have the characters stop what they're doing and tell the audience that these things are bad and you shouldnt do them
ยฟ๐–๐–”๐–’๐–” ๐–Š๐–˜๐–™๐–†๐–˜?
i honestly feel like if you need to be told things are bad otherwise you will do them thats a you problem, your morals arent that strong

'make sure it's shown as BAD' okay i'm gonna sound off right now
โ™ฐ Javert โ™ฐ
I read a book this year. It's called Babel. it had a lot of fanfare and praise.
โ™ฐ Javert โ™ฐ
I really ended up hating it.
โ™ฐ Javert โ™ฐ
and it's because it's written to the kind of audience that will shout about how you have to showcase bad things as BAD
โ™ฐ Javert โ™ฐ
like. there was racism in the book but it was SO FUCKING HEAVY HANDED.
โ™ฐ Javert โ™ฐ
it was like i was being lectured at?
โ™ฐ Javert โ™ฐ
like
โ™ฐ Javert โ™ฐ
"This guy is racist and i mean REALLY racist, it was abominably racist, as he says, <very racist thing>"
โ™ฐ Javert โ™ฐ
it was like
โ™ฐ Javert โ™ฐ
you truly do not have to bend over backwards describing how racist your villains are.
โ™ฐ Javert โ™ฐ
we can see that they are racist and you're not sympathizing with them.
โ™ฐ Javert โ™ฐ
you don't have to tell us in footnotes.
Shan-aconda
... No I want to root for the bad guy sometimes because it's fucking fun
โ™ฐ Javert โ™ฐ
Shan-aconda that too, let me enjoy what i enjoy in FICTION.
โ™ฐ Javert โ™ฐ

โ™ฐ Javert โ™ฐ
this is like the today's-age "Violence in video games makes people do violence"
Shan-aconda
Do I care that Tina is innocent while freddy drags her across the ceiling
Shan-aconda
Nope
Shan-aconda

Shan-aconda
Do I understand that Freddy is bad
Shan-aconda

StupidSexyVโš der

Shan-aconda
Do I ship the fuck out of Billy and Stu from scream, or Fisk and Wesley From Dare Devil yes to understand the are horrible and evil people yep but am I going to have fun with some dark ass fiction? Yes. Because it's not real
Shan-aconda
Shan-aconda
These are the same people that get mad when people cosplay villians
ยฟ๐–๐–”๐–’๐–” ๐–Š๐–˜๐–™๐–†๐–˜?
โ™ฐ Javert โ™ฐ : yeah i would hate that kind of book. the audience doesn't need to bit hit over the head with being told its bad!!
StupidSexyVโš der
Fisk and Wesley are ๐Ÿ’ฏ in love with each other in some kind of way.
Shan-aconda
StupidSexyVโš der : Yes Thank you
StupidSexyVโš der
give me my knight and nobility love tropes
Shan-aconda
They bang and I love Venessa and Fisk but sometimes I'm just like she's a beard, and Wesley is a psychopath that handles things for fisk
Shan-aconda

idiomatic's review of Babel
this is the book i'm talking about and this is a spot-on review for why the book frustrated me lol
ยฟ๐–๐–”๐–’๐–” ๐–Š๐–˜๐–™๐–†๐–˜?
me: i think kylo ren is hot and he's an interesting character
them: oh so you excuse fascism? are you a nazi apologist? you condone rape?
Shan-aconda
^
Shan-aconda
Or Oh what would become of Stu and Billy if they got away with it and out a live in Scream
Shan-aconda
SO YOU YOU LIKE SERIAL KILLERS
ยฟ๐–๐–”๐–’๐–” ๐–Š๐–˜๐–™๐–†๐–˜?
oh okay but that would be an interesting story right there
Shan-aconda
ยฟ๐–๐–”๐–’๐–” ๐–Š๐–˜๐–™๐–†๐–˜?
ooh def drop me a link when you finish it
Shan-aconda
Shan-aconda
but based off this plurk lol that's a give in
ยฟ๐–๐–”๐–’๐–” ๐–Š๐–˜๐–™๐–†๐–˜?
just as long as you're sure to preface the fic with a long disclaimer about how bad and wrong their actions are beforehand it should be fine
Shan-aconda
(LOL)
ยฟ๐–๐–”๐–’๐–” ๐–Š๐–˜๐–™๐–†๐–˜?
even typing that sentence out made my eye twitch

man A03 tags have gotten wild on some fics
ยฟ๐–๐–”๐–’๐–” ๐–Š๐–˜๐–™๐–†๐–˜?
i'm just so over this morality police
ยฟ๐–๐–”๐–’๐–” ๐–Š๐–˜๐–™๐–†๐–˜?
if you cant handle something dont engage with it but some of us like horror and dark subject matter because its an escape and we can control how we engage with it
Shan-aconda
like Legit, Canon Divergence they get away with it, blood play, knife play, breath play, period typical homo phobia / internalized homophobia, creator grew up in this era so random referances to period appropriate media unlike some of you fucks writing a fic that takes place in 96/97
Shan-aconda
not that last media one, but the first group
Shan-aconda
lol
ยฟ๐–๐–”๐–’๐–” ๐–Š๐–˜๐–™๐–†๐–˜?
it is dumb as fuck to argue that just because subject matter is grotesque and makes people uncomfortable, it should not exist because thats the same reasoning certain states use to ban books about lgbtqa and racism
StupidSexyVโš der
Shan-aconda : I very much geek like Fisk feels like he is supposed to be in a relationship with a woman, have a family ect, and yes he loves her but almost more the idea is her. meanwhile Wesley is very much who he sleeps unbothered and unworried next to
Shan-aconda
StupidSexyVโš der Very much this, I read a fic awhile ago where she calls him on it.
StupidSexyVโš der
...liiiiiink?
Shan-aconda
In kind way? Because she's a get stuff done woman, and can handle shit, but she's not mean to Fisk or Wesley.
Shan-aconda
Lemme see if I bookmarked it
Shan-aconda
go sleep with your shooty stabby boi
Shan-aconda
Who cleans up your dead bodies
StupidSexyVโš der
yes

but yes that sounds great
antler queen
it's about cannibal incest twins, I don't think it's gonna be wholesome fun y'all
antler queen
also villainfuckers unite; I don't need to justify why I think fictional villains are hot; it's usually because they're played by an attractive person villainizing hotly
Shan-aconda
this is like get off my murder and violence lawn media illiterate youth
antler queen
remember the tumblr teen who wanted Hannibal to be the anti-hero
antler queen
"he eats people since 1983, Sharon"
antler queen
"Will/Hannibal is morally wrong" oh no shit????
antler queen
the stupider people get about this the more morally wrong things I want to ship
