Fictional stabbing, torture, cannibalism, stalking, and murder are all fine but you draw the line at rape, incest, and underage ships?

Why???

I don't want anyone to get stabbed irl just like I don't want anyone to get raped irl and reading about either one of them isn't going to change my mind on that.

All of the above topics are dark and taboo things that make people uncomfortable. They also all have a right to be explored in fiction in all different ways.

Why is violence so normalized that even the most staunch anti can have fun playing with the dark themes of murder but when it comes to rape, exploring it in fiction makes you a criminal?

They always go for the old excuse of "you can portray this but only in certain ways or else you're normalizing/glamorizing/romanticizing/fetishizing it which is bad" but ONLY when it comes to sexual things.

Horror movies? You can woobify the killers, ship them together, joke about them, and write killer x reader fanfic til your fingers fall off. That's all okay, everyone knows that watching a horror movie or crushing on a fictional killer won't turn you into an irl murderer. Duh!

So why can they understand that for violence but not other controversial topics? If you can understand that watching a slasher movie or writing Billy Loomis x reader fanfic doesn't turn you into a murderer, then why do you think someone who reads for Billdip or ships Katara x Sokka is a real life sex criminal?

I doubt we'll ever get a real answer because there isn't one. It just boils down to "taboo stuff I can handle is fine and can be explored freely, taboo stuff I can't handle is gross and has no place in fiction".

I know the idea of Alastor only killing 'bad' people is very popular. I mean, I'm a fan of the theory myself and am in camp 'wants Alastor to be redeemed' (albeit in the sense of someone domesticating the feral cat they brought into their house who scratches the shit out of anyone who tries petting it).

Buuuuuuuut...

What if instead of Alastor choosing to only kill people 'deserving' of it because of a his own morals (weird as they may be), it was because of his mother? Like, if she discovered as a teenager that he was having homicidal thoughts, and not seeing any way to stop them but also not wanting to condemn her son, she asked him to at the very least only kill people who deserve to die? And Alastor, not wanting to disappoint the only person aside from himself who he cares for, agrees. Again, not because of his own sense of morality, but simply because his mother asked him to.

Idk how well i conveyed this but whenever i see voxal art where Al has hickeys in hard-to-reach places i can’t help getting hung up on the physics of it

I feel fandom would get along a lot better if there was mutual understanding that liking a character, agreeing with a character, and thinking the character is well constructed/executed are all separate (if often overlapping) positions, each with their separate tastes and subjectivities. Also: character portrayals are intended to make the audience feel things; this is separate from (if often overlapping with) analyzing/appreciating their actions and role in the story.

Thank you for the new national symbol 🙂‍↕️

Sorry Mr. King of Hell, Alastor hails from the land of stubborn, violent psychopaths 😔

(what it do my fellow americans)

My train of thought took me on a journey (cw for gore and eye trauma):

Lol, Lucifer threatening to cut off Alastor's head and cut out his eyes was kind of overkill.

Ooh, what if that was foreshadowing?

Now I hope Alastor gets his eyes sliced out in season 2 (sorry Al, I love you).

The Vees are going to be the main antagonists of season 2.

Vox hypnotizes people via eye contact or when they watch a screen he controls.

Alastor's weaker without his staff; he may be vulnerable to Vox's powers potentially for the first time.

What if Alastor gouges out his own eyes to keep Vox from hypnotizing him!?

What if because of the angelic wound on his chest, there's no guarantee his eyes will regenerate?

Charlie and her crew finding him like this, terrified and wounded.

Alastor lashing out violently, forcing Lucifer to step in to subdue him.

Lucifer watching the trails of blood running down his mangled eye sockets and feeling violently ill.

Aaaaaand that's all I got.
