reblogging bc liz articulates it so well 🔊

it's also worth noting that you don't necessarily need to have trauma to enjoy or feel interested in these topics. there's a lot of shaming/guilt tripping going around which is so weird bc these kinks have BEEN a thing in all nsfw communities since the beginning of time! these topics are considered taboo which is what intrigues people and that's ok - humans have always been drawn to the forbidden! it's perfectly okay to explore these kinks in a fictional setting. no one is saying they want to do these things irl! stepcest/incest are popular in many nsfw communities and porn (lol) but that doesn't mean anyone wants to actually fuck their siblings!!! and for example, cnc/rape play is a very popular kink - it doesn't necessarily mean the person wants to actually be assaulted. there are a number of things that may fascinate them about it - the thrill, relinquishing control, etc. rather, they will usually have a healthy discussion with their partner about how to incorporate it in a way that's safe and enjoyable for both parties. this is how kinks are usually implemented irl!

it also feels like the majority of people i have seen complaining about ddne are underage? (i'm assuming so as a lot of times their ages aren't even visible on their blogs which is like the NUMBER ONE thing you should be doing if you are going to be engaging in mature content). this is exactly why minors shouldn't be interacting with, let alone commenting on the ways of nsfw content, whether here or anywhere else. these are extremely mature topics in an already established adult community. and for those who are adults crowing about the same things, everyone is responsible for curating their internet experience. just bc you don't like something doesn't mean you can police someone else from liking it in a space that THEY created for themselves. there are certain topics that i don't really like to read about, so i just continue scrolling. i don't need to pat myself on the back and have my mutuals congratulate me for calling those fics disgusting and denouncing anyone who even enjoys them a little bit as a dangerous freak. so many times i've seen people complain that they just read a fic with incest or something in it... why did you read it when you clearly saw the content bolded and highlighted at the beginning of the post with all the warnings in the world plastered for all to see? that is 100% on you for proceeding when you knew you weren't the target audience! that's not the writer's fault!

i also agree with liz that i see far more people complaining about ddne content than the ddne content in question itself! i'm always seeing discourse pop up in the tags and my fyp. i don't like seeing this as it's contributing to the mistreatment/harassment of writers. i don't think the anti ddne crowd quite understands the impact this discourse has on writers in general. it's revealed a lot about the RE community in particular - they have made it apparent that writers are to be taken for granted, dismissal of writing/fanfics in general (stating that anyone can do it and that someone's writing isn't worth anything), should only write what they deem to be appealing according to their standards, and that it's ok to harass/dehumanize them if they don't. i've seen the anon hate that my mutuals have received, and i've seen the multiple comments on posts like the one op posted. it's just disappointing and disheartening and discouraging. it's a shame that so many talented writers have to go through this when this is supposed to be their safe space. i've said it once, and i'll say it again - it takes an extremely thorough and capable understanding of a character to be able to successfully write dark content for them 🗣️
