In modern society, it has become an issue that sex is "everything".
"You havent lived right if you havent had sex"
"You havent had fun if you havent had sex. "
"You dont love someone if you havent had sex"
These are lines I've actually heard, when I explained to someone I wasnt comfortable with sexual encounters at a young age.
It's pathetic that our society relies on sex.
This also applied to fan-fiction. The fact that the only way for a writer to gain traction is through pure, unfiltered smut is insane, and the fact that everyone eats it up is crazy to me.
Whats even worse is the lack of any fluff. Love is more than just sex, is the little moments, the subtle, innocent touches, the holding hands under a sunset and staring at the sky, the hugs after long days, and laying on the couch watching movies. The spending time together innocently, that doesnt turn into something more, just that. Innocence.
I miss when stories would wisk you away to a brand new world, and have stories that were so breath taking and jaw dropping, that tears would fall out of my eyes, at the slightest plot twist.
This goes to books and fan-fiction. Books now-a-days barely pass by as original. So many follow the same plot, of a half-done, 4 chapter storyline plot, and then pure, unfiltered, smut, and then ends. No aftercare, no sweet moments. Just sex.
Fan-fiction is slowly starting to follow in these so called "successors" footsteps.
A barely there plot, and pure smut, with nothing after.
It's become so bad, that it's like reading something AI, because it had no more emotion.
It's uncreative and frankly lazy. I don't give a shit how much time and effort a person claims to have put into it.
Watching porn, and then writing it is not creativity.
Sex should not be considered something "creative."
On top of that, the fact that tags with "underage sex" and "Incest" and even "rape" stories of such, absolutely enrages me. If you enjoy writing content of this low-level, you should feel ashamed of yourself, and even more if you actively enjoy it. These are topics that are serious problems in society, made to be some terrible excuse to write two minors having sex, something that should not be normalized.
Sexual tendencies is a natural way of the body, I'm not saying don't, however dont force everything to revolve around sex. Stories leading up to sex, and only sex, or just asking people for sex and nothing more.
This might lose me followers, or anger people, however I also feel it's something others are noticing too. This is an opinion, however.
