bitch i'm a star!!!

So, there's this fic author you found. They write for your fandoms, they respond to comments, and they've written some of your favorite types of fics.

The problem is, they also write things you're not comfortable with. I'm talking incest, child characters being aged up to be shipped with other characters, etc. I don't know if I should keep reading their fics, because on one hand they write some great fics and I'm all for creative freedom, but on the other hand...yeah.

Should I stop reading all their fics?

This is like saying “should I stay friends with this person because I found out they like slasher movies and slasher movies are bad because violence and gore and murders are bad!!!!”

Honestly do whatever you want. But you can’t “police” how other people create their art, or what type of art they create, that’s not your business. Also fiction and dark fics aren’t a reflection of the artist’s moral compass.

you're not profic if you "support all ships EXCEPT the gross and illegal ones"

you're not profic if you make exceptions and decide YOUR "comfort character" is exempt from "anyone can do whatever the fuck they want with them"

you're not profic if you harass people for "disrespecting" your favorite fictional characters

you're not profic if you think the fictional characters you like are worthy of more respect and consideration than real people

edit : omg i said serial kisser . serial killer guys . lmfao

some people will see a stranger mind their own business, engage in a hobby that does not harm anyone in real life and think “I will play a therapist by diagnosing a complete stranger, whom I don’t know, with mental illness and make this my business somehow”

anyway, I am telling you that it’s NORMAL to find dark fiction fun, even if it portrays things like rape.

the same way it’s normal to find horror movies, slasher movies, war movies where characters get brutally and graphically killed fun.

why? because no one is actually being harmed in real life.

fictional characters are fantasies and thought crimes are not real.

“imagine if a man said that” I honestly could not care less what fanfiction a man reads or what he jerks off to. as long as he’s not actually hurting anybody in real life, his fantasies aren’t my business or concern

“you’re not any better” please tell me where exactly I say I am “better”

“you shouldn’t be proud of it” I actually am very proud of it. I am proud of my fics, including the ones that are about rape. I am proud of how far I’ve come as a writer. and I am proud of how unapologetic I am to portray dark and taboo things in my art.

“stop reading fics” No. I will neither stop reading fics nor will I stop writing fics. and there’s absolutely nothing you can do about that.

“start talking to people in real life” I have a lot of friends, thank you. and they all know that fiction =/= reality. we also love talking about how we can hurt our favorite fictional characters in our fics more. and it’s super fun. we always have a great time sharing each other ideas on what we should write.

“you’re completely out of touch with reality” then so are thousands, if not millions, of people who enjoy dark fiction because they know fiction are not reality and thought crimes are not real.

my advice? mind your own business. it’s totally okay to not be okay with taboo fiction. I don’t expect everybody to like or even understand the appeal of taboo fiction. but just because you personally don’t understand it doesn’t mean it’s not something a lot of people enjoy regardless.
