"I understand you have trauma, but that doesn't mean you can write [taboo topic]."

Yes, you absolutely can write a taboo topic. In fact, a lot of therapists suggest using fiction to cope with trauma and many encourage writing/reading dark things if it makes you feel better because its fictional

It makes me sad that so many trauma survivors who've already lost their personal autonomy are being told they're not allowed to have it again in a completely safe way

William trying to return Michael be like "I'd like to return this baby. I still have the receipt."

"Sir, that's not how that works-"

"I want to return this child now."

I want characters who are hypersexual.

I want characters who don't know social norms.

I want characters who break boundaries by accident.

I want characters who break boundaries on purpose.

I want characters who have weird kinks.

I want characters who do embarrassing things in public.

I want characters who have STDs.

I want characters who have taboo fantasies.

I see so many artists get recognition for their OCs (which they should) and I'm always a little sad my own hobby doesn't diffuse as well on social media or isn't as eye grabbing

"Other artists giving their characters regular trauma--"

"Other artists giving their characters excessive trauma--"

I don't like sharing them a lot. Sometimes I get worried others will relate to them and then it won't feel like my thing anymore. Like, everyone else already gets to have stuff, why don't I get to keep mine?

But sometimes I'm also selective and its fine for certain people to relate to certain OCs or certain traits and I really want to share things.
