Iâm a bit worried about pro shippers because some say fiction doesnât effect reality but it does and some pro shippers ship things like adult x child and sibling x sibling and other things Iâm not anti censorship but some things shouldnât be normalized
I promise you if game of thrones and all those gothic literature haven't normalized incest â if slasher and horror movies haven't normalized murders or psychological torture, if hot villains haven't normalized manipulation or toxicity by now â then silly fanfiction isn't going to normalize shit.
if someone ever lets fiction affect them enough to the point they think bad things in fiction are good in-real-life because they're portrayed as such, then chances are that, with or without the fiction they consume, they are already troubled and they need help.
there are things you can worry about that are actually worrisome, but what type of fanfiction someone writes or reads is not one of those things.
you can, of course, find some things in fiction unpleasant. you can choose not to engage with fanfics that make you uncomfortable. but you have no right to tell other people what they can or can't create and/or consume. that is not your business.
and to my fellow writers, write whatever you want, however you want. no matter how messed up or morally questionable it is. you have all the freedom and power to write whatever you want, however you want forever. don't let strangers tell you what you can or cannot write.
