ohtaka betrayed me but I will live and die alikou

skullsuit:

this is literally one of the most obnoxious things of tumblr that has like, driven me away from using this website at all. the absolutely obnoxious idea that if a subject is upsetting to you, it’s not allowed to exist in fiction. like oh dang, i don’t like murder. so anything story/fanart/song/media involving murder? 

it’s now murder culture. supporting murder. actually the people who create it are totally going to go out and kill people, okay? i can’t dislike something without trying to create some moral panic so i’m in the right. because i can’t just dislike something, i have to be in the right about being morally outraged by it. 

like damn people can’t just go “oh yikes it’s not for me” and move on. no, they have to make sure it’s not right  for ANYONE to enjoy that piece of fiction. and they have to come up with some kind of justification why it means this person’s going to go out and do bad things. 

like in the same breath they call the whole argument about video games causing violence ridiculous. but if someone writes a fanfic with a subject they don’t like, it suddenly means they’re going to go out and do whatever the subject is. 

i mean honestly it’s just so alarmist and wild. this idea that if you enjoy something gross in fiction, you’re automatically going to go out and do the thing in real life.
