I'm Not Talking About Angst Fics Here - Tumblr Posts

I know fictional characters aren't real and what you do to them doesn't actually affect real living people but I still feel deeply uncomfortable when people write stuff where they torture or torment characters in uncomfortably graphic ways for their own amusement. I don't mean like writing about two characters fighting in a battle and one of them kills the other one or characters having a bad day or just having some angst about their problems or a character suffering a personal setback or losing a fight against a villain and then going on to grow and develop as a character afterwards or whatever but there's a very specific sort of fanfic that some people write where the focus is on tormenting the characters and making them suffer in the most detailed and graphic ways possible in a way that makes you suspect that the writer gains sexual enjoyment out of it and it grosses me out so much to see that stuff because yeah, the characters might not be real and thus you can't actually hurt them the way you can hurt living people but just the fact that you fantasize about them suffering in incredibly detailed, specific, and painful ways makes me question your mental stability.
