#the murdergore writers and the noncon artists and all the rest are not hurting real people

[theunawerewolf]

Let me be very, very clear: I am anti-censorship when it comes to fictional depictions of any sort. I am anti-censorship in writing, in painting, in drawing, in song, in WHATEVER. I don't care if what you're creating was created to cope with trauma or if you're writing a taboo subject because you get off on it and you want to explore that. Even things that I think are gross and won't read myself, I will die on the hill that says you're allowed to create it. I am anti-censorship even about that thing that squicks you especially. Things that are amoral in real life, illegal in real life, or unpopular in real life. Fiction is not hurting anyone; characters are not real people. If you are sharing your work, and you are clear about the content it contains, then the onus is on the person who is perceiving the work to decide for themselves if it is something they can safely receive.
