the art is bomb, the plot not so much

i don't understand people complaining about the people complaining about rape. rape is an issue. rape being fetishised and romanticised is an issue. folks who say "if it's not your cup of tea, don't read it, go read cliche fluff instead" are off their rockers lmfao. just because people don't like a shit or problematic plot doesn't mean they are party poopers or anything lmao you are treating us as if rape is a "cup of tea", meaning a preference, and not a deplorable act happening to people irl.

"it's fiction, not reality" yeah but fiction has an active influence on reality. it represents reality and imitates reality. these lines and dots arranged to look like humans represent humans, are created by humans and act based on human mechanisms. otherwise you wouldn't be able to make sense of what you are looking at or relate to it.

you can't separate the reality-inspired and mirroring and influencing fiction from reality. if i walk in on someone masturbating to drawn/animated rape, cats being gutted and cooked or innocent pictures of babies, i am not gonna go "oh yes, this person is normal, none of that fap material says anything about them and their inclinations, everything is cool haha".

we are allowed to complain about people creating, distributing, trivializing and consuming rape. it says a lot about how they view social topics that are a part of life. a dark, immoral and criminalized part of life.
