. Don’t try to take this from me.

When you write about trauma, you are the one in control. Fancops don’t understand– or don’t care– that fiction empowers victims and lets them take control in a situation they were not in control of.

Therapists recommend this kind of thing all the time.
