cj @carbon.skin · 04/06/2026also like read some actual published books not just sanitized-for-the-internet fanfic and you'll learn that fucked up shit in art has always been A Thing 120
cj @carbon.skin · 04/06/2026to add, the idea that 'what an artist portrays is some sort of fantasy they want irl' is absurd considering topics like murder are socially acceptable by and large. while its unfortunate certain tragedies have supposedly been influenced by media this tends to be exception, not rule 120
cj @carbon.skin · 04/06/2026final notes: this isnt to say you arent allowed preferences. you are. however you should enforce those at your own discretion instead of relying on other people to do that work, because if they actually mean you harm they don’t give a shit AND you’ve just given them cannon fodder 020
