Honestly, I’m really sick of people acting like abuse survivors are the lord high lords of fandom.

It seems like every time dark, edgy writing or shipping preferences are brought up, people turn to us and ask, “Is this problematic? Who do we need to harass and demean?”

No one, you shitheads, because it doesn’t matter, and we don’t make the rules. There are no rules. As long as you aren’t doing anything explicitly illegal, it doesn’t matter.

So what if some eighteen-year-old girl on tumblr ships SebaCiel? What does this affect in the real world? Who does this affect other than you and your own delicate sensibilities?

So what if some twenty-four-year-old dude on tumblr writes about dark subject matter? Since when were you the fiction police? Who gave you the authority to tell him not to do that?

Who told you that you were the sole decider of what fiction is and is not acceptable? Where the fuck did you get such a ludicrous idea from? Do you seriously think that just because you’ve been through something traumatic you and only you get to decide what’s okay to write about and enjoy?

That’s fucking dumb, mate, get off your high horse and let people enjoy their fiction the way they want to enjoy it. Your personal experiences don’t give you or anyone else the right to decide what’s acceptable and what’s not. That’s not your place. That’s not anyone’s place.

You can be uncomfortable with something without being a self-centered, narcissistic douchebag. Fuck off.
