if this bothers anyone they can kindly feel free to leave or ignore it or whatever but can we stop flooding the x reader tags with half-baked thinkpieces on why people should or shouldn’t do whatever with their writing. every other post is “you shouldn’t romanticize [x]” “you’re problematic if you do [x]” “stop writing about [x]” “[x] is gross and if you write about it kill yourself” how about if you don’t like certain content you heed the content warnings, block the tags, don’t interact with it, so on and so forth. of course part of our responsibility as writers, especially ones dealing with sensitive topics, is to label and tag our works appropriately but let’s be real—i hardly see any writers (at least within the bsd fandom) who don’t make it abundantly clear what they do/do not write about, interact with, or tolerate. wait until you find out how much fucked up shit happens in real life and how much some person on the internet coping with their trauma by writing self insert fanfiction about a cartoon character doesn’t fucking correlate to the perpetuation of that fucked up shit at all. it doesn’t even have to be that serious. people are going to write and read the content they want and they’re allowed to and you spilling your complaints all over the x reader tags “to boost attention” isn’t gonna change that. if you don’t like something ignore, unfollow, block, mind your own business. it’s actually super easy
#notice how i’m gonna tag this discourse… because that’s probably an appropriate tag to use#discourse#also these posts are almost always riddled with kys sentiment. like okay what makes you any holier than what you’re criticizing#don’t even get me started on the whole fiction inherently affects reality#because of course it does#but it doesn’t HAVE to#almost like there might be some nuance#and black and white thinking doesn’t really apply to things rooted in the infinite ways human beings can experience things#yall ever heard of writing as an outlet? 💀#my detailed descriptions of dazai whacked out of his mind on hard drugs are not manuals for how to live your life btw#cause i guess that needs to be fucking stated#someone having a fucked up kink is not the end of the world. JUST DONT LOOK AT IT!#and if you’re writing dark/sensitive content and not tagging it im squinting real hard at you. tag your shit#tldr tags exist for a reason. use them and use them right? it’s what they were fucking invented for#some of u guys don’t pay bills and it shows#reid speaks.ᐟ#fanfic discourse
