I just do not understand how ppl think what you read magically makes you a better or worse person on a moral level. I'd say if you think enjoying dark stories or tropes like enemies to lovers turns you into an evil person that you
1) obviously don't read classic literature (I won't spoil Titas Andronicus for you, apparently ppl who love Shakespeare are terrible ppl)
2) have a very bad understanding of morality.
If all of that were true the entire Hannibal fandom would be a bunch of rabid gentlemen cannibals. But to my knowledge, we are a lovely group of talented ppl, who largely get left alone from naysayers, even though Hannibal literally tries to eat Will. I've never been harassed for being a fannibal or hardcore hannigram. Like we know they aren't healthy, that it's not realistic, that it 'glorifies' an unhealthy relationship if you want to go there. But we all know it's fiction, and we love how fucked up and beautiful it is.
Idk why some ships and fandoms get so much hate online and others don't. But I don't think it has anything to really do with the argument that reading certain taboo things makes you a bad person, because otherwise being a fannibal would be an online death sentence lol. I'm beginning to think it more has to do with some kind of other prejudice against certain types of media or people, I'm not sure what yet. Trying to figure it out.
But just please for the love of all that is good, do the moral thing, and don't harrass people or make them feel bad for the media and fandoms they enjoy to escape for reality? Escapism isn't what makes the world an ugly place.
