#Fiction does affect reality

"Fiction doesn't affect reality!!"

So close! There have been many studies that show that fiction does affect how people respond to reality.

Take Jaws for example. The movie made people deathly afraid of sharks and led to the increase of hunting sharks, which caused the population to decline.

Or copycat killings. People watching horror movies and deciding they want to be like the killers, leading the deaths of real people.

If fiction didn't affect reality, lgbtq and racial representation wouldn't be needed since it doesn't affect reality.

People have been sa'd because people decided to take "inspiration" from 50 Shades of Grey and porn mangas

Fiction can also affect our view on REAL PEOPLE. Like Asians, Latinas, and Native Americans.

Not to mention, "The Birth of a Nation" literally revived the KKK

Stephen King literally said to stop publishing his book "Rage" because it "inspired" several people to kill.

Kids were kissing frogs because Tiana from the Princess and the Frog did

There are some examples where fiction doesn't affect reality. Like say: Fornite. You're killing players, not real people.

Also in America it's illegal to draw child porn you sick freaks.

Hope this helps!! <333

I wish proshippers would understand the fact that fiction does affect reality, you have no excuse for sexualizing children, you are actively making csam, you are actively putting kids who are in vulnerable states like you are in danger of being groomed, if you were really victims of grooming or sa you wouldn't actively push out content that is gonna hurt more kids, you are disgusting and you should feel that way

My father has worked for the DoD since the mid 90s, and most animes that get network time slots in the US have funding from them. It's why most animes that get that kind of release in the US are fighting/militaristic animes. (The first one he told me he helped with was the Gundam Wing dub.) I'm messaging you this information because Yashahime ticks all the boxes for a series they would've funded. The main one is Sesshomaru and Rin's relationship. They push age gap relationships in media when women's and children's right activism starts to get more attention. When they have more rights, women are less likely to get married and have children, while the children who are born have more stable homes and family finances, which makes them less likely to join the military. There was more than just the SessRin relationship. The entire series was nothing but propaganda poorly glued together. (Especially the end when they discussed children being on a battlefield, that scene was so obvious.) I've been wanting to reach out and share this for a while, but I honestly wasn't sure anyone would believe me. With the public becoming more knowledgeable about government and military propaganda in the last few months, I think people are ready for it.

Thank you very much for sending this to me, anon. I want you to know that I believe you.

Many people - not just antis - have said over and over again that fiction does affect reality. Of course fiction is used to promote certain agendas, of course fiction is used to promote certain values, certain relationships , certain situations, - both for good and for bad. Whoever knows about marketing won't let me lie, fiction is used both to generate rejection and acceptance and desire for particular things. Perhaps we would do well to ask ourselves why certain shows, certain books, certain music, certain movies or fiction-in any format, not just anime-receive budget and others do not. Come on, there are even studies and articles about this. It's 2024, people who insist that fiction does not affect reality aren't in reality themselves to begin with.

So Anon, thanks again for your ask, and if you like to send more information about this, it's welcome here :)

Explaining my stance on fiction and the "fiction affects reality" debate through analogy

(Because I suck at giving actual explanations)

There's a portal that's recently been built. This portal allows you to dive into a completely different universe, with the ability to create whatever you want and do whatever you want. Make your own world, view other people's worlds, become someone else, make friends, kill people...the choice is up to you! But remember, whatever you choose to do, it doesn't matter, because none of it will change the world outside the portal.

Oh, but I forgot to mention to you. You see, the materials that power the portal are pretty powerful, so we had to create a separate zone just to contain it. People in the zone report experiencing phenomena similar to that within the portal, despite not having actually entered the portal. But do not fear - as long as you maintain a healthy amount of contact with the portal, you should experience little to no effects in the real world.

Bearing in mind, what is healthy for one person will not be healthy for another. And, if you spend too long in the portal, especially if you're engaging in acts that would be morally dubious in the real world, you're very likely to experience side effects that are less than ideal.

(If you need me to explain the post, send an ask)

More sneak peeks of my writing of how fiction affects reality

[cannicullistic]

Borderline Plural Demographic.

It's the new plural & cluster b inclusive server, with a mission goal to fight stigma, create a safe space for your people, and bring people together!

This is an initial post on the generic guidelines of our server, our mission statement (aka what we stand for) and proposing to our demographic about us.

Guidelines to the Discord Server & Tumblr Community:

Respect everyone who comes in, and out, of our server. We welcome good faith identities such as 'lesboys' or others you may be familiar with, Anti-Contact Paraphilia's, Proshippers & related. We do not welcome TransID or ill faith labels like transHarm or anti labels.

Please note that NSFW Content in general is bannable within our server, however we do not have control over what a user makes their profile picture, status, bio and such. We can only ask them to change server side stuff if they have the ability to on discord. Otherwise if its something like a spam bot, we also ban them on sight.

We are an endogenic, plural, non-traumagenic centric community that welcomes anyone outside of plurality & cluster B to join. We even allow singlets who are willing to learn!

We do not want members here who are 14 and younger, or 31 and older. Our server and community range from 15-30 for security reasons. If we find out you're not in this range, we reserve the right to remove you instantly from the community, no questions asked.

