I think simply the fact that you are worrying about this already shows that you are a reasonable person that can clearly see the difference between fiction and reality. Scientists have already done work on similar topics (maybe you have heard of the "Do shooting games make real shootings more likely?"-debate). As far as I'm informed we are quite ......   1 reply

This topic is very blurry and a line is not clear. While it's true that many of these works are just fiction, fiction can indirectly impact how a person perceives situations. Stories are made with characters that are at least partially realistic to a point we can at least relate to them, which is what makes them good. There's another point about pe......   reply

Its hard to draw a clear line because fiction can influence reality a bit - like it desensitizes you to violence or sex. But you can make the grey area where you're starting to think terrible things are okay to do in real life. Most people who like messed up fiction are fairly normal and good. They do it because like you said it's a guilty pleasure......   reply

I'd say for the most part those tropes are things that most people can read and not have a second though about. You can consume bad tropes healthily by acknowledging why it's bad and making sure you're not normalizing it. Already you show that you can reflect on these scenes and understand why they're bad, so I don't believe you are a bad person. D......   reply

well, before you can just pass this and say that this is all just a fiction. and it's not like the author actually support it, it just like "what if". but the world is changing so does the mind of the people. and by that something like this have to be reevaluated for people to read in this generation by today mindset. and tbh, today mindset is kind......   reply

I think that everything we do is a reflection of ourselves. I used to enjoy some of those bad tropes until recently, but after I thought long and hard about how this fiction perverts and distorts the reality of rape, incest, abuse, pedophilia, etc. and what that was doing to the people who really have been victims of such things- I stopped rea......   reply

I think it depends on whether you are romanticizing/fetishizing the "thing" itself (shota, rape, incest) or whether it is more because you like the... "idea" of it? What I mean is that many people who have a rape fetish keep it completely separate from the real world, and in no way would want to be violated in such a disgusting and degrading way in......   reply

I think you know how to differentiate fiction from reality, and also i think in most cases "it's just fiction" it's kind of a good excuse, not everyone that reads gory manga wants to see everyone die in a gruesome way, and not everyone that reads shota is a active pedo (it's still pretty weird tho). Things like that are just porn anyway, so it work......   1 reply
