playerprophet replied to your post: I realized I wanted to talk more about this post...
in the context of RP I can agree with you, for sure. There’s just something about it that was unclear about the context that really made me :///// because I’m tired of people saying I’m responsible for minors that I don’t talk to or interact with.

Yeah I saw your response and realized there were multiple ways to take that post. I tend to default to ‘this person seems reasonable, so probably they mean basically what I also mean’, but that isn’t actually. How perspective works, haha.
The question of How Much Responsibility Does An Artist Have Regarding the Message of the Content They Put Into The World and How It Is Received is an... exhaustingly complex one, to me. But perhaps more immediately relevant; fanartists and authors are given an obscenely disproportionate share of the blame on that subject.
The issue isn’t ‘someone wrote an abusive relationship’ so much as ‘massive corporations sell Abuse As Love to millions of people, making billions of dollars of of it, and this is perpetrated over and over again ad naseum to where it is a predictable trope in mainstream media, and there is virtually no counter-culture of equal strength and visibility to argue with that narrative’.
