antis hate “nasties”? well i’m not a nasty

I’m trying not to reblog posts on this blog but I feel that this is important to post here.

And for the people asking “Well if you don’t support it irl then why would you like it in fiction?!” Because when it’s happening irl real people are suffering and dying and that’s horrible and I’d never want that. But when it’s fiction, when no real people are being hurt or killed, it’s interesting to explore the experience, the effects it may have, and to an extent experience the emotions involved without actually having to experience the horrible thing. You explore scary, dangerous things from a safe distance.

It’s the same reason I love disaster movies and don’t love actual disasters. I mean, if someone can’t intuit the difference  between watching a movie like 2012 and yelling “cool!” when LA slides into the ocean and being horrified at the real life effects of global warming and the idea of millions of people dying as a result, then  *I* am not the one with the problem.

If you compare shipping fictional characters to the rape and abuse of real, living children, you’re a disgusting monster with no soul. Comparing random headcanons, art, and stories about fictional characters who by definition don’t exist to the horror and pain children who are abused go through is unspeakably horrifying and the lack of empathy it shows for what real living people go through is nothing short of pure evil.

RIP to people who can’t care about someone unless they’re lines on paper but I’m different

imagine thinking anime characters are more important than the lives of irl people
