âis it wrong for me to write xyz in fiction?â even the most vile, most shockingly disgusting thing you can think of is not wrong to write about as long as itâs fiction. doesnât matter how you write it. doesnât matter if you romanticize it.
who do you hurt by indulging in fantasies that are not real? oh right, the imaginary and nonexistent people in your head.
whoâs gonna arrest you? the imaginary and nonexistent cops in your head?
whoâs gonna stop you? random strangers on the internet who canât even actually do anything to stop you unless you care about them, their opinions and approval?
*if someone thinks the bad things you write in fiction are okay in real life because theyâre portrayed as such in fanfiction, chances are thatâwith or without the fiction they consumeâtheyâre already troubled and they need help. but their inability to separate fiction from reality is not your problem or business. youâre not a parent or a babysitter of a stranger whose existence you donât know about.
