To add to this, if you don't like something. Avoid it. Ignore it. Pretend it doesn't exist. Whatever tickles your fancy. Don't go to a seafood resto just to yell "I DON'T LIKE SEAFOOD!" and leave. Don't go inside in the first place, bruh.
*fits your fancy, FUCK. Sorry, English isn't my first language.
Or, go inside, see that it's all seafood and you don't like seafood, and then leave.
Thank you for speaking the truth, but people will still write hateful comments on stuff they don't like, no matter how hard we try to convince them how stupid it is. When someone is an idiot, no one can help them.. That's what I've learned through all these years of reading yaoi. So I just stopped paying attention to them. I read incest, rape, pedophillia. Do I support those stuff or do I look at my brother in a romantic or sexual way? No, never. I can make a difference between reality and fiction. I like to read normal fluffy cute non toxic stuff as well. I'm also a straight girl who's religious and goes to Church every week, so who tf can say anything about me when they don't know who I am. So just let triggered stupid twitter teen girls talk whatever they like
"People have preferences about what they like to read in fiction. The same way one might like fluff; another might like more fucked up stuff, and that's okay.
Isn't that why people like to explore villain stuff these days? It's not my cup of tea and I haven't read that genre so I'm probably making a wrong connection here, but my point is, people like to explore not so savory stuff, from morally questionable, wrong, to straight up taboo. There's nothing with that. (Note: This paragraph resonates so much with me. Like Killing Stalking. Don't like that. Don't wanna read it. But fucking hell was it popular during its time. Still don't understand why it was. Like they said though, nothing wrong with that)
>>As long as you're not dumb enough to mix up reality with fiction.<< (Note: PREACH!)
Anyone with a brain would understand that liking one thing in FICTIONAL media is not indicative of what kind of person you are, your morals, or what your stand is towards REAL things, media or not. In the favorite words of argumentators of this topic, people who liked fucked up stuff in fiction don't "condone" it in real life. (Note: Excuse me, Crue Trimers.)
Those who don't like this stuff are valid, but should take a look at themselves before judging those who don't. People have been exploring dark and taboo media in fiction for ages. Did it change how fucked up people became? As far as I know, the answer is no. And if you say yes, send me a link to the international published paper, thanks. It's almost like correlating the video games and violence thing. If you agree with that, then yikes, but if you don't, then take your hypocrisy with you and leave.
Don't get me wrong, those who like this stuff does not make one more "seasoned" in any way either. They just like different things."
