Morals or it's just fiction
I've seen a lot of things being justified by the fact that the story is just fiction but at the same time a lot of stories with minor details that can easily be registered as fiction get shitted on for not being morally right? Where does the line between the two stand , or is it just up to personal preference of being able to differentiate the two
The line stands with romanticization of problematic tropes like rape, pedophilia, incest and problematic topics. There's a line between making a psychological impact, legal battles, and the cultural factors that enable sexual violence (Hope a Korean movie) vs redeeming a rapist by the end and completely ignoring the fact the relationship was abusiv...... reply
If u can judge an author as racist based on how they depict black people, then why can't you judge an author as a weird ass freak for how they depict rape. Idk why people insist on saying there are absolutely no ties between an authors personal beliefs & morals and what they write. That's so fucking stupid. The problem isn't what you include it's h...... 1 reply
If it was made by a woman: just fiction
If it's targeted towards a female audience: just fiction
If it's a BL: just fiction
If it was made by a man: problematic

it really depends.
people love to trot out the "fiction doesn't affect reality" line, but it's really more complicated than saying "no real humans were harmed, so everything goes in fiction". once you're past childhood, it's not a straightforward monkey-see-monkey-do effect where people blindly repeat or mimic what they see in media. but that does...... reply
Fiction is fiction, if you physically cannot differentiate what should stay as fictional and what is not I don't know what kind of brain you have. If you're old enough to be reading porn, you should be old enough to know that some story are indeed just for getting off such as CNC, incest, and so on. I'm not saying that it should be glorified, but s...... reply
it definitely influences ur sense of moralty + ur beliefs!! there's nothing wrong with addressing disturbing topics in fiction as long as you're realistically depicting their real-world consequences and acknowledging that they are inherently problematic, but the issue is that many works portray sexual abuse/assault by 1. either downplaying the detr...... reply
I think one way to look at it is, is it glorified? If there’s a character doing something immoral, does the story make it look like they’re doing the right thing or does the story hold the character accountable for their actions? A good example of this is “I stalk her because I like her”. Is this behaviour romanticised or is the victim’s ...... reply
Morals AND it's fiction. Just because something is fiction doesn't mean you cease to have morals. People who go into a fictional media without involving morality or their own thoughts at all are exposing themselves as braindead. While there are certain topics you can argue is dependent on personal morals, let's make it clear that certain things ARE...... reply
You’re not going to get a solid answer because it’s contextual. That’s why this conversation keeps going in circles. However, people need to be more open to criticism of things they enjoy. No media or art is perfect because the creators, people, are not perfect. We always default to black or white thinking and it prevents progress.
