I have one! I’ll deadass be in my room with it on listening to music and disassociating for hours 😂

It has a buncha colors but these are my faves

Purple bc insanely gorgeous 100/10 just beautiful

Then the light blue/green makes me feel like I’m underwater, 11/10 love to imagine I’m drowning

And then dark blue bc it feels like I’m in space, 10/10 would love to go there and stop breathing

I think this is a conversation that fandom needs to have in general.

When you encounter something that makes you uncomfortable while you’re playing a video game, reading something on AO3, browsing Twitter, or scrolling through Tumblr, you have the power to remove yourself. You can stop reading, you can hit the back button, you can block/mute, you can turn the device off entirely.

“Consent” has a very specific meaning. When you’re consuming a piece of media that a creator has posted on their own personal account, you are in their space. That is a one-sided interaction. They’re not at all involved, they can’t reach through the screen to hit the back button for you. They’re not “violating your consent” or “pushing your boundaries”, because you are the one in control.

We need to stop acting like creators are 100% responsible for the mental well-being of every person who could possibly encounter their work, and instead start taking responsibility for our own online experiences.

Remember when Persona 5 came out, and then people got upset because the game required you to acknowledge on starting the game that it was a work of fiction without any direct connection to reality.

And that if you refused to do so, the game would kick you out entirely.

People got actually honest to god MAD over the idea that they were expected to treat fiction like fiction.

There was at least one big name professional “journalist” who claimed he couldn’t get past the first minute of P5 because it refused to proceed until he admitted that this was a work of fiction and he was apparently incapable of doing that.

This is such a bizarre concept to me because media is inherently passive--you choose to watch, to read, to play, etc. A movie or a book or a game can't "violate" your consent, because you can stop anytime things become uncomfortable. You are in control of your experience. If you can't acknowledge fiction as fiction, maybe you shouldn't be interacting with it.
