The Vampyre's Den

Educate yourself, know its ok to want what you want and feel what you feel.

“61% of self-identified women had fantasized about this [being forced to have sex] before, while 24% said they fantasized about it often.”

“54% of self-identified men had fantasized about this before, while 11.5% said they fantasized about it often.”

“68% of non-binary participants had fantasized about this before, while 31% said they fantasized about it often.”

Interestingly, the same guy also asked people about the inverse, i.e. did they fantasize about forcing sex on someone else, which he talks about in a blog post. He found (again using exact quotes):

“20% of self-identified women had fantasized about this [forcing sex on someone else] before, while 4% said they fantasized about it often”

“38% of self-identified men had fantasized about this before, while 7% said they fantasized about it often”

“38% of non-binary participants had fantasized about this before, while 9% said they fantasized about it often”

I recommend reading both articles, they go into a lot more detail than I’ve reported here. This guy also wrote a book on this topic, though I haven’t read it.

But also.

I don't like this implication that her sleeping in Castle Town is... bad? because it's "not real"?

Like. It sucks that she doesn't have a real "home" in the Light World. That's awful. But why shouldn't Castle Town be a home to her, if she doesn't really have one in the Light World? Would you prefer her to sleep in a place that she doesn't feel safe in?

And that's just one thing. Because I get that something something too much escapism is bad.

But also.

I don't like this implication that Castle Town--and all its inhabitants--aren't real.

Because that defeats the purpose of Ralsei's arc.

It defeats the purpose of SUSIE's arc.

That defeats the purpose of... pretty much everything.

And that REALLY bugs me.

It IS real. THEY ARE REAL PEOPLE. Are we playing the same game?

And again, I'm not talking about the wonderful art. I love the art! I love angst! I'm talking about the reactions to the art. I've literally seen people say "omg get out of there Susie it's not real" and I'm like ?????. Hadst thou playedth the fucking game???

Cuz if they're not real, then truly nothing matters. Not the story, the characters, "the roaring," etc. It is a story with no stakes whatsoever, no SUBSTANCE whatsoever, if everything in the dark worlds is pure fiction. Why would we even need to worry about the Knight and their actions if the dark worlds are fake? Why would having more than one matter at all if they're fake? Fake things don't cause apocalypses.

And your response is to publically apologise to them.

swore

Fries! With. Ketchup.

see having to pick is hard, i really can't say for sure..

i always love seeing different versions of chara in different circumstances, i love all of them!!

..but i guess if i had to pick, it'd be Outertale, since the chara in it is the same as the original (can't beat the original) but space themed

and i can give them an excuse to making black holes