Drama is bannable. Period. If you bring up something with a user that occured over 3-4 months ago, we typically take this information with a grain of salt because we believe after 3-4 months, a person can make a good change for themselves and seek out help, actively get better and improve their behaviour. Do not witch hunt any of our users, it's not acceptable at all.

As this is a shared space between minors and adults, we kindly ask that adults and minors refrain from DMing no matter the situation. If a minor requires help from a vent for example, an adult may not offer to DM, this is a red flag to us and we will question the adult in a ticket, asking why they'd want to be in a private space with a minor where we don't know what they could be saying or planning. We do not say this to think adults cant be trusted with minors.. it's just that we cannot and will not risk anyone being put in harms way like this. Just simply don't DM people of the opposite age group, only keep to your own please.

Respect everyone's role and boundaries. For some you may need to do a bit of extra diving to see them in a users account and or bio, this isn't too hard to do, and saves people from being upset!

Please use common sense when joining our server, and have some level of emotional maturity. We stand by the idea as well that systems are held accountable for their entire system, be advised.

Stigmatizing, stereotyping, giving negative feedback of and discrediting disorders (especially Cluster B disorders) are a punishable offense and will NOT be taken lightly. Also, this is a server that is pro-recovery for all disorders and against censoring food. We also are pro-emotional permanence and allow IRL's and DA's. However, we don't condone constant feeding of delusions unless it is a comfort (or identity) situation for someone.

Lastly; Creating a safe space for Cluster B disorders can be hard on even staff who may have these or other disorders, so how can you the user help us out? By fighting stigma, stereotypes, and supporting those with these disorders by actively reaching out and providing helpful links like our server and our resources!

Our Mission statement

Our mission statement is to create a community that is stigma & stereotype free for especially Cluster B disorders, along with validating the experiences they, and plurals, have. It's the best of both worlds!

discord permalink: https://discord.gg/8PTCt9v5zj

We invite you to take us on as a new community for you to join - feel free to ask questions under posts related to the server or community, and also open tickets within the discord! Remember, you are seen, you are loved, and you are unique. <3

THIS IS ACTUALLY CRAZY HELLO?? IMAGINE LOSING YOUR **OWN CHARACTER** BECAUSE SOMEONE DOESNT LIKE THAT YOU HURT THEM........

not submission. I really hate the "My OC, my rules" thing. Cause like, no? Just because they are your oc doesn't mean you can do whatever you want with them. If you want to make your oc suffer and not like them get help, you deserve to lose rights over them. Especially if you only do that stuff to purposely trigger people. Once you do that, your oc no longer belongs to you. they belong to the public who will take better care of them instead

Making a comment to get this to post.

[ilynpilled]

it frankly pisses me off that what is essentially “rapists and abusers should be depicted as monstrous caricatures because humanizing them is inappropriate” is considered a very moral and enlightened position to have on art by so many people. a rapist can feel pain, have moments of vulnerability, be amiable and charming, express remorse and compassion at times, be a victim themselves, and so on in real life. they are capable of doing good things. they can have different sides to them and have individuals in their lives that they are kind to or have a decent relationship with. they will be a human being, and that fact encompasses a lot. conflating that with the claim that they are entitled to and deserve your forgiveness or absolution is an issue. nurturing a mindset that believes they need to be one note and uncomplicated to be a correct and tasteful depiction of a rapist inadvertently falls in line with the logic of “how could they have possibly raped you? they are so normal and kind to me. they did all these good things here and there.” ok that doesn’t change that they are a rapist.

[t4tpumpkinduo]

tbh i do think the way you interact w fanbase can be and often is political. i do think you should unpack why you think certain things. i do think you should confront why you either ignore or objectify or treat poc like abusers. i do think you should look into why you can't bother to care about women characters. like i do think that matters lmao lol lmao. it's not raining on anyone's parade to rightfully point that out.

[beanghostprincess]

I mean… wlw content get overshadowed by mlm ships everyday so it is insensitive a little

Not to sound too mean but what do you expect me to do? I get that sapphic ships get overshadowed and underrated all the time in comparison to achillean ones. Believe me. I am a lesbian who is constantly pushing their sapphic ships everywhere.

But you can't expect people to suddenly stop posting about the achillean ships they enjoy just because they're more popular than YOUR favorite ships. Is it bothersome that achillean ships get more attention for the sole reason of being a male pairing while sapphic ships get ignored or not even suggested? Yeah!!!! It's frustrating.

But if you want some change in the amount of content you see then it's YOUR fight only and others should be allowed to post whatever they like. If you want to post only sapphic ships or you're bothered by them being talked in the same light as achillean ones, then it's YOUR choice to make.

Fandom is NOT activism!!! Fandom is meant to be enjoyed in whatever way you want. Fandom is to interpret media in your own way. So, honestly, if I want to make a simple post comparing two ships I like, why should I be trying to defend myself here for that? If people don't like it, then they can just block me, scroll, move on, etc.

To think a post about comparing fictional ships is insensitive is insane to me, tbh.

[leviathansbiggestkinnie]

Honestly I'm done fighting proshippers they're all just annoying as hell

Still writing about how fiction affects reality though
