CW FOR RANT, MENTION OF PET TROPE, AND MENTION OF VORE.
Ok, there’s been some talk abt the pet trope going around as of late and I’ve decided to say where I stand on the trope…this is also one of those things where my autism and way of seeing things plays a role in my opinion on something so bare that in mind
I don’t care for it….in the slightest
I’ve only read like 3 fics and a oneshot that have it and I just…no.
The only reason I read those fics in the first place is because one has aliens, the other has furries, and the 3rd has dragons and vore in it….that’s it, I don’t read them for the trope, I only read them for the aliens, furries, dragons gt and vore…go figure.
Now as for my actual opinion on it:
1: it makes me uncomfortable. And 2: the whole idea of owning another person as nothing more then a pet I find disgusting, demoralizing, undignified, and illogical. It’s just if slavery was a storytelling device and I don’t like it. I don’t care if it’s for angst, I’m still not gonna like it.
Like who in there right mind sees another person who just so happens to be smaller or is different in some other way and thinks to themselves “hmm, pet”, like what the fuck? What kind of ass backwards way of thinking is that?
Fun fact: this trope is why the story of Detroit become human, as amazing of a game and story it is, makes me uncomfortable.
I dunno man, it just isn’t my cup of tea and it makes me feel icky when I read fics with, and the only real I read said fics in the first place is cuz they either have vore, aliens, gt, or furries…or some combo of them.
Bottom line is I don’t care for this trope and I try to avoid it when I can. That was it, that’s where I stand on this matter. This is more of a rant if nothing else lol. Thanks for listening. See y’all later^^
