#when lolita is from the perspective of a predator and he’s actually the bad guy there

[illputdownmyrootswhenimdead]

the internet is a stupid place because you can see someone get accused of "openly supporting child porn" just because they like. post their works on ao3

#thats not what that means. do you know what words mean? #are there some things on ao3 that people shouldn’t be posting? maybe so #but there’s a hell of a leap between ‘fictional story involving fictional characters with fictional events happening’ #and ‘irl minors being exploited for real CP’ #using a website ≠ supporting CP #i think it’s uh. how you say. really stupid #dove talks #the fictional content you write and enjoy don’t indicate your morals #like if that was the case i guess im a serial killer because i enjoy creating and consuming bloody and sometimes graphic horror media #and yes of course you have to be responsible with what content you consume. but that doesn’t mean cutting out anything morally challenging #and only consuming ‘safe/good’ media #that helps nothing. it’s good to consume media that isn’t ‘safe’ sometimes #the belief that the fictional media you consume is equivalent to your morals is how we get people saying if you read a book like lolita and #enjoy it in any way. that you’re a bad person and obviously want to do bad things #when lolita is from the perspective of a predator and he’s actually the bad guy there #so of course his behavior is excused in his own perspective #but people who read the book can figure out with critical thinking that hes wrong #it’s the same thing. if you write a character who’s a bad person who does bad things it doesn’t mean you want to do that. #this is very. very simple stuff. but i see grown adults saying that if you write and enjoy ‘dark’ media #you obviously want to do those bad things #which is. genuinely so stupid #like i said. if that was true. i would be a serial killer. because i enjoy violent horror. #it’s stupid #delete later maybe
