Thought this was getting better but then saw a comment on tiktok that said The MC from Shape of the Water groomed the monster. It had over a hundred likes.

please my fandom, it's very sick, it needs media literacy, please

#hey I'm alive #two adult sapient people doesjt equal grooming #that fish man learned asl so fast cause she was a sweet lady and fed him eggs and danced with him #like you can do this with anything #he fell in love like we all did watching her and he did not have any of the social pressures to do things with her #ive been seeing this lately a lot #the whole point of monster romance is giving the thing that looks inhuman/alien humanizing traits #its all about treating people who are different even when extremely so the same #its about loving the inhuman in a human way and recognizing the personhood of something that can be deemed inhuman/wrong #warrior cats example - real feral cat colonies dont have clan systems laws or religion - they are people in cat bodies #i think thats also what the Cats movie was about
