I don’t know where this recent idea came from that fiction has to be perfectly healthy anyway. Fiction is not inherently healthy and never has been, its not real, its for exploration and imagination. Fiction is separate from reality and that is why we like it. What you write about is not what you condone, Stephen King is not serial killer for writing about murder. People are not being “abuse apologists” for shipping two characters in a less than healthy way.
I’m sick of this new trend.
You don’t have to like a ship but you want to know what is actually hurting people? What is not promoting healthy behavior? Harassing shippers, telling them they’re disgusting over fiction, that kind of shining behavior antis exhibit.
Tag invaders (for one example) are displaying an unhealthy behavior. You don’t burst into your neighbor’s living room and tell them they’re gross for liking that television program. You don’t monitor their bedroom and tell them they practice their sex lives incorrectly—not if you’re a healthy individual, you don’t.
Of course, you see where I’m going with this.
