Earthling in distress

Fiction affects reality if you allow it to affect reality, but fiction in itself cannot change ANYTHING. It is an object a matter of thoughts.

Propaganda while is "fiction" it's pushed towards people as if its the truth, as if its real. Propaganda is lies covered in a blanket to make you see something that isnt there it's meant to change your world view and thought process.

The slenderman case, has already been a disproven clause by other people, I won't say much but they were not mentally there enough to acknowledge that it was fiction, most people do have the stability to acknowledge what fiction is even if they don't want to accept it.

Santa clause is something you tell a 2 year old which 2 year olds believe their parents on a lot because you are seen as a reliable and trusted source. Why would your child not believe you?..

Most fiction has a warning that it's fiction and if it contains dark topics and topics that may be sensitive, I have a book near me that's dark fiction this is what it says "as much as *books name* is a dark romance comedy and will hopefully make you laugh it's still dark, read responsibility." Then lists the triggers, whats stated in that post doesn't promote itself as fiction as fake while this "fiction affecting book" that I have does, because it's a fiction piece of work meant to be seen as fiction and enjoyment.

▸ I DONT CONDONE ANY HARASSMENT TOWARDS ANYONE THAT IS POSTED TO THIS PAGE, ANTI OR NOT.

I really love Fujieda, and I'd like to ask about the park scene in his route. I’ve seen that many people in the fandom consider it completely out of character for him, and some people even hate him because of the rape and the lack of an apology later in the story. I’m really curious to hear your opinion on this scene.

(also I’m really sorry if this is a topic that has already been discussed a lot, it’s just something that has been bothering me for some time.)

AWWW your welcome~

It makes me overjoyed to know that people love my metas!

I thought the scene was obvious, but I’ll explain it again for better clarification 

firstly lets examine the park. The park plays an important role in the route its the place where Fujieda and Towa first met each other and cooperate to find out about the past.

The true route throws around the park all the time. It might not seem important at first, but if you look deeper, you come to realize that  the park holds special significance in the route, 

When you think of a park, it is a place where children come to play. With that in mind, you begin to realize that the park symbolizes Towa and Fujieda’s loss of childhood in the hands of their abusive parents and their determination to get it back.

It's a subtle reference that goes unnoticed, but when you play through it, you realize it. 

As for why Fujieda attacked Towa, I already explained it before in my mirror symbolism meta, 

"In another scene in the game when Fujieda attacks Towa, Fujieda overcome with sorrow after learning the truth, lashes out at Towa believing that Towa is just as culpable as Maya he is furious that he had no idea that Towa’s a victim of Maya despite Towa being her son. Fujieda is finding a tangible way of getting revenge for Mei. This mirrors how Towa attacked Fujieda in their first meeting in the playground when he is overcome with his PTSD symptoms from remembering the past."

Fujieda has pent-up emotions that he suppressed for the sake of the quest for the truth, and here he unleases them in a flurry.

If you think about everything up until now in Fujieda's past before the events of the route its not completly out of character for Fujieda to go on a rampage and attack Towa. 

The reason why this scene shows Fujieda behaving violently this way is supposed to show that he was acting out in contrast to how his character was presented to us, the audience. He doesn’t act rationally as we expect him to, but is angry and broken.

The reason Fujieda doesn’t apologize to Towa for his actions is that Fujieda still views Towa as a prime suspect in Mei's death, and that neither of them trusts the other.

 If you think about how Towa doesn’t care what happened afterwards, and doesn’t even want Fujieda to apologize, this points out that neither Towa nor Fujieda trusts each other; they only cooperated out of shared interests.

okay I will try it explain it in the best of my abilities, 

the song is bittersweet since it represents how Towa and Fujieda spend a long time in sadness, resigned apathy for life for what felt like eternity. they never thought that life would ever get better so they look back in marvel that went to nowhere to no here. there another thing that I like to mention its the use of “Towa” in the song 

トワに鳴る⼼臓亀裂の海

Towa ni naru shinzou kiretsu no umi

A heart beating for eternity, a sea full of cracks

despite it being an insult that people choose for him. Towa transforms into something beautiful in the song 

A response adult wouldn't have gone NEAR Satomi as a kid, let alone bring him to third locations and give him rides. A responsible adult wouldn't have been all fucking weird and touchy feely or flirty with the kid. A responsible adult wouldn't have disappeared without a word despite promising to keep in touch only to show up basically the second Satomi moves out of home at 18. And he certainly would keep going on what amounts to basically semi-regular dates with him.

This Ossan is delusional enough to think after all the things he's done, acting oblivious to everything and being like "Staomi kun is my good friend~" is the act of being responsible.

He's trying so hard to do his idea of the right thing, but still can't fucking decide to either put proper boundary/end to all of this or just fucking do what he wants.

How does the guy who married Miku have more self-awareness about this than antis do? 😭

But skip forward to famiresu and kyouji is nearly a completely different character. He's still got that unaffected air but he never touches satomi, never flirts with him, is basically completely passive in their relationship, except he keeps organising their meetups. Gives satomi that fucking watch. Gives satomi whatever he wants but he's completely stopped taking anything.

this is a dumbass comment for two (2) reasons, which i will now tell you.

1: no one is arguing that fiction doesn't affect reality. no one. in fact, the only people i've seen argue that "fiction doesn't affect reality" are proship bait blogs (blogs made by antis to "bait" proship people), so maybe you want to redirect this energy towards your fellow antis.

fiction does affect reality, but not to the extent that most antis argue. fiction can make you happy, sad, angry, etc. if you're not careful with what you're consuming, it can potentially trigger you, but it can also help you heal from trauma(s). what fiction cannot do is make you abuse or assault someone on a whim. if you have a good grasp on fiction and reality, if you know the difference between the two (which most people do), you don't have to worry about fiction turning you into an abuser. if fiction somehow makes you do things you'd never consider doing, then clearly your moral backbone is comprised entirely of wet spaghetti, which is a problem with you, not the fiction you're consuming.

2: if you're aware that certain things in fiction may have a negative impact on you (such as causing psychosis, as the comment claims), then it is your responsibility to safely manage what you consume in fiction to avoid being negatively affected. no one else's. you being stupid enough to consume fictional content that you know negatively affects you (multiple times, apparently!) does not suddenly make fiction bad and dangerous, it just makes you irresponsible.

"fiction caused x negative affect on me" will never mean "fiction is inherently harmful".
