"Realism" in stories
How do you guys feel about people defending stories with "well it's realistic"? I've seen this expressed in two different stories this week, and it's only ever used to describe characters being forgiven for bs as soon as the story finishes. I asked this in the homepage comments and got two really interesting responses so i would like to see more opinions.
More context would be appreaciated, but i love psychological stories and even better if the characters aren't black or white, i'm guessing that's what you mean. I think it really depends, it wouldn't be "realistic" if the mc ends up dating a grapist out of nowhere, BUT it would be realistic if he ends up dating him after going through complex psych...... 1 reply
