i find it hard to be shocked about incest fics when riizeblr has become a place where people can genuinely post whatever they want and receive little to no backlash if they say it's in the name of "cope".

that's why i believe that writing noncon fics and claiming it's to process trauma becomes such a slippery slope. someone can post an extremely dark fic and say it's because they're coping. after posting, they answer the asks of people saying the writing is good with "thank you" and replies to anons that send them fantasies of riize raping them with "that's so hot". instead of posting their trauma and finding other ways to cope, they indulge people who are getting off on said trauma and write out OTHER PEOPLES fantasies that are also dark in nature. then, the positive feedback and the sheer amount of fics means more dark accounts are made and more dark fics are written, only getting darker and darker. before you know it a culture has been cultivated, so now when you go into the riize smut tag and the most recent fics are about riize as bullies that rape you, your toxic boyfriend that beats the shit out of you, or your biological father that grooms you.

that's why we need to really start having honest conversations about how valid it is to write extremely dark stories about real people and claim that it's to cope. do we believe that posting something so gruesome and dark involving real people to a public forum is okay as long as it's in the name of dealing with trauma? why are real people the perpetrators in their stories? why are they looking for people to praise their stories and find joy in their writing? why are they tagging their fics like they're hoping to reach a larger audience? how come we never see a fic about the trauma that comes with being assaulted, it's always the rape/abuse that they write about? when can we stop letting things pass as cope and start calling it what it actually is?

unfortunately, the community has been overrun with people who don't even like riize beyond using them as stand-ins for their rape fantasies. like i implore you guys to read some of these dark fics (if it is not too triggering, of course) but they're mostly quarter-baked drabbles that don't break 2k words and is obviously just a means to get off or find like-minded people. they characterize riize in cartoonish villainous ways, going off nothing more than their looks. that's why the "large" members (sungchan, anton, eunseok) are always the ones they're writing about. it's nothing more than a kink to them, and it's obvious in the way it's written.
