but fiction takes impact on reality? like i'm a sadist and all i ever have to when meeting my family is sit there and listen to them talk about how it's unnatural to want to hurt another human being, because all the media has ever portrayed to them as "sadists" are whip swinging, sexist, psychopathic Black Jack Randall's taking pleasure in whipping people down to the bone.
you talk to your family about sadism?? bsdm?? thats on you then.
tw // violence
nah mate, i don't. do you think i'm suicidal?
ever watched outlander on a nice bingewatching evening with your family? guess who the antagonist is? a gay sexist sadist, that takes pleasure in beating people bloody to the bone. as in, sexual pleasure. consent? who's she? (not to kink shame but you probably shouldn't beat people to the point they slip on they're own blood and pieces of flesh are hanging from their back, even with consent.) so what follows? comments about how all sadists are abominations to the face of earth and taking pleasure in hurting people is abnormal and disgusting. not the pleasant evening you were hoping for.
fifty shades of grey? in NO WAY a proper portrayal of BDSM. but it blew up. so you have all these incorrect portrayals of sadists and BDSM all over the public media, and it /influences how people think/. you don't have to be openly sadistic to be surrounded by hateful comments all the time, exactly because of incorrect portrayals like these.
it's fictional, it's not real. i saw those kinds of comments every updates and i'm starting to think that y'all are the same bunch of people who learned sex through reading fics.
