Finally A Writer That Doesnt Write For The Grabber, Ive Had To Unfollow A Lot Of My Fav Writers Because

Finally a writer that doesn’t write for the grabber, I’ve had to unfollow a lot of my fav writers because they started writing for him which?? Like idc if hes hot (cuz hes def not sorry) he still kidnapped and killed boys and was most likely a pedo like 🤨 yall are weird. Pedos and child killers are where I draw the line sorry ❤️

There’s a lot of drama going on with the grabber at the time and I’m not interested in getting mixed up in it, but I will explain exactly why I won’t write for him.

TW: Mentions of Pedophilia, Rape, CP

It has been openly claimed by people who have worked on the movie that the grabber is a pedophile.

I understand that fiction doesn’t dictate reality as if that were the truth I would be attracted to actual serial killers and what-not, but I am not comfortable writing for him because of my own boundaries.

Because of this, I don’t believe that people who write for him are necessarily evil or pedophiles themselves. They may just be like me, a person who watched the movie and enjoyed it.

At first I didn’t believe him to be a pedophile because it was not explicitly stated or shown in the film, so, much like Freddy Krueger in the original films, I assumed it was people simply trying to give reason as to why he was murdering children.

But after I looked it up and read on it a bit, it is official that he is, in fact, getting something sexual from this.

Now that doesn’t mean people can’t manipulate and change the character for their own writing purposes. They can easily make their own version, as most writers like myself do. This won’t change the fact that the original character is a pedophile, no, but it gives the writers a chance to enjoy the aspects about the grabber that they enjoy, and there’s no harm in that, as it’s very important to remember, this entire film is fictitious and no one was actually hurt by the actions of this fictional character.

Onto my second point, Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees, the two most commonly beloved slashers, have attempted to murder not just teens, but children.

Freddy Krueger, originally murdered children. Bubba Sawyer, in what I believe it be the second or third film, was a rapist.

Slashers aren’t meant to be perfect. They are murderers. They are bad people. Sometimes people who make the movies want to include a ‘new, surprising’ aspect that we won’t like.

That doesn’t mean that we love them any less. We simply tailor them to our preferences, make them our own. Because in the end, the most important thing you can remember is that these killers are fictional and have actually hurt no one.

And finally, onto my third point. People have been writing about the children and victims of The Black Phone.

This one is a more touchy subject, given the circumstances.

There have been Grabber/Reader fics, Robin/Finney fics, and sometimes even Grabber/Finney fics.

I’ve already explained how I felt about the Grabber/Reader situation, so now I’ll touch on the rest.

Writing about the trauma experienced by a victim isn’t wrong.

The stories that don’t contain romance and simply cover the truth of what happened are not inherently wrong. They are delving in and exploring the psychological toll that has been put on the children’s minds.

If they were to be pedophiles for writing that, so would the creators of The Black Phone.

Now when you add romance to the mix and try to make it out like the children should be in a happy and healthy relationship with the grabber, that’s not okay for obvious reasons.

Now for the Robin/Finney fics.

Minors will write about Minors. That is something that’s going to happen. Minors are allowed to be attracted to Minors and write about it like adults are.

For them to write romantic stories about people their age is perfectly natural and alright, you wouldn’t call the makers of The Black Phone pedophiles for including the fact that Finney canonically had feelings for a girl in his class, would you?

Now when it comes to explicit writings by minors, we can’t do anything to make them not post and make it public, even though, no matter if it was written by a minor or not, is CP. That’s just how the law works. Anything sexual related to anyone under 18 cannot be handled online in any shape way or form or it is considered CP.

That doesn’t mean that it’s bad either. Unless it’s an adult writing about children canoodling for some kind of sexual release.

In the end it’s all a lot of drama I don’t want to get dragged into. This is just how I feel about everything happening, and I think it’s best to just say my piece and let it be.
