the ability to say “i dont have a tiktok” in social situations makes me feel so powerful. like the general reaction is “shock, confusion, then this weird ‘thats probably a good thing’ response” its so fun
I really think everyone needs to truly internalize this:
Fictional characters are objects.
They are not people. You cannot “objectify” them, because they have no personhood to be deprived of. They have no humanity to be erased. You cannot “disrespect” them, because they are not real.
I know this has good intentions, so I will just add the “how you treat them, even as objects of fiction, can speak about your own character, be careful out there”
Your addition is actually completely antithetical to my message. It is literally the opposite of what I am conveying.
Stop telling people to encourage the cop inside their head.
How you treat fictional characters, given they are entirely objects of fiction, does NOT necessarily speak to your own character, and you do not need to be “careful”.
It is not dangerous to imagine dark things happening to fictional characters. It does not mean you are secretly a bad person. It does not mean you unconsciously want to hurt people in real life. It is not a “slippery slope” to doing bad things to people in real life. You cannot damage your brain or turn yourself into a bad person by consuming “dark” fanfic.
I can write tentacle noncon of my favorite character all day long and be a fierce anti-sexual assault advocate in real life because what I do in my head is not the same thing as what I do in real life.
that post you te logged about noncon? yeah, weird. shipping a couple, real or not, that is abusive isn't okay. it doesn't matter if they're just art or whatever.
nobody sane would write or draw an underage ship even if they aren't real bc wtf? so why would you do that with abusive characters? unless it was supposed to be a critical piece about how that's bad (obviously)? or acknowledging that it's bad? it's not okay to excuse toxic ships just bc they aren't real
I cannot emphasize enough just how little I value your opinion
“i wanna get better at drawing [body part] but i dont want people to think i have a fetish” stop worrying. youre an artist. everyone already knows youre a pervert of some kind.
