yeah we put your girl in the fandom and they villainized her beyond comprehension. yeah sorry they took out all the nuance and made the argument completely black and white. yeah my bad. we can’t reverse it. sorry.
i see i see, i might try to reword that part then. i guess it is true that art is subjective, i’ll probably mull it over some more. thank you for your input :)
Hey tumblr,
So ive been thinking a lot about the pro ship and anti communities, and i feel like my stance aligns somewhere in between.
i, nineshrines, am NOT a pro-shipper. i am however kink and fetish positive, and all for dark themes and topics being written about in media. I believe that people should be able to enjoy their interests, no matter how “strange” they might be to others.
what i do NOT support, however, is extreme paraphilias and traumatic experiences being romanticized. People should be allowed to write about dark things, because they are VERY real, and shouldn’t be treated like they don’t exist. romanticization gives way to normalization in fandom spaces, and these things should NOT be made normal. instead, they should be written as they are; literal real world crimes that scar people for years afterwards.
That’s not to say i support the demonization of things like mental illness and whatnot. The stigma that it creates within a community often hurts people. just like the romanticization of harmful things does the same.
Fiction does affect reality, while not directly. it depicts and perpetuates different views and ideas to the consumer, some of which they will pick up and use in the real world. Why do you think people spread around fake news?
TLDR; I think that people can write about whatever they want (i.e. incest, pedophilia, abuse, etc.) as long as they’re portrayed REALISTICALLY.
i’ve been trying to come up with a term for it. Anti rom (anti romanticization) is what im calling it for now.
fair enough dude, didn’t think of it that way. my point about stigmatization still stands though. of course its on a smaller scale because like… its fandom, we’re all losers, but it still happens. i support dark media and shit, you can write whatever you like, but i don’t think it should be painted in a positive light. i just don’t want to see people get hurt.
sorry if that didn’t make any sense
