#anon you're weird as hell ngl. this ask pissed me off

[blessyouhawkeye]

...they also said they wouldn't consider putting trigger warnings on the kinnporsche novel because they felt the novel's content didn't require it. (that's just like. patently untrue but the way from what i've heard the novel makes the series look like a kid's movie.) those two points are kind of broken telephone information...

The thing I don't understand is, if book readers have already told you that the book is already full of problematic themes in addition to explicit r*pe scenes, and you know you are triggered by it and can't handle it, why would you still voluntarily choose to read the book???

A great portion of the English speaking KP online community has taken the advice of other book readers when they tell them that the novel is a dumpster fire, don't read it... people who aren't even triggered have abstained from reading the books simply because it's not good writing style wise or they simply don't want to read those types of scenes...

Book readers have also given disclaimers on the type of stuff in the book. If you are easily triggered, why would you still choose to read it? It doesn't make sense???

literally what did i say about not wanting to get into discourse. but also this ask is so baffling to me.

i haven't read the book. i don't plan to, not because of the content but because it's fucking terrible. i don't think it needs trigger warnings because i'm "easily triggered" i think it needs trigger warnings because of the lengthy and graphic rape scenes. saying people who are "easily triggered" just shouldn't read the book is a fucking insane statement that 1. pins the blame on the person who would be negatively affected by the content (most commonly SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT, which is why that turn of phrase is NUTS to me) and 2. takes the accountability away from the authors, who should be aware of the very serious subject material in their novel and not take it as lightly (like they currently do).

also, as someone who doesn't speak thai i have the unique experience of hearing about the novel through people who have read it, due to there not being an official translation or decent fan translation. so i know the content of the novel because people who've read it warn international fans about it. BUT IT'S A THAI NOVEL? NOT EVERYONE HAS THAT EXPERIENCE? SO weird of you to frame the conversation about the novel and trigger warnings around ENGLISH SPEAKING FANS?? thai readers deserve content warnings too, especially since the show has gotten so popular and people might be seeking out the novel for the first time.

i don't want trigger warnings for me personally i want them for everyone, especially those would would actually be affected and for those going into the novel blind.
