Is Normalizing Problematic Stuff In Fiction Actually Harmful To Others In Real Life, Or Is That Just

Is normalizing problematic stuff in fiction actually harmful to others in real life, or is that just something said to prevent further talk of such things?

The notion that fiction can in any way normalize "problematic stuff" is a discussionary roadblock in much the same way that the moment you try talking to certain people about certain things they whip out pedophilia as a trump card.

Its also why its actually so fucking important that from a young age we are given proper, well-rounded education and opportunities to exercise things like critical thinking, self-reflection and the ability to analyse what is in front of us to form our own conclusions instead of blindly following and believing whatever we see at first glance.

(Which applies to everything.)

Its also why its so important to separate things like creative appreciation and reality. Which we see in the whole anti vs proship debate all the time. We are supposed to observe fiction from the outside. We are not supposed to try to convert reality into fiction or exist in the real world as if we are in fiction.

Have you ever watched Hannibal and gone out to kill someone to turn them into a fancy European dish? Have you ever watched Game of Thrones and tried to fuck your sister?

Lolita is another prime example. The amount of people who didn't understand the actual point of Lolita and still don't is fucking staggering. Lolita is supposed to make you uncomfortable because you know its not right. You know its not normal. It doesn't romanticize or normalize pedophilia and older men going after young teenage girls. It does the opposite.

There are two types of people who believe or are susceptible to believing things they see in fiction are acceptable in real life; the uneducated and the mentally unstable.

I'm not gonna deny that a lot of remakes of films and shows can be pretty shit in comparison to the original but it always makes me laugh when I see people scoff and scream in outrage that 'some things should be alone' and 'remakes shouldn't be allowed' because like.

Do you ever remember they established in canon that Eggsy Unwin is into anal because I just did

I feel like antis only ACTUALLY care about victims if they fit their "perfect narrative" of what a hurt person "should be" and I'm quite frankly tired of it

CoughStrangerThingsfandomcough.

Then I can't show it without my blog getting flagged as NSFW probably but in the scene where Eggsy goes back for her they show that Merlin can see everything on the screen, and it shows her rolling over onto her stomach with a zoom-in of her butt and Eggsy reaching for it.

So, yep.
