OK So I'm Relistening To Mag 46 And It Seems To Imply That There's Some Supernatural Force Targeting

OK so I'm relistening to mag 46 and it seems to imply that there's some supernatural force targeting British secondhand booksellers, which I guess could be caused by Jurgen Leightners disappearance releasing the magic books, but that feels like a weird detail to include just this once. It's also clearly possible for the books to kill the bookseller as the statement givers friend falling down the stairs lines up with the books powers in relation to the vast, but the only indication this is a more widespread issue is a couple of lines that never go anywhere and I think that's weird. Or I'm just reading into it to much.

But seriously wtf is up with this.

He's back!!!

RQ knew exactly what they were doing when they made this little shit

Your personal triggers and squicks do not get to determine what kind of art other people make.

People make shit. It's what we do. We make shit to explore, to inspire, to explain, to understand, but also to cope, to process, to educate, to warn, to go, "hey, wouldn't that be fucked up? Wild, right?"

Yes, sure, there are things that should be handled with care if they are used at all. But plenty more things are subjective. Some things are just not going to be to your tastes. So go find something that is to your tastes and stop worrying so much about what other people are doing and trying to dictate universal moral precepts about art based on your personal triggers and squicks.

I find possession stories super fucking triggering if I encounter them without warning, especially if they function as a sexual abuse metaphor. I'm not over here campaigning for every horror artist to stop writing possession stories because they make me feel shaky and dissociated. I just check Does The Dog Die before watching certain genres, and I have my husband or roommate preview anything I think might upset me so they can give me more detail. And if I genuinely don't think I can't handle it, I don't watch it. It's that simple.
